Ceabhar Restaurant in Argyll & Bute

Always have a great experience. Fantastic food and friendly staff. Would highly recommend. Really love there takeaway pizza

Duncan & Polly and their staff are great hosts and it feels more like they're inviting friends into their home rather than guest into a restaurant, great home cooking, great pizza, and great beer (if you're on the island for a week order a keg). On the night we went the whole restaurant ended up in a discussion trying to figure out all the birds outside the window. Then the restaurant completely emptied of staff and customers to go watch a stunning sunset. If there's home made crumble on the dessert menu definitely save room for dessert.

The best place to go for dinner in Tiree. Great quality tasty food, and a stellar variety of beers and ciders made next door in the brewery. Duncan & Polly are lovely people and run a great business. They grow alot of their own veg as well. Don't come to Tiree without

Great to see Ceabhar open again. We ate here twice during our holiday on Tiree. Greta service from Duncan and his team and the food as always is great. Our son is coeliac and they had gluten free pizzas and a great GF selection on the menu. Also worth trying Duncan’s beers which are brewed on site. We will be back next year hopefully.

A wonderful meal on a very wet and windy night. Food to die for, lovely service and such a nice way to spend an evening with family. Unhurried service made us feel we were really being looked after. Our daughter's chorizo starter was declared awesome and our baked brie was just so gooey and delicious . . . the mains didn't disappoint either and two of the party managed to enjoy dessert too!

We visited Ceabhar on a windy and rainy evening towards the end of our holiday and were made to feel welcome as soon as we entered by Duncan and the team. We were given a choice of three tables and our daughter chose the one nearest the bar as she likes to see the barman on action. The fishy starter and mains were of great quality and the Faceplanter beer was superb. To follow, our daughter had profiteroles (of which we had to have a taste) , and we both had the wonderful cheesecake. A box of children's colouring books kept our daughter amused between courses and so pleased that Duncan and Megan called her by name. If we return to Tiree next year we will return to Ceabhar too. Thanks to all the staff at this great place.

Tiree has very few restaurants but this one way out in the sticks is a gem. The food, the service and friendliness of the owner was first class. Even the 5 mile bike ride there and back was worth it.

We had an amazing meal here! The food was exceptional, as were the staff - it’s clear that they take a lot of pride in their work. The beer (from the onsite brewery) was also fab. Highly recommended.

Was there with five friends on Saturday 15th June, having booked in advance in mid-April (very necessary due to limited opening - Wednesday to Saturday, 7.00-9.00pm, i.e. dinner only - and 30-place capacity) so it was full! The menu features delicious fresh local seafood but also steak and other beef dishes - plus starters and sweets. All served swiftly and attractively. Don't drink alcohol myself but my friends thought their SIBA-award-winning microbrewery products were excellent. And good value for money. All in all a great evening!

From the email booking I made before my holiday to paying the bill, the whole experience was enjoyable and friendly. The food was creative and delicious. My husband had a wonderful bouillabaisse and I ate a perfect ribeye steak. The service was very friendly; Polly and Duncan and team go out of their way to ensure that you have a relaxing evening. We went on a Wednesday evening and it was full, so do book! Island folk work hard, often in diverse ways, and Polly also sells her beautiful stained glass creations. And a final note, the views from the restaurant are divine, as you can see from the pic.

A lovely welcome from the owner/chef, and friendly waiting staff, plus a fantastic view! The food was really lovely - I had pizza and my husband had a casserole, served with lovely veg. We bought some of the ale to take away and it was great. A fun night!!!

Visited on Thursday 20th June, along with 3 others. Whole experience was second to none. Staff attentive and very knowledgeable about the food and drink. I have a food allergy which they asked about when booking via phone, then again when I ordered. Food was brilliant.....freshly cooked, hot, tasty and great portion sizes. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will most definitely be back when I visited again ......hopefully soon!

Beautiful restaurant on the island of Tiree, freshest food, all home made, 4 of us visited and we all loved every course,the owner was lovely , friendly and helpful , worth every penny, staff lovely too, 100% recommend this restaurant x

Excitedly booked as very limited choice of eateries on Tiree. Restaurant pretty full when we arrived. Menu was surprising as quite limited and mixed pizza with ‘mainstream’ meals. Some specials and limited wine also on offer. As well as home brewed beers. The Thai soup was delicious actually, the scallops fine and the steak disappointingly medium rather than rare. Mains served with regular mixed veg and roasties. Profiteroles ..strange pastry, certainly not Choux. Overall it was mediocre. Expensive for what it was. What needed improvement was the waiting staff who just slop the food onto the table without a smile, and the overall smell of cooking that clinged to my hair and clothes. The food was good home cooking at best, nothing particularly outstanding. To improve, the source of the food would be good. Napkins too rather than paper. To be honest, the best food place on Tiree is the co op.....

Wonderful meal in small perfectly located gem. Fantastic pint of home brewed ale and enjoyed the nettle and seaweed soup followed by the catch of the day bouillabaisse and some blueberry yoghurt ice cream to finish. Friendly and welcoming.

What an amazing place. Park on the grass. Great welcome. Food is absolutely delicious. Great choices. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

This is very popular so you must book well ahead. We enjoyed our visit here as there are lovely bay views from the restaurant. There is a good selection of food to choose from and we were very satisfied with our choices.

For many years after the Tiree Half Marathon & 10K I have been coming to the Ceabhar Restaurant for dinner. It has been the highlight of the weekend... Duncan & Polly are excellent hosts. The menu is relatively limited but the food is top notch. You should try Duncan’s new line in beer and cider. I tried the ‘Sleepy Head’ tonight and it was true to its name. Try out the Ceabhar - you certainly won’t be disappointed

We love going to Polly and Duncan’s when we are on Tiree. The food and service are good, it’s the best place to eat on Tiree. You need to book well in advance though.

A fantastic wee restaurant. Highly recommend this place. You are guaranteed great food, which you enjoy in a lovely location with views out to Kennevara. It is a hidden gem away from the hustle and bustle of Scarinish as it’s over in Sandaig, but you won’t regret going here for a meal. The owners are also great, very friendly and seem to love what they do. Would return here without hesitation.

Great restaurant with home-brewed beer and wide selection of delicious food. Location looks over the sea to the west for spectacular sunsets while you dine.

We were lucky enough to get a booking, organised via facebook, for this wonderful restaurant. we had a wonderful meal, full of interesting and very tasty food. the soup was so good my daughter ates all my husbands too! the drink was plentiful and the staff helpful, entertaining and lovely. the small bikes outside were a huge hit too! and we were lucky enough to catch a lovely sunset, taking two minutes to walk between courses behind the restaurant and watch a lovely red sun set. kids were welcomed and encouraged.

We booked our table on spec having fortuitously decided to stop for a breather whist cycling in that part of Tiree. How fortunate we were! Booking had obviously been essential; our initial enquiry resulted in an answerphone message being left, but an unexpectedly swift reply ensured our table for the following evening. The food was outstandingly good throughout- a special mention for the 'catch of the day' in which Polly succeeded in enabling the individual flavour of each of three types of fish come through the 'supporting' sauce. Duncan's enthusiasm for the food and his beer was evident and he , and the rest of the front of house staff, seemed to manage to give each table time and personal service without ever losing site of the needs of other tables. This was undoubtedly excellent dining with warm service to deliver it. Highly recommended.

No visit to Tiree would be complete without a visit to this amazing little restaurant.

I visited Tiree with my girlfriend and her family for the first time, and the 4 day trip could not have ended any better than with Duncan and Polly's hospitality. Met with friendly smile when we entered and the taste of Duncan's home-made gin they could not have been more welcoming. We chatted with the host and then before we knew it the food arrived. I ordered the steak, my girlfriend the catch of the day, the vegetarian option and pizza was also ordered. All of it was spectacular. I would have expected the same from a city centre top restaurant and here I was surprised at the quality being offered here. We finished off with a magnificent cheese board and a stunning blue cheese was the star. My first trip to Tiree was probably the first of many and some of that was absolutely down to Ceabhar

Living on an island four hours off the Scottish Mainland it is always a delight to visit this great restaurant. The staff are friendly and helpful, the food is well presented and the views are stunning. No wonder this is an award winning establishment where it is essential no make a reservation. When taking friends out for the evening we have never ever been disappointed. Thanks

Ate here for one night while on holiday. Lovely food well presented and plenty of it. Nice relaxing atmosphere and friendly owner.

I wasn't expecting much from a restaurant on the the tiny Island of Tiree probably a standard type of menu .. However, what a surprise. The restaurant was homely and relaxing and the menu was short but with exciting choices. There was a positive feel about the place and staff were great. The food was wholesome and tasty. Wines (and home made beers) were also good. One suggestion I would make to Ceabhar is to change the cheese board picture used for advertising on Trip advisor as it does not do justice to the restaurant's skills.

Very warm welcome on arrival from owner and staff, Fantastic scenery, absolutely superb food, microbrewery is a must to try, everything top notch. would highly recommend this restaurant, and lovely to hear a fellow Geordie ❤️

Warmest of welcomes and great food. Combination of soup, pizza, steak and gougere pastry dish were all superb. The desserts too were deeelicious. Highlight of our trip!

We had been with friends in May and while it was OK then there were disappointments. This time all went well. Good atmosphere and good service

Fine dining is difficult to find on Tiree but fortunately An Ceabhar rectifies that. However being the only place that produces fine food, and the only place that serves after 8pm you do need to book.

A very enjoyable evening with lovely food. A good atmosphere as the restaurant was full. Nice selection of food including good sea food.

Primera visita a Tiree y visitamos el Ceabhar una noche. Así no nos decepcionó. Cálida bienvenida de Duncan y personal y nos lo pasamos de maravilla. Tranquilo entorno agradable con buenas vistas. Bistec era estupenda, y que venía con él.

You need to book. So it is busy at holiday time. Restaurant with atmosphere. The host very welcoming. Not an extensive menu but what we had was excellent. Children friendly - wide range of home made pizzas on offer. No hesitation in recommending.

Visitamos dos veces durante nuestra semana en Tiree. Lo mejor es reservar, ya que es pequeño y muy popular, el propietario es entusiasta, amable y servicial. La comida es estupenda, con una buena variedad en el menú y ofertas especiales. Encantador restaurante con bonitas vistas y un ambiente relajado.

We missed it the first time because it's set back from the road (ocean side) but having found it wouldn't miss it again. Our best meal on the Island. Recommend the cauliflower, broccoli and blue cheese soup.

Visitamos aquí en nuestra primera noche después llegamos a las 7pm. Duncan tenía una mesa a la izquierda y nos la suerte! Dueños encantadores y la comida deliciosa - una ventaja fue que ellos también habían dejado la misma ciudad ya que tenía en el noreste! Noche agradable, eficiente y fabuloso! Con la ubicación - llevan a una playa de la puesta del sol y comida y cerveza la noche muy especial para nosotros en nuestra primera visita.

Excelente cerveza de barril, imaginativo, comida vegetal acogedor y amable, buenas vistas. Servicio eficiente, especialmente impresionante ya que todas las comidas cocinadas a la orden, cómodas zonas de asientos sin la sensación de atestado como siempre ocupado - reserva con antelación

Great meal at Ceabhar when we visited in September accompanied by some terrific home brew beer. Everything was very fresh...

Had a wonderful evening here recently . Our hosts were wonderful , my pizza was fab and the microbrewery tour was very informative. I love how this couple work together well done

Last year we are here when on island for Ultra and enjoyed a devious meal so our return visit with 2 of our 3 sons did not disappoint thanks Duncan and Polly again hope you have a great holiday and see you again hopefully

We ate at this restaurant twice during our recent one week stay in Tiree. Whilst the menu was limited, on both occasions we left satisfied. The owners, Polly and Duncan, were great hosts and the food was well prepared and tasty. The restaurant catered well for both adults and kids. The adults enjoyed Duncan's own Tiree beer and the fruit punch and the kids had fun with colouring books and games. Would recommend the pizzas - the hot mackerel and chilli pizza was a surprising hit - and the steak with delicious whisky sauce.

Ever since discovering Ceabhar - and its hospitable, ever-cheery owners, Polly and Duncan - we've been back again and again. What draws us? Yes, the food, but first the welcome. The warmth and passion that these two surf-loving Geordies bring to their cooking and their service. They love what they do - and never rest on their laurels. They'll chat with you, give advice on where the good waves will be tomorrow, and make you feel like Tiree has always been your home as well as theirs. And then the food... Polly's pizza, tick. (The best pizza dough this side of Rome.) Spicy chorizo starter, tick. (Our daughter pre-orders to make sure there's some left.) But the range is as wide as Polly's imagination - local produce (Duncan will nip into the garden for fresh herbs as the meal is cooking), fabulous meat, a developing line in gluten free mains and desserts - and all accompanied by carefully chosen Scottish beers, including in 2016 for the first time, Duncan's own brews. There is in all this a blend of comforting home cooking with real attention to detail. But if the food and the welcome is always of an incredibly high standard (and remember, this is a small island we're talking about), the setting is second to none - on the edge of the Atlantic, with the crags of Kenovara nearby and Skerryvore winking in the distance. Get a real Tiree sunset and you won't want to move from your seat. And why should you? Just ask Duncan for another beer.

Went to the Ceabhar for last night, our first ever visit and doubt it will be our last. Foid was delicious, so tasty. Met the lovely Duncan and Polly. Very friendly and chatty. Couldnt fault the neal. Very taty foid made to orde. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Tiree

We never visit Tiree without visiting Polly and Duncan for some of their genuine hospitality and great food. Concentrating on quality and a very warm welcome, you'll find that each table is only booked once each evening so we'd recommend early booking, especially in high season. Ceabhar is just the right size and in a stunning location. The views from the restaurant are amazing, but then this small island is one of the most beautiful places you'll find. The service is attentive and just right; not too much but you're never left to feel unattended. The food is delicious and imaginative with many of the ingredients being very locally sourced, or even grown by Polly and Duncan themselves. There's a fine menu with additional and ever changing specials always available, a good selection of soft drinks, wines and now Duncan's very own island brewery. Absolutely amazing.I think it's incredibly reasonably priced and always enjoy visiting Ceabhar. This business is ethical and serious in minimising its global impact. Well done Polly and Duncan, thank you. Looking forward to our next visit. :)

Beautiful location overlooking either the sea or the machair.A good choice of food which was excellently presented and cooked. Able and willing to adapt menu and catered for my coeliac wife. The service in this family run restaurant.was also first class. The restaurant is relatively small and has limited opening hours so it is advisor book well in advance to ensure a table.

We were staying at a B&B below Ceabhar and ate here twice during our stay on the Island.Duncan and Polly are a very friendly, warm and interesting couple to talk to. During the day you may find them out kite surfing but somehow by the evening, they have managed to rustle up imaginative, delicious dinners and the meals are incredibly good value. The menu isn't vast (so good stock control explains in part the sensible pricing of the meals) but is well put together. Eat earlier in the evening, if you want to choose from the full range on offer that day.An ethical approach to sourcing their supplies, to minimising their waste output and developing a sustainable approach to all aspects of their business helps create a really lovely aura around this place.If he has some on the go, do try some of Duncan's homebrew if a golden ale is your tipple of choice

Shame this place isn't open every evening as it is a lovely place to eat. The owners just love what they are doing. Good luck to them with their brewing plans.Highy recommended. Book in advance.

Brilliant! We are touring around Tiree for my wife's birthday. Our visit to Ceabhar has been the crowning glory of a great time on Tiree.Duncan is a great host we felt welcome even before we pulled in to the drive with our bikes! He has a friendly manner that more than matches the peaceful setting of Sandaig.The food was excellent, we each had 3 courses and coffee. Brilliant locally sourced ingredients prepared well is very difficult to beat. I had smoked Venison to start followed by Lobster and then Pavlova. With each course our smiles widened to a satisfied grin. This has also been one of the best value meals that I have had for a long time and will be very hard to beat. We will just have to come back.Also please do try Duncan's excellent micro brew in the words of my father in law "it was a damn good pint!"

We ate here a couple of times during our week on Tiree.The menu is limited in term of choice and if you don't eat early you run the risk of not having the full choice as dishes seem to be prepared in small numbers and when they're gone, they're gone.That's not to say the food is poor, far from it. Well prepared and served.A very good selection of beers and Duncan (the owner) is now brewing his own.I'm never keen on "we don't serve chips here" though.

This restaurant is a delight. The welcome, service and food is excellent. Definitely to be recommended and to return to. Thank you for two most enjoyable evenings.

Duncan is a very jovial host and clearly takes customer relations, and satisfaction, seriously. The welcome was warm and he kept in touch while we waited for our food.Ours was the only unoccupied table when we arrived, and the restaurant was really buzzing. All the diners appeared to be at the same stage of their meal, so presumably they all arrived at about the same time.Given how busy it was, the waiting time wasn't too long and the food was very good, although our sirloin steaks had been grilled a bit longer than we would have liked and were not quite the medium rare that we had asked for.All told it was an enjoyable meal washed down with a bottle of reasonably priced wine.

We recently visited Ceabhar for a three course meal which was superb. Starters included crab salad and pea & mint soup, followed by catch of the day bouillabaisse and a Tiree lamb stew. The hot lemon drizzle sponge was a great finish to a very pleasant meal. Duncan is a great host. Highly recommended if your visiting the island and looking for good local food.

Uns hat es so gut gefallen/geschmeckt, dass wir gleich zwei Mal kamen. Duncan und Polly sind wunderbare Gastgeber. Das abendlich wechselnde Speisenangebot war - egal was wir bestellten - immer ausgezeichnet. Sowohl das Seafood, als auch die Fleischgerichte und Nachspeisen waren perfekt. Und die grandiose Aussicht toppt das Ganze. Wir kommen wieder!

We been several times to the Ceabhar restaurant, over the last few years and everytime the food has been fantastic. The ingredients are mostly locally sourced and Duncan and Polly are friendly hosts.

If I were selfish I'd keep this secret, as apparently they get very heavily booked in the peak season. The food was lovely and Duncan was a wonderfully happy and brilliant host - so welcoming and friendly. He even refused to accept tips for himself, instead putting them all into the charity collection box. Looking forward to returning when Duncan is able to start selling beer from his new micro brewery. The only downside for me was that his beer was not yet on sale! I understand you have to book, so make sure you do!

We were delighted with our meal at this wee restaurant. A warm welcome, beautiful views and tasty dishes. A great range from home made pizza to the Salmon and Scallops special. Definitely book a table here if you're on the island.

wonderful views of the sea and excellent food. Extremely friendly owners who were very accommodating. If you don't have a car you can get the dial a bus service to take you and pick you up. Not sure of the cost of this service.

My partner and I had a fabulous meal at Ceabhar - excellent, friendly service and fantastic home cooking - particularly the sea bass main meal which was a special the evening we visited. We were also treated to a spectacular Tiree sunset right from our table.

This is a great little restaurant serving tasty and well cooked food. The starters and main courses were delicious and topped off nicely with light lemon sponge cake. The top eatery on the island!

Great food, a small restaurant run by a lively couple, be sure to book a table! The menu changes according to what is fresh and seasonal, local fresh seafood and lamb are frequently on the menu and vegetarians can be catered for, but tell them when you book.

Fantastic restaurant in Sandaig on Tiree, great food, normally has a cask of real ale on, but wasn't available when we went as it was the end of the season, but a very good selection of bottled beers and wine, all severed in a very happy and friendly atmosphere. If you like fish try the home made hot smoked trout if it's on.

When we visited they were offering both draught real ale and draught real cider, which was a really pleasant surprise (I assume it is the only place on the island to do so). The menu was imaginative and as a result it was quite hard to choose what to eat - we certainly weren't disappointed with the food. Got the feeling that the food on offer is constantly changing. Service got a little stretched towards the end of the night but was always very friendly and professional.Really enjoyed our visit.

Great location for watching the sun go down. Very warm welcome from Duncan and Polly, nice real ale on offer and well priced wines. Food is home cooking rather than fancy but it is tasty and the specials change frequently. Menu choices are small but there is pizza available and nice to see wholemeal base as an option too.

Ceabhar is a restaurant that delivers, and delivers very well, what it promises. It neither promises nor offers fancy cooking; instead good food, mostly made with local ingredients, and a surprisingly varied and interesting menu both more than meet one's expectations. The service from the owners is friendly and competent, the atmosphere entirely relaxed and the fact that the day we were there - a wet Tuesday night - the restaurant was full says it all.One needs to book - and you won't regret doing so.

Have eaten here several times now when holidaying on Tiree over the years. Quality of food and the level of service never fails to please.

This place is heavenly. Fantastic location, warm welcome from the owner and attentive but not intrusive service complemented by a varied menu with many interesting and tasty dishes on offer. We certainly hope to return during this visit to Tiree.

Had a fabulous birthday meal at Ceabhar on 26 June. The staff had to work extra hard due to the island power cut, which delayed service. Duncan, Polly & both of the young waitresses made everyone feel very welcome & service was brilliant!! Would definitely recommend & will be back again for another visit. Vegetarian options on the menu were great!Thanks to you all.

Good quality and unusual dishes, pleasant decor, beautiful views over the machair, and a warm welcome from the very friendly staff/owners who have an obvious passion for good local food. Excellent pork in rice paper and seaweed starter, and so many delicious desserts, it was difficult to choose. Excellent value - you would easily pay twice as much for the same meal in Edinburgh - highly recommended.

Loved this small restaurant, the food was homemade, tasty and the host was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble, loved our meal here

With fairly few options on the island at the time of our visit in May 2015 we guessed in advance that the Ceabhar would probably be the best choice for an evening meal and in practice this turned out to the case. Nowhere on Tiree is a huge distance from your base however with limited transport options you may need a designated driver to get you here to Sandaig, a hamlet with a handful of houses and sadly a closed and deteriorating building which once housed the Island Life Museum. That said the setting is picturesque and as you pull up off the road across the grass to park in front of the restaurant it’s a different experience. Sheep freely roam around the area and the sun was in the early stages of setting and casting long shadows over the hills nearby.Booking is essential due to the limited covers and its popularity. On the night we visited it was busy as we arrived at 7.30pm however by 9.00pm only ourselves and a table of six who had arrived a bit late were left but the overall atmosphere was relaxing and friendly. On entering there is a cozy bar area which then opens to the conservatory where diners can overlook the surroundings - every seat has a view. We were greeted by Duncan an amiable Geordie and co-owner of the restaurant - Polly, his wife, was doing the cooking. In addition to the small but decent menu choice there were a few “specials” and despite the beer selection probably outnumbering the wines available we nevertheless managed to get a nice enough bottle for £17.50.Starters for both of us was Black Pudding and onions served with salad (£6 each), followed by mains of Brown Trout (£14) and a Steak (£15) and to finish Homemade Profiteroles (£6) and a cheese selection (£6). Total cost of our three course meal for two with wine was £70.The starters were tasty. The trout (a “special“ on the night) was served in full with head and tail and I could have done with a side plate to help clear the debris. It was simply baked with lemon and the flesh parted from the bones with little effort making it perfectly enjoyable. My wife’s steak was cooked medium rare as requested and met with approval too. Both dishes were accompanied with a shared selection of fresh vegetables. In keeping with the honest policy of the restaurant Duncan provided us with a laugh when we queried the cheese selection, advising us that it too was locally sourced… from the Co-Op! It was nice enough as expected with a good selection of biscuits and apple however it would have been good to have had something a bit more local than Saint Agur. (There are plenty of Scottish varieties and even some from Mull which isn’t too far away). The homemade profiteroles were very good however I couldn’t be too distracted from the fantastic sunset which was happening outside and ventured out with my camera to capture the scene. The drive back to our rented cottage at Balephetrish Bay was one of frequent stops to admire the sun going down on another pleasant day on Tiree.

good food and friendly service. Haggis dish beautifully presented like we'd never had it before - excellent!

fantastic meal with extremely friendly and enthusiastic hostsvery reasonably pricedshame we didn't have space for pudding as they looked amazing

This was one of the best meals out we've ever had! With a warm ambience, friendly welcome and spectacular sunset views, it was already off to a good start. The meal itself was even better - thoughtfully-prepared local dishes that were chock-full of flavour and fantastic wines to complement (nice selection of malts too!). We'll be booking another trip over very soon!

This is a great, friendly place to eat on Tiree. Good setting and excellent menu of 'specials'. Duncan goes to alot of trouble to explain the different dishes which, in our experience on the night we visited, were very different to the usual run of the mill meals. In addition, they have a healthy eating award but don't let that put some of you off, there was a delicious sounding chocolate squidgy dessert on offer. This place is a must if you want to eat on Tiree.

A lovely restaurant serving thoughtfully prepared local food. Every dish was lovely and the service from all the staff was charmingly efficient.

An impressive menu, not least because even though it is relatively short there is only a limited supply of specials, which is a good sign that you are getting fresh food in a remote place like this. A friendly welcome and pleasant view. It is not cheap, but priced appropriately for such high standards.

We arrived on a very wet and windy night. Despite this the place was full. When our food arrived we could understand why. The menu was imaginative and the food beautifully cooked. We all chose a different dish and no one was disappointed. We were amazed to find such a delightful restaurant in such an out of the way spot. The service was friendly and efficient.

Had dinner here on a Saturday evening while on Tiree. There are limited places to eat on the island so we booked which is recommended.Lovely views from the dining area and the menu offered sufficient choice and was varied enough to cater for most tastes. It was refreshing to discover that Scottish real ale was on offer too and the impression is welcoming.If one thing marred our experience it was the way our waiter (probably the owner) "waxed lyrical" about every dish including the full description of dishes including desserts and how many were left!! We can read menus and do not need all this information repeated. I'm not usually one to be too critical but this became a bit overpowering and somewhat annoying.That said the food was very good and we enjoyed our meal. If on Tiree we would return to Ceabhar.

So good we ate all our evening meals here during our stay on Tiree. Can't say better than that really.

We were impressed by the selection of beersHas lovely views towards the cliffs of KenovaraFood was excellent and beautifully presentedService was informal and attentive. The hosts were very friendly We would love to visit again but likely to be some time before we go back to Tiree!We will certainly remember this one

Just got back from a wonderful evening at Ceabhar! Great hosts and great food. Definitely looking forward to coming back soon!

Went last night with five adults and six children. Restaurant had plenty of good atmosphere and accommodated this large party well. The owner was very friendly and child centred, and thanks for supplying the opportunity for the children to play outside! The restaurant is small but lovely in the dark evening with good lighting and music in the background. The food was lovely with generous portions , although is not inexpensive. Both the children and adults enjoyed their experience, the salmon pâté and haggis were particularly recommended. Definitely worth a visit on this amazing island.

Ceabhar was recommended to us a by a colleague who had never been able to eat there but who had heard great things. My fiance and I were so glad that we'd booked well in advance as we had a wonderful experience - a fitting end to a lovely 5 days on Tiree. Duncan was a very welcoming and genial host and Polly provided us with a beautifully cooked and presented meal - including two of my favourites, smoked venison and scallops. I would have preferred oatcakes with my cheesesboard but this is a very minor quibble. Polly's Heavenly Chocolate Cake was my fiance's idea of dessert heaven! The location is fabulous and the fact that Duncan had to go and shoo away the cows that were sheltering near the cars from the wet south-westerly was an earthy reminder of the bond between animals, islanders and the weather! A fabulous little restaurant but big in quality, style and atmosphere - thank you!

This turned out to be one of the best eating experiences I have ever had. Duncan is a great host, enthusiastic, attentive and charming whilst Polly is simply a great chef. The menu is tempting but the daily specials are even more mouth watering. My wife had The chicken stuffed with jalapeños, wrapped in smoked bacon and marinated in a spicy tomato sauce. I chose the herring filled with rhubarb and apple chutney. Both were served with fresh vegetables (perfectly cooked). The deserts were tremendous also. I recommend the cheeseboard.. Our kids ate from the children's menu. They enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the owners even provided circus bicycles for them to play on in the garden. The views are just stunning. You need to book in advance as it is very popular. The selection of ales, from Loch Fyne, are well worth a try!

Back for third year in a row! Still fabulous. Food, service and atmosphere excellent. Location incredible. Keep doing what you are doing. Esp the chorizo starter.

Just spent an amazing week on Tiree. We visited Duncan and Polly for two evening meals.Great Hospitality and fantastic food. The views are stunning and the lambs made us laugh with their antics.We loved the food especially the 'WIGIG'. Haddock wrap wow.

We ate here one lovely summer evening whilst on a weeks holiday to tiree. The views are very good, especially if you sit at the back and get a view of Tirees amazing sunset. The service from Duncan is very thorough and friendly making you feel very at home. The food dished up by polly is of a high standard. There was alot of dishes not available but That is just down to popularity! The only reason it is not a 5 is that I ordered the steak on seeing another dinners massive slab of cow, only to be abit let down on the size of mine in comparison. My partner had the seafood pie which was lovely but a smaller portion to what we are used to dinning out at home and priced higher. That may be a reflection of island prices, we only ate out once whilst we were away. There isn't an abundance of choice on the island to be fair. Had a lovely last evening to our hols and can't recommend tiree enough!

We were a group of 7 scuba divers from Tyneside on an adventurous trip to dive Skjerryvore and other sites around Tiree and Coll. The guesthouse was perfect for our needs with cosy sitting rooms, a well-equipped kitchen and very good standard bedrooms, most with en-suite bathrooms. Add facilities to wash and store gear, a compressor to fill our bottles and ample space to store cars and boats. And finally, a great restaurant next door with superb food and drink for those days when we didn't feel like self-catering. If that wasn't enough, our hosts Duncan and Polly could not have been more friendly and helpful. Thanks, you two. We would recommend Ceabhar to anyone, but especially divers, wind-surfers, cyclists etc.

Great hospitality and top nosh by Duncan and Polly. Nowhere else goes close. My son and myself were visiting for the Isle of Tiree Half Marathon. We had booked for 1930hrs but arrived early as it was difficult to predict how long it might take to cycle in the wind. Duncan was very accommodating and brought our reservation forward and is a great host.

This review relates to the restaurant.This was our first visit to Tiree and we were staying with some friends. Following our drive to Oban, the 4hr journey by Ferry turned out to be an enjoyable addition to our short break. The Calmac service was excellent on both legs. Prompt boarding along with good services on board. Delighted we took this option as opposed to flying. We arrived at Ceabhar on a very stormy, wet evening. We were immediately welcomed and the warm comfortable surroundings made as quickly at ease. Although the menu wasn't extensive, there was a very good choice of 'specials' available. I had the Chorizo to start with, followed by Lamb, and chocolate cake to finish. All my courses and the side dishes were excellent. Extremely well flavoured and great ingredients. this was mirrored across our party. Some did find the cod slighly dry but this was our only negative observation. There was also a good choice of wines at reasonable rates. Our bill came to approx. £40 per person for 3 courses and 3 glasses of wine. Would I go back? Like a shot. The only downside would be the 8 hr trip but I would have no hesitation recommending both this restaurant and a voyage to see the many stunning vistas that Tiree has to offer. Go visit!

A great find. Located in the west coast of Tiree close to the shore with stunning beaches and easily in the top ten in the world! Great home cooked food and prepared to perfection. limited menu but sufficient to ensure the quality and most tastes. A most relaxing atmosphere and great hosts who were welcoming and happy to chat without being 'in your face'. Would most certainly return and recommend it to other visitors.

Lovely little restaurant on the west side of Tiree, enjoying spectacular views over the headlands and beaches. Brilliant spot for sunsets. Great seafood, steaks, pizzas in the sunny conservatory. Friendly, accommodating hosts too.

It is worth visiting Tiree to be able to eat in this wonderfully welcoming little restaurant with amazing views of the atlantic (time it right and watch the sunset) and beautiful landscape! Be warned, it is very small so you will need to book as it is very popular with the locals who all know about the wonderful food. The food is superb, all home cooked using the best (some home grown!) ingrediants. We had a lobster starter with what was called 'TDF' sauce - lived up to its name 'too die for'! There is a good selection of pizzas - we watched them being delivered to other tables but did not regret choosing from the 'specials' - didn't know home made lasagne could taste so good but it was a difficult choice as fresh lobster (didn't think I could manage to eat it all!) was also on offer. In addition to a good wine list there is a very interesting selection of real ales and fruit wines. Judging by the very well scraped plates returning to the kitchen, everyone else was enjoying their meals too!

we came here on the recommendation of local people and had a lovely meal. The absence of a children's menu meant they were tempted into experimenting and are now converted to good steak. And you can't beat a Geordie accent for 'Margerita Pizza'!

We had two meals here and enjoyed them both, really relaxed atmosphere, stunning scenery, tasty honest foodand Duncan make you very welcome. Not a great selection for fussy younger eaters but there is pizza what more do they need? Make sure you try the sticky toffee pudding my personal specialist subject and the Ceabhars' was one off the best.

Have been here for meal several years running and the standard is always the same - high!!!

We had dinner here last year while on Tiree, and went again the other night. On both occasions the food was excellent, drink good and atmosphere perfect. Great views across the machair to the sea. Unpretentious menu and service, and relaxing atmosphere. Will be back next year!

We ate at this restaurant on each of its four opening nights, Wednesday to Saturday. Polly and Duncan run a fantastic restaurant, a good wine list and great menu choices, the latter all perfectly prepared by Polly. The atmosphere in the restaurant is friendly and very welcoming.We booked all four nights a couple of weeks before leaving home. The other restaurant on the island, Elephants End, has closed down which makes getting a table at Ceabhar all the more important. It is wise to book early to avoid disappointment as this is a small establishment. Ceabhar no longer offers accommodation, we stayed at the excellent Rockvale Guest house at Balephetrish on our visit in May. The combination of staying at Rockvale with Ceabhar for our evening meals proved to be a winning formula on this delightful island.
