Galleon Grill in Argyll & Bute

Fantastic meal, beautifully prepared and presented, ideal surroundings for a lovely evening, and the wine selection was excellent.

We had looked forward to this dinner as a highlight of our Hebrides trip. There were some plus points, but our ribeye steaks were so overrated I couldn't finish them. We should've sent them back immediately, but foolishly didn't. I think the owner/ chef was away, but we were very upset as it ruined the evening. We were given free desserts and the other food was good. Also worth mentioning alarmingly dirty and sticky dining tables..very surprised and disappointed.

We found this cute lil spot right off the main road. We arrived after the main lunch hour and found they had run out of some of their food offerings. We shared the mussels, fried cauliflower, scampi and chips. The mussels were wonderfully done in a light broth with apple and onions. There were 2 dipping sauces of a basil oil and tartare. I’d recommend expanding some non fried options to the menu. I’m not used to eating so many fried foods Waitress seemed a bit independent

Wonderful restaurant. Seafood fresh from Mull cooked simply and presented beautifully. Elaine was welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend

No, this restaurant is not in the first row by the harbour. And no, you don't have commanding sea view. But honestly, this doesn't matter. The menu is small, local ingredients, and dishes are expertly prepared, freshest local seafood, and an interesting wine list. Great value. And the best affogato we had in Scotland - if you are staying in Tobermory, this is a must.

We tried to book a table for this evening over the Internet and had no response for over 6 hours. Then when the reply came through it was to say they were fully booked. Not the kind of service we expected from a restaurant with generally good reviews!

Shocked at the recent review MadDoc…. This place was fantastic. Fresh local produce. Menu selection was correct with very good service. Family run place where the owner runs the front of house and was terrific. Came with no expectations but was blown away.

Fantastic meal for my wife’s Birthday. Friendly service, great food and drinks. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Tobermory and looking for a meal for a special occasion.

Barely patronised at 8pm on a Friday. Very limited menu. About 6 starters and 5-6 mains. The smoked salmon was good, coming with crème fraiche sauce. Likewise, the ribeye steak was good, coming with nice skinny fries. The lamb rump came with new potatoes and beans, and was very tender. Respectable wine list. Desserts not sampled. Whilst the food was good, we felt it was pretty expensive and won't rush back.

We were attracted by the 5 star rating but found the food okay but unexciting. It felt like the business was struggling and I hope they can turn things around. Sticky table and gloomy lighting didn’t help. Maybe we caught them on an off night but on this evidence The Galleon needs to improve.

Absolutely delicious food! Locally sourced produce cooked to perfection and great service. Second visit and will definitely be back again!

Great food and friendly hosts. The steak was excellent, perfectly cooked. The tagliatelle was vey creamy and went well with the langoustines

This bistro is a real treat - small menu but we had no trouble choosing (including 1 dairy free and 1 vegetarian in our group ) - between us we had the scallops - salmon - steak and lamb all were delicious - felt like a genuine taste of mull - freshly cooked to order - nicely presented - good service - try the cocktails to start - highly recommend

Fantastic food and service, would highly recommend. Will definitely be returning when we’re on holiday again in Mull.

Stopped in for lunch, and We were NOT disappointed!! Quaint spot, great service, imaginative lunch menu with fabulous selection of wines. As a chef provenance is massively up there on my priority list and again this place did not disappoint AmaZing from beginning to end! Will be back

Galleon looks good from outside - inviting lighting but the decor inside just isn't as good (writing scraped on doors and hand written signs stuck on doors on way to the toilets lets it down). Maybe a change of lighting would help. Although it was quite busy there was strangely a lack of atmosphere. Food was good. Kids loved the chicken goujons. Although prices were comparative with elsewhere in Westport, considering the above, maybe a bit on the pricey side.

We had been looking forward to eating here for quite a long time. Unfortunately it didn't live up to our expectations. Some items on the menu were unavailable and the menu itself was a much smaller version of the food described on their website. There were no main meals suitable for myself as a vegetarian. the restaurant did say they could make me some pasta with a tomato base which im pretty sure came from a Lloyd Grossmans tomato jar sourced from the co-op next door. I was then charged a whopping £24 !! Needless to say we wont be back.

Very good restaurant, probably one of the top two restaurants In Tobermory. We had various meals which mostly was very good if expensive. I recommend the Lamb rump.

We were visiting Mull last Saturday and went to the Galleon Bistro on the Isle of Mull for a light lunch. We were welcomed very cheerfully and the service was really good. The food was excellent and the atmosphere of the Bistro was lovely. I would recommend it totally.

Lovely place, food was incredible. Locally sourced and delicious. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Will be back!

Delicious locally sourced food. We went in for some lunch and would definitely recommend it. I ordered the pan fried scallops and they were so fresh and tasty, washed down nicely with a glass of white grenache rose. My husband had the scampi and it was the best scampi he has eaten with a pint of Lock Lomon Ale. Small rustic and charming place.

My wife and I visited on our first night in Tobermory and had a brilliant meal. The restaurant had a great atmosphere with comfortable seating, the service was great and the food tasted fantastic. Where my wife has coeliac disease, meaning she needs gluten free food, this wasn’t a problem with the team quickly and easily being able to point out which options were already gluten free, which could be modified to be suitable and which would not be appropriate. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Great place for lunch. Menu is varied and not overly complicated so a nice choice. Great local produce which we always appreciate, that businesses support each other. Food was beautifully served, tasty and most certainly deserved of the good reviews. Would definitely revisit and recommend without hesitation.

Fabulous little bistro serving locally sourced quality food in an intimate atmosphere, delicious dishes superbly cooked,I would definitely recommend a visit to the Galleon.

Superb restaurant. The food (Scallops; Fillet steak) was cooked perfectly. We’ve tried all the main restaurants on Mull and consider this the best.

The restaurant is lovely- relaxed with friendly welcoming staff and the food is fantastic. Local oysters followed by fillet steak or cod were all delicious..

Seriously good cooking in a lovely and welcoming little restaurant. Not what you would expect in Tobermory in November, definitely a cut above, and reasonably priced for the quality. Would definitely visit again when next on Mull.

Situé dans une ruelle, ce restaurant est une petite petite. L'accueil est hyper convivial, chaleureux et personnalisé (même le chien est adorable !). La cuisine est excellente avec de belles associations de saveurs et une très belle présentation. Découverte de bières locales. Prix hyper raisonnables. Bref, au top !

My wife found The Galleon online and booked on a hunch we would enjoy the food. We Loved It! I would summarise the food as beautifully cooked, so very tasty, and provided in hearty portions that won't leave you hungry. We so enjoyed our first meal that we decided to change our plans the next evening and come back to Tobermory to eat here again. We were staying at what I guess is the fanciest hotel in Craignure, but its restaurant could not compete with The Galleon on quality, though I'd guess they were about equivalent on price.

The Galleon had always been a favourite place to eat before it changed ownership, so my husband and I were a little wary about taking our overseas friends here for a meal. We needn't have worried. The food was amazing, the atmosphere and service outstanding. We will be sure to eat here again next time we're on Mull. Highly recommend.

Delicious food, all freshly prepared to a really high standard. Local fish and beef, fantastic service - highly recommend.

Excellent food prepared and served by very nice, professional people, friendly and courteous. Should be worth at least 1 Michelin star!

I skipped past this place on TA in my search for good seafood as the blurb says it’s a steakhouse and doesn’t mention seafood. It also doesn’t appear when you search for ‘best seafood in Tobermory’ This is bizarre as we had fabulous mussels, langoustine and scallops. Generous portions, fresh as a Daisy and perfectly cooked. Chips were good too. Friendly service. Handsome house Labrador. We were 4 very happy customers.

Excellent food and service; The wine was spot on but not at an eye-watering price. Not inexpensive but what you expect these days . The Lamb chops were historic!👌😎

An exceptional meal, combining local ingredients with excellent cheffing ability and imagination. Wouldn't hesitate to return when next in Mull.

The galleon has to be the finest restaurant in Scotland. Simple, hearty dishes cooked in such a way that cannot be improved upon. The lamb in particular was a highlight. The chef and proprietor butchers his own meat before cooking slowly to ensure absolutely not flavour is lost. Starter was also equally as fresh as they come with the crab coming from the harbour mere metres from the restaurant itself and you can certainly taste the difference. The sauces complemented the seafood perfectly and so well balanced! Dessert was a triumph and I selected the special apple which was a chocolate apple filled with a decadent but light mousse and a centre of baked apple compote. The wine list does not let down also with quality wines at reasonable prices making this meal one I will never forget. The service and hospitality was warm and friendly, never rushed and made the restaurant feel like an extension of my own home. I implore anyone visiting mull or the surrounding area to make a point to visit this gem. You wont regret it!

A hidden gem. Tucked away in Tobermory, this venue is truly packing a punch. Wonderful food, beautifully presented, attentive but discreet service. No downsides, simply perfect.

Maybe our best overall dining experience in Scotland! Wonderful combination of warm /welcoming/ relaxed environment with elegant well prepared and even innovative food.

Amazing. The food was great everything cooked to perfection An amazing menu. They really gave me a night to remember. Just the best bistro ever.

Great food - we had wonderful oysters, mussels and fresh off the boat langoustines. Really friendly, knowledgable and helpful owners and staff. Lots of lovely little touches like quietly providing mayonnaise so I didn’t have to take my husband’s and providing wet towels for fishy...

Terrific Meal at the Galleon Bistro Husband and wife operation Great setting Terrific Food Had scallops, Lamb and beef mains

Found the Galleon Bistro off the main street of Tobermory. We had ham macaroni and cheese and a salmon sandwich. Both were excellent and big portions. The service was excellent and we never felt rushed. Would definitely eat here again.

Great food lots of choices and good service we really enjoyed our dinner. Good choice of beers and wines too.

We traveled in Scotland for 2 weeks and had some excellent meals, but The Galleon was best of all! The mussels appetizer was wonderful, and our mains (chicken and salmon) were both full of flavor and cooked to perfection. It is clear that Martin the...

The harbor town of Tobermory is a jewel upon the Isle of Mull’s rugged crown, and within it shines The Galeon restaurant. From the moment you cross its threshold, the place envelops you in warmth - and it’s just as comfortable for dogs as for...

This little gem is hidden in an alley way, just off the quay. We were four and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch - The food was delicious, service excellent, it has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and, importantly for us, the restaurant is dog friendly.

As the chef said in another post “the most simple things are often the most challenging to pull off :-) “ Completely agree and it’s just what we said about our visit last week. A delicious lunch was had by all. Quite marvellous. If visiting...

We had an excellent meal here earlier this week. My partner had the Salmon which was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious. I had the fresh lobster which again was perfectly cooked and delicious. For dessert we chose the sticky toffee pudding which was the best...

Wonderful, wonderful food in an intimate and lovely atmosphere. The salmon with preserved lemon potatoes was inspired. Outstanding restaurant. Do book ahead to get an evening table.

We had a brilliant meal at The Galleon during our stay in Tobermory. We tried to book via email for one evening but they were full, so offered us an alternative. The food was first class, from the starters to deserts. Very attentive staff without...

We loved this place and had lunch and dinner here. The food was excellent! Local seafood and produce, subtly cooked with sophisticated flavours. Big portions! :-) The staff very welcoming. They were super nice to our big dog, which is great! Would absolutely recommend

We stumbled upon this restaurant after walking up and down the Main Street and everything was busy. We are so thankful we waited, because it ended up being incredible food and the owners were so sweet. They were very accommodating with the kids and even...

Excellent atmosphere supporting fantastic food and service. I had veggie which was amazing, as was my husband fish. Highly recommended

We had a dinner tonight at The Galleon and it was excellent. The chicken bites as a starter and the chicken as a main meal for my wife and i had the fillet with roesti and a sticky toffee pudding for desert. Everthing was cooked...

Absolutely the best met the owner and he spoke with us and was so nice! Best restaurant in town hands down, when we come back we will make a visit

If the mark of a great lunch is that you return - three days later - then this is great wee find of a restaurant. We loved the whitebait and the lobster. Both really sweet and succulent. The soup was ace - thick and fresh....

The best dining experience on Mull by a country mile, a simple menu of fresh local produce and some great specials - I would give my right arm for the recipe for the Cod with mussels !! The perfect end to a very special week...

Lovely food Saturday night was busy but little wait for food Good value for money also did some great non alcoholic cocktails- this is such a refreshing change ! As a none drinker often there is little choice but fab here ! Overall a great...

Absolutely outstanding meal in Tobermory at the Galleon. 2 of us had the special of the scallop ceviche, which was divine, the oysters were also excellent and the burrata was deliciously creamy but with a tart dressing to cut through it! The steak tatare went...

Had a amazing evening dining here. The scallop and crayfish starter was delicious and the sharing lobster was amazing. Lovely welcoming service too

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner consisting of a shared langoustine starter then two monk fish mains. Delicious. With 3 beers and one small wine our bill was just a few pounds short of £100. However we had to ask for a separate bowl for discarded...

First class food. The starters were fantastic, the lamb was delicious and they kindly served it with potatoes instead of risotto for me. My wife's vegetarian strudel was a treat. The staff were all helpful and friendly. We enjoyed it so much we have booked...

Outstanding meal, fresh food great service nice atmosphere. We visited for my boyfriends 30th birthday as a party of 4. Wonderful meal best steak we have ever eaten and the seafood was so fresh. Can’t wait to return

The most wonderful welcoming experience! Fabulous hosts, food to die for 🤤 So good we came back twice! Highly recommended!

Delicious, delightful, delectable. Okay, I don’t write reviews as a rule but sometimes you have to make an exception. The best oysters, mussels and lobster we’ve ever tasted, so fresh and perfectly cooked, finished off with a raspberry and whisky cranachan. Several thumbs up for...

The memory of this meal will linger, by far the best food we’ve tasted in a while. Main course of pork belly was cooked perfectly and our milk chocolate mousses with honeycomb were divine. Small restaurant, unobtrusive service and decently priced. I’ll recommend to anyone...

Surprises are rare enough, but turning the corner into the Galleon brought us the best one yet. Noticing we were cold and in need of some TLC chef Martin treated us to bowl of delicious leek and potato soup. The recipe should be patented. His...

Having eaten all over the world, this was some of the best food we have ever eaten. The small restaurant is cosy and smart and although the food is first class, it doesn’t feel stuffy at all. The haggis scotch egg starter is a must...

My husband and I had an amazing meal at The Galleon on Tuesday. We had langoustines to start and then we both had fillet steak followed by treacle tart and tiramisu! Every single dish we ate was absolutely incredible. The flavours were out of this...

Had a great 3 course meal,the service was very efficient without long waits between the different courses,the menu wasn’t that big and the Lobster dish was down to half a lobster at 7pm,but I then chose Ardnamurchan fillet steak which I must say was cooked...

Best meal of our trip to Mull, and for some time. Highly recommended. Service was personalised and friendly. Young children made very welcome. Thank you.

We had an excellent dinner at this restaurant which offered food of a quality we did not expect to find in Tobermory. The fresh seafood was very good (we had langoustines, lobster and tuna between us) and our shared desert (Scottish raspberry tart) was also...

We went twice in the week as it is so good. Both times seafood, scallops and lobster the best ever, fantastic raspberry tart. It serves meat and fish equally, and the steak we had previously was superb. One good reason to come to Mull.

Delicious meal in lovely surroundings. My husband had the lamb whilst I had the fillet steak, both were excellent, tasted wonderful and I managed to eat a full meal (which I’ve been unable to do for a long time). We had deserts of raspberry tart...

Four of us dined in Galleon on Saturday evening and it was absolutely faultless. Everything on the menu was exciting and I liked the touch of showing where all the produce was sourced from. We tried the oysters, scallops, langoustines with potted crab, three sirloin...

Nous nous sommes rendus hier dans ce restaurant en suivant les avis trouvés sur ce site. Nous avions réservé pour...

Food was exceptional. Beautifully presented, quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. Service top class. Martin and Elaine are so friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

The best restaurant in Tobermory Isle of Mull excellent contemporary and innovative cuisine great flavours and textures. If you a foodie this is the place to dine. Sticky toffee pudding is to die for.

We have just had the best lunch. 11 of us in total (4 adults and 7 kids)! The food was so fresh and flavours were amazing and the service (even with our lot being “a bit wild”) was so calm and friendly. Thank you Elaine...

We are visiting Mull on holiday. Our dinner at Galleon Bistro was as good as any meal we have had at Michelin Star restaurants elsewhere. The food was to die for from the steak tartare starter to the Cod main course. It was all wonderful...

We used to go here quite often when it was the Galleon Grill and went for the 1st time since it changed last week, and WOW the food was fantastic!! Every course was fresh and tasty, the portion sizes were just right and the menu...

Meal was excellent. We were the last group they squeezed in. As a result some of the choices were no longer available but it didn’t distract from the quality of the evening

They had a cancellation and it was a stroke of luck for us. The dinner was terrific and service matched it. We had prawns, oysters and langoustines plus the lamb. All very fresh and delicious. Loved the finger bowls for the shellfish.

What an interesting space. Tables and high bar stool counters provide an elegant dining environment. Elaine was lovely out front with the lads at the hot bit serving up wholesome grub. Uncomplicated menu focussing on local and seasonal stuff; good wine list, local beers and...

We were fortunate enough to visit Tobermory on Thursday the 15th June and chanced upon this amazing restaurant. The Lobster MacnCheese and the mussels were both fabulous dishes. Great experience with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Every dish was creatively and beautifully presented, and delicious!! Honestly, I would come back to Tobermory just to eat here again. It’s a family run restaurant. The owners are extremely friendly and passionate about providing a really special night out for their patrons. Thank you...

Went for lunch having read hf the service, we won; be backe reviews here on Trip Advisor. Food was pleasant but no exceptional. Service was poor and we felt like we where an inconvenience. As a result of the service, we won't be back

Mixed feelings. The food was excellent. Outstanding liver pate.Fresh halibut and salmon prepared in extraordinary ways.Downside was the service . Short and formal welcome.Finger bowl and even fork only upon request. Rather unprofessional.

Very delicious dinner. Oysters slight different from those served in Mishdish, slightly sweeter. King prawn very nice. Rib eye the right firmness and good flavour (? Aged). Cook Martin said to have worked years in a famous hotel in SE Asia. No wonder cooking is...

Booked the galleon, absolutely fantastic meal. 2 house cocktails, oysters, shared a langoustine starter, fillet steak, and half a lobster. Cooked to perfection, absolutely delicious. Couldn't fault it. Waitress was great, chef was great. Id recommend this place to anybody.

Superb food and service. The prawn starter was excellent and the cod main was huge, beautifully cooked and came with a really tasty mussel veloute. A first class meal.

Came here by myself for a bougie lunch. Absolutely fantastic food and drink, and really warm service from the owners. Would come back in a flash. Mussels and oysters were outstanding.

What a wonderfully talented chef, in the heart of Tobermory. We ate here on 3 occasions during our recent stay - the food was imaginative and truly spectacular. Attention to detail, great ambience and good music. We tried it all, locally sourced fish, steaks, cocktails...

What a find! We’ve been visiting the Hebrides for 17 years and have tried many restaurants and cafes in that time. After a disappointing seafood dinner elsewhere earlier in the week we’d decided we were spoilt.. but we saw the sign at the end of...

Booked a week in advance as it was a Saturday night and Tobermory hotels were booked solid. We had scallops, lobster and salmon which were all excellent. This was probably the best meal we had in Scotland and we ate at 3 Michelin recommended restaurants...

Fantastic meal in a lovely small restaurant. Best lobster I’ve ever had. Very reasonably priced for the quality.

We had one of the best dinners of our entire two week trip round the Scottish Isles at this very welcoming and cozy restaurant. The fish pate was delicious but the halibut was out of this world! Absolutely amazing. Good wine list and very friendly...

We managed to get in for lunch on our last day after being told two days in a row they were completely full at dinner time. It was worth the wait, we had six exquisite oysters to start (I’ve never tasted fresher) and then the...

I last visited this venue in 2019. The menu and quality of food have been transformed. It was an excellent two course meal (beef and cheese board) with wine. Produce was local.

We wanted a nice dining experience, heard good things - unfortunately, this wasn't what I was expecting, food was okay, expensive for what it was - around £70 a head including drinks and three courses. I don't mind paying, but want food and experience to...
