The Gallery Cafe in Argyll & Bute

Stopped in for a pumpkin spice latte and cake. Gorgeous. The Gallery is a fantastic space and the girls were lovely.

The most mouthwatering burger I have EVER had and my husband's panini was delicious. The staff were very welcoming and the setting was lovely. Set in a converted chapel with lovely artwork (which was for sale), it was both wheelchair accessible and our dog, Reggie was also welcomed. I asked for a sauage on the side of my meal for the dog, but the staff put it in a separate bowl, cut into small pieces & cooled which was so helpful. I would highly recommend this place if your visiting Mull.

Great Food reasonably priced Good selection of wine and beers Fantastic live music from the Tob Cats featuring Sunny Jim and Ian on vocals. The Highlight was Sophie McMillan exquisite rendition of Skyfall

Sticky dirty tables, ‘wiped’ with a filthy cloth when asked to clean, tables not cleared, staff seem completely disinterested in their roles, toilets awful. The whole place needs a deep clean and staff trained…so much lost potential for what could be a lovely cafe in a tourist area.

Tout simplement à fuir. On s'est arrêté dans cette jolie église pour prendre le goûter : un capuccino et un bout de gâteau. On a attendu presque 40 minutes pour être servis, sachant que j'ai dû aller voir 3 fois le comptoir pour voir où cela en était. C'était l'enfer, les serveuses désagréables au possible et c'était meme pas bon. Le seul endroit désastreux de notre séjour en Ecosse était ici.

£72 for four paninis with soup, a hot chocolate and two coffees. Maybe I'm living in the 90's but it felt like we were viewed as a cash cow.

Lazy staff on their phones rather than cleaning tables. Food disgusting. Toilets dirty. Rags used to wipe tables when requested were nothing short of bacteria factories. Had a bad stomach after eating here despite leaving most of the food. Avoid avoid avoid!!!

Dirty, tables not cleaned , inattentive staff. Avoid if you can . Not a pleasant experience in what is a touris honeypot.

Could be great with some effort. Coffee slopped in saucer, passion sponge cake 'heavy', tables full of used stuff (one had 4 order numbers on it), staff disinterested and litter and weeds all the way around. I've actually never written a bad review before. I just think that with effort and intention, this could have been great.

Very little choice of cakes, scones etc.

We arrived at this cafe to meet daughter and son in law with their toddler . We waited almost an hour for food by this time toddler was upset and hungry. Staff young and inexperienced seemed to have lost the order? Told we had to wait as a few orders in front of us, when we suggested we should be brought forward due to our long wait they seemed very confused! We cancelled part of the order as we had to get ferry, they nearly credited the wrong card and refused to give us free coffees as an apology!! Avoid - it spoiled an otherwise great day!

Coffees were rubbish, the iced latte tasted like water. I wasnt expecting it to taste like a costa or starbucks but that was taking the piss! ive made nicer ones with instant coffee at home! Service is horrendous too, the young lass who was serving was rude and spoke so quietly you could hardly understand what she was saying. Drinks came quick enough at least. Building is ok, furniture is worn and tatty but about what you'd expect for a church turned cafe.

Sehr zäher Bestellvorgang, Seafoodchowder mit mehr Kartoffeln als Seafood, Salat voll mit Erde/ Sand, Burger ok. Tische draußen mit Blick auf den Hafen sehr schön

All the servers look to be students and noone is in charge. The food too some time to arrive around 30 mins for 2 toasties.. the young girl on the till point looked really bored and didn't smile. The building was.impressive but the atmosphere was lackluster with no music or really any good vibes. Next time I'll go to one of the busier pubs.

Good food but the visit was spoilt by temporary young inexperienced staff who needed more training

Delicious pastries in beautiful surroundings

Decent food but a limited menu. We had the chowder which was very tasty.

Food was poor and over priced.. We had burger and chips the burger was cremated. The Bun was hard! Chips cold. Staff serving very pleasant. I wouldn't eat here again, I would visit for a drink only!

Good place for a snack or light lunch.

Service was terrible, staff training required. Felt like we were inconveniencing them by our presence.

Overpriced and poor quality overall. It’s like they don’t need to try giving a quality experience as the tourists will just keep pouring in. Our salad was old, we could tell by the nasty slimy leaves. A $20 (Australian Dollars) deserves more than supermarket sliced bread. A bit of cleaning around the place wouldn’t go astray either. And for god sake teach the staff how to present themselves when working with food and don’t carry drinks by the tops of the drinking vessels where we drink from. Lift your game. You have a wonderful space that could be something special. At best it is ordinary as it stands and you can do better if you want to charge top dollar, or top pound.

The best Cafe in Tobermory...fresh,local food,nice people!!!

I was very disappointed with this restaurant. I ordered the spicy veg burger, it was pretty bland, tasted like it was reheated via a microwave. My son got a baked potato that was partially cooked. Service was very slow, we were also given the wrong menus upon being seated. One of the servers walked around with his headphones in and didn't really seem to know what to do.

Friendly people working and a beautiful setting in an old church. The food was lacking flavour, could do better. The puppy by counter was a highlight.

We ordered a breakfast bun and a filled bagel, the egg was hard, the bread roll was stale however the bagel was good. Train your staff and watch your reviews rise, maybe aim for excellence instead of mediocrity. Partners review : Ordered a breakfast bun with egg and a potato scone. On attempting to tackle my breakfast with vigour, (after an enthusiastic and hunger-inducing 4km walk to the lighthouse and back), I was left disappointed. The bun, I imagined had sat lonely for a long time, forgotten in the dark recesses of the bread bin. By the time it was fished out, bought into the light and topped with a hard egg, it was a pitiful, stale offering. Never before have I found myself feeling sorry for my food!

Called for breakfast as my friend and myself did last year. Young girl aboutv16 behind the counter along with another girl I believe to be older. I wanted a breakfast in on a plate as normal but all I was offered was individual items ie bacon bread roll black pudding. I asked fo haggis and beans but they did not have beans or mushrooms. Each item was £1.00. I could not get my head round that they could not call it a breakfast but just a roll with these items . A few minutes later the meals appeared without the haggis. They looked bewildered when I asked whete the haggis was. The egg must have been fried ages ago as the yoke had gone hard. Eventually after 90% of the meal had been eaten the haggis appeared. 2 pieces when I only asked for one. I think the two staff want a lesson in customer services as I was not impressed and certainly will not be returning.

Service not good. As tourists made us feel most unwelcome.

We sat outside and enjoyed our coffee and lunch whilst watching the active life of this wonderful place

This is a good informal lunch place, you can sit outside at the front of this converted church, overlooking the bay. Food was good and quick, service friendly.

Well located on the seafront at Tobermory and in a converted church, we enjoyed breakfast here before heading further afield around the island. Good food and friendly staff.

Nice and clean staff worked very hard toilets were nice nice big freindly space

Breakfast here is a bit poor, the sausages and bacon seem to be deep fried. Service is polite but a very slow. It's also cold, I can imagine they don't heat it because it would cost a fortune being such a large space.

Lovely spot for lunch. Attentive staff. Popped in with 2 small kids as a family of 4. Youngest is dairy free and gluten free which was brilliantly catered for and adaptions made. Relaxed atmosphere, welcoming of families and a lovely building.

Not going to say anything about the glorious glass. Work,, find out for yourself 🙂

Great service and nice food arrived promptly even though they were busy and short staffed

A very special place that impressed me especially through the church window. However, I also liked the fact that there was WiFi. ;)

Food was very bland , watery and tasteless, reminded us of a school canteen , service was very long. ÎAnd very expensive for what we got ! Would not go there again , would prefer a quick snack outside

Lovely food with great Staff in a delightful place 😀

Had to wait a long time for a sandwich and soup which were absolutely appalling. The soup was watery and tasteless and reminded me of what you would get in a hospital and the sandwich was made with the cheapest and thinnest ham and industrial slices of cheese . What a disgrace !

What lovely little spot for lunch.We sat outside on a glorious day and enjoyed the spectacular view. Service was very friendly, had a lovely sandwich and an ice cold cider. No pressure to rush our drinks . The building is beautifully converted church and toilets were modern and clean. Lots of bowls of water for dogs were also available

Obwohl wir keine Reservierung hatten für das Abendessen (wir waren erst eine Stunde vorher mit der Fähre in Tobermory angekommen und wollten nicht im Hotel essen) und das Restaurant sehr gut besucht war, wurde es möglich gemacht vom sehr freundlichen Personal, dass wir einen Tisch hatten. Das Dinner war qualitativ hochwertig und sehr lecker. Die Atmosphäre im Restaurant aufgrund der Räumlichkeiten und des guten Service zum Wohlfühlen. Auf unserer 10tägigen Rundreise durch Schottland eines des besten Restaurants die wir besucht haben.

Nice place but food lacked favour. I had the dish of the day, pasta with tomato sauce, sausage and bacon which reminded me of bad student cooking. Service was friendly and it was nice to sit outside in the sun.

Lovely cafe in beautiful building. The coffee was really good quality. Two vegan cakes to choose from! The biscoff cake was delicious. Staff are helpful and cheery.

Very expensive for what you get

Good option for breakfast in Tobermory. Nice staff and delicious pancakes. It's not exactly cheap. The restaurant is located in a former church and has something special about it.

Poor customer service and offering. Staff appear to have no clue about their own menu or who ordered what. My food was dry and poor quality.

Really not great. The service from the lady in glasses was just rude. She didn't have time to respond to our hello, she asked if we were eating, we replied we were not and she removed the paper menus and left. She then went to talk to her friends at another table for 5 minutes, whilst her younger colleagues struggled to keep up with orders and table clearing. Overall the place feels unloved, cheap and just surviving off the location and tourism.

Awesome place to grab a coffee and a sarnie. The smoked salmon sandwich was lovely and the cheeseboard gave a great selection (could have a couple more oak cakes though) Service was friendly and efficient, the cafe is kept very clean and tidy. Great Cafe, great food, great staff!

Old church turned into a gallery/teashop.

Food very poor and service mediocre by inexperienced staff. 1 bowl of soup, very basic sandwich on unappetizing bread, 1 tea and coffee, over £20! The décoré is lovely in a converted church.

We arrived just after lunch with our pooch, very attentive staff towards us and our dog. Cullen Skink was amazing and just the job after a soaking!

Vey nice place to stop and have a coffee and a bit of cake. Staff very welcoming drinks and food good. Lovel view of the Tobermory harbour

I’d love to write a proper review of this cafe, but as they had decided to shut down an hour before the advertised closing time on a Sunday I can’t really tell you what it was like. Very frustrating when a venue advertises being open until 1700, but refuses service after 1600,well, takeaway drinks only were offered, but I fancied a wee sit down and some cake, but it was all tidied away and nothing was available.

So if order something as complex as 2 coffees and 2 slices of cake and are happy to wait half an hour while everyone who comes in after you get served, perfect place. Obviously I assume you are happy to find, despite being given a table number, when you go and ask they’ve forgotten your order!

A great new addition to the dinning in Tobermory. The family have made a great location to eat in. Good food and very friendly. Dog friendly too they made a big fuss if our giant German Shep

We nipped in to avoid the rain and grabbed some drinks. Lovely, friendly staff and quick service. Food options are available. The building is beautiful.

Good lunch menu. Staff are very pleasant. Recommended.

Interesting place. Friendly staff. Quite disappointed of the ratio between quality of the food and what you actually pay. Burger buns seems to come from factories: we expect them to be homemade for this price range. Fries seemed to be frozen.

Went there for lunch. Positives: dog friendly and good coffee. It stops here. I ordered a vegan wrap with couscous which did not come with couscous and it came with coleslaw that is NOT vegan?! Quite overpriced for the food served. Waiters did not seem to care. The music is so loud in there too, it made the whole meal quite uncomfortable. I do not recommend and would not come back again! It was all so disappointing!

It's ok. Service was slow to non existent from the only lady working the floor. Bless her, she was very polite and had the whole facility to herself while 3 other staff hid in the kitchen/back room and didn't lend a hand to anything else. Food was meh. Honestly, I won't be back.

Why would you keep customers waiting in a queue for a table when there is hardly anyone there ? Well that’s what happened to us, then we waited ages for a menu,,, once our order was placed it arrived quickly which would indicate that there is an issue with not enough waiting staff on the floor. Other customers (there were 10) did not get their orders taken in order of arrival so some had to wait ages for their turn. This restaurant used to be very good unfortunately now the food is not very high standard, there is often not much available ie chocolate cake or chocolate cake & The soup is very watery. The fish was ok but a bit dry & small. Chips etc were great and loads of them. The restaurant lacks atmosphere and is very cold as the doors are always left open ! It’s a huge space to deal with but used to be interesting with the retail items on display throughout the eating area. Hopefully things will all improve as Tobermory needs more places for coffee and cake. Just get people seated quickly, served quickly and you will sell more food and drinks.

Excellent friendly staff and a fine lunch spot

We stopped here whilst waiting for our coach to return us to the ferry so didn’t have a lot of time and only wanted 2 teas and a coffee. The waiter was very friendly and very polite but very inefficient. After we noticed one or two others who had arrived after us getting served before us, we politely reminded him we hadn’t received our drinks yet. He apologised and said ‘they’ were rushed off their feet - not true imo, having worked in a restaurant which seated 400 per night I know what rushed off your feet really means. Just before we enquired about our order, three staff were loitering behind the counter talking to each other, not a sign of being rushed off your feet. A waitress then appeared to take our order! We advised we had ordered and shortly afterwards our drinks arrived. The drinks were quite nice but we nearly fell through the floor when we saw the price of the tea - £4.00 per cup! The coffee was only £2.30, usually tea is less than coffee in the UK. Also, the comment someone else made about the tables was true, all the unreserved tables were covered in sticky drink marks and crumbs.

Happened to notice these guys were open in the evening for cocktails and canapés, cocktails were fabulous and canapés were plentiful, delicious AND free!!! Amazing!

Very interesting place and people

Do not go if you want survive. I had a food poisoning after a sandwich with mayo. Thank you

The place looks nice and the people working in it are trying their best. But the food was average and overpriced, I had a food poisoning from it. Hope they will improve but it's a no go for me.

I ate here twice, the first time had a really nice Italian first stew and the second time a burger. The stew was great, really well cooked. The burger was pretty poor with the patty overcooked and the bun very dry. The price of the meals are too high for the quality received.

Excellent converted church setting with a gorgeous selection of vegan food too. The wonderful staff were very friendly and catered for our every need. The food really was delicious. Definitely the best choice for food whilst in Tobermory. I think I actually left a review for "The Galleon Bistro" recently but it was meant to be "The Gallery Restaurant"!! We definitely ate in the church and not the bistro next door but they left a kind reply so I can't delete it... 😊 It's good to promote all businesses like this in an island community.

Wij vonden het fantastisch. Lekker eten en drinken, ook voor de vegetariers, vriendelijke staff en goeie muziek. Als het druk...

This is really to give a huge shout out to the delightful young man who served our family today. Happy to make recommendations (and was proved correct) and tried hard to help my son get the right drink. My mussels were fantastic as well! Thank...

Beste restaurant op onze reis in het UK tot nu toe.... Toffe inrichting, leuke muziek( de hele playlist van onze...

Lovely surroundings. An old church with stained glass windows. Was really busy lunch but the wait was not too long and well worth it. The food was lovely, fish and chips and the other half had a Parma ham and fig salad. Will return again...

Very pleasant Restaurant. Small selection of dishes on menu in each category but varied, Portions very nice, well cooked well presented. Staff friendly. Comfy seating with a variety.

Really overpriced but basic food (£9 for a salmon sandwich), had to clear our own table, service is slow and they forgot our drinks. A side from the staff who are nice-ish, this place is a bit of a waste of money. Would recommend you...

I do not expect to be seen straight away, but I do believe in common courtesy. You can be busy, but it takes little to acknowledge customers One of the ladies behind the counter had to say to the gentleman waiter to go and see...

My sister and I had a number of meals and snacks at The Gallery, which is in a former church, during our recent 10-day stay in Tobermory. We were greeted every time by the wonderful Sam. The food is excellent, all the staff are friendly...

The most friendly people..with amazing food. Highly recommend place to eat on the island. Many thanks to the manager for all his help following our car breakdown. Our sanctuary in tobermorry.

We just wanted a quick bite to eat. Had a tuna sandwich which was ok. Nothing fancy which I did not expect anyway. Friendly staff, ok prices for Tobermory i guess. I liked the old church chairs and benches that were used.

I’m sure this was or could be a great place with great food but it is filthy dirty. Stuck to the table when I put my arms down and as for the toilets. Needs a damn good clean.

Big disappointment, and I rarely post negative reviews. The superb location (old church) attracted us, so the two of us went back for a coffee and a slice of cake from the window. We wait a little while at the "wait to be seated" sign, then another moment at the table, with very unfriendly staff who take our order. A group of 15 bikers return AFTER us. After 25 minutes of waiting, knowing that apart from us and the bikers the few people present had already been served, my friend went to ask politely at the counter if they had not forgotten us, and was told in an extremely unpleasant manner that They decided to do the bikers' order first, so we just have to wait or they can cancel our order. In short, 30 minutes wasted, no coffee or anything, we ended up leaving. A café restaurant which seems to rest on its laurels and the beauty of the place, and which forgets the minimum of politeness. Go somewhere else.

The most beautiful building inside. Food is excellent and the staff are super friendly. this is a must.

Had lunch here yesterday and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was very tasty and the prices very reasonable too. The servers were doing a good job under pressure but we most certainly will be back when next on Mull. This place apparently used to...

Great sea front location with outdoor seating, some with shade. Got quite busy around 5pm. We had coffee and cake but they do food as well. Menu out front. Lovely staff. Two things let the place down. Service was really quite slow as everything was...

Was a very small for 2. Antipasta 22 pounds. Only 2 small chunks of cheese each. 2 salami and 2 Parma ham each. No butter for the part baked bread. Lovely location

Ate here 27th May, 4 of us . Extremely nice staff, lovely quirky church, nice food choice and very lovely attentive service. Would highly recommend eating here.

Nice food served in a pleasant laid back atmosphere. The pasta with courgettes and sun-dried tomatoes was delicious.

This was our last night on Mull and the meal was the most memorable by far, as it was so poor. On arrival we were told there were no langoustines, as the boats had not been out. This was not true as other restaurants were...

Delicious food and very reasonable prices. We really enjoyed the sharing platter of meats and cheeses and the Italian fish stew. The squid and the sea bass were perfectly cooked. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

We had a dinner and whisky tasting here in a big group. Michelle Devlin from the Tobermory Whisky Den could persuade anyone to enjoy whisky and gave really clear descriptions of the whisky’s we tried. The dinner was delicious and the staff cleverly mapped where...

Great views. Sat outside for a few wines and lunch. Burgers nice and Camembert cheese was gorgeous. Servers run off their feet the manager needs to rethink.

The coffee was so good and the location was sooo lovely! The soup was also really tasty

The place is really nice, both for lunch or for a cute coffee date. Coffee is really good, and the soup I had for lunch (carrot and ginger) was absolutely delicious.

Staff were lovely and friendly and the service was quick - but we ordered bacon sandwiches to eat outside on a sunny but chilly October morning... and the sandwiches were cold they’d obviously been made the day before which was their style, but we all felt a breakfast roll needs to be warm! I have been here before and we deduced a similar conclusion: stunning views, really friendly and lovely staff but not great food.

Very Covid conscious and great coffee and cake. The old church blends well to a real good atmosphere for chat and chow!

After day on a boat and in the sun/wind this was perfect for a cool airy space to enjoy a pot of tea.

Called in for soup, coffee and cake in the pouring rain. The food was delicious and the members of staff were lovely, making us feel very welcomed from the pouring rain.

What Tobermory doesn’t do well is breakfast. After walking around we had to settle on this cafe as there was no where else to eat in on the harbour front. The coffee and tea was great and the staff were lovely but the breakfast sandwiches were abysmal. Cold bacon that was very fatty and (heaped) margarine instead of butter. I’m not sure who made these sandwiches but they should stop. Missing a very easy and cheap trick here. Free WiFi and great social distancing.

Found this gem of a coffee shop by accident in a converted church on the harbour at Tobermory. Brilliant and dedicated young staff, coffee and home made cakes delicious. They just wanted to offer people a good experience-hadn’t been open long (Covid) and confess they will be happy to break even. They deserve all the success they can get. Dog friendly too - our two were photographed and Instagrammed as ‘dogs of the day’ in Tobermory. Lovely experience-go if you can. What a change from indifference in the South!

Nece place to go to when Tobermory is busy with us tourists. Nice tea and scones and nice little shop inside too.
