The Old Post Office & Lochbuie Larder in Argyll & Bute

Amazing food, beautiful setting and fantastic service. Gluten free as vegan options available. Highly recommend!!!

After a lovely drive we arrived at The Old Post Office on Mull. The sun was shining and made it perfect spot for lunch. We sat outside on bench’s just a few steps from beach. We ordered inside and the food was soon bought out to us. Homemade mushroom soup with a cheese scone. Delicious. My husband had a toastie which was tasty. The Post Office also sells supplies like milk. There is parking but got very busy as we had our lunch.

Well worth a visit. Food is amazing and service is too. Don’t forget to visit the beautiful church close to the Old Post Office

Hidden Gem on shores of Lochbuie Exceptional lunch Highly recommend mushroom soup & savoury scone, one of best lunches ever had!

Amazing location overlooking the loch. Had a fabulous lunch, nice and simple but very well done. I had a cheese and ham toastie and my wife had quiche. Both were excellent. Off the beaten track but well worth making the effort. And don’t forget to walk to Laggan beach as well, it’s magical.

It's great that this small cafe exists in what is close to the middle of nowhere in Mull terms - we've been coming for years, every time we visit Mull. It's a great facility, and I marvel that it survives. My one gripe on this visit was the venison burger - I love venison, but it's a very dry meat, and needs added fat when you make a burger. Unfortunately, it had none so the very compressed meat had the texture of thick cardboard and no taste. Add some fat, and don't squash it! ... then I'm sure it will be delicious! My wife's langoustines were excellent.

What a lovely find so worth the journey. Great little set up with stunning views, a must do as part of your break in Mull. Helpful and welcoming staff. Lovely food and drinks. Gorgeous little church 1 min walk away to have a look in. And beach area to walk on as well.

Local honest food cooked to a high standard by Nick and Melissa … and with a view to behold. Excellent mussels and great venison burger with onion jam - and wonderful baking. If I like the background playlist in a restaurant I always ask for it and this is the first time it was immediately available and shared - thank you. It made the visit all the more enjoyable. We will be back frequently.

Such a beautiful spot. The food is delicious and all homemade. Chilled vibe. Small camping area. Close to laggan sands. I can't fault a single thing about it. A must do on Mull.

Following the wedding ceremony on the beach our small group sat in the sun and had a perfect lunch at The Old Post Office. Our food was absolutely delicious and the staff were delightful. Thank you.

Great cake and coffee, excellent service with friendly and welcoming staff. A stunning location, with fantastic views of Loch Buie and surrounding area 😍😎

Long narrow road to get here but very worthwhile. The 'new' old post office is really nice, the two ladies running it were very friendly and both the cakes and scones were made onsite and were delicious. Even the price was very reasonable!

I called in at The Old Post Office with two older children, on our way back from visiting Iona. We had mussels, a venison burger, sausage roll, drinks and coffees, I cannot fault anything we had or the amazing service. We also booked for a nights camping, it was raining and very windy and were staying in a tent, the lady in the restaurant was extremely busy but took time out to show us a sheltered spot and was more than helpful. We returned the next morning to have breakfast. We walked to the standing stones and the castle and found this 24 hours enjoyable and memorable. I cannot thank them enough for the positive help they gave me.

What a great little cafe and such friendly staff in the middle of nowhere at the end of the road at Lochbuie. Delightful Cakes and snacks. Lovely tea and coffee and the opportunity to buy a gift or two. This great location is very picturesque, if you are going in Setpe / Oct wrap up the sea breeze is a wee bit on teh chilly side, There are also lovely short walks out for this location too - Parking is a little tight and for about 10 cars. The Hosts were so very personable 5* from us

The Old Post Office is simply brilliant. The setting is inspiring sea and crashing waves, mountains and a castle. Now the cafe is warm and inviting and the food matches the setting ,spectacular, mussels, cake coffee etc etc it's brilliant. We'll worth the trip down the very impressive scenic road.

Lovely ambience to the cafe, girls very friendly and the food is great, in fact went a couple of times . Cake and coffee with a truly lovely view.

A definite must to visit if you are on the Isle of Mull. The drive to it is through some glorious scenery and the venue itself is set on a beautiful coastal area of Mull. The food was delicious and we even took some with us to eat later for our evening meal. Our original plan was to walk to Moy Castle after our lunch but on the day we visited it was far too windy so we took a few pictures of the surrounding area and sadly left, but we would happily go back on future visits to Mull.

steve smith Local Guide·14 reviews·4 photos just now NEW £20–30 Really upsetting visit today. We have been before and always look forward to visiting. However today the staff were more interested in pandering to the needs of a party of 7, very rude, people who they had no seats available for as they were all taken. After twice asking a French woman and her children if they could move, we were asked to move tables. We were sat eating and drinking but instead of moving a table to the side of the table vacated by the French family, we were asked to move. So we picked up our bags, coats, food, drinks and all our produce purchased from the shop and we were placed near the serving area. As I said, this is a lovely cafe which we always patronise, but that was rude today especially given the rudeness of the entitled party of 7. We have visited before when there were no tables and it was tough. But for the man in the kitchen money was a motivation I think, even though we had spent as much, proportionally. But at least the middle class rudeness got them what they wanted, they didn't even thank us for moving. Not even the offer of a free coffee.

What a delight this was. Wonderful drive with fantastic scenery all the way. Great walks to Moy Castle, the stone circle and the beaches too. Good car parking and outside seating. The food…oh my goodness! Absolute heaven. We had mussels, trout and salmon salad and the open steak sandwich. Great portions, fantastic food, even though they were incredibly busy. Went back after our walk for tea and cake, huge slices from a impressive homemade selection and sat outside in the sun to have them. Superb lunch, thank you

Wonderful location, we managed to spot seals ! Food from The Old Post Office was delicious and the ladies that served us/prepared the food were very friendly and kind! Would definitely revisit when next on Mull!

Delicious salmon and haddock salad, soups with mouth-watering cheese scones that kept us toasty on a chilly day and some yummy chocolate brownies. My partner and I stayed nearby the Old Post Office for two days as we travelled with our van and made the most of it. Very much enjoyed all the fresh meals and cakes, cooked from local ingredients and with a sprinkle of love! And as it was beach clean-up day, we even got a cappuccino with a cake in return for a bag full of rubbish. Thank you, we’ll be back for sure!

What a wonderful place. Fabulous location, well off the main road but definitely worth it. Perfect to sit outside on a nice day. Fabulous food. We had quiche and salad and it was wonderful, as well as a cake and cheese scone. Will definitely will be back soon.

What a hidden gem! Well worth the trek down to it. On arrival there is plenty of parking, stunning scenery and delicious food served with a smile. Not at all what we were expecting in the middle of nowhere. Brilliant!!

We were lured inside by the novelty of the scones and were sorry that we hadn’t realised (before packing a picnic for lunch) that such a lovely cafe was located right on the beach front. Interesting local meats in the freezer and Scottish cider for sale.

after driving around loch na keal we were looking for a cafe for a drink.we saw the sign on the main road for this place and decided to check it out,eventually reached it at the end of the road in a stunning location looking out over the loch with a castle just round the corner.all the cakes looked fabulous,we both had to have one with our drinks,coffee was great as was the hot chocolate.the lunches looked good aswell.great spot to stop,we'll be back for sure.

Bit of a trek to find it but it kept us warm and well fed on a cold, windy and rainy Scottish day! We both had the soup which was tasty, we had a bit of food envy with other dishes coming out though. Wished we had a freezer for the well priced freezer food. It's not an old, cosy cafe, it looks modern but considering the location. I was happy to have that view with my coffee!

Good food lovely staff nice view and very readable priced. Had to wait a while for a table as irs only small

Came highly recommended from someone on the mainland - travelled over to Iona and decided to stop on the way back. Great host - Nick - ably assisted. Food was great - we stopped initially for breakfast and then, on Nick's advice we took a walk to Moy castle and back - and then had lunch. Its worth making the trip for the food and ambiance alone.

We stayed here overnight, in our motorhome. It was stunning!!!! Couldn't get more remote! Ate in The Old Post Office which was lovely. Then, when the next morning our van wouldn't start the ladies in the shop we're AMAZING!! We couldn't have got moving again...

Worth the drive, great location with lovely views. The food was all fresh made from scratch, with vegetarian and gluten free options. My sister had the locally farmed mussels and has not stopped talking about them since! Totally exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended.

Lovely place. Dreadful welcome. Man serving made us feel like an inconvenience. Would avoid it in future

Really good coffee and tray bakes in a great location Also carries a range of locally sourced ready meals for easy cooking

You must follow the signs, you won't be dissapointed. Amazing place overlooking Loch Buie. Gorgeous cakes and coffees. Lunches, frozen meals, take aways just a selection , available from the larder. A place just to sit and enjoy life.

Cozy cafe selling local food, take away frozen meals and local gifts (pictures etc). We had the langoustines which were great, also available was a salmon plate, mussels and a few other things. Cakes are fabulous. We also bought a couple of frozen fish pies...

Interesting, great tasting home cooked food, in an idyllic spot with stunning views. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Perfect stop.

Our first visit since refurbishment and opening as a cafe and we were not disappointed. I had a Tobermory smoked salmon nicoise salad and my partner one of the two quiche salads on offer. Both were delicious, the salads well dressed and very fresh. All...

Worth the drive to such a beautiful location for coffee and cake. Parked our campervan and enjoyed a walk before having quiche, salad, coffee and cake. All delicious and homemade. Friendly staff. Also a little shop selling gifts and produce, ready meals and cold drinks....

For it's compact size, this café sure packs a punch. Flora looked after us and was friendly and welcoming. We had the freshest local langoustines and mussels, as well as a delicious bacon quiche, which had buttery flaky pastry. The baking is also impressive, the...

Arrived on Mull and made this straight from the ferry at Craignure - a superb and scenic drive on a road that was deserted. Of course the weather played a massive part by being a barny 21 degrees!! but Lochbuie beech and the Post Office...

Lochbuie is in any case in a world of its own, so it should be no surprise to find a little restaurant/tearoom here which is amazing and ‘out of this world’. Local produce (so very few food miles!) a warm welcome and all round brilliant....

This place is a gem of a find. We enjoyed wonderful lacal mussels and homebakes. The victoria sandwich cake was super.

This is in a wonderful position offering very welcome good quality refreshments. We had planned to get a few gluten-free frozen meals but they were out of stock though the very helpful young man managed to find one venison casserole in the back freezer. We...

The Old Post Office Cafe is set in an absolutely stunning location. Perfect for coffee/lunch/tea - or all three. And the pre prepared meals are fantastic for any holiday cottages - local produce - delicious - and many gluten free and diary free too. Love...

I can highly recommend Loch Buie Larder meals. They are good portions, very tasty, and ideal when on holiday when cooking may not be a priority.

We stopped off here after catching the early morning ferry to Mull. We were driving around exploring before we could get into our holiday cottage, Unfortunately the torrential rain drove us to fins a spot for a hot drink. We drove the wiggly road down...

We stayed in our campervan but The Old Post Office makes this corner of Mull home. Breakfast muffins, great coffee and wonderful cakes (whilst they last), also a larder to restock your fridge. Make a visit to this great corner of the island.

What an incredible spot for lunch! Delicious food (we had the veggie chilli and the mussels) and we bought some ready meals to take back to our self catering accommodation which were also divine. The drive down was gorgeous. Highly recommend.

Delicious cake- iced gingerbread was fresh moist and so so tangy ( too strong for my husband who is not a ginger aficionado!). Scones were fresh and tasty too. Only disappointment was having tea/coffee served in paper cups - despite sitting inside. Surely nice china...

A very small cafe with limited seating inside, which also sells take-out food and drink. The glass walled interior gives stunning views of the bay. A small menu of lunch food and a good range of amazing cakes. Our venison casserole and cake were both...

Lunch from 1230, cakes, scones all home made and lovely tea and coffee . Toilets for customers. Take away home cooked food also. Lovely views across the bay and was lucky enough to observe an eagle fly over the cafe. Check it is open believe...

It’s a long, scenic road but it’s a lovely wee find at the end! Great views, lovely coffee and a good selection of cakes awaits you!

Like anywhere on Mull - it takes a while to drive anywhere - but it is ALWAYS so worth it. The view, the home cooked food & cakes were all incredible

Food and coffee was excellent, and the location is stunning. However the service from one of the owners was frosty (the other owner was pleasant though). My partner and I were both spoken to rudely and I think they need to work on their customer...

The food was so good we didn’t go for a walk until we had lunch as we didn’t want them to run out! What a find, food was great and was the coffee The crab tart is off the scale as was the soup and...
