Ate here whilst staying for 3 nights in Tobermory, and it was the best meal we ate. Filling, tasty, well cooked and presented. Recommended.

We ate here two nights in a row in early August. The menu changed each night so there were new things to try. We gelt some of the food, such as the starters, were over priced for the portion (£8.50 for two small croquettes) but they were delicious. However, the slices of cake we got for pudding were easily big enough for two (the picture shows two half slices on one plate) and each only £6.50. The cakes and puddings we had were all top notch A*** (esp choc ganache) so worth coming in just for coffee and cake even if you don't have a meal. We booked in advance via WhatsApp for 6pm dinner: Wed night it was quiet but the Thursday was heaving so glad we booked. The food we had was c. £20 for a main course and was really well made and delicious. Portions aren't huge but were sufficient. There isn't a kids menu so the first night we shared two meals between the three of us and had pudding, but the second night we had a main each. The Island Cafe is cheaper than the Coll Hotel and has a nice home made, welcoming feel to it with local art and two linked rooms, one with sofas and tables and the other just tables. The serving staff were nice young people. My partner also had coffee and cake here and the cakes really are very good (I hear the Chelsea buns are to die for too) and my coffee-snob partner says this is the best coffee available on Coll.

We came to Tobermory on a very wet day on an organised tour. We were looking for somewhere to get a hot drink. Everywhere was full due to the weather. After a walk around we noticed a table was now vacant and my husband sat down. I went to the counter to order a cappuccino and a hot chocolate where it was chaotic. No hello or greeting just told how much they wanted from me. My hot chocolate was very lumpy with powdery bits all at the bottom of the cup. I paid cash and was given no receipt. Dreary interior. Left feeling like a nuisance and when saying goodbye no response. My husband and I got the same treatment from other places in Tobermory and other people we were with said this place doesn’t like tourists. Well fair enough we will never ever visit again. Good luck just serve the locals and don’t dare be polite as looking at reviews you get a robust response.

A chef who knows how to balance their flavours and does it well. Innovative dishes that surprise and please. Front of house staff that care and are knowledgable (and know when to go and ask when they don’t). What’s not to love! Two minutes from Oban centre is no excuse not to go!

We stayed for three nights at the Pennyghael Inn while we explored the Isle of Mull and visited Iona. It was promoted as being open for food all day, but we discovered on arrival that breakfast had to be pre-ordered and was just tea and toast. There was no restaurant service before 5pm and no one available at the inn during the day. Our room was only serviced one day which was also disappointing

Very good toastie. But limited choice as all that was on the menu were toasties. We asked for glasses for our drinks and got told they had run out of glasses even though there was 6 other people in the cafe. Would recommend though for a light lunch.
