The Isle of Mull is particularly fortunate in the number and range of good quality restaurants serving marvellous locally sourced food, particularly seafood. In addition to our own excellent restaurant at The Bellachroy there are four splendid eating establishments within easy distance. We have eaten at all of these and can personally recommend them. Here are our fabulous four.
Ballygowan
http://ballygownmull.co.uk/
Ulva Ferry, 7 miles from the Bellachroy.
Open from 1730hrs Tuesday to Sunday. Closed Monday.
This restaurant is run from a private house with just 4 tables, so you may have to share. Feels cosy and intimate. Usually 3 or 4 dishes on the menu all cooked to a very high standard. Home cooking par excellance. Unlicensed so bring your own drink.
The Boathouse
Ulva, 12 miles from the Bellachroy.
Open for lunch Monday to Friday 1200hrs to 1600hrs & Sundays June, July and August. Closed Saturdays.
A simple restaurant sometimes described as a cafe serving seafood in a stunning location on the Isle of Ulva, 5 minutes by ferry from Ulva Ferry. Sit outside for magnificent views across Loch na Keal to Ben More. Seafood does not come any fresher or better than this. Reasonably priced.
Am Birlinn

3 miles from the Bellachroy on the road to Calgary
Open Wednesday to Sunday 1200hrs to 1430hrs & 1700hrs to 2100hrs. Closed Monday & Tuesdays.
Comfortable restaurant run by friendly husband and wife team. Extensive menu with a continental influence. The most sophisticated of our four. Whatever your choice from the menu you won’t be disappointed.
Hebridean Lodge
http://www.hebrideanlodge.co.uk/
Open Monday to Friday from 1830hrs. Closed weekends.
Small but spacious restaurant. All the food is cooked by Helen the proprietor. Its all fresh, local and perfectly cooked.
