Ok - the important part -- the food! I started off with a delicious, light and very fresh crab salad, which was served with a lightly dressed microgreen salad -- absolutely delicious! I could have licked the plate. My husband had the Cullen Skink, and said it was one of the better bowls he had on our trip. We split the Cod for dinner, and it was heavenly - beautifully seared, which perfectly cooked vegetables; the cod melted in our mouths like butter. We each had some ice cream for dessert, which was a light, sweet finish to a truly lovely meal. Make your reservations early!

Food: I ordered their haloumi fries two days in a row! There were so so good! They come with a sweet chili sauce. Not many gluten-free options. I did have the quinoa salad and it did not disappoint! The piratish/sea decor might lead you to think there is lots of seafood- but not so many options. For seafood go right outside to the shack- affordable platters and mussels galore. This restaurant is more of a pub with Scottish/english options. They even have curry.

Great dinner - amazing location…read more We were staying in one of the self-catering apartments of this Hotel. Location is great - just sitting at the lovely and quiet Loch Awe. The first night we were a bit tired from the drive and didn't feel like cooking, so we visited the restaurant. It's nice and bright with great views of the Loch. Service was very friendly. We had the Goat's Cheese Salad (Grilled Goat's cheese served with roasted peppers, salad leaves, soda bread and raspberry balsamic dressing) and the Haggis Bon Bons (Crispy Haggis balls set on roasted tomato and chili chutney served with salad garnish) for a starter. Both equally good, but especially the Bon Bons were a pleasant surprise, good tasting Haggis! For the mains we had the Salmon with veggies and potatoes (daily special) and the Traditional Fish & Chips (haddock served in a beer batter served with chunky chips, peas and Tartar sauce). Both fish tasted very fresh and tender. Hot and crispy chips. With that we had a bottle of White wine, a Sauvignon Blanc Panul from the Lontué Valley, Chile. Fresh, fruity and crisp. Just 18£. We really had a great dinner. Good, fresh food for very fair prices, especially given the fantastic location. If you just come for dinner without staying here, the way back on the one-way street might be a bit dark. Luckily our way home was just a few steps :)

I had the fish and chips, which having tried the same dish over at the Geographer, I can't say they're the best in town, but it is a good gluten free option for those who need it. The fresh vegetables were also nice. We were seated upstairs in the restaurant but ordered draft beers from the bar downstairs. The restaurant waitresses regularly make the trek up and down to serve patrons, and I was very impressed by their speed and stamina. I was also impressed by the seating arrangement in the restaurant--it was a pretty efficient use of space while still feeing quite cozy.

They have a wide selection, much of which is on display and the rest on menu boards. It's prepared promptly and served to you on a tray - they even brought it to my table for me. As for the food quality, much of it is homemade, always impressive in such a remote town even during tourist season. The haddock chowder was a bit thin and lacked substantial fish bits, but I did cheat at the end and added some coffee cream and that enhanced it greatly. Mull mussels were on special and I was compelled to eat the island. I actually got a lot of mussels for my money, all delicious, and I drank the garlic wine sauce at the end. There are a couple of other places on the island with food. The smaller stores sold out by 4 pm, the only competitor to Martyrs is a hotel that felt hoity from the outside. I heartily recommend you choose the Bay for eating on Iona, and in fact I do recommend you grab a bite here before boarding a vessel off the island. The island deserves your pounds and Martyrs will make you glad you spent them.

But the service and food more than made up for it. We had a cheery and efficient server bring our drinks right over as we perused the menu. I ended up ordering the Fish Pie, and this was honestly one of the best dishes I ate in Scotland & Ireland on my 16-day vacation. It was described as white fish, smoked fish, and salmon, topped with mashed potatoes and cheese. Like a Shephard's Pie, but with fish. The flavor was incredible, and I loved that there were actually fish pieces in it instead of it being served all mushed up. Served with a side of veggies. I had to split it with my companion, because while her Salmon Fish Cakes were good, they were no Fish Pie. We were too stuffed for dessert, although they had a lot of baked goods available that looked very tempting. If you are in the area, I highly recommend a visit.
