Eating out in Fionnphort- Snack Bar at the Pier, locally known as the Kiosk

The "Kiosk" as it is known locally is handily located at the top of Fionnphort pier with grand views to the Sound of Iona and the Iona Abbey near  to the bus stop and public toilets. It is open most days of the year 9.30-4.00 and is a meeting place for locals and tourists alike, where locals can have a "craic" in the tearoom and tourists can have a snack while waiting for the Iona Ferry, Staffa Boats or the Craignure Bus enjoying the local craic.

 

 

 

 

It is ably run by Marion who serves reasonably priced fresh hot and cold snacks, and will make up fresh sandwiches to order. There is also a small range of groceries and Sunday newspapers can be obtained on a Sunday. Even on cold wet windy days in winter there is a bright light where you can get shelter and a cup of tea or coffee and a wee chat with Marion while waiting for a bus or boat. The all year round eating out in Fionnphort venue!

 

 

 

A good place for the tourist to pick up on local information or have a chat with the local folk. The Kiosk and Marion have been serving Fionnphort and its travelers for many a long year and it is a well known favourite destination for the local folks and provides a great alternative to the Creel if seafood is not for you. Only a few minutes from Seaview bed and breakfast with grand views of Iona and its Abbey.
