Ninth Wave Restaurant is an award-winning fine dining restaurant dedicated to lovers of great sea food, comfortable surroundings, good wine and is rapidly gaining a reputation as a destination restaurant. Opened in 2009, The Ninth Wave was shortlisted as a finalist in the Taste of Scotland category of the Scottish Thistle Awards 2010, has been featured in the Scottish Fields magazine and is 5 star rated and recommended on TripAdvisor as the place to eat on Mull! if you like fine dining and seafood. We are extraordinarily lucky to have this super seafood restaurant right on our door step and we have dined at The Ninth Wave and can't recommend it highly enough for seafood fine dining when eating out in Fionnphort.

 

 

Husband and wife team John and Carla Lamont invite you to explore the menu, which changes daily to allow them to serve fresh  ingredients sourced from local fishermen’s catches, and crofter’s bounty. Lobster, crab and langoustine, hand-dived scallops and fish are often caught only hours before appearing on your dinner plate. John, a genuine Scottish fisherman himself, will not only catch your crab and lobster dinner on his traditional small fishing boat, will don his kilt and be your waiter and wine steward for the evening.

 

 

Situated on the scenic Isle of Mull, renowned for its rich waters and abundant wildlife, The Ninth Wave lies on a traditional croft brimming with wild meadowsweet, thyme and sorrel, where you are welcome to dine in the sumptuous comfort of a lovingly renovated, 200 year old crofter’s bothy. A must if you like fine seafood.

The restaurant takes its name from Celtic Mythology, in which the “ land of other-worldly delights” lies beyond the ninth wave.

This spirit is reflected in both chef Carla’s eclectic style of cuisine and in an ethos where luxury meets sustainability. Local, and organic produce are showcased whenever possible: World famous Ardalanish Highland Beef, local Lamb, and award winning Sgriob-ruadh cheeses to name a few. Everything  from decadent handmade chocolates to fresh baked bread, from chutneys and bramble marmalade to tarragon vinegar and black elderflower sorbet is made fresh in our kitchen. Produce such as herbs, peas, potatoes, squash and salad greens are grown in our croft garden.

 

 

 

Carla combines the vibrant influences of her native West Coast Canada and the very best of Scottish ingredients with passion and flair. House specialties such as Lobster in Nettle Ravioli and  warm Smoked Crab Cheesecake await you as you follow the  track that winds towards the pink granite outcrops of local landmark Tor Mor. The Ninth Wave does not cater for special dietary requirements.

 

At Ninth Wave, Carla & John believe in promoting a relaxed, intimate dining experience, allowing time in between courses to chat to John about local or the provenance of their ingredients. Or just to sit back and enjoy an excellent glass of organic wine. Afterwards toddle back to your accommodation at Seaview B and B for a good nights rest after a top quality eating experience!.

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.
