Eating Out

Fionnphort

The Keel Row (pub)

has a restaurant open 6 - 9pm (last orders 8pm), serving good pub food. No advance booking, but you can give your name at the bar on arrival and wait until your table is called. In summer it can get very busy, so it's better to go early to avoid a long wait. In winter the restaurant is closed, and opening hours are generally shorter. Bar meals usually available when the restaurant is closed. Tel: (01681) 700458
