About Us

Cafe' Fish is run and owned by sisters Carolyn and Lindsay McDonald. Both were brought up on the shores of the famous Loch Fyne in the fishing village of Tarbert in Kintyre. Much
of their working lives were spent in the catering trade in the family run Anchor Hotel preparing dishes using local seafood since the early 80's. Now based in another Argyll fishing community, Tobermory on the island of Mull, they have just recently opened Cafe' Fish. The Cafe' restaurant sits at the end of the pier with terrific views over Tobermory bay to Calve island and beyond from its dining terrace and offers an amazing selection of fresh seafood dishes straight from the sea.

“We have our own boat so shellfish is landed daily, local boats land us monkfish, dover sole, cod and squid. Our oysters come from Croig, mussels from Inverlussa and our salad leaves, herbs and tomatoes are picked daily and supplied from Glengorm Gardens - all on the island. Our wines come from Tm Robertson in Edinburgh and are hand picked by ourselves and Jason
(and sampled thoroughly)  Lonely Planet have recommended
us as one of their top 5 restaurants to eat in Scotland. 
The “Specials” board changes daily depending what the sea throws up to us.

As much as possible we use fresh natural ingredients and bake our own bread, scones and shortbread. Our fish is mostly served  simply seasoned and grilled, with a wedge of lemon. We don't believe in hiding the flavour with sauces. 
“Fresh produce, simple cooking, fabulous flavour”.
