We visited the Galmisdale Bay Cafe a number of times during our week on Eigg - Staff were really friendly, and the food and drink on offer was always great. Would recommend for breakfast, lunch and dinner - as well as coffee and cake when you get chance! Views over the bay are amazing too.

Echoing what many here have said, we found the staff, the sweeping view and the food -- breakfast and afternoon tea as well as dinner -- just wonderful. You can't go wrong with the fish and chips or the sweet, tender mussels. The cafe sits front and center on the harbor waterfront, a short walk from the ferry pier, a public service to all comers on this island full of spirit and beauty but few amenities. Feis Eige, a traditional music festival was going on when we were there, and the visiting musicians played around the table, a treat for us diners. (They also gave traditional music classes and with when we there. Next to the cafe is a small market for provisioners and a brand new wash house with showers for the many campers and sailors who visit. But what we most appreciated and want to highlight is the cafe staff. When a bundle of cash accidently slipped out of my wallet in the bath house -- it was all we had for a two-month trip -- the staff found me and returned it. And when CalMac, the ferry service everyone relies on to go anywhere off-island, abruptly cancelled Eigg passengers to accommodate a cruise ship in Mallaig, the staff outdid themselves helping stranded passengers. This is what makes Eigg and its people special in the world. Never change!

When we were here it was very busy due to a music festival. Despite this the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. Try the locally brewed beer it's great! Amazing views are a great plus.Vegetarian options: Vegan soups, burgers and plenty of choiceKid-friendliness: Very welcoming to children and dogs.

Stopped in after a nice walk. Had an amazing homemade beef burger and coleslaw and Eigg IPA. They also put it into take away boxes because we were nervous about our ferry. Great place, great staff, great food, great island

We sailed to Eigg and ended up having breakfast, lunch and late lunch here - We just couldn't stay away! Great food with veggie and vegan options. Lovely cakes. Great service. And just stunning location, especially in the blazing sun with a terrace looking South to Ardnamurchan peninsula. Or you could get the same view from inside. Great that they served alcohol too. Just a shame it shut about 5pm.

What a delightful cafe with stunning views. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. We ate here when we first arrived on our 4 day stay, and returned for dinner one evening. The service is great and service quick. A lovely environment to sit and have a meal or a spot of lunch. The only slight downside for us was dogs moving freely around the cafe and they were a pest, sitting beside us looking for us to give them food. The dog owners didn?t pay attention to this or call their dogs back. Not everyone likes dogs. Otherwise it was a lovely environment to sit in and gaze out the large windows.

The community are doing a good trying to improve the facilities on the island. Making good progress, with a little more time of stable post covid trading they'll be in a good place.

The Galmisdale cafe is such a gift for anyone visiting / staying on Eigg. Delicious seafood (the mussels could not have been fresher and more succulent), and all the dishes are great value. Be sure to check out the shop as well. An excellent selection of produce, baked goods (arrive fresh on Thursdays) and anything you will need for your stay on Eigg.
