Very good breakfast

This is a nice place located on the outskirts of Ullapool.
We almost drove past it because the building is not very noticeable.
But behind the facade is a beautiful and multifunctional business.
As well as a restaurant and hotel, Ceilidh Place is also a pub, bookshop, wedding and concert hall and art gallery.

We ate a delicious breakfast in the beautiful cozy dining room, a hot vegan British breakfast (ask to leave out the egg) and a very tasty Toasted sourdough with avocado, vegan feta, roast tomato and dukkah herbs.
Friendly service, the waitress suggested vegan butter instead of dairy butter, nice that we didn't have to ask for it ourselves.
Too bad it was the last day of our stay in Ullapool, we definitely want to come back here on a later trip.

Pros: Cosy atmosphere - Friendly staff, Good price/quality ratio, Tasty vegan dishes

make a reservation in advance!

It's difficult to get a table at Ceilidh Place if you're in Ullapool during high season, so definitely book a table a few days in advance if you want to visit it. We ordered fried cauliflower wings as a starter which were delicious. The main course was a risotto which tasted fine, but I'm not much of a risotto lover. They also offered one vegan dessert option, which in our case was a chocolate orange semi-freddo, but I didn't order it as I don't like orange with chocolate. The atmosphere in the restaurant was nice and the service quick, but the prices were definitely on the higher side.

Pros: Good food, Good and friendly service

Cons: a bit expensive

Nice place for lunch

There weren't many vegan options on the menu when we visited, but the atmosphere is nice and the staff are very friendly so we stayed for a quick lunch. I got a baked sweet potato with some delicious fenell-y coleslaw! Very tasty, and pretty healthy for a pub meal. Felt a wee bit overpriced for a baked potato, but not enough to prevent me going back again if I'm in the area.

Interesting vegan options

The menu had a couple of vegan options, we had the saffron orzo and beetroot hummus. The food was well presented but portions could have been larger for the price and the food wasn’t as tasty as it might have been. Service was friendly and very quick

Pros: Interesting dishes, Good service

Cons: Expensive for what you got , Food a bit bland

Friendly staff. Multiple options

Pulled jackfruit flatbread is great. Vegan burger is an onion bhaji (really yummy). Toasted Tofu and avacdo toast that we didn't try.
Staff were really nice about vegan options. Even had vegan desert, they said they would normally have vegan cakes too, but none the day we visited. Definitely recommend.

Pros: Lots of options, Lovely staff

Cons: No cake on the day we visited :(

Gave me a pig soup

I really wanted to love this place. And I was so excited about the vegan menu they gave me. And after seeing the soup of the day was vegan (there were two) my partner and I ordered one of each. The split pea soup arrived and we started to eat it, about half way through my partner pointed out that it seems there was meat near the bottom of the bowl.
We checked with our waitress who reassured us she’d checked with the chef and it was vegan for sure. I then showed her the bits of dead animal in the soup, and she went back to recheck. And the chefs confirmed they’d actually put HAM IN THE VEGAN SOUP!
They took it off our bill and were very apologetic, but as someone who hasn’t eaten a corpse for over 15 years I’m still very upset by it. (As is my stomach, which is not reacting well to having pig in it).
So yes. They’ve tried. But it seems they’re just another Omni joint trying to capitalize on the vegan ‘trend’ atm.

Pros: Vegan menu

Cons: Put ham in my vegan soup!!!!!

Très bon et veg friendly

La carte spécifie les plats végétariens et vegan et d'autres plats peuvent être adaptés pour convenir aux vegan. Le dessert vegan au chocolat était excellent. Personnel très sympathique.

Pros: Possibilité d'adapter certains plats pour vegan

Cons: Seulement deux plats végétariens sur la carte

Gnocchi nicht vegan

Sehr nettes Personal. Gnocchi leider nicht vegan, auch ohne den Parmesan nicht.
Burger kann veganisiert werden. Ich hatte Dhal mit Reis (9,50 GBP) und einen großen gemischten Salat (7GBP) sehr lecker

Vegan Gnocchi

Wir haben spontan für den gleichen Abend gebucht und hatten noch einen Tisch bekommen. Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Ich wählte ein vegetarisches Menü (die Gnocchi), jedoch ohne Käse. Dies wurde berücksichtigt und somit konnte ich sogar vegan essen. Den Ceilidh Place kann ich wirklich weiterempfehlen.

We have spontaneously booked a table for the same evening and got a table. The staff was very attentive and friendly. I chose a vegetarian meal (Gnocchi) but without cheese. This was respected without any problem and I could even eat vegan there😄I can really recommend the Ceilidh Place!

Pros: Friendly Staff, Vegan option
