Peatzeria

About

Peatzeria is a modern‑style Italian bistro perched in the heart of Bowmore on the island of Islay, overlooking the shimmering waters of Loch Indal. Set inside a historic Episcopalian church built in 1903, the restaurant blends contemporary décor with island heritage, offering both indoor and open‑air seating, including a terrace pod that provides panoramic sea views. The menu is a celebration of authentic Italian cuisine – from handmade pizzas crafted with locally sourced Islay ingredients such as lobster, scallops and bradan roast, to classic pasta dishes and a selection of vegan options. With friendly, attentive service and generous portions at a mid‑range price point, Peatzeria has become a favourite among locals and visitors alike, especially when reservations are made in advance to secure a spot during peak periods. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner for two, a family outing, or a venue for a special event, Peatzeria’s blend of quality food, welcoming atmosphere, and stunning views delivers an experience that stands out across Islay and beyond.
