Isle Of Lewis Restaurants

We booked a table (it seems to be very busy on Fridays and Saturdays so book in advance) for our first night in Gairloch. Parking in the lower car park next to the pub was challenging (understatement, there was no room at all, the locals watched on with bemusement as tried a couple of less than optimal very tight spaces, we didn't know there was another car park), later a local told us it is much easier to park in the car park on the left before you get to the bottom and walk down to the pub. The service was cheerful and attentive, but certainly the best part was the food and drinks. Yummy Cullen Skink and Fish and Chips were the highlights, the Chilean Sauv Blanc was delicious too and paired great with the fish. Two starters, share a main and a large glass of wine came to a very reasonable £40. We would certainly go back.

The food here was incredible. The wine menu was also great which has been difficult to find whilst travelling the North Coast 500. In terms of value, the dishes are expensive but I would say worth it due to the quality and taste of the food. Only improvement suggestion would be to the ambience, it could be made more cosy and warm but don’t let this deter you. It is not a place to be missed.

Great experience, the service was great and the food was excellent. We struggled to find places to eat while staying on Skye and stumbled upon the Skye Restaurant who had openings for reservations. Im glad we did because the food was fantastic and the ambience was great for a small intimate dinner. It’s on the pricier side but fitting for the quality of food and the location. Well worth the money. Now knowing where this restaurant is, we will definitely be back in the future and will look at staying at this hotel.
