Gille Brighde in Highland

Absolutely loved this place. A very warm welcome to me and my two dogs and the finest hand dived scallops I’ve ever had in my life. A bit of a drive to get there, but what a location - stunningly beautiful and peaceful. I will definitely be back when I return to this part of the world. Thank you

Quite simply wonderful delightful owners, staff and food sublime Lovely range of beautifully cooked home made meals, all with an unusual little gift of herbs and a special sprinkling of love and care Highly recommend Xx

This is a perfect local spot in an outstanding setting at the end of the narrow local road, nearly “at the end of the world”. We had a booking at 19.30, so, normally, we would be the last occupants of our table up to the kitchen closing time (20.00). On that very rainy evening, we arrived about 50 minutes earlier, so almost all tables were still empty. Thus, we thought we would have an extra 50 minutes at our table to sit and enjoy our dinner. The dinner was indeed superb, with fresh and well-cooked seafood. The scallops with black pudding were exceptional. To our big surprise, the waiter gently asked us to leave the table, although it had been booked for 19.30 up to normally the closing time. I suppose this happened because we got there earlier than scheduled, but this did not make any meaning because when we arrived the restaurant was almost empty, and we could spend all our booked time. I didn't want to spoil our good mood with further argument, and we left insulted by their behavior.

Amazing meal in a fantastic setting. Such friendly staff and locally sourced and beautifully cooked food. Couldn’t rate it more highly.

A truly idyllic spot by the sea ideal for dinner with great views of the harbour. Friendly owner and food excellent. Nearby Skye ales and excellent scallops and a good sticky toffee pud for dessert. Stop at the viewpoint on the drive back to Torridon-stunning.

C’est notre deuxième expérience dans ce lieu. Excellent petit restaurant au bout du monde. Non seulement l’endroit est exceptionnel, mais la cuisine y est également d’excellente tenue. Les coquilles St Jacques et la venaison étaient parfaits. Le tout pour des prix raisonnables (pour l’Ecosse…).

Dit is een must-visit! Alleen al de weg ernaar toe is fenomenaal mooi! Wij zaten buiten op het terras terwijl binnen een lokale muziekgroep aan het spelen was. Heel lekkere burger gegeten, vegetarisch falafel en de beste fishburger met potje zelfgemaakte tartaar erbij. Als afsluiter een geweldige sticky cake met custard en chocolade brownie gebak!

Outstanding food and drink all locally sourced and unique. A warm welcome and personalised service. Gluten free options available. All in a tranquil and beautiful setting.

Friendly welcome, delicious food, perfect setting following a hair-raising drive over the pass to get to Diabeg. Can highly recommend the venison steak and the aubergine curry.

Great food and a stunning location. Be warned give yourself plenty of time to get there e.g. 30mins from Torridon as the road is very very twisty but stunning views. Unfortunately, they have really ramped up their prices this year. We have been going for years. But £95 for essentially a two course meal for two with only one drink each (sodawater and blackcurrent) is just WAY too expensive. We shared a starter of scallops for one. We each had a main of venison which while very tasty was quite tough and the chief would have known that as it comes sliced. We also shared a chocolate desert for one. So one starter, two mains and one desert and two softdrinks was £95. We won't be back without checking the prices.

Utterly outstanding fresh food and brilliant friendly service. An utter joy. Fresh fish, langoustines, hake, scallops. All perfect. The single track road, with passing places, from Torridon may be a challenge for some or their vehicles.

We visited Gille Brighde for dinner. Wow - what a fabulous experience! Everything just superb! Friendly, welcoming team. Fab n=menu and the food is outstanding. Fantastic experience, great atmosphere, value for money. Diabaig is gorgeous, - simply breath-taking. Unforgettable drive to get here but worth every mile! What a memorable evening. Highly recommended. Thanks to the team at Gille Brighde.

We had lunch at the Gille Brighde yesterday 4th May 2024 dog friendly, what a great experience, very friendly owner and friendly and helpful staff brilliant fresh sea food, well worth a visit if your in the area, we look forward to going again in the near future. Nick & Julie Mellor

My wife and I recently spent three days around Torridon and the Applecross peninsular. We had some lovely meals at the usual suspects, but will remember the supper we had here for a long time. Beautiful cooking in a simple, calm, no fuss atmosphere. Thoroughly recommended, just drive carefully...

This is a little gem and the trip over is worth the effort. Really quaint setting on edge of the loch - food local produce done with a twist - really lovely.

Just exceptional. Fabulous hosts, stunning location in the later summer with sun setting and glass of bubbly before dinner. Amazing food finished off with a bit of Raasay whisky. Cannot fault. Oh. Only downside we’re going home tomorrow or we’d be tempted for a second visit! We’ll just have to come back!!!! Thank you

What an amazing dining experience beautifully presented with wonderful hosts - a real hidden gem and well worth the drive

We are staying in a cottage close to one of the local hotels in Torridon which would have been the obvious place for a meal out, however, almost half the entries in the guest book at the cottage mention the excellent food at Gille Brighde, so we thought we would try it out. We were not disappointed - excellent food with mostly local ingredients, friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. The drive there is 'interesting', so not one for nervous drivers, but if you like steep, twisty and challenging drives you should be fine

Amanda and Aart are completely dedicated to providing the complete experience.. stunning location, carefully sourced ingredient, thoughtful use of local, seasonal and totally tasty food. On a warm summer's day sitting on the terrace enjoying the food and company..what more could you wish for!

The food was spectacular, including delicious haddock chowder, the best scotch egg we had ever tasted, and two different venison dishes - not to mention the justifiably "famous" sticky toffee pudding. The location is beautiful, the hosts very welcoming, and the atmosphere friendly and relaxed. It's a small restaurant and busy despite its remote location, so make a reservation - it's more than worth the journey.

We had made reservartions for dinner, based on our Torridon B&B host's strong recommendation. It's a tiny place, with few tables and very popular, so pre-booking is a good idea. The drive to Lower Diabiag along a narrow single track road is a roller coaster with great views, and the meal a fitting end to the adventure. We ordered both vegetarian choices on the menu - the samosa haggis and veg curry - both good. The sticky toffee pudding desert was delicious.

This is such a fablulous restaurant. The food, the service and the welcome are excellent. It is well worth the fantastic trip from Torridon over the mountain pass. This our second vist (we came on holiday here two years ago) so we'd booked well ahead of time. It did not disappoint. They even arranged glorious weather!! Do come.

Excellent restaurant in a perfect location. We visited three times in one week and the food was excellent every time. All the staff are really friendly and helpful and could not have been more helpful. My advice whether you have the venison or scallops save yourself for Aart's sticky toffee pudding. Make sure you book as its a nine mile drive from Torridon to a dead end only to find its full but well worth the trip. Enjoy

Petit restaurant au bout du monde (la route est rigolote, couchers de soleil incroyable garanti). Repas sans prétention mais délicieuse et service attentionné. Mention spéciale pour la soupe de haddock !! Desserts indispensables ! (sticky toffee pudding, et cranachan) Could you deliver to France, please ? Merci pour ce moment (réservation hautement conseillée, peu de place)

Amazing little Gem of a place. Read reviews before we went. Booked to avoid disappointment. Staff are attentive. The food is incredible. We had the Brie and vegetable mezze to share then scallops and panko fish and chips for mains. I've never had scollops so good. The drive is not for the faint hearted but well worth it for the scenery. Definitely would recommend.

Absolutely fabulous restaurant. If I lived within 50 miles I'd eat here every month! Definitely worth making thee trip. If you don't know Daibaig, it is spectacularly beautiful. The smoked fish platter was perfect. I've never tasted such delicious smoked mussels and the sweet cured Orkney herring was exquisite.

We’d previously been for a coffee after coming across the place on a day out from Inverness so we’re looking forward to coming back for lunch, and we were not disappointed. The food and service were fantastic

We only came here based on the reviews. It was everything everyone says and more. The food is amazing, the ambience is relaxed and friendly, Aart is a great host and Amanda should be on Great British Menu. The Cullen skink was amazing and the...

This is a wonderfully quirky restaurant, which is extremely welcoming and serves really great grub! Thank you, Amanda and Aart, for our second very happy experience at your restaurant. It is SO worth the drive across the mountain pass to get to you - in...

Exceptional food in a beautiful location. Excellent service, great food selection and good atmosphere. Highly recommend!

We stay in Torridon every year and always make a point of eating here during our stay as it's only a 20/30 minute drive away and a very stunning drive at that! We visited twice this year and both visits were superb. Food is great...

This is a little gem of a restaurant so good we went three times during our week stay at The Torridon Hotel. The road to get there is a little challenging but just take it slow and enjoy the views. Once there the food is...

Uncomplicated fresh food in abundance, cooked and served by the friendly owners of this small, spotlessly clean rural restaurant. Stunning journey across the heather covered hills on a single track road to this small fishing hamlet.

If you are brave enough to undertake the amazing and challenging drive to this isolated village clinging to the edge of Scotland, you will be rewarded with the most delicious food! Absolutely delicious and well worth the hairpin bends!

Four of us drove from Gairloch to come here for lunch and we were not disappointed. The drive was amazing, the views spectacular and the restaurant perfect in every way. We had a mixture of starters, all of which surpassed our expectations and the Cullen...

We have eaten four times at Gille Brighde over the last 8 days. Every meal was wonderful! Aart & Amabda are so welcoming, the restaurant has a warmth to it, and the food is utterly delicious. Lots of local ingredients cooked with care. There is...

Road to Lower Diabaig is amazing, single track with passing spaces and switch backs where you can't see what is coming the other way but views are amazing and Lowe Diabaig is straight out of Local Hero an amazing place! To work up an appetite...

We was recommended this place from friends and it did not disappoint. Had the chicken pie and it was delicious..the puddings were fantastic..amanda was really welcoming and friendly. Can't wait to go back ...oh and the drive through the Torridons was stunning.

Delicious food in an exceptional location. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Truly a very special place. Food was fantastic (seafood platters, scallops, venison, chocolate torte) and then after our meal we were treated to a pod of dolphins putting on a show in the bay!

The drive there was fantastic and well enjoyed by the kids, don’t understand what the fuss is about we did it in an extra long wheelbase Mercedes sprinter with ease. The scenery is beautiful and the food excellent, we went for seafood but I would...

Lovely little hidden gem of a restaurant and a stunning location to go with it. Extensive menu. I had the seafood platter and the pear and ginger crumble, both were delicious and excellent value for money. My partner had the chicken pot pie and the...

Half an hour from Torridon is Lower Diabaig, the road is very winding and at times very narrow but the drive is worth it. The views are amazing and then you come to the village - I say village, a few houses, no shop but...

Lovely little restaurant in a beautiful village. The menu isn't huge or fancy but they do great food and the service is fantastic.

Fortunate to book a table at Gille Brighde. Superb seafood beautifully cooked. Aart is a wonderful host and his desserts were to die for. This place is worth a detour. The drive in is not for the faint hearted!

This is a truly special restaurant. The food is locally produced and you can taste this; it’s fresh and delicious. The options on the menu are wide, with lovely homemade veggie options as well as seafood and local meat like venison. It’s amazing!!!! Aart and Amanda who run the restaurant are so warm and welcoming. And the view.... indescribably beautiful!!!! The drive there is stunning every step of the way. All I can say is go now!!!

This find made our holiday!! We were so glad to find Aart and Amanda open for business after lockdown. We ended up staying for the courses and coffee since everything about this visit was perfect (welcome, service, food, views and (on occasion) even the weather :-)

Food and service were excellent and watching the sun go down over the loch whilst eating beautifully cooked hand-dived local scallops was truly memorable. Preceded dinner with a walk along the coast (we didn't meet anyone in 4h) and a swim in the loch - recommend making a day of this lovely isolated location

We were recommended here so booked well ahead . The drive from Torridon is spectacular, we enjoyed it more than The Applecross Peninsula. Steep and bendy but not crowded and those views need to be seen ( preferably on a good day) Arrived at the beautiful Diabieg and were warmly greeted to Gille Brighde ( Oystercatcher) . We sat outside with our dogs as it was fab weather and no midges. Seafood is amazing here, however for a main i actually had a roast as it was Sunday . Everything perfect . Good choice of bottled beer to and a decent wine list . One of our favourite days of our three week trip to the Highlands. Can’t wait to return next year.

We have stopped here for coffee a few times when we have been nearby during a trip - it's a lovely place and the owners seem like really nice people, always very friendly. There is a nice seating area indoors but we usually prefer to sit outside and enjoy the view of the bay - there is an old ship wreck nearby and at the right time of year, lots of colourful shells! We haven't tried the food as we usually bring meals with us when camping, but as others have said the menu looks good and very extensive!There was hand sanitiser available and staff were wearing masks so I felt like it was pretty Covid safe, however the indoor seating is quite cosy so I would recommend sitting outside if you were very worried about it.

We popped into here following our lovely car journey from Torridon, a real road trip treat with stunning scenery. We were delighted to find it open with excellent Covid compliance which made our short visit so enjoyable. The owners are a credit to this wonderful part of the world and although we only had time for a coffee and cake, we would recommend having lunch here, as we observed at the next table a young family enjoying the treats on offer which all looked delicious.

Travelled to Gille Brighde on recommendation from friend. Did as a day road trip from East Coast. One of our best days out ever - helped by great weather. But welcome and dining experience at restaurant all made it memorable. Great drive with reward of lovely meal at the end/turning point.

Seafood was abundant on the menu at this restaurant. We opted for starters and the seafood platter. Everything was delicious and would highly recommend a visit here. The drive from Torridon was very winding and on single track roads so be prepared! This aside the menu was varied with plenty of choice.

Be sure to call ahead for reservations - you don't want to do the drive and be disappointed if you can't get a table. Food and service were both excellent. Highly recommend! Save room for dessert! Drive is a bit scary but views are fantastic and the restaurant is well worth the trip!

After a couple weeks touring the NC500 this was the perfect Sunday lunch. Tucked into a quiet out of the way bay. The drive is wonderful on a passing places single track road. Gets a bit steep and not suitable for large motorhomes or caravans. It is all about the seafood, with local fresh oak smoked selection being the real treat for us. Never had fresh smoked local mackerel before, an absolute delight. Book in advance to get a indoor table to avoid midges. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

We've been to visit a few times and this place really is something else. The location is just perfect so you're already smiling. Then, when you walk in the door you feel very welcome with just a fab couple running the show! The food has been amazing each time we've been and it's just a really really lovely experience. These people are incredibly good at what they do and I can't wait to go back again!!

We visited this evening with friends and what a delight! The scallops were the best we’ve ever tasted. The smoked mussels on the seafood platter were out of this world. Service was faultless as were the rest of our dishes. A great selection of local drinks. A little hidden gem!Thank you Gill Brighde for creating a very memorable evening!

What a drive to get there....amazing if a tad scary but soooo worth it... GLORIOUS! amazing setting perfect service fantastic food friendly atmosphere. LOVED THIS PLACE!

If your going to have your first meal out after 16 weeks of lockdown what better place than the Gille Brighde. As ever Aart and Amanda were great hosts and the food was amazing. Our 14 year old had what he called, his perfect meal of scallops followed by venison steak and finished off with a portion of Aart’s sticky toffee pudding....awesome. If you are visiting the West coast of the highlands then this little gem is well worth the stunning drive out.

We phoned to book this lovely wee restaurant where we always visit when we are in this corner of the world because it is a gem and in a stunning little bay. Because of the current difficulties we were unable to get a table but were offered a take away . Five of us with varied requirements were all delighted with the selection of starters , mains and deserts Aart provided. All really delicious .

Had Both a take away Diner and Then also lunch quality of food was fantastic- so fresh. Felt very safe given it had just opened.

Nobody would expect to find an absolutely first class restaurant in the tiny Torridon village of Diabaig , near the end of a long and winding road. Believe me, it's "vaut le voyage" as they say in the Michelin green guides. The proprietor and his wife were charming, and could not have been more helpful, I chose langoustines from a menu of locally caught seafood, and they were delicious. Followed by ice cream with fruit. My perfect meal

We have visited this little treasure numerous times now and each time the food is as good as ever.Amanda and Aart are very welcoming and create great food in a wonderful location.From scallops or venison to gorgeous cakes and puddings this is always one of our highlights to visiting the area.Even with the current situation ( masks, sanitisers, etc) they made us feel very comfortable whilst they served us.So, it’s not only the truly breathtaking drive to get you there... it’s the great food you get on arrival.A must do drive to a must try eatery on the west coast of Scotland (but I wouldn’t attempt it in anything bigger than a small camper van - single track roads, tight bends, steep inclines and, quite literally, ‘end of the road’ adventure.)We shall return, again and again and again.

Wow, fresh scallops, fresh langoustines, fantastic hosts. An absolute amazing place, worth every minute of terror of the road to get there.

Delicious food made with love and passion. in a great setting. The outside seating was perfect for social distancing and the rain shelter gave a nice shade on this sunny day. If I could, I would give it a higher rating than 5 tripadvisor dots and a star for Mr. Michelin.

On Tripadvisor this is number 1 of 3 restaurants in Torridon and to get there you have to drive 30 mins from Torridon. That tells you how far away from everything you are! The restaurant is literally at the very end of a road (from Torridon) that already had you driving on single-lane roads with passing spots. We stayed at the Torridon hotel (wonderful place) and ate here on our "night out". The restaurant is set on a small bay, right on the water, where you could imagine a few small fishing boats "hanging out". It feels a bit much to call this a village, perhaps "gathering of houses" is more descriptive. Still, it's all quite charming.I highly recommend eating early-ish - 6pm got us back to our hotel just as it was getting dark. The drive here is very pretty and if it's warm enough you can sit outside and eat, or have a drink outside and then come inside for dinner (that's what we did). Or just stop by for a drink! Be aware that opening hours are quite limited. We actually came here for a walk that basically starts outside the restaurant and heads up the road for a bit to a path that takes you along the coast heading north. There is no road along this part of the coast, and if you follow the path for 3-4 hours you get to another road that dead-ends there. Views across to Isle of Skye are very nice and even if you're not eating at this restaurant, it's a nice walk.It's a small place with perhaps half-a-dozen tables. Ofcourse food is as locally sourced as possible with a focus on the ocean right outside. I'm not much for describing what we ate other than to say the flavors were excellent, on point, "crisp", fresh - yup, yummy indeed. The couple working here are lovely and certainly add to the charm of the place. Reservations - I would highly recommend it. It's highly rated; it's small; if it's full you're 30 minutes to the next option. I think we used facebook/messenger and they were good about responding.As you can tell, we loved this cute little gem at the end of the world. Highly recommended.

My husband and I had a delightful lunch at Tigh an Eilean. My hot and cold smoked salmon was terrific; perfectly smoked at the smokehouse a stone's throw away. My husband really loved his home-made venison bangers and mash and although they sadly did not have the advertised apple crumble their crème brulée was good.Lovely setting and friendly service made this a memorable lunch stop.

Truly excellent place! We always try to visit every time we’re in the North West and it never disappoints. Beautiful setting, friendly hosts and absolutely amazing food. Just a shame it’s not open all year round.

what a superb experience- we turned up at 4 pm and Aart was so helpful- Drinks on offer and whilst we did not actually have a reservation a 5pm was promptly given- what Hospitality- Superbwe had some haggis samosa starters and home made nachos with three dips and then we both had the seafood platter- sharing sticky toffee pudding(with plenty sauce) to finish - this was all just superb and excellent value for money.we chose to sit outside in the September sunshine- what a night and no midges( the offer to move inside was there from part but we did not have to take up the offer at allI have to commend the front of house which was faultless- so personable and helpful and very attentive but not obtrusive- The food was superb and i would thoroughly recommend this cafe/restaurant- what a great place. no downsides at all on this visit and we would hope to go back there

Visited on a Sunday - they offered a set of options - i choose blue cheese salad and roast lamb. The flavours were awesome - particularly liked the apple and rowan jelly with the salad and the local lamb was very tastyThe location is spectacular but the thing that makes this place so special are the proprietors - very professional, super friendly and so helpfulWe will be back....

Excellent meal last night. Many many thanks Amanda and Art. As usual lovely atmosphere and fabulous food x

We first found this place on a drive out in March when we were over for a few days and made a note to come back during our September holiday. We were not disappointed!! This is the best meal we have had during our 2 week holiday and we have not had a single bad meal at all. Why is this the best? Well everything about it. The setting, right at the edge of the loch, stunning. The welcome, warm and friendly. A husband and wife team working together doing everything themselves. The ambience of the restaurant and most of all the delicious food. So much fish and seafood to chose from plus something for the non fish lover too. We both had scallops to start which were the best we have had over the 2 weeks. I had halibut for main which was cooked to perfection and so tasty. My husband had the venison which was so tender and flavoursome. Even the chips he had tasted like roast potatoes if that makes sense! My husband had the chocolate torte with almond brittle and amaretto chocolate sauce. WOW. Everything homemade. Even the bread. Is it any wonder they are up for an award. I do hope they win! Not everyone will know about this place but I urge you to take the long winding road from Torridon out to Diabag. It is well worth it so much so we are going back tonight for our last night of our holiday.

The restaurant was amazing , with fresh food and friendly people . The best salmon of the world:) Thank you

We were staying in the local bothy and decided to eat here one night during our stay . Oh wow. Stunning location and delicious meal. Lovely hidden gem ( hidden being the operative word !) But this is what makes this restaurant so special. We had the monkfish and cranachan which were both perfect. The Dutch host was a great personality and his wife the chef . Perfect team! We felt like we had joined an exclusive club . If we are ever back we will visit again. Remember to reserve a table as restaurant is very small but is what makes it perfect

Your evening out begins with the trip from Loch Torridon to Gille Brighde. What a route, narrow single track road with exhilarating views over the Loch! Sadly, it was rather cloudy so I could only imagine how it would look on a clear night with a glorious sunset.A warm welcome greets you at the door and then there is the difficult decision to choose from an impressive menu, all sourced in local ingredients. I'm afraid I always find it hard to look past scallops and thankfully these were available as a starter or main course option. That simplified things for me as I fancied trying the venison fillet, something I had never tried before. Both were excellent - fresh, quality ingredients, superbly cooked and presented. A good selection of wines and other drinks were available to accompany our meal. All of our table were in raptures with their food, service was excellent and the atmosphere was perfectly understated and relaxed.I had read the reviews of Giile Brighde before reserving our table and thought that this sounded the kind of place our friends would enjoy. They certainly did! Few restaurants will enjoy such a range of positive reviews - to be honest, I was anticipating that I would enjoy our visit, but have to say that this place is even better that I had expected. Food and cooking are both of the highest quality, but are very fairly priced. Food of this standard would cost considerably more in a city centre restaurant. And you don't get the scenery in a city centre!Gille Brighde is somewhere I shall eagerly return to!

Prima una strada spettacolare da Torridon, poi una ripida discesa per arrivare in un luogo meraviglioso, quindi questo ristorante, tappa veramente imperdibile. Innanzitutto la simpatia e la calorosa accoglienza del proprietario, quindi la qualità del cibo preparato dalla moglie, con tante proposte accattivanti nella semplice atmosfera di questo locale di una volta. Arrivati per caso, siamo stati veramente felici di avere avuto la possibilità di conoscere il Gille Brighde ed i loro gestori.

This was one of the best meals I've had in one of the most memorable locations. As you would expect, there is plenty of fresh seafood dishes on the menu including lobster bisque and scallops as well as the local venison and homemade sausages. Everything we ordered exceeded expectations and the relaxed atmosphere and presence of the owners made it all the more enjoyable. The wine list also had a very good selection and the only thing that I can say that I'm disappointed about is that I was too full to eat dessert (the breakfast sausages made up for it though!)

We had enjoyed the exhilarating drive to Grille Brighde and having been told that the food was excellent we anticipated an enjoyable meal. Unfortunately it was not the case. The first course of crab cakes turned out to be an indicator of what was to follow. They did not particularly taste much of crab or anything interesting. In addition two such small cakes for over £8 did not constitute good value.

Food cooked with passion and skill, I was blown away by the quality of the produce here.

The outside of the restaurant as you approach has the community defibrillator which your driver might need if they have not been there before. If there is a prize for the UKs remotest restaurant this will be in the running as it is at the end of a nine mile road which even by Scottish standards is extreme - don't go if you have doubts about your clutch. In fairness the drive back doesn't seem half as bad!

The drive is a bit hair raising, but if you have done the Applecross road, you will be fine! Setting and view are gorgeous and the food extraordinary! We come this way every year for the Shieldaig regatta and fete, but my brother-in-law recommended we try Gille Brighde after reading about it. Lucky we called at the beginning of our stay, as it took three nights before they could work in a table for 7. The wait only maximised the pleasure. I think we tried every single thing on the menu among us all - or close to it, and you couldn’t make a bad choice! Adding this to our annual visit must do list! Many thanks!

Drove the windy narrow road over from Torridon for Sunday lunch. Lovely food with great views and service. Good kids menu too. Would highly recommend

Me and my mum had a lovely dinner here one evening- very friendly and excellent food. I had the monkfish and ma had chicken with haggis - both very tasty.

You will work to get here, either by land (scary long single-track dizzying road), or by sea (from the southern shore of the loch), and the journey will be beautiful. Then you will be in the care of the owners and their small, friendly restaurant. You will choose from the blackboard, be delighted, all remarkable, even the simple salad. The berries surrounding the ice cream are from the croft up the hill. You would have paid more.

Went for a drive to visit a friends house at Rechullin. On the way back to our hotel we were hungry and wondered about going to Kinlochewe but if we turned left the dead end road went to Diabaig. A quick look on line suggested there was food available. What a great find and great scenery on route. The Gille Brighde is run by Art and Amanda. They are very friendly and have a great choice of food and drinks. We love scallops so we both had scallops with salad and bread or chips. Delicious. Followed by sticky toffee pudding. Would definitely recommend. Hard to find and no signage on the road which is a shame

Delicious meal here with friends last night. Food delicious, plenty choice and friendly and relaxed atmosphere in lovely surroundings. Note opening times- think closes from Sunday pm and opens again on Wednesday.

We came for Sunday lunch and were impressed with the owners and quality and f food presented. It was a sunny day and the drive from Torridon was exceptional.

This is restaurant is apure gem. First time we.came they were fully booked but still managed to squeeze us between customers because we were REALLY hungry. The food was so damn good we came again next day.

Nice restaurant in a tiny village serving outstanding local food. Fish was beautifully cooked ,the venison dishing with juniper was cooked very well and so tasty. Portions large .

Reservations are a must for this fabulous wee gem of a restaurant. On this visit, there were 7 of us and we ordered a range of starters to include scallops, prawn cocktail, chicken paté and smoked mackerel. Mains varied from fish to chicken and a beautifully cooked piece of Highland venison. For dessert, we had one of the best affogatos I've ever ordered with a cheeky nip of amaretto on the side. Finished off with a gorgeous sunset on the cruise home. All-round wonderful!

Well, after two years of waiting to come back for dinner, Aart and Amanda's little gem didn't disappoint. We started with scallops and a sea food platter, followed by monkfish, which was the most amazing piece of monkfish we've ever eaten. We couldn't resist sharing Aart's infamous sticky toffee pudding for afters and this was so worth it. The atmosphere here is great, and our table looked out over the sea. Diabaig is a very special place and the Gille Brighde is a must visit. Book first though otherwise you won't get in. Can't wait to come back!

I was lucky enough to eat here twice earlier this month...it was perfect on both occasions. Delicious food, delightful service, a real treat of a place! Long may it continue. Highly recommended.

Visited this small restaurant twice during our stay in Torridon.The service,atmosphere and quality of the food was superb.My wife and chose fish dishes on both occasions.The produce is all locally sourced, the fish line caught and scollops hand dived.You must visit this gem but please book in advance as they will be busy

Cut to the chase and save you a long read. Everything was flawless - from the hearty and jovial welcome, the enticing menu, well-timed service, comfortable ambience and of course excellent food. This is not the first time we have eaten here but we coaxed some discerning friends from very far away to make the journey down from Gairloch with us and I'm very happy to say that we could not have enjoyed the experience more.

Off the main beaten track, or North Coast 500 as it’s better known, head out past the village of Torridon to the end of a beautiful coastal road until you reach the small harbour community of Diabaig.The road offers astounding scenery along the way, but must be driven with care, using suitable lay-bys for photo opportunities.

I’ll start of with saying this has to be one of the best meals I have ever had ! Me and two friends came from a local hotel and were all amazed at the hospitality we received and how genuine and nice the owner really was. All three courses were aced. Was a pleasure to dine here and we were made so welcome. We will be back throughout the summer and I would 100% recommend this place !

I was so looking forward to a meal here, having enjoyed tea and great homemade cake previously. I also don't like writing a poor review of a small place but I really don't think the food I had was up to standard at all.

By far the best meal we had on our trip to the area. We were lucky enough to be able to sit outside and enjoy the last of the sun whilst having our meal. The choice of starters, mains and desserts was fantastic, so much so it was difficult to settle on only one thing for each course! The food was so fresh, flavoursome and filling. The owner was so friendly and made us feel totally at home as well. Would happily make the journey back north just to have another meal here, as it could never disappoint!

As the road to Diabaig twists and turns through glorious mountain scenery you begin to wonder if there really can be a restaurant ahead. But there it most definitely is, in the beautiful little village of Diabaig set around a sheltered bay, and it has been worth every inch of the journey. Excellent food in a most congenial setting; unpretentious and honest cooking at its best.

9 hour walk over Being Alligin in scorching temperature we retreated to this fabulous

We managed to get the last table and booked for dinner after a tough walk around the area. It is a really cosy restaurant with stove fire and nice selection of beers. The food was excellent and covered our vegan needs. The hosts are wonderful. Just check opening times and call ahead as there are limited tables.
