Kishorn Seafood Bar in Highland

Were staying across road and after all the amazing reviews had to go. Did the big seafood platter and paid the high price as trying local Scottish seafood was on our bucket list. I would have said no but hubby was keen. Now it was lovely but I would not rave about it as much as others have. It was extremely expensive but unsure of local prices so it may have been normal. Two of us could not eat it all so was able to take left overs with us. Setting was lovely. Nothing flash but a great view. Staff lovely and wine great. If you can get fresh local seafood somewhere else on your trip for less expense, give it a go.

We diverted from our NC500 route for this seafood restaurant, and it was worth the trip. The crab chowder was incredible, as was the cod, sirloin and scallop burger. Unfortunately, the langoustines were very underwhelming. £30 for 5, and we watched as they were simply picked from the counter and put in a bowl - no cookery involved, no seasoning or thought given to them. Why not heat them up? Why not improve the flavour and texture? £30 for 5 cold XL prawns…? We would have loved to try more, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming, but our lunch had already come to over £80 so we called it a day. It’s well worth a visit, but prepare yourself for a hefty bill.

What a fantastic little gem serving freshly caught local shellfish and other locally sourced dishes. The staff are attentive and the atmosphere is cosy. As a bonus the treacle tart was amazing!!

This is a tiny restaurant, so booking is essential unless you want to sit outside. The kitchen is in the same room, open to the dining area, so you can watch the food being prepared. The menu is not large, being almost entirely fish and seafood, with just or two other dishes. Their speciality are large seafood platters, suitable for sharing between two or three people. These are not cheap – I shared a large £130 platter with two friends – but it was absolutely worth the cost. It included scallops, oysters, crab claws, large langoustines, mussels, squat lobsters (a particular favourite, rarely found on menus), a dressed crab, and probably some other things I've forgotten. The wine is surprisingly affordable. I definitely recommend visiting if you like seafood and are not on a tight budget.

Un restaurant sympathique Large choix de fruits de mer Le saumon était très bon et bien cuit par contre mon demi homard n’était pas top Servi froid avec des pommes de terres chaudes il était très petit et mouillé Je m’explique l’intérieur de la pâte était tellement mouillé que l’intérieur était spongieux , pour 32£ c’est très cher La salade d accompagnement était fraîche et le coleslaw très bon aussi Vin blanc bon

Absolutely brilliant, it was my 66th birthday treat whilst travelling the nc500 on my motorbike and after visiting the nearby (ISH) Eilean Donan Castle The wonderful owners kept a table by for me as it was a special occasion and we arrived slightly damp in classic Scots weather. Warmly greeted and tabled before dining like kings on a seafood platter! Excellent place thanks all!

Eat there this evening and the food was simply superb - Simply being the prime word. Don’t expect white table cloths or fancy menus this place is crab shack in vibe. No messing about just the freshest produce cooked beautifully. We had the super shellfish platter and upgraded to a full lobster addition with drinks came in at £200 for the 3 of us and there was a lot of food! Places like this don’t get the credit they deserve

Do not enter Torridon or Applecross without stopping here. You won't find any better seafood further North! The finest Scottish scallops and crab sitting outside on a beautiful sunny day in May, doesn't get much better really.

Fabulous lunch today - superb poached salmon, scallops and hot smoked salmon. They even cooked us some divine new potatoes. Salad and coleslaw were as good as it gets. We live on Skye, but this was so much more enjoyable than overrated espablishments on the island. Superb, cannot wait for them to reopen

Amazing food. We had a lovely seafood soup, smoked salmon and seafood orzo and it was a 10 out of 10 on all counts. Generous portions. We wanted to come for breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day !

This is a casual, cosy restaurant. We went for an evening meal and had the seafood platter for two which cost £120.00. I have had this dish in France, Canada and New Zealand. None of them compared to Kishorn! If you intend to go, book a table - both times we went it was full.

Excellent! Food and service excellent. We arrived early for a table, as it was a rainy day and wanted to sit inside. Wow the smell from the open kitchen sets your taste buds off straight away. Food was delicious and service great as well. What a find! Don’t take in any notice of negative reviews, this place is a find! We called on the NC500 route. Will be back, absolutely delicious!

The seafood platter was awesome… loved it all .. mussels were sweet and tasty.Oysters and langoustines were lovely. Beautiful setting , friendly staff … worth the trip

Wunderbares seafood-Restaurant.Wir hatten Langusten und Hummer mit sehr leckeren coleslaw und Salat, dazu eine leckere Mayo und Brot.Alles war sehr liebevoll angerichtet und schmeckte himmlisch.Das Ambiente in der blauen Hütte mit den schönen Sitzgelegenheiten im Garten war wunderbar. Auch preislich war es für das Gebotene sehr angemessen.

Amazing experience. One of the best meals we have had dining out. The food was fresh and cooked to a very high standard. The atmosphere was quaint and comfortable. The staff were so kind and welcoming. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning next time we are in the area.

Un endroit unique, une petite gargotte en bord de loch. Toute bleue sortie de nul part, une ambiance unique surtout si vous avez la chance de manger dehors au soleil. Des plats de mer simples mais excellents.

I gave this 4 stars because the fare was very good and a nice setting (on a nice day). We had the Scallops £18.50 and hot smoked salmon fillet £16.50. I dropped a star because it is expensive and maybe not as good as what you would get at the shack in Ullapool or Oban for a more reasonable price. When researching it is difficult to find a price list, because apparently it is priced everyday, but I think they could give a ballpark figure if they wanted to. I've posted a couple of pictures showing the pricelist on our visit. Definately worth a visit but maybe not too often.

Excellent oysters but terrible front of house service. We drove a 90 mile round trip to sample the seafood ,but left disappointed. As we walked in there was no " Hello , how are you" just a " it's last orders in 15 mins and the menus are on the board" We found our own table and looked at the menu board. We expected some communication of the fact that you order at the till and that it is not table service. It never came. We nearly walked out at that point but stayed instead to spend our cash. My six oysters came and were very good. No eye contact or words from the waitress. The lady front of house possibly the owner / manager is in the wrong job. We did not feel welcomed only rushed and our experience was ruined. We had to ask for napkins and as we left, again no thank you or bye bye. Buck your ideas up madam you are no help to the business.

Found by chance lovely setting overlooking the loch. All the shellfish looked amazing, we had lobster and langoustine so fresh and delicious, excellent service, will definitely revisit if in the area again. Cant recommend enough.

We stumbled upon this seafood bar and had lunch there. The seafood, haddock chowder and smoked salmon were absolutely delicious! And the service was very friendly. I absolutely recommend this place!

after finding very few places to eat out whilst doing the NC500 we were recommended this place and it provided a very good langoustine lunch which was much appreciated

What a treat this was! After a lovely lunch here last year we vowed to return in the evening next time and sample the seafood platter. Two of us shared the platter, the others ordered langoustines, and sea trout. The platter was amazing, absolutely loaded with delicious seafood, including a lobster. The highlights for me were the lobster and crab claws. The langoustines were outstanding, possibly the best I've ever had, and the sea trout was pronounced 'delicious'. Very pleasant and attentive service and a lovely location on a beautiful evening. Recommended!

I picked my holiday rental so I could be within walking distance to this seafood bar. That's how much I look forward to Scottish shellfish and salmon every year! And Kishorn seafood bar doesn't disappoint. The service is great and the food absolutely lovely! We tried everything we could think of during our stay but the seafood platter is definitely one to remember. And they'll sneak your furry friend a snack as well.

We'd looked forward to this for our whole long weekend away ...a treat ahead we thought! However, the staff were not very friendly, and the food was massively over priced. We have eaten in lots of seafood shack places around Scotland, such as the wonderful Skipness one which is in such a stunning setting. I checked the Skipness prices today, and their seafood platter for 2 is only £30, whereas at Kishorn it was something like £120. What a rip off! My husband had scallops today and there were only 3 small ones and with a croissant ...what's that about ...doesn't go at all!! I had the salmon platter. I'd hoped to have fresh crab or some other crustacean kind of seafood, but at £25 for a whole crab I had to pick something else. The gravadlax and hot smoked salmon were nice but the portions were tiny. The staff also forgot part of our order. My feeling is that the great reviews on here are by tourists from outwith Scotland who just don't know how short this falls below other seafood places on the west coast! Sorry I hate writing negative reviews and indeed hardly ever write reviews but just felt I had to this time.

The Cullen Skink was delicious and gluten free. This tiny spot even had gluten free bread to go with it, which I hadn’t expected at such a small establishment.. The staff were very friendly, too. It’s definitely worth a stop if heading to Applecross.

Came upon this by accident. What a great surprise. Delicious food. Absolutely marvellous and sittingputside too

Lovely fresh looking restaurant that invited us to pop in and have lunch. Mussels for me & fish soup for him. Both fabulous. The cafeteria coffee was superb too. So pleased we found you whilst exploring the views and bending roads. Beautiful day so we...

We had an unplanned stop at the Kishorn Seafood Restaurant. We had a late lunch after an unfortunate puncture. We enjoyed a beautiful lunch however it was the kindness of the the proprietor which we appreciated the most. We enjoyed the garden seating area and...

I chose the Langoustines and my wife had the hot smoked salmon. Both served with delicious new potatoes and salad. Excellent quality. Nice bottle of Picpoule. Friendly staff, great views. The Seafood platter looked wonderful but at £120 for 2 might be too expensive for...

Wow. So glad we stopped on the way through. Does not disappoint at all. Beautifully prepared and I would go as far to say the best Chowder I have ever eaten! Love this restaurant and would highly highly recommend it.

This was the seafood I was looking for whilst travelling the NC 500! Not cheap but very much worth the money! The mussels were cooked the way they should be, the crab was also delicious! Lots to choose from on the menu made it difficult...

So good we had to fit another visit into our brief stay on Lochcarron ! Just superb dishes. Beautifully presented. Great views across the Loch.

We happened on this restaurant back in September, 2022. We thought we were going to be disappointed as we did not have reservations and a lot of the restaurants we tried to eat at on our trip told us the same thing, no reservation, no...

Im Jahr 2004 waren wir schon einmal hier und hatten das frische Essen in bester Erinnerung. Auch diesmal hatte sich...

We visited here for lunch after doing a long walk close by. We decided to have a seafood platter with lobster since it's a great place to get seafood! We were not disappointed. The platter was huge and so tasty. The restaurant itself is pretty...

This an amazing place for lunch after a walk. Do not hesitate to order the seafood platter which is fantastic. Friendly and efficient staff. Suggest you book at least 24 hours in advance by email info@kishornseafoodbar.co.uk because they are often too busy to answer the...

We stopped for a quick lunch on a journey north a week or two ago. Wished we'd had more time and not been driving. Lovely menu, we enjoyed our food and had suitable menu envy of those round about us. Simple and smart. Midges (I...

Definitely a place to visit if you like seafood - we enjoyed the best ever seafood platter that was so fresh and beautifully presented. The location is a very cute cabin which is very well kept and had a lovely feel about it. It's a...

Consigliatissimo. È un seafood bar con pochi tavoli e con un’atmosfera familiare in mezzo ai panorami mozzafiato delle highlands. Pesce...

We went to the Kishorn Seafood Bar for a late lunch, on the way back from Skye to Torridon. At first I was a little skeptical about the menu, and thought it expensive compared to other options elsewhere. But the food, when it arrived, completely...

After many years, this will sadly be the last of my annual visits. Limited choice, underwhelming and tiny portions of dressed crab, bland smoked fish. Service was fine, but this was very poor value for money.

Ate here one evening while staying in Lochcarron. Laid back and relaxed roadside setting with superb selection of the best local seafood. An absolute delight. Can also recommend the lemon tart which was just excellent. Definitely need to book for the evening.

The menu may well have changed as it is some time since our visit, but the overall quality on both times we went (6 months apart) was very good, and of course a real treat for seafood lovers.

Stumbled onto this place - so glad we did! Great menu, decor, and staff. Probably the best seafood I've ever had and everything we ate was terrific. Highly recommend.

I had the best burger I've ever tasted here (and that's saying something). Honestly, I'd reccomend going out of your way to visit the Kishorn sea food bar. It's a beautiful drive through the west coast with stunning views of the sea, magestic mountains and...

The Kishorn is a handy stop off on the road to Applecross with a nice view of loch across from the restaurant. We stopped for lunch and enjoyed being able to sit outside and enjoy the good weather. The menu and seafood are on display...

Well, after the huge disappointment at The Seafood Shack the day before, we arrived here expecting more of the same. How wrong we were : it was seafood heaven and it took us all our will power not to order everything off the menu. What...

Visited on the off chance as we were passing through on our way to Applecross, so glad we stopped by the food was out of this world. I had the dressed crab and hubby had the scallops (I decided I didn’t think we were hungry...

We arrived a bit early for lunch so waited in the car park until opening time; we then still had to wait outside for 10 minutes as the restaurant wasn't ready. Ordered a dozen oysters to start - £2.50 each, shucked OK, served with lemon...

We were told by friends whilst we were holidaying in the West Highlands not to miss this quirky little place, off the beaten track. We took them at their word and made our way along some very small roads to a little hamlet with a...

Booked in for evening meal, best to book in as was busy. We really wanted to have the seafood platter but at £80 was too much, would be great if they offered a smaller version of it. We had two seafood pasta main meals which...

We stumbled across this lovely friendly place and enjoyed a wonderful plate of moules- a perfect lunch in a great setting.

Leuk en informeel restaurant, vooral voor visliefhebbers. Kwaliteit is heel goed en de bediening vriendelijk en informeel. Het is geen...

Good seafood, well presented and seasoned. Staff in the main bright and engaging. Obviously very popular so bookings recommended. However bearing in mind you’re dining in basically a wooden hut in the middle of nowhere, the cost for such simple and plentiful ingredients is a...

My father spent many summers camping at Kishorn, and we had a family holiday there when I was about 10 but I've not been back since. We visited today and had the most amazing lunch, made all the better by being able to sit outside...

We got there just before closing but they took our order anyway. We had the Seafood Platter for two, and my daughter had a burger. The platter looked amazing and it tasted even better. Just wish we'd arrived a bit earlier as the staff were...

Fabulous restaurant with lovely outdoor seating overlooking the loch. We shared the seafood platter which was a real treat. The squat lobsters and scallops were especially delicious. Also thanks for gluten free bread to accompany.

£80 and not even a bit of lobster. Tasted nice but I doubt if I'll be back. Had better for £35. Its the price that gave it the poor rating

My aunt, uncle, cousin and my mother and I went to this amazing restaurant for dinner when we were all in Lochcarron on holiday. It was recommended by another family member as it had the most amazing seafood. They were not wrong. This little restaurant...

Fabulous food, great service and a very enticing webpage. Sadly we have hardly ventured off Skye in 2021 but cannot wait to return in 2022 Olivia and family Everything is so fresh and beautifully presented - the new potatoes always a special treat as well...

A tiny little shack, doesn’t look much from the road, but oh my, the freshest, best prepared seafood we have ever had the pleasure of being served. Smoked haddock chowder to start with soft bread, then seafood orzo pasta (so generously stuffed with muscles scallops...

I want one of those on every motorway service area not only on A road 500 miles from my home ;) We were looking for a place for early dinner, passed this place initially and decided to turn back to check it. It was worth...

Gorgeous fresh food. We had mussels and chowder. Reasonably priced but maybe a little on the expensive side for portion size. Staff lovely. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

We didn’t set out to visit on the day we were in the area but after some uninspiring menus at places on our route and others not open for lunch we decided to go out of our way to this Resturant and we were not...

It's a simple enough place, not much to look at, but then you have a great view and the freshest and best seafood you'll find. My plain dressed crab salad was simply superb. All you want from a crab and nothing more or less. The...

Too say the Kishorn Seafood Bar exceed our expectations...and that's ONLY because the weather has been SO mixed across Scotland at this time..which is pretty inevitable..The staff were 1st class and served the BEST seafood dishes too us all..The seafood platter was especially DEELICIOUS...What a...

Two excellent meals here, including a a neatly packed takeaway. Seafood so fresh and the orzo dish was very nice indeed.

We had our tea here while up in the NW Scotland simply the best seafood platter served and hot smoked salmon Very busy place with friendly staff. A great place to eat

Phoned them as we were running late, and they stayed open for us to be able to get food. The food was first rate as well as was the service. Definitely worth a visit

It’s what you expect from the name a seafood restaurant. Driving by on a number of occasions over the last three years we have tried often to get in. It’s small and well formed but that means I’m busy times it can be tough to...

It is very rarely that I am motivated to write a restaurant review, particularly a negative one, but I feel that the Kishorn Seafood Bar merits the effort. At £12, I expected my langoustine sandwich to be bursting with seafood. I wish I had extracted...

This place draws us back each time we are in the area. Limited menu of fresh seafood, we ordered langoustines to share which were huge and most full of caviar. The accompanying salads delicious but hot potatoes with cold seafood and salad confuses somewhat. The...

Incredibly fresh seafood and fantastic flavour from the sauces as well; I had the langoustines and muscles in white wine & garlic sauce which hit the spot. Originally wanted oysters but they were out of stock - few minutes later they were delivered and they...

Shared the seafood platter for 2 between 3 of us. In particular the lobster, scallops and mussels were amazing and worth the £75. Lovely little place over looking the water out to see. Did get annoyed by the wasps a bit but if ever passing...

We went twice during our stay at Loch Carran. We had two fantastic meals. The sea food platter is just amazing. The kids loved the langoustines and the lobster as well as the chowder. Would definitely recommend it as a must when in the area.

Awesome restaurant. Came here for lunch on NC500 trip. Had a scallop roll and it was yummy. Would go back and try everything from the menu if I lived nearby. Just go, you will not regret it.

Super location for a super evening meal. We ordered squats in garlic butter together with langoustines and salad with coleslaw and boiled potatoes together with dressed crab. Such a fun way to eat. And the apple cake for dessert was to die for. Friendly staff...

We arrived here 20 minutes before opening and were greeted genuinely out the window by the kitchen staff . Unfortunately then I met the owner who was on the phone, couldn’t have been more unwelcoming and even commented to the person she was talking too...

We were doing the NC500 and drove past this place, it did help that the sun was shining and there were people sitting out side eating, so we thought to check it out - and I happy that we did! I wish we could have...

Stopover for a quick bite of lunch which turned out to be a great find - delicious salmon sandwich with an unbeatable view on a lovely summer afternoon. Friendly service, clean premises and good value as well!

In the middle of nowhere we stumbled on this restaurant and just had to stop. It is the prettiest of places, with its own identify and a clear understanding of its strengths. The food was tremendous, the setting idyllic. If you are lucky enough to...

This quaint little seafood bar captivated us from the start. The lovely decor caught our eye as we drove past and we had to turn round for lunch. We chose the squat lobster, dressed crab tray and fish chowder all of which were presented excellently...

I generally rate a restaurant by starting with three stars and adding or subtracting depending on the strong points and the weak points. I have no hesitation in giving the Kishorn Seafood Bar five stars. The food was absolutely perfect, neither of us could fault...

A roll with scallops in garlic butter. Sounded quite odd. Tasted absolutely splendid. Also got a take way langoustine box - another treat. Well worth the short journey from Lochcarron.

Just stopped off for a bite to eat after a perilous trip over the mountain! I had a langoustine sandwich which came with crisps, a lovely salad and coleslaw. All delicious with a much needed glass or two of wine! Thank you x

High quality seafood, great lunch stop , quick and good service., dressed crab , half lobster (and a burger for the fussy non fish eater)

What a little gem in a beautiful remote setting with a fab view and fine dining to go along with it. We were a large group with some very fussy eaters to accommodate and the staff were brilliant in making sure everybody was happy with...

Amazing attentive service Restaurant with the view you could spend hours staring at The staff were beyond amazing img and accommodating We were a large group of 19 and each person was happy Amazing quality food was served Staff were happy to assist For seafood...

Four of us were driving the NC500 and we stopped here for my birthday dinner. Two of us shared a seafood platter with crab, lobster, mussels, langoustine and scallops. Delicious and fresh. Best meal of our trip.

Perhaps we were just unlucky with our choice of food, but we did not have a good experience at Kishorn Seafood restaurant. My supposedly smoked haddock and leek chowder was watery with large lumps of new potato and not much fish. My partner chose a...

What a warm welcome we received on the first day of re-opening in Scotland. Delicious scallop rolls as well as more fancy stuff. All ready to take away or eat outside on the balcony or garden with views across to Skye.

We decided to eat here as a result of positive reviews on TripAdvisor. However, we were disappointed by our experience. We were wanting the lobster but sadly there was only 1 left. Three of us chose something else so that the lobster lover amongst us...

As per many people I’m sure, we stopped here on the NC500, we hadn’t done any research in advance or planned to stop off so I was pleased it turned out to be such a good choice. As it was a beautiful day we sat...

Amazing seafood restaurant . Great produce cooked perfectly . A unexpected find above Lochcarron . Pleasant chef and owner who cares about his business, creating a bright and cheerful ambiance with fresh local produce.

Lovely spot to break the journey to Skye, had squat lobster and oysters both very good they offer various platters and sandwiches too, all well presented

If you are doing a trip to Applecross, this fabulous place is perfect for supper on the way home. Great welcome, superb food and you can sit outside in the garden and eat as the sun goes around and down. Highly recommend the lobster and...

Wonderful lobster salad. We had phoned ahead to request a couple of lobster salads for our arrival at a B&B in Achintraid. Really friendly welcome and a great start to our stay. Nicest Lobster we’ve had in years.

Three of us stopped in for a meal (Covid friendly outside tables) and we weren't disappointed. The portions were small and it was relatively expensive but the food was lovely. Seafood marinara and seafood orzo very nice. The folk beside us had the lobster and...

Stopped off here on a stormy Sunday afternoon and was not disappointed. Everything on the menu looked incredible and I think we maybe chose wrong. We had the crab sandwich box (literally a crab sandwich which I don’t think was very clear) and the scallops (again on a bread roll). The fish was delicious and cooked perfectly but the bread elements were slightly random and took away from the fish. I think we should’ve chosen the bigger box option or the platter, never mind just an excuse to go back again!

This is an amazing restaurant. Sureal in its location, nestled on the side of beautiful Loch Carron, the chef Daniel will provide exquisite fresh seafood at a great price and accompanied by a wonderful choice of drinks, including local beers. After a really hard day on the Torridon hills we were lucky enough to catch him 30 mins before he closed and were soon served with a fabulous seafood platter. Top food in a top location - an absolute must! Thank you Daniel and we'll definitely be back!
