An absolute gem of a restaurant looking over the harbour. A warm welcome on arrival and an extremely good dinner. The scallops and smoked salmon starters were superb and we followed up with cod, halibut and pork belly every one of which were genuinely delicious. I can’t recommend a restaurant more highly.

Don’t know why it says on here that this place is vegan/vegetarian friendly. Was suppose to dine here recently but told on arrival that they do not cater to vegetarians. It would be helpful if they ask for any dietary requirements when booking

A beautiful setting overlooking the harbour. Booked a table in advance, warm greeting on our arrival, shown to our table next to the window with views of the fishing harbour. Amazing menu and 'Specials' board. Bottle of chilled water on the table for us, ordered drinks which arrived promptly while we were deciding which of the fab choices to go for. We opted out of starters and went straight for the main course, Liz had the local halibut and I went for the fillet steak, presentation was wonderful, and the taste backed it up, perfectly cooked, one of those meals where you did not want it to end.......More drinks ordered, perused the dessert menu, I had pavlova and Liz went for white chocolate mousse.....again, beautifully presented and tasted fabulous. All 3 staff that served us were very friendly and attentive, a wonderful dining experience in a beautiful setting, we will be back....

Nous nous sommes rendus dans ce Bistro , unique restaurant situé sur l'île de Scalpay. Accueil plutôt convivial certes mais un peu froid malgré tout alors que nous avions réservé bien à l'avance. Compte tenu des prix très élevés, nous avions choisi une seule entrée de poissons qui nous a beaucoup plu. Cependant, au moment de payer la note, nous avons dû nous acquitter d'un pourboire non annoncé sur aucune carte d'un montant de e 5,45 livres. Ceci est absolument et nous considérons cette pratique comme une véritable arnaque et même plus. Nous ne recommandons pas cet établissement qui prend ses clients pour des pigeons.

The chef clearly knows how to cook. He uses the same method/ingredients in different dishes and varies things a bit. The portions were quite small. Nice setting. Quite expensive overall. Service was variable. A good night out but not great.

The reviews can't prepare for you for finding such an oasis of fine food in an isolated location. The choice on the menu highlights the local seafood, but don't worry, there is meat available. The bistro is a friendly, cosy, small well run restaurant which we thoroughly enjoyed. We will be back when we're next on the island.

Well well well, what an absolute treat this place was. A relaxed atmosphere with decent music in the background to add to it. To start I had the beef short rib and my husband had the scallops. Then I had the fillet steak which was a special and my husband had a halibut special. No room left for a pudding sadly. A lovely touch, the chef came out to say hello to the tables. A lovely experience. Would highly reccommend! I attach photos of the menus from 29th July 24.

What a contrast, between an uninspiring exterior and a cosy interior with views across the loch - and simply amazing food. We went for dinner, both had starters and mains and it was seafood to die for. No need to desiccate the menu: everything was tops. I love seafood and this was possibly the best meal I've ever had. Well worth the trip across to Scalpay.

Love this place. Discovered it in 2022 when looking for somewhere to go with our puppy. He’s now been three times. We loved it so much we went back a second time the same week in ‘22. We immediately booked to go back when returning in summer 23. 2 lunches and one dinner so far. The food is close to Michelin star level for me. Loved it. Well worth venturing along the road to Scalpay to find. A scenic drive to boot.

Went here based on a recommendation…and how right they were! Based in an unassuming place in the harbour, you’re seated overlooking the water with a glimpse of the kitchen and a clearly experienced and passionate chef Service was perfect: friendly, chatty and genuinely interested despite being full and busy The food was delicious, well thought through and beautifully presented. We ate Cullen skink & seafood plate as starters,Venison and Halibut for mains….just perfect.

A very modest building perched on the harbour with the furnishings basic , clean and serviceable and the welcome from the staff is very warm and friendly. The chef came and explained any dishes that customers were unsure of, giving details of how he’d created the dish. The food served was of Michelin standard, outstanding with flavours and textures only a true master chef with a love and complete understanding of these principles could create. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We came here with another couple for dinner. The food was terrific. There were a couple of things that soured us on the experience, though. Firstly, it was cash only. That was kind of surprising for a high-end restaurant, but no big deal. Fortunately, the couple we dined with knew and informed us in advance. The more annoying policy was the chef's starter/mains policy. I wasn't terribly hungry, so for my meal I wanted to order a bowl of their seafood chowder and the side of vegetables. The server went and checked, and the chef said, "No, starters are starters only and can't be ordered as the meal. WTF? My wife and I shared a bowl of the chowder and each ordered a main. All were wonderful, and the chowder and veg would have been perfect... We didn't go back during our stay.

This bistro has a very modest interior. The seats are cheap plastic, like the kind of Ikea -type chairs you would buy if you are a second-year student and barely able to afford shampoo. But the food!!! Oh my God!!! It is something you would expect at the highest-end restaurants in London. The quality of the produce, the design of the dishes, the preparation, the plating, it is all AMAZING!!! If you are visiting any part of the Western Isles you need to take a detour to this place to try the food!!! A must visit!!!

Unassuming exterior and simple interior but friendly welcome and clearly very popular place. The Staff were lovely and the food was superb. Very reasonably priced for such expertly prepared and presented food. Probably the best dining on the outer Hebrides! Would definitely return.

The Bistro doesn't look anything from the outside, in fact looks pretty plain on the inside. and is in one of the most isolated locations possible on Lewis and Harris (which is saying something). Don't let any of that fool you. The dinner we had...

Well worth the visit and booking a table ahead of arrival to avoid disappointment. Food (quite pricey) but well cooked and served by pleasant staff

An indulgent treat for the tastebuds! Seems to specialise in seafood, and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Staff were friendly and the service was quite quick. Overall, a quirky place whose unassuming exterior belies a gourmet treat!

We visited today for some lunch. The food menu was varied and reasonably priced. The drinks cabinet had only a small selection but we all found something we wanted. The staff member on the till was lovely. There was quite a wait on food but I felt it was worth it as everything was lovely and hot and as far as I could tell it was made to order. We are deducting one star for cutlery not being readily available (it was busy so it was understandable)

Stunning view and friendly, efficient staff in a small family-run hotel. The quality of food was excellent, but fully grown humans may wish to order two main courses each, such was the rather miserly amount of actual food - scallops and monkfish respective.y - on our plates. Top marks for presentation and taste, but would have loved a little more.

We ate twice at Scarista House Restaurant during our recent trip to Harris. We have dined here before on previous visits over the last 20 years and this year it was better than ever. Beautifully prepared local food. First menu - Twice baked cheese soufflé, followed by Stornoway landed hake in a delicious sauce and some delicious vegetables. and then a chocolate roulade!. Second menu - goats cheese, courgette and cheese raviol with a nettle pesto (amazing!) followed by local hand dived scallops and the most delicious lemon tart with excellent pastry, lemon verbena ice cream and a strawberry and pink peppercorn coulis. Fabulous! Highly recommend the cooking here! An absolute delight!

Great family stop for lunch. We had to split the family due to table availability however the staff were great making our daughters feel great at their own table. Great sandwiches and soup with good cakes to finish up.
