The Lodge in Highland

Absolutely outstanding food. The tasting menu is amazing. The in between courses are also great, as each one arrives you think it can’t be beaten and it carries on getting better and better. The wine flight was a wonderful addition. All altogether amazing evening!

I came to Edinbane Lodge on the recommendation of a friend that stated it was the best food h had ever had. I definitely agree! Best food I have ever eaten! Chef is on a higher level.

The finest meal on the Isle of Skye…even better than the actual 1* on the island. Truly exceptional all around. Fresh, locally sourced and creative cuisine along with friendly service makes this the place to go for a fine dining experience on the Isle of Skye! I really can’t pick a favorite course because they were all so unique and tasty! Well done all & thank you.

This restaurant stood out because of how incredibly nice all the staff are and how creative and amazing the food was. When we first arrived in Edinbane, we were having issues checking into our air bnb across the street from the restaurant and they were nice enough to contact the owner and check us in. Once we actually came for dinner later, they were just as nice the whole time. The food was also very delicious and creative compared to all other food you would find on the Isle of Skye. We also appreciated how they quickly moved through the many courses so that we didn’t spend a lot of time waiting throughout the very long meal. The wine pairing was also very well thought out and worked well to share between two people. The atmosphere was also very cozy and warm. Overall, probably the best restaurant in the Isle of Skye!

You’re welcomed into beautiful dark and atmospheric dining room. The service is prompt, courteous and armed with personality. We opted for the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairings. The menu was excellent with every dish a delight in terms of flavour and cookery and the wines were superb with some exceptional new finds. If you’re in Skye I would highly recommend making a reservation well in advance. You will not be disappointed.

Nous avons eu la chance de dîner dans ce restaurant au cadre romantique et cosy où l’accueil est tout autant chaleureux. Le repas avec des produits locaux sourcés et sélectionnés a été fabuleux. Des amuses bouche jusqu’au dessert, un sans faute. Personnel aux petits soins, attentif et attentionné. Une expérience gustative que je ne peux que recommander. En tant que grand amateur de bons vins, nous aurions aimé avoir un choix plus étoffé mais cela n’ôte rien à un sans faute et 5 étoiles pour cet établissement. À quand l’étoile Michelin? Continuez ainsi 👌🏻

Very nice cosy dining room in an historic building. The Service was very srylish and really friendly. We had the 'A taste of Skye Menu". We liked it very much, but I could not eat the "Scallop with smoked dulse" although the scallop was the biggest I have ever seen on my plate since in Scotland! For me the delicate taste of the scallop was drowned in the smokey sauce,but my husband was really happy to eat his and my scallop! The 4 starters in the menu, " cured turbot,free range chicken,wagyu tartare and barbecued mussels" were so delicious that I can only invite this marvellous chef to make them a little bigger or to serve more than one of them, as they measure only aprox 1 cm in diameter.I am still thinking of them today, they were unique, so particularly tasty and the combination of the ingredients was amazing.

We dined here based on the rave reviews and excellent photos. We were not disappointed. Each dish was exquisitely composed and presented with explanation by the staff. Indeed, I would stay that the staff and service exceeded that of a Michelin-starred restaurant with on our travels. We appreciated Chef Calum stopping by our table to say hello. He is quite accomplished at his relatively young age and will undoubtedly continue to gain recognition for his talent.

We have been eating here since the restaurant opened, and on our many visits to Skye we always book a meal at the Lodge. The food is amazing and you will not find better food on Skye. We really enjoyed our visit last week, but we do think that the 12 course menu is just too much - could easily be 8 or 9 courses as previously.

My wife and I spent a wonderful night in this unique establishment. The newly completed bedroom had everything we needed and more. Very high standards with a beautiful decking area and terrace leading the river’s edge. Dinner in the restaurant was a never to be forgotten experience with a delicious locally sourced tasing menu. We were greeted by chef patron Calum which was lovely and personal then looked after by Katie and Alan. All of the staff were attentive, knowledgeable and polite. Real assets to the business. We will definitely be making a return visit and have already recommended Edinbane Lodge to friends and family. Thanks to all for a wonderful stay and dinner!

Highly recommend visiting the fantastic edinbane lodge on the Isle of Skye Callum Montgomery and his team were fantastic..the best service and Callum’s food is simply outstanding..I celebrated my 60th birthday last Thursday in this amazing restaurant and lodge ..Callum and his staff took time out to wish me a happy birthday and have a photo..was great to chat about my days gone by when I once rattled them pots n pans professionally.. Definitely be back next time we visit our spiritual home on Skye 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️❤️

We’ve now been half a dozen times and it’s never disappointed. Calum Montgomery was on Great British Menu on the telly that evening and it was disappointing to see him edged out, but I’m glad he was in the kitchen cooking. Wonderful subtle flavours, beautifully presented and with great technical skills. He’s cautious with the seasoning but that’s fine by me - I can always add a little if need be; you can’t take it away. Fantastic local produce (especially the oyster beignets and Langoustine tartare) and friendly but unobtrusive service all add up to a great evening. Good wine flight available but we went for an excellent white burgundy (£80) plus a glass of red with the venison and a muscat de beaumes with the pudding course. Not cheap at £125 for the tasting menu, but excellent value. The breads alone (Pan de Cristal, wow!) are worth the visit. Just go.

We had a delightful overnight stay at Edinbane Lodge. Our arrival was delayed and they were very accommodating. The tasting menu was phenomenal: we loved everything and we really appreciated the information about sourcing of ingredients. We chose a wine somewhat at random, but the sommelier was able to tell us about it and it was delicious. We stayed in a lovely, spacious room and breakfast the following morning was delicious. Edinbane strikes the perfect balance: really high quality in every way, but very relaxed and comfortable. The staff working there were extremely friendly, helpful and professional: we received a warm welcome and excellent service over check-in and dinner in the evening and the young woman looking after us at breakfast and at check-out was delightful, too. All in all: a fantastic stay and we’ll be back.

30th Anniversary celebration did not disappoint. Taster menu did not go for the winw pairings however a bottle of white and a bottle of red went down a treat.

What a wonderful evening we had at Edinbane Lodge. Calum and his team create such a delightfully friendly and relaxed atmosphere as they serve food that is both delicious and impeccably sourced. Really love their strong ethos to source local food- these guys actually do it rather than saying they do! The Hebridean hogget was sublime and the bread course soooo delicious. Thanks again for a memorable meal.

Wow! Our experience of Edinbane Lodge certainly exceeded our high expectations. The tasting menu was sublime, the service was excellent and not at all stuffy. The ethos of the restaurant in sourcing local ingredients is laudable and has certainly paid off, with the quality and freshness of the ingredients. We were warmly welcomed from our arrival for our overnight stay through to our departure. The wine flight was brilliantly matched to the taster menu.

Everything about this place was first class, from the fantastic service, atmosphere, setting and most of all the food! The food was absolutely fantastic! No wonder it’s recently won both Scottish restaurant and Scottish chef of the year awards.

WOW! This has to be the best meal I have ever had. The warm welcome and the knowledgeable front of house staff were amazing. Each course was perfectly presented and loved the flavours. I am that person that can’t eat fish and Calum prepared a lovely menu for me. Highly recommend a visit here. 5 stars do not do justice to the meal we were served

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Tasting menu and wine pairing were fabulous along with the very knowledgeable and friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend.

I booked the Edinbane on the basis of its being recommended in the Michelin Guide. Overall it's out there as the best place my OH and I have dined in by far. It's well worthy of a Michelin star. The food is excellent and very well presented and service was on point !! Accompanying the 8 course tasting menu we were given a handy descriptor of where all the produce is sourced with much of it coming from the garden or nearby on Skye. Each course was very well presented and tasted superb. For me the stand out dishes were the monkfish and the scallops (which were sourced in Edinbane itself). Although very tasty, I did find the wagu beef a little 'chewy'; it wasn't as good as some belted galloway fillet I sampled at a Michelin star venue a few nights previous. The service is very professional and excellent in every way; well presented, personable and friendly staff and not overly attentive. I liked the fact that the serving staff wore black gloves. As I've said about some of the other venues I've visited recently, I do wonder how Michelin rank their restaurants as the Edinbane Lodge is better than some 2-star places we have visited in the past. 10 out of 10.

One of the wonderful things about Scotland is their food. Everywhere, from brunch to a quick afternoon cafe to full on dinner, the average quality of what you taste is quite high. Now imagine a place aiming even higher: that's Edinbane Lodge. Their focus and imagination around local produce and flavours pay off -- the main fish course that evening was simply wonderful, as was everything else all the way to petit fours. There is a quiet elegance to this place, at once simple and sophisticated, with a genuinely warm service. Absolutely deserving their top spot on the island as well as their Michelin recognition.

Relaxed five star dining. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Before our visit, Katie called us to check if we had any allergies/dietary requirements. A special menu menu was prepared for me as a result of my dietary requirements. This was no hassle whatsoever to the restaurant. The staff were all lovely and the food absolutely fantastic. The beef was one of the nicest dishes I have ever tasted. The way the beef has been cooked was incredible (crisp on the edges and Smokey - although I made the cardinal sin of asking for my beef medium to well). In fact, I would say this particular dish was nicer than any of the dishes currently being served at Andrew Fairlie’s restaurant (i.e a high bar). The dress code is very mixed. Some people were dressed formally whilst others in trainers/jeans but most people were smart casual.

Simply the best meal we have ever eaten, the quality and the taste was outstanding, as was the exemplary service, we have eaten here before but this meal surpassed the first visit by far, and the first visit was good as well!! As it is a tasting menu we will have to wait for a menu change to visit again!

Best meal we have had in years. So many flavours, beautifully paired with the wines suggested. A big spend but well worth it. A very special evening. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere, staff excellent.

This place is amazing. The food was so good. Every bite. Innovative and delicious. The ambiance is also great. Terrific wait staff. Sure it’s expensive but if you want a memorable world class dinner then this is the place. As good as any restaurant we have been to in the States.

Another great meal at Edinbane Lodge - the food just gets better and better ! You just won’t find a better place to eat on Skye ! 😀

This is one of those meals we will always remember! Easily our favorite meal in Skye. The food was incredible and innovative! The staff were so professional, kind, and fun! We learned so much and had a great time! We will probably talk about this...

Wonderful lodge with an excellent restaurant which deserves a Michelin star. We spent two nights on the Isle of Skye and it is very well located there. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

We went for lunch and enjoyed the tasting menu. Service was welcoming, friendly and knowledgable. Each course was a celebration of locally sourced produce, creatively finessed with great attention to detail. The highlights were the oyster beignets, mussels, divine scallops and a sensational chocolate and...

Given the price, the food was not up to Michelin star standards. A few of the dishes on the tasting menu were amazing. But a few were way to much butter and not enough flavor. One of my fish courses was undercooked, pink, and chewy....

For being the best restaurant in Scotland with the best Chef, it was fine. The service was OK, brought our first course before our cocktails arrived. Not good. The food was interesting but miniscule, all ten courses. And the music of 60's greatest hits was...

We had a fantastic lunch at Edinbane two weeks ago. The food was amazing but we also really loved the specialty cocktails. The New Old Fashioned and Bramble were not to be missed. Overall, it was a wonderful and relaxed dining experience. Besides the fact...

Just a spectacular restaurant top to bottom. One of the best Michelin tasting menus I’ve ever had, anywhere in the world. Honestly deserving of a star asap. The restaurant is perfectly curated to encapsulate Skye; nearly every ingredient is from the island itself, showcasing the...

This tasting menu was our favorite meal during our entire 4-week honeymoon. Each course was delicious, there was a menu detailing where everything was sourced from locally, and it was fascinating to learn about their young apprentice chef who designed the incredible dessert dishes. Highly...

Staff was very nice and food for the veg tasting menu was very good. The pace of the service worked well and there was an optional wine paring. The restaurant was quite casual so we didn’t feel out of place after driving around the island...

Every dish was a masterpiece. The wine list was excellent. The service was first class. Could not recommend this restaurant too highly.

We found Food Heaven. It's in a tiny backwater village on the Isle of Skye. When you taste the scallop you'll know what I'm talking about. I wont spoil the rest for you, except to say it was pretty special.

I wanted to like this more -- the setting is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff did a good job, but it wasn't exceptional. The food was nice, not amazing, and interior wasn't overly comfortable...especially for a 3 ish hour tasting experience, i feel they could...

One of the greatest meals of my life …. From a fussy foody. PS the cocktails by the Portuguese bartender were off the charts too! And the taxi driver Michael just added to the evening.

Booked a room and the tasting menu… both were tremendous. The 10 course dinner hit every note and we weren’t disappointed with a single plate. Gotta admit that I was skeptical with some of the descriptions on the menu, but turned out those were some...

We'd chosen Edinbane as a base specifically because it has a pub and a fine dining restaurant within walking distance. We chose the Lodge for our second last night on Skye. We had booked a table a few weeks in advance and were glad we...

Wow! Another amazing meal at The Lodge. This was my favourite menu yet. The beef was out of this world, I’ve never tasted anything like it. Mom and myself are both coeliacs and this is not a problem at all. The waiting staff are so...

Service, friendly, helpful and not pompous at all. Yes portion sizes were small - but there's 8-10 dishes to get through. Well worth the money - as was the highlight of our holiday - I reckon it cost me about £100 an hour, but my...

I’m not sure words can really explain how amazing the experience was. Wonderful staff, outrageously delicious food, and a fantastic atmosphere.

The non fish-eaters in our party were delighted with their alternatives. A wonderful (and unexpected)...

We had heard great things and ordered the tasting menu with wine flight. The check totaled over $400 US for two people. The tasting menu we were given sounded amazing but the actual food lacked creativity and taste and the portions were smaller than expected...

Exceptional food, incredible service and an outstanding dining experience all four of us enjoyed. WONDERFUL

A warm welcome from friendly staff. They genuinely wanted us to have a great experience. The tasting menu at lunch was superb. I could really go on at length about every course. But suffice to say - well cooked, thoughtful menu, locally sourced and imaginatively...

The attention to detail, the setting and the staff were all 10 out of 10!! Entire evening worthy of M* Loved the fact all ingredients were super local!!

Well, we came back nearly 3 years after our first visit and - wow, what a meal! Outstanding quality - intense flavours, nothing just presented prettily for the sake of it and refined to the point of blandness. The top notch produce (mostly Skye sourced)...

tried this restaurant during recent trip to Skye, main course and dessert were both excellent. service was also excellent. Nice to be in a restaurant where the staff are genuinely interested in making sure your visit is a good one. Recommended.

We dined here for my birthday while staying in the Lodge. Overall fantastic experience and the food as well as the service is worth the price. Highly recommend.

2 years in the waiting due to covid. Fabulous food, fabulous service. What a treat. Had the evening tasting menu. Each course sublime, perfect end to a perfect day on Skye. Just a couple of example’s

The food was utterly sublime, as you’d expect for a team trained by Marcello Tully. However, the service was the icing on a particularly spectacular cake. Not just the grown ups, but the child in our party even more so. Please visit, you will not...

Absolutely outstanding food and really impressed by the local sourcing. Every course was stunning and fantastic presentation. We visit Skye regularly and have tried the Three Chimneys… Edinbane’s food was better. Deserves a Michelin star. The only option was the tasting menu at £105 which...
