The best restaurants in Na Hearadh agus Ceann a Deas nan Loch Eilean Siar Highlands and Islands

We came to Skoon a few times since it opened its doors and were back today (my other half, her father and I) while visiting family on Harris: we spoke to Emma and she was great to talk to. The place has not lost any of its charm, a real oasis for visitors and with delicious bakes/coffee. The artwork by John is splendid, and there is a good collection of sheet music (trad music for clarsach and fiddle, mainly) and CDs/Vinyls. I would be back in a heartbeat! Francesco

What a special treat we experienced on our visit to Flavour this week. From the moment we arrived we felt welcome and relaxed. Each & every course offered a wonderful taste of the produce available seasonally on our Island with the attention to detail that goes into the selection, preparation & the presentation of the dishes, quite amazing. We enjoyed hearing the story of our food from start to finish & the dedication put in by Chris, the Flavour team & also His family is evident. Absolutely Michelin star dedication. Thank you all for a very special evening A&A

Please please please open up again. I don't mind paying extra as the quantities and qualities of food are stupendous. 😋😘🤗

Fantastic experience . Thoroughly recommended. Beautiful setting on the Golden Road. Looking forward to return visit with Mercedes 500SL together with our own portable table and chairs!

Tucked away on the other side of the pier, this is a fantastic takeaway, the taster box was delicious and so fresh. Loved the scallops which were perfectly cooked. Thank you.

Delicious beef and veg curry pasties. Also sampled the brownie, chocolate butteries and frangipane tarts. All fresh and thoroughly delicious. Do stop off and sample these delights

Best Vegan breakfast we've ever had.

Conveniently located on the car park opposite Leverburgh village hall, this van serves cones and tubs of very special ice cream most afternoons. A delightful young man took our order and money, and a very nice lady made up the ice creams. A little mental concentration is required; you have to decide 1) what size you require, 2) whether to have ice cream or frozen yoghurt as the base, and 3) what flavour to choose. I had the blackberry, which was fabulous. Just one suggestion; could you site a waste bin near the van, for used paper cups?

A must visit on The Golden Road, in fact a must visit in Harris, the best baking I have tasted in a long time. All in a beautiful gallery run by a lovely couple.

The food I have to say is amazing, however it's the rest that let's it down, we were asked to come in half hour earlier than our booking, ...ok fair enough but we were not seated until 40 minutes after arrival, what was the point in asking us to come in early , then the table wasn't ready , they don't serve any form of cider so we had a bottle of red wine which we waited for ever for, it also took forever to be asked what we wanted to eat, given everything is cooked to order that bit didn't take to long and was absolutely amazing, they also add a service charge which they don't tell you about and it's not advertised anywhere, so to sum up the food is amazing but front of house let this place down otherwise it would have had five stars

We had visited Cafe Kisimul some 6 years ago when walking Hebridean Way and were really looking forward to taking our respective wives there. I'm sure they thought we were exaggerating that there was a really good "Indian" restaurant on Barra. Neither we, nor they, were disappointed. However if you want to try the place for yourselves yo may have to wait until Spring 2025 as I believe they close for the winter season. Friendly staff, busy so reservation recommended. Probably essential

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.

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!

Wonderful photographs of the area unframed and framed. Table mats and coasters. Beautiful building in a wonderful setting with very helpful people. Worth taking a look see.
