The best restaurants in Eilean Siar Highlands and Islands

We ate at the Uig Sands twice. Once as a cafe for soup and once for an evening meal. We absolutely loved the experience and it wrapped up and end of a magical week On Harris and Lewis. The food was fairly simple and not fussed about with, but was high quality produce, cooked extremely well. Best Scallops Ive had anywhere and these chefs know how to season their food. Front of house was near impeccable. Attentive, relaxed and friendly. Sadly the fixed menu had finished as the restaurant was about to finish its season, but the choices were good and balanced.

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.

Incredible scone, worth the visit

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.

Cocktails 10/10 our bartender Ciaran certainly knows what he is doing. Haggis and black pudding incredible Angus and Jade really polite and informative the new chicken breast main on the market menu is amazing 100% recommended

Stopped for a "fancy" meal while cycling the Heb Way, great decision. Staff were lovely and food was excellent

Food was excellent and the Guinness was top notch. Prices were very reasonable and staff were extremely friendly. Would love to return sometime.

Found this spot towards the end of our stay in Berneray. Food was really spot on, I had French onion soup to start and haunch of venison with Arran mustard mash and cabbage. So good. Service may seem a touch abrupt but actually I think that’s wrong, they were really nice.

A stunning hotel and restaurant, beautifully decorated and in a beautiful location. On the way in we saw two stags in the surrounding grounds, looking majestic. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the whole place had such a community feel as they knew a lot of the diners, it really does seem to be the place to go for a meal. We are in the bar area as we had our dog, the staff, the food was beautiful, fresh fish and chips were the best I've eaten, and a steak which looked amazing and cooked to perfection. Then the desserts, creme brulee and a sticky toffee pudding - again perfect. We can't wait to be back on Uist to visit again.

Warm Highland welcome, staff were so nice, we phoned quite late to book and nothing was a problem. Delicious chicken, bacon and haggis roll, reasonably priced

Great wee cafe next to the jewellery shop. Great cakes. Good pot of tea. Very friendly staff. Good place for cyclists to stop, just be careful on the unmade road.

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.
