The best restaurants serving British food in Highlands and Islands

Did not disappoint!! The restaurant is small and intimate, tucked away at the end of charming Loch Bay. We hustled in out of a squall to a glowing fireplace and a very warm welcome from the (2 person) waitstaff. The food was fantastic. All the courses were beautifully prepared and presented. Flavors and sauces perfect. We very much enjoyed this dining experience. Highly recommend!!

Chidakasha is a must-visit for those seeking a truly memorable and unique dining experience on Skye.

We didn’t have a booking but the restaurant fitted us in which we really appreciated. We were not disappointed the food was exceptional and so was the service. The menu is small, but perfect. We all ordered a different main course and none of us were disappointed. I have a starter again, beautiful and the rest of the party a dessert again fantastic. The complimentary soup was a nice touch too. It was the first evening of our stay and it could not have been any better. A really great restaurant. Thank you.

Excellent endroit. Petit déjeuner topissime. On a pris 1 full scottish pour 2 ! Amplement suffisant car très copieux pour juste 12 L !!! Accueil très chaleureux. Personne très soucieuse de votre bien être. Je recommande fortement.

Wonderful place. I had read about the Corrour Estate & have stayed nearby for a number of years & wanted to go there last year but was not organised enough. Got the train up from Roybridge - double check that there is a return train as it would be an epic walk back - delicious lunch of soup & a venison burger with several pints of the Corrour Gold beer and caught the train back. The location is other worldly & must be about as remote as you can get in the UK. Well looked after by the charming team of ladies working there today and will definitely return

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

Great place. Very busy but they found us a table for us out of the way as we have a dog and wanted him tucked away. I had what can only be described as the best, tastiest tomato 🍅 soup I have ever had in my life. It was amazing and sent my comments to the chef that day. Great menu variety and quite a special place .

We stayed here for 2 nights and ate in the restaurant on both evenings and it was fabulous! Rooms are superb, hosts are lovely, great variety of drinks and lovely touches and attention to detail everywhere. The small plates were wonderful... scallops, steak and croquettes were favourites. Great location for sights too!

Great little cafe on the NC500. Lovely coffee and a rhubarb/apple soda that was really good! Broccoli soup was very good. Tuna mayo was good but a lot of bread versus filling. Excellent side salad. First spinach we’d seen in a week.

Absolutely loved this place. A very warm welcome to me and my two dogs and the finest hand dived scallops I’ve ever had in my life. A bit of a drive to get there, but what a location - stunningly beautiful and peaceful. I will definitely be back when I return to this part of the world. Thank you

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!

Really friendly family owed restaurant. We just stopped in for a quick bit to hold us over to dinner. I had the apple pie and my husband had a slice of some type of lemon pie/cake. The apple pie was good. I also had a large tea while my husband had coffee. Very relaxed environment. The owner was really friendly and has two dogs which are nice and mellow. There are snacks for sale already packaged for travel. We took some freshly baked snacks for later that night (i really do not remember what we had…only it was good). The restaurant offers local artist crafts for sale. We Recommend a stop in for a quick bit to eat.

Absolutely outstanding. Only a small 8 table restaurant. Nice, simple, relaxing & laid back set up. The food was exemplary. Well worth the cost. I wouldn't class it as expensive as the quality deserved the cost. Was seated for around two hours and left fully satisfied. This is well worthy of being any cities top rated restaurant.

Can’t recommend this cafe highly enough. Everything about it is spot on. Great food , coffee and cakes. Staff are friendly and efficient.

Great as always! Leanne, Richard and Bain friendly as usual. The food is lovely especially the chips! Great little local small business.
