Croft 36
Na Hearadh agus Ceann a Deas nan Loch, Eilean Siar
17/10/2020: We were surprised that this place had so little food at 2pm on a Wednesday in October. It’s testament to the popularity of this establishment with its honesty box.One party allowed in at a time with soap and water provided outside, together with sanitiser indoors. The food was really lovely! The vegetarian curry pasty (£3.50) was delicious. The fresh bread (£2) was soft and airy. The gluten free chocolate brownies (£3) very moreish and the Pabbay venison and dumpling (£6) was really tasty.Would certainly recommend!
13/10/2020: Went to Croft 36 after reading reviews and we were not disappointed
Fresh and tasty homemade loafs scones etc and the best curry veg pasty ever along with frangipane tarts Mmmm
A great selection of home cooked meals also available

The Verandah
An Taobh Siar agus Nis, Eilean Siar
09/08/2019: Our favourite ever restaurant on the island and actually in Scotland nothing compares to it. Michelin star quality but with hearty delicious portions. Tonight we had seafood plate and lamb spring rolls for our starter. Then hubby had the surf n turf and I had the lamb Rendang. Everything was so flavoursome, cooked to perfection and was heaven on a plate. Always a friendly atmosphere, staff can’t do enough for you, chef Anne & Bruce you are just unique and we are in awe of your delicious food. Masterchef cooks don’t have a look in. We wish you well in your retirement and pray & hope that you’ll continue in some shape or form after a long well earned break - pop up kitchens; special occasions; cook school - Angela & Douglas
07/08/2019: Maybe best restaurant in outer hebrides .... The problem is just the opening of the times but otherwise they are perfect.They are expensive but it is the quality of food.The only problem is the wine list and beer selection [ level in a worse restaurant ] . I expected that the quality of the food will be better beer quality than in the pub on the corner or on the second dinner I had to choose between Chile and USA wine and from Europe there were only sewage or even worse Romanian waste and it surprised me a lot at such a best restaurant so it probably takes points to be the best.I tried to talk to the owner but it didn't help,sadly but still I felt pleasant there.

Harbour Kitchen
Steòrnabhagh a Deas, Eilean Siar
21/10/2020: We visited last month as a group of four visiting the Outer Hebrides. Followed the good reviews on TripAdvisor for this restaurant and weren’t disappointed. A lovely meal with excellent attentive service. The restaurant felt very safe in these difficult times.
Strongly recommend!
05/10/2020: We came here for a girls night out! I hadn’t seen my friend for nearly 12 months and I am so glad we went to harbour kitchen. The greeting was fabulous we were made to feel warm and relaxed as soon as we walked in so thank you Debbie for that. Debbie then briefed us about their Covid policy and guidelines which were clear and put me at ease with everything going on. The menu..... wow ! as a bit of a foodie the menu was amazing, choice was fantastic and to find out the food was freshly caught that morning was amazing as it’s hard to find places that do that anymore. Needless to say I think we all got to excited and pretty much ordered the menu hehe but it didn’t disappoint. The waitresses were so friendly and polite so a big thank you to Shannon, Debbie and Emma for being so lovely it really made the evening. So just a big thank you and I can’t wait to come back

Wobbly Dog of Lewis
An Taobh Siar agus Nis, Eilean Siar
20/09/2023: Great little place. Dog friendly, the people running the place spoiled the dogs rotten! Lovely people, fine soup and a roll and amazing Victoria sponge cake. None finer I would argue.
Highly highly recommended.
09/09/2023: Fascinating stopping place in the north of Lewis with interesting memorabilia
Great coffee and the beat cake on the island.

Sam's Seafood Shack
Na Hearadh agus Ceann a Deas nan Loch, Eilean Siar
06/06/2023: 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!
21/04/2022: Don’t know if this place is seasonal but I drove miles to try the place out on the recommendations on here and the van was there but it was all closed up! When I checked it seemed to indicate the hours were 12-6 and there was no mention of it only being open at certain times of the year……

Flavour
Na Hearadh agus Ceann a Deas nan Loch, Eilean Siar
05/05/2021: We wanted to celebrate our Mother’s birthday in style so asked Chris to come to our Airbnb and cook a meal.The trouble is he didn’t. He created an absolute masterpiece!Working with his fantastic assistant Willie, Chris produced a 7 course feast of the most amazing food.I could try and describe it all but all the best thing I can do on this review is urge you to visit Chris’s restaurant, Flavour, when it opens after lockdown.His use of local ingredients as well as wild produce is sensational and I would defy anyone not to love what he creates.Thank you so much Chris and good luck to you and Nicola with your impending new arrival!
05/05/2021: Chris and his team blew us away with this experience, from start to finish every course was beautiful - some great local produce cooked perfectly. Chris accommodated last minute changes and genuinely wanted us to have a great night. Could not recommend Chris enough - the best meal on Harris by far! Thank you Chris & Nicola for a great night!

Comunn Eachdraidh Nis
An Taobh Siar agus Nis, Eilean Siar
06/10/2023: Went in today for lunch and had Hot dog & toastie with fries with tea. The staff are warm and friendly.... efficient and the food was spot on. Credit to the community. Wonderful gem of a place. Highly recommended. Beautiful museum and very informative.
05/10/2023: Fabulous cafe menu - unfortunately we were tight for time so had gorgeous take away lunches for our ferry crossing. The museum was interesting and well presented in a light airy modern building. All staff at the museum and cafe were very friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Lorna's Larder
Na Hearadh agus Ceann a Deas nan Loch, Eilean Siar
16/02/2024: Fantastic takeaway in a lovely setting. Enjoyed our takeaway dinner sitting on a bench looking out over Tarbert Harbour in Harris.
We had the Taster Box (monkfish scampi, haddock, scallops, prawns and more) and the Harris Burger (which also had haggis on it)…everything was delicious!!!
04/11/2023: The best takeaway we've had ever. Super fresh haddock goujons, scallops, prawns, monkfish. Perfectly cooked. Lovely friendly people. I'm seriously thinking of using the ferry from Uig frequently just to visit this amazing takeaway. I'll be back !

The Scallop Shack
Sgir'Uige agus Ceann a Tuath nan Loch, Eilean Siar
17/10/2020: This place is definitely worth a visit!The scallops were lovely and fresh and the honesty box is heart warming. There are two fridges. One for pre-orders and another stocked with a variety of scallops and oysters. Would recommend doing the nearby circular scenic drive to Kneep Beach. Such a stunning beach!
12/10/2020: a selfservice honesty box shop for VERY fresh seafood! scallops mainly but not exclusively - walk in and have a look! a place to visit while around!!!!

Taste n' Sea
Na Hearadh agus Ceann a Deas nan Loch, Eilean Siar
04/11/2019: Food van but no ordinary food van. A wonderfully fresh fish experience. On a freezing cold drive we stopped here for the box of seafood special and titbits for the kids.
Outstanding quality, we really enjoyed it.
17/10/2019: We have driven passed here numerous times from Scarista to Stornoway and back but it’s never been the right time or the weather to stop until today. Just wish we had made time before as it was great! We both had the squat lobster scampi, French fries and salad. All were beautifully prepared and cooked while we waited. When we returned out empty containers I said we would definitely be back.

Cafe Roo
Sgire an Rubha, Eilean Siar
01/10/2019: We’ve been in a few times this past month. The most recent we had lunch: home made soup, toasties and fish’n’chips. Excellent value and really tasty. A superb community shop and service in the old school house at Knock
10/05/2019: All the staff in this wonderful community store and cafe are welcoming and kind.
The food, cakes and hot drinks are top quality.
If you’re passing it’s a great place to stop and fuel up and have a friendly chat...and support the local community too.

Mollans Rainbow Shed
An Taobh Siar agus Nis, Eilean Siar
25/08/2023: Great little takeaway in the village of Shawbost. Very useful online booking service which means your food is freshly cooked and piping hot. The fish was delicious with a really light, crispy batter, the chips were perfectly cooked and the goose burger (yes you read that right!) was very tasty with a lovely red onion chutney on top of it.
Very friendly welcome and there appears to be a small area you can sit and have something to eat too.
Big portions as well! Definitely value for money.
09/08/2023: Great welcoming atmosphere and delicious food! The owners were very helpful when asked for help. we had a chocolate brownie and some bread and butter pudding, they were excellent value for money and delicious! Would definitely recommend going here!

Stornoway Fish Smoker
Steòrnabhagh a Deas, Eilean Siar
21/12/2019: Lovely smoked produce in the shop. I did not have time to see the operation but quality of fish when I tried on my return home was superb. Biggest surprise a wonderful smoked cheese
22/07/2019: We got kippers from the famous Stornoway Smokehouse for our Sunday breakfast which we did at our self-catering hotel - and they were really fantastic! The place itself is very interesting, and the wonderful owners can tell you all sorts of details on its history and on fish in general.

The Wee Cottage Kitchen
Beinn na Foghla agus Uibhist a Tuath, Eilean Siar
31/08/2023: Stunning! Unbelievable scenery matched only by the Uist lobster rolls. Delicious! Bench Seating to sit and enjoy both scenery and lobster.
29/08/2023: Came across this by chance. Busy so given a bleeper that flashed when lunch was ready. Delicious crab roll, and smoked salmon and cream cheese panini, with americanos with soya milk. Very tasty. We ate it in the car as it was very windy.
