Best Tasting Menus in Isle of Skye

Coruisk House

Deep wine list

A five-bedroom retreat at the remote south-western tip of Skye, Coruisk House serves a daily-changing five-course set dinner drawing on Hebridean shellfish, island lamb, and foraged produce from the surrounding landscape. Open to residents and non-residents alike, it occupies a category of its own on the island: part hotel, part serious dining room, connected to the wild terrain that stocks its kitchen.

Edinbane Lodge

A converted 16th-century hunting lodge in the hamlet of Edinbane, Edinbane Lodge holds four AA rosettes, the first establishment in the Scottish Highlands to achieve that rating, alongside a Michelin Plate and 89.5 points in La Liste 2025. Chef-patron Calum Montgomery's ten-course tasting menu maps the island's producers with unusual precision, from hand-dived scallops to foraged botanicals sourced steps from the kitchen.

Kinloch Lodge

Kinloch Lodge on the Isle of Skye carries a 2025 Opinionated About Dining Classical in Europe ranking alongside chef Marcello Tully's Modern Scottish kitchen, placing it among the island's most consistently recognised dining destinations. The lodge format, remote, residential, rooted in Highland hospitality, suits long weekend stays where dinner is the evening's anchor.

Loch Bay

1 Michelin star

Loch Bay transforms a historic crofter's cottage into the Isle of Skye's most intimate fine dining destination, where Chef Michael Smith crafts Franco-Scottish cuisine using seafood landed at the jetty opposite his six-table restaurant on the dramatic Waternish Peninsula.

Scorrybreac

A small, simply furnished room on Portree's hillside, Scorrybreac holds back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition for modern cooking that draws directly from the Isle of Skye's hills and harbour. Sharing plates built around local meats and seafood sit alongside mountain views through the window. At the £££ price point, it occupies a considered middle tier among the island's handful of serious kitchens.

The Dunvegan

An Argentinian fire restaurant on the shores of Loch Dunvegan, The Dunvegan fuses asado technique with Hebridean produce, langoustines, Highland hogget, and six-week aged rump cooked over wood and charcoal. Dinner runs to structured three- and five-course menus; lunch is walk-in only and seats fill fast. Book well ahead for evenings.

The Three Chimneys at Talisker

Positioned on the edge of Loch Harport with the Talisker distillery as a near neighbour, this western Skye restaurant builds its menu around the island's seafood, local venison, and traditional Scottish preparations. The proximity to Talisker is written into the food itself: a dram poured over freshly shucked oysters is among the more direct expressions of terroir-driven cooking in Scotland.

Three Chimneys & The House Over-By

Deep wine list

A whitewashed crofter's cottage on the shores of Loch Dunvegan, Three Chimneys has anchored fine dining on the Isle of Skye since the mid-1980s. Its Michelin Plate recognition and a 2003 World's 50 Best ranking at number 32 confirm its place among Britain's most seriously regarded remote dining rooms. The kitchen draws hard on local seafood, Highland game, and foraged ingredients, with overnight rooms in The House Over-By completing the proposition.
