We called in for lunch having prebooked (which is advisable). The restaurant was busy, and whilst our order was taken promptly by a very good hostess/waitress, we had to wait around 40 minutes for our food to arrive. The kitchen is small and only staffed by one person as far as we could see, and this limits the speed of output if it is busy. We had a main course and dessert. Beef blade as a main course was very tasty, and the burgers are of a good quality, but only a meagre serving of chips was forthcoming. The lack of green vegetables was a disadvantage. Belgium chocolate mousse as a dessert was good, but overpriced. There is a good selection of local beers and also a wine list/menu, but all drinks are expensive.

Me and several friends visited No 1 for a Christmas meal recently and it was superb. The food was excellent with the most amazing slow roasted pork belly I have ever tasted. The staff were friendly and easy-going without being formal which was pleasant. I was a actually pleasantly surprised at the place and would definitely go back.

This is a seafood restaurant but with great vegetarian and vegan options.The veg options are tasty, imaginative and nutritionally balanced, which as any vegetarian will know, is a rare thing. The service is friendly and efficient, the location is great, right on the harbourside. It is excellent value for money, but make sure you book in advance.

Venue - the restaurant is tiny, only 18 seats. They seem to do at least 2 sittings per table - which I imagine you have to in order to make a profit with such a small place. As such if you arrive early you will be left in the small vestibule until your table is ready as there is simply not room inside to wait.Menu - it is a set menu, 3 courses with 3 choices for each. Given the small number of tables this is logical. If you are fussy about things it might be best to go elsewhere. There is a sample menu on the website to give you an idea what may be served.Food - we though the food was excellent, great flavours and well cooked and presented. There have been comments about the portion size - I thought the were fine for a 3 course meal.Service - Good if a bit automatic. When we ate there were two other couples who arrived about the same time and we were all next to each other - so we heard the same word perfect statements on presentation and removal of each course 3 times. The food came at a reasonable pace - we did not feel rushed.Cost - it is not cheap, 48 pounds each plus drinks. However I didnât think it was unreasonable for the quality.Parking - Some one mentioned the lack of parking - it is a tiny restaurant in the middle of a small village so you cannot expect parking by the door. There is free public parking 5 to 10 minutes walk away, or a taxi from any of the local B&Bs should be less than 5 pounds.

If the name conjures up thoughts of a somewhat seedy, fishermanâs drinking pub smelling of fish, immediately banish them. For a start, itâs on the opposite side of the small bay from where the Western Isles ferry leaves, but more to the point as soon as you walk in you sense you are somewhere special. The decor, the attention to detail, and the cleanliness are second to none. There are only four rooms, and ours was spacious with high class modern facilities, eg a large rainfall shower. The food is outstanding. My only picky observation is that the dinner menu has only four main course choices and doesnât vary through the week although there is also a special at weekends, so if you are staying a while, as we were, you may run out of options. But enough of that, itâs well presented food by excellent attentive staff, and the breakfasts are excellent. The restaurant, comfy lounge and enticing bar are downstairs, where you will also find the helpful and friendly (although he will deny it) host. Parking is right at the door. There isnât much to Uig but if you really want shopping try Glasgow. The scenery is utterly superb and there are great walks, all you have to hope for is good weather. Just go. But remember, Skye is a huge island so you need to think about your itinerary and not be too ambitious otherwise you wonât get out of your car.

Due to the rating on tripadvisor we thought we would give this place a try when passing. We ordered tomato and basil soup with home-bread bread, followed by nougat cake and tiffin. The soup was hot and delicious and the home-bread was soft and dreamy which is exactly what was needed when it was raining outside. Both cakes were made with dark chocolate, very rich but incredible tasty! Inside there is a collection of artwork on sale which is interesting to look at, there were only 3 tables and a weaving machine, the owner does say if you wish a demonstration on how to weave this could be arranged. In the cafe beside the menu, Ellishadder Art Cafe explains how it started and how they grow a lot of the ingredients used which is very inspiring. This is a lovely little place which is worth a visit.

I can't remember when I last enjoyed a meal as much. Everything about this lunch was perfect. Mid week, mid October, wet and windy outside. But inside is a little gourmet haven which you honestly wouldn't expect to find in quite such a remote location. It is so relaxed, no stuffiness at all. Everyone chatting and clearly having fun. Excellent service and brilliant food. It's rare to eat a meal where every course is of the same high standard and every element on every plate is equally successful and delicious.I take my hat off to the chef and thank him for giving me and my husband such a memorable experience. Now all I have to persuade him to do is to give me the recipe for clootie dumpling...!
