Incredibly Tasty Food, Lovely Service, Great Atmosphere

We had heard of this place long before we went on the trip, and made reservations for lunch to save money, as it is expensive. But it is worth the price! We came a little early for our reservation, but had no problem waiting for a while. It is set on a lovely little area in Skye with a beautiful view of the bay, and a blackhouse museum next door.

When we were shown to our table, we were a little nervous as none of us had a lot of experience with high level dining, but the staff made us feel at home. They weren't over-solicitous or snobby, and they were always there with what we wanted or needed.

For starters we had the seafood bisque, fennel soup (bright green!) and roast pigeon. For lunch itself I had the roast lamb, which was lightly drizzled with a wonderfully savory/sweet sauce. Dessert was a simply melt-in-your-mouth lemon sorbet parfait. I also had a glass of tawny port, while K and C made the mistake of ordering the Gaelic coffee. I think they expected something sweet, like a latte – but it was not! C tried to sweeten it up by adding a piece of fudge (very sugary fudge) served with the coffee, but it didn’t help. Hey, it was worth a try!

All the food was beautifully presented and incredibly tasty without being too much. the sauces were perfection, and that parfait was to die for. We were well sated and very happy when we left!

The Three Chimneys Restaurant

This tiny crofter's cottage at the end of a single track road in the middle of nowhere and a flock of sheep is touted as being one of the finest restaurants in all of Scotland. The meal we had at Three Chimneys ranks as one of the best of my life. It was the perfect combination of delicious food, great friends, superior wine, all in a remote and beautiful location. The menus are planned around whatever is fresh and good that day. Our meal included "squatties". Squatties are tasty tiny lobsters once considered a fishnet nuisance by the local fisherman. Difficult to get to but well worth the effort, make sure when you visit the Three Chimneys you save room for dessert!
