This island restaurant offers a seafood meal to remember. Their tanks are stocked with everything from scallops to lobsters and sea urchins, which make it onto their 'Meteorological Menu', supplemented by foraged seaweed, home-smoked salmon and microherbs. It's in a lovely glass-fronted building on the island's shoreline; the 25-minute boat trip is included, leaving at 6pm and returning at 10.30pm.

Don't miss chef Alf Roald's famous shellfish talk, which tells the restaurant's story and explains some of the species you're about to find on your plate.
