Loch Bay

Top choice in Skye


This cosy farmhouse kitchen of a place, with terracotta tiles and a wood-burning stove, is one of Skye’s most romantic restaurants and was awarded a Michelin star in 2018. The menu includes most things that swim in the sea or live in a shell, but there are non-seafood choices too. Best to book ahead.
