Shorehouse Seafood Restaurant

Top choice in North & West Coast


By the ferry pier for Handa Island Nature Reserve, Shorehouse is a restaurant and cafe in a lovely setting, looking across the sound to the sandy beach on Handa Island. There's a conservatory and outdoor terrace that make the most of the view, and a menu that concentrates on local seafood including crab and prawn salads and Achiltibuie smoked salmon.
