Following positive reviews on Trip Advisor, we booked for a meal here while on holiday. This was one of the BEST meals I have had, anywhere in the world, in recent years. I started with the cheese soufflé which was absolutely out of this world. The flavour was delicious, the texture super light and the chilli cream sauce a beautiful accompaniment. My companions thoroughly enjoyed their chanterelles on toast too. A beautiful steak followed with french fries, mushrooms and tomatoes. Other dishes which delighted were the confit duck with hoi sin sauce and pancakes and sausages too. Desserts were of an equally high standard too. Iâd recommend the chocolate pot which was one of the best Iâve ever had. Service was attentive but not intrusive and Ian, the owner, was a great host. This gem of a restaurant is small and intimate but the standard of food was better than that of an establishment in a major city; if you are in the Bonar Bridge area, eating here is an absolute must and for us, provided a cherry on the top of our wonderful holiday in the area.Wow! Thank you for your super review! So pleased you enjoyed your holiday in the far north and especially your evening at the Crannag. Our cheese soufflé is very popular and a little bit different. The ambiance at the Crannag is enhanced when lovely people come in to enjoy themselves, and it was a pleasure to serve you. Hope to see you again next time you visit this beautiful part of the world.

This is a very disappointing experience! Pleasant decor , pleasant staff , and good tourist information leaflets but those are the only positive points . Very dull menu , very poor quality frozen/microwaved food . Horrible cheap oil smell and taste and it wasn't particularly cheap either - certainly there is at least one better place to eat in Lairg

At the end of a very long day, was looking forward to eating in this restaurant. Had booked some months before and was advised to book for the 6pm or 8pm sitting. We booked for the 8pm sitting. expecting a lot of people there. The wait after we arrived was long and when we were eventually shown to the restaurant, (circa 45 mins after 8pm, there were just 2 other people in the place. We eventually ate our meal after 9pm. £16 for a small piece of salmon and literally 3 carrots and 3 asparagus spears, (peas were advertised, but they did not have, so said they had put extra veg on the plate!!!!) was not good value for money. This meal was the biggest disappointment of the holiday. We did not hang around for desert.

M&W is all about great natural produce, simply cooked & enjoyed in a relaxed setting. We are blessed locally with a natural larder to rival anywhere in the world. During the 2019 season, our food & drink offering will change throughout the week to reflect

As one goes further north in Scotland, two things happen to the coffee. It gets weaker, and it gets hotter. (There are exceptions, such as the excellent Slaughterhouse Coffee in Cromarty.) Despite looking somewhat nice, Mac and Wild place obeys the rule and serves pathetically weak and scalding hot "flat whites" at inflated prices. Over £6 for a coffee and a bland, sugary tray-bake. They should spend less time on appearance and more time on the actual food and drink.

Small Highland Sporting Hotel Open To The General Public All Year Serving Freshly Prepared Bar Meals Lunchtime And Evening With Cask Ales And A Large Selection Of Malt Whisky
Reviewed By Squonk88
Staying nearby and visited on two consecutive nights for dinner. Menu is mostly your basic bar meals, but very good quality, well cooked, huge portions and excellent value. Just what's required after a long day in the hills or out on the water. Service was very quick and staff very friendly, polite and helpful. Choice of two well-kept hand-pumped ales too, as well as your usual drinks selection.As has been mentioned in other reviews this place is in a remote location and somewhat off the beaten track, but it's definitely worth making the effort to find.thank you for your kind words

What a surprise this wonderful little restaurant turned out to be. We arrived into Lairg late (7pm) on a Saturday and everything seemed closed for the night. The Pier was open so off we went - not expecting much from anything in this quaint but sleepy little town. Boy were we surprised. Everything from the friendly staff attending to the delicious meals we were served was a pleasant surprise. They had a good selection of tap beers and a varied menu that should suffice for all tastes. If youâre fortunate to be there at sunset the view from the back patio is fantastic.
1. The Whale Tale

The Whale Tale is a wee cosy Restaurant on the west coast of Scotland surrounded by ocean, lochs and mountains, situated in the middle of NC500 route.
Reviewed By pauldwit
My wife and I chanced upon the Whale Tale by complete chance whilst staying at the Scourie campsite (which is excellent). Weâve traveled a lot and eaten at many fine restaurants with famous chefs and impressive reputations. Without doubt the food at the Whale Tale is quite simply sensational. If youâve eaten at the Witchery in Edinburgh or the Three Chimneys in Skye then expect a similar taste sensation here. For starters We had a superb Cullen Skink with the right balance of smokiness of the fish and creaminess and delicacy of the soup needed, with the other other starter a lemon soul ceviche which was as fresh as it was zesty. Mains were perfectly delicate sea bream and a punchy, melt in the mouth venison main. The couple who run this hidden gem hail from the Czech Republic have created a relaxed, inviting atmosphere and deserve all the success and accolades that will doubtless come. At the moment they donât have a license which means itâs BYOB, however thatâs no big deal as the food is the star here. Whether youâre doing the Nc500 or are in the area, you simply have to go here. Weâre planning our return already
