Stopped in for late lunch / early dinner before heading to the airport. One of the party was gluten free and although there was nothing on the menu they put something together with gluten free bread.
Food was very tasty with a good selection. Nice surroundings and service was friendly enough. Would definitely visit again if in Stornoway

This is a fantastic little Thai Restaurant in the centre of Stornoway serving very good Thai food. We chose the set dinner menu which was excellent value and all the dishes were made with fresh ingredients and were light and delicately flavoured. I would also commend serving staff who were was absolutely excellent and I would definitely highly recommend and use this excellent restaurant again.

We had a 3 course meal at lunchtime and it was excellent, right amount on your plate so you didn't feel that you had eaten too much. Good choice on the menu. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

We used The Boatshed Restaurant while staying on the Royal Hotel in Stornoway. The food and service is EXCELLENT. We ate both breakfast and dinner here. Breakfast has wonderful options, but one MUST go for the Stornoway Kipper, which is unlike any other kipper you will eat! I have attached an image here. We also ate dinner here, which was equally scrumptious, and one MUST go for the seafood, although the pork belly was cooked to perfection as well. I heartily recommend this restaurant for its excellent food and its warm service.

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at HS-1. It was very reasonably priced and good quality ingredients were used. It is obviously a bit with locals and tourists alike as you have to either wait or book..no bad thing! The waitress we had was lovely and very cheerful. Some of the younger "hipster" waiters could do with a bit of a session at charm school but hey their "lads"...deffo a place to eat whilst visiting Stornoway or the Isle of Lewis!

This is a very good café for a light lunch or Coffee and Scones. The café is beautifully situated in the grounds of Lews Castle and we found the food to be very good quality and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend after a visit to the museum at Lews Castle.
8. Solas Restaurant

We had another excellent meal in the lovely surroundings. They seem to have got over the conservatory being sometimes chilly. From the set menu we had a duo of salmon which was a tasty and elegant combination of pate and smoked salmon. For mains the roast and a venison burger. My only criticism would be that if you are weight watching then there are no obviously lower calorie options. Culturally on the Islands good food is seen as large portions so we get what we ask for I guess.

All the usual things plus a few surprising extras on the menu here such as haggis and black pudding pakoras! My madras with salmon and prawns was delicious as was the Bombay aloo. Friendly service...a good place to eat in comfortable surroundings.

Went for lunch with two colleagues from work, we all had the carvery. Beautifully cooked beef, lovely vegetables. The choice wasn’t massive but the quality more than made up for it, and the roast potatoes were gorgeous! Being a Yorkshireman I was disappointed that there was no Yorkshire pud but you can’t have everything! Definitely be back!
