Reviews Edinbane Lodge Restaurant

For the restaurant only. Had the tasting menu for dinner. Every main dish was so perfect. The missing one star is for the desserts. The flavors for all 3 desserts are quite weird. Also, it would be better if the crackers can be less oily. And it would be nice if not followed with fried oysters, as both are fried, and can be too oily.

Did not stay at hotel. Booked for lunch. We had the four course taster menu. The fish courses, selection of breads and pudding were really exceptional. Excellent wines by the glass. However, have deducted one star for the wagyu beef dish: two out of four diners had chewy sinew running through their meat.

The coffee is the only deal breaker. Reading this fantastic menu and it wraps up with Teamed up with Nespresso. I heard the sound of Pac-Man being eaten in the video game…. I understand the need for repeatable coffee, but pod coffee to me is unacceptable if you are striving to be the best at something. Too many fantastic local roasters and choice beans to Choose from. So the challenge is, getting staff trained on how to properly extract it. Do it…. Everything else is lovely! Excellent staff, fun small bites dinner with a great wine pairing. What all the rest of the reviews say. Room was great. Breakfast seating area needs work. Super not cozy. But thats just getting picky. They are trying! 👍

This tasting menu was our favorite meal during our entire 4-week honeymoon. Each course was delicious, there was a menu detailing where everything was sourced from locally, and it was fascinating to learn about their young apprentice chef who designed the incredible dessert dishes. Highly recommend!!

Fabulous lunch. We had the 6 course tasting menu, worth every penny. The recently awarded scottish restaurant of the year 2023 is well deserved. Would highly recommend booking here. One of our party is gf, the homemade breads were the best ever

Restaurant Only: We didn't stay at the lodge. #TLDR: The best dining experience I've had anywhere. A week later, my wife and I are still talking about it. We even ate at a AA 3-Rosette restaurant with a similar tasting menu the following evening. Everything they prepared for us was excellent, but none of it as good as what we had at Edinbane Lodge. That's all I'll say about the other place. I just want to emphasize how perfectly presented everything we had from them was. Edinbane's menu told a single story. Everything we ate that night was obtained locally; most within just a few miles and some from the grounds of the lodge. The food was "simple" in that none of the offerings contained more than a handful of ingredients, but those ingredients were used to perfection. Our menu had 2 mains: Monkfish and Lamb. 1) A well-prepared piece of lamb is delicious. This was incredible. Served 2 ways - one was a shoulder in a pastry basket (please forgive me, I am not a gourmet). The flavor from that was explosive. It is the only way I can describe it. Imagine food fireworks going off in your mouth and you're getting close. 2) Monkfish is a mild, whitefish. One bite told me I was eating the best monkfish I would ever have. I couldn't help but imagine the chef obsessing over every piece individually. I don't know for sure that's what was happening, but I don't know how else you make everything this perfect. I could write pages about our experience, but no one would want to read that much that hadn't already been. One last example of simple made perfection: Celery sorbet. You read that right. It wasn't a bad autocorrect. Words won't do it justice. Imaging what those 2 words put together would taste like would at best be a disappointment. It was bright and clean. It was wonderful and was presented with their interpretation of "cheese and crackers." This is such an inadequate reduction of what was sitting on that plate that I expect the authorities to show up at my door as soon as I hit "post." If you have any opportunity to visit this place before their wait list extends into the next decade, you owe it to yourself to go. It is not cheap, but it is underpriced for what you get. We will go back any time we're able. Thank you!

The menu was a fantastic range to sample. The oysters and mushroom crackers were a particular favourite. The staff were knowledgeable and polite. We met one of the chefs Andrew who was extremely charming.

We were densely impressed by the hospitality here. The team was friendly and we had a very good chat. The meals were wonderful and the service was sincere. Will definitely recommend to my friends who are visiting the Isle of Skye!

We stayed here for a night and booked the dinner as well. Everything is perfect. The rooms are very modern and staff is super friendly. The tasting menu is amazing!!!
