Dinner only-
What an amazing experience from start to finish! We were greeted warmly at the door and were taken care of so wonderfully the entire time. We enjoyed the tasing menu with friends in celebration of my husbands birthday and it will be one of the most memorable meals of our lives. Each course was carefully presented and we enjoyed the wine pairings as well. Cocktails were on point and Alan didn’t miss a beat with our crazy groups requests.
We can’t wait to return to Skye again and maybe next time we will stay at the lodge.

Review for restaurant only.

My partner and I recently ate at the restaurant during our recent trip to Skye, booking the tasting menu as a special meal for our first night. Given the raving reviews we were of course very excited to be dining there. Unfortunately we didn’t share the same experience as others. While the ambiance and service was good, the meal was pretty mediocre, particularly considering its price tag. This is not our first fine dining and we had certain expectations. We don’t often spend that much for food, but are happy to do so for a great meal. The starters were very heavy on butter with other flavours missing, the third course was a plate of bread that was much larger than you’d need, the main course (beef) was overcooked and tough, and the whole meal didn’t have any vegetables. The last three courses of the tasting menu were all deserts, including a small slice of Brie that was fridge temperature. Overall, it was very disappointing and we were able to eat better food in another restaurant on the island for a quarter of the price.

Quite likely the best meal we've ever had. Every dish was a work of art, and the flavors were out of this world - you could tell there was a lot of care and thoughtfulness that went into each dish. Very friendly and professional service. We will definitely recommend Edinbane Lodge to any friends visiting the highlands.
