The Three Chimneys

A visit to this delightful property will make a trip to Skye even more memorable. Housed within the stone walls of an original crofter's cottage, close to the shores of Loch Dunvegan, this magical little restaurant is set in glorious wilderness, nestled between the hills and the sea. The whitewashed building's interconnecting rooms pick up on the natural theme to create a feeling of chic simplicity. Take the candlelit restaurant's bare stone walls, low ceilings and polished-wood tables, with their slate tablemats and high-backed chairs. It's intimate and cosy, while service is suitably relaxed and friendly, but professional and well informed. As you'd expect, the menus change daily to make the best of the abundant local larder, with seafood a highlight. Superb quality produce is simply cooked to let the freshness and quality shine through. The finely-tuned style marries traditional Scottish ideas with a more modern approach, delivering skilful combinations and clean, crisp flavours - as in Loch Dunvegan langoustines with organic leaves and lemon and olive oil vinaigrette, or pan-fried monkfish and Sconser scallops with root dauphinoise, purple sprouting broccoli and claret jus. For dessert, succumb to the temptations of hot marmalade pudding with Drambuie custard. Add an impressive wine list and fantastic views that money can't buy, and a walk along the loch to see the seals is a must.
