Often when visitors come to stay at our house in Achiltibuie they ask for recommendations of local restaurants and cafes to eat at. Holidaymakers have listed their favourites in our visitors book but I thought I would try to collate some of these listings in one place (with the relevant links where I can find them).
High end dining:
The Summer Isles Hotel, Achiltibuie
General restaurants, cafes & pub meals:
Caberfeidh Restaurant, Lochinver
Dal na Mara cafe, Ullapool – no website. Tea house on the front.
Jade House, (Chinese takeaway) Ullapool
Jasmine India, (Indian takeaway) Ullapool
Mountain Supplies Cafe, Ullapool – no website, in the Mountain Supplies shop
Summer Isles Hotel Bar, Achiltibuie
This list is not meant to be a recommendation. Please could anyone visiting any of these restaurants leave their comments in the comments field below. At some stage in the future I will use these comments to make a recommended list.
Also, if there are any good restaurants or cafes that you come across which are not on this list, please list in the comments. I will add them to the main post.
To clarify this post. We have only personally eaten at The Summer Isles Hotel & Bar; The Fuaran; The Ceilidh Place; The Seaforth; The Morefield & the Lochinver Larder – all of which were great & I would recommend.
Please add your own tips or ratings for restaurants in this thread.
Also, a message to any of the business owners listed here. Please feel free to write a little more about your restaurant/pub/cafe. Just make sure that you post openly as the owner so that readers understand your interest.

Hi Russell,
I haven’t been to the Village Green cafe but it sounds fantastic. We’ll make sure to visit next time we’re up.
Any others that I have left off the list?
Feel free to add in the comments.
Rory.
