Iona At Toravaig House

We arrived without a reservation and we were warmly greeting and treated like family. The food selection was good and very tasty.

The food is excellent quality, local provenance and great cooking, an absolute pleasure!! You have to try it, talk to Adam, he'll help you make the right choices for you.

In search for a great culinary experience, this restaurant did not disappoint. We enjoyed the fantastic chef's tasting menu boasting michelin star-worthy dishes from locally sourced produce. All accompanied by a fantastic service.

Had an evening meal here whilst staying in a local B&B. Menu is above average in cost but the food was excellent and the surroundings were really nice making it worth the additional cost. We had lamb and cod followed by apricot pudding and raspberry panna cota. Portions are not too large so you can eat several courses without feeling too full. This is important as the desserts are excellent and not to be missed.

The Iona Restaurant, a small dining room in the Toravaig House Hotel, is very nice and elegant with delicious food, excellent service, and a nice view but a little overpriced. We had very nice bread rolls and two magnificent appetizers (scallops and roasted breast of grouse with a few vegetables and berries), followed by excellent venison steak for each of us which was perfectly accompanied by an Argentinian Malbec wine. For dessert we shared a chocolate torte with white chocolate ice cream.

Stayed in the Hotel, and ate 2 dinners and 1 breakfast. Shocked at some of the other reviews, if you don't want fine dining, don't go to a place that serves fine food. There are a lot of average, places to eat, this place isn't one of them. Food, presentation, were incredible. Only knock, is there aren't a huge selection, of entrees. Enough, but maybe 4. I had the Sirloin, done to perfection, as well as my wife. The best thing were the Haggis Bon Bons. Chefs attempt to get Haggis to the masses, even my wife ate one. The Haggis is excellent as well, as I had it for breakfast as well.

We visited as a group of six (4 adults and 2 children a super friendly welcome. The staff couldn't have been nicer and made my 2 daughters feel very special. Every course was simply divine. My favourite was the crab risotto. So many complaints about the price!!! If you want microwave fish chips and peas then go for a pub lunch. If you want freshly prepared food to die for, cooked by a top chef, and professional silver service waitresses who make you feel like a valued customer from the moment you step through the door to the time you leave, then please expect to pay a bit more. Highly recommended for that extra special evening out.

This was an interesting experience. Before dinner you are asked to come into the lounge and have a pre dinner drink if you like (not compulsory). You are given the dinner menu and wine list. You are served a pre dinner amuse bouche, then asked what you would like to eat for entree, main and desert. Also what wine you would like for each course. Once completing step 1 you can enter the restaurant proper. After being seated entree comes within seconds. Some time later your first wine arrives (in our case after we finished the entire). We had crab and I think the one crab supplied the whole restaurant I. E. It was a very small serve. There is a pleasant, but unnecessary palate cleanser served,...

We stayed at Toravaig house for 2 nights, dined in the restaurant once, and breakfast twice. First, the place is decorated very elegantly, yet comfortable. The colors are very relaxing and enjoyable. The staff is equally warm, friendly, professional, and work together very well. I am lactose intolerant, so we always have to work around this issue and some places are willing to work with, and others not so much. I'm thrilled to say that the chef at Iona restaurant will go above and beyond to make your dining experience amazing! My starter, a baitfish, was delicious and required no changes. The next course however was a cream soup. I was all ready to skip this, and wasn't upset because hey, th...
