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.

We had a fantastic dinner with delicious local cheese, cured meats, and bread, all paired perfectly with a wonderful wine. Thank you so much for the amazing meal.

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. View menu

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.

We dined at this restaurant to celebrate the end of our Scottish vacation, marking our joint 60th birthdays. We had stayed here 10 years ago, and the experience was just as exquisite. The food was of high quality, as one would anticipate from a fine dining establishment. While there may be discussions about the pricing, it was a wonderful way for us to savor a special meal. This is not the place for large portions or a budget-friendly menu, but rather a unique dining experience.

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. View menu

We stayed at this hotel for three nights and had breakfast and dinner there three times. While the food was mostly tasty, the portions were very small and the dinners were quite expensive. The staff were friendly and helpful, but they had no control over the portion sizes or preparation of the food. I understand that they may be trying to make up for lost business due to Covid, but I wish they hadn't tried to do it all at once. If you are looking for value, this may not be the place for you as the food was not visually appealing enough to justify the price.

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.

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,... View menu
