North Harbour Bistro Tearoom

I can only imagine how rewarding it must be to create beautiful dishes with fresh ingredients. This could be a great dining experience as long as you keep your head down and don’t annoy the chef!

Quite simply one of the best seafood restaurants I have been to and I 've been to several all over the world! The outside of the building isn 't much to look at but by 'eck there 's magic inside! Highly recommended if you can get a reservation

A magnificent meal from George, again, and a superb welcome from the team, again. I had the signature monkfish with curry sauce, both puddings were magnificent and all the vegetarian dishes for my vegetarian partner were stupendous. This is one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten in. We will certainly be back. View menu

A fantastic meal and beautifully presented. We visited in April shortly after they had re opened . The food was some of the best I have ever had. The presentation was lovely but the taste was sublime. The staff were really friendly and made the whole experience really nice. If I lived locally I would make this a regular.

What a fantastic place, the sea food is superb, service second to none. We ate here twice during our stay on Harris and both times it was fabulous. Don’t be fooled by the outside you will not find better food in a Michelin stared restaurant, the chef is a very talented cook If you are on Harris this place is an absolute must.

What a contrast, between an uninspiring exterior and a cosy interior with views across the loch and simply amazing food. We went for dinner, both had starters and mains and it was seafood to die for. No need to desiccate the menu: everything was tops. I love seafood and this was possibly the best meal I've ever had. Well worth the trip across to Scalpay. View menu

Love this place. Discovered it in 2022 when looking for somewhere to go with our puppy. He’s now been three times. We loved it so much we went back a second time the same week in ‘22. We immediately booked to go back when returning in summer 23. 2 lunches and one dinner so far. The food is close to Michelin star level for me. Loved it. Well worth venturing along the road to Scalpay to find. A scenic drive to boot.

A very modest building perched on the harbour with the furnishings basic , clean and serviceable and the welcome from the staff is very warm and friendly. The chef came and explained any dishes that customers were unsure of, giving details of how he’d created the dish. The food served was of Michelin standard, outstanding with flavours and textures only a true master chef with a love and complete understanding of these principles could create. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

I came here based on a recommendation, and they were absolutely right! Located in a modest spot in the harbor, you are seated with a view overlooking the water, a peek into the kitchen, and a chef who is clearly experienced and passionate. The service was impeccable: friendly, conversational, and genuinely attentive despite being full and busy. The food was exquisite, well-planned, and beautifully presented. We enjoyed Cullen skink and seafood plate as starters, and Venison and Halibut for mains... it was just perfect. View menu
