What Jolsongoude doesn't like about North Harbour Bistro Tearoom:
We came here with another couple for dinner. The food was terrific. There were a couple of things that soured us on the experience, though. Firstly, it was cash only.

The North Harbour Bistro on the Isle of Scalpay may have a modest exterior and casual atmosphere, but the food served here is nothing short of exceptional. Visitors can expect top-quality fish and seafood dishes that rival those of high-end restaurants in London. Despite some minor inconveniences like cash-only payment and slow service, the fantastic meals and friendly staff make North Harbour Bistro a must-visit for anyone exploring the Western Isles. Overall, this hidden gem offers a dining experience that exceeds expectations, making it a top recommendation for those looking for exquisite seafood cuisine in a relaxed setting.
