It 's even in the Michelin guide. Those rankings are justified: Scorrybreac gives you a gourmet dining experience at a relatively economical price. There are only eight or so tables here, which means that the menu stays small each night: an everchanging three-course prix fixe with appetizer, entree, and dessert. All the plates were beautifully composed and complex, and for the most part wonderfully executed. I wish I 'd written down my menu, because I can 't remember everything about it, especially the accompaniments and sauces. Damn. Started with a squab app, which was the only time when the execution was slightly off; the bird was just a hair overcooked and slightly tough. Pretty sure we both had lamb loin, which was succulent and flavorful, pretty much the best single dish we had on our nine-day trip. We 're not big dessert people, but we would be if all kitchens killed it like this one did with dessert. Pretty sure it involved raspberry sorbet and yogurt, it that it masterfully balanced the sweet and salty and various textures. 48 pounds for this wonderful meal is reasonable, I think. (It is slightly dismaying, though, to look at menus from just a few years ago and see them clocking in a 28 and 32 pounds. The surroundings aren 't too noteworthy: It 's clean and sharp-looking, mind you, but not terribly distinctive, and the tables seem a bit jammed together. It 's situated on Portree 's waterfront across from the actual Scorrybreac homestead; too bad that only one table (and not ours on this evening gets to enjoy this lovely view. The servers were very young. They were pleasant but not all that polished.
