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.

The food is great and packed full of flavour. We had the venison starter which was delicious. Moving onto the lamb and cod scallops which did not disappoint. The dessert ended it off very nicely. The one thing that did disappoint a bit was the service. This restaurant is on the Michelin guide for 2019 and is fine dining but they didn't know who ordered what, when the food arrived at the table. A little slow when we wanted to order dessert and lacked the cherry on the top for a restaurant on the Michelin guide. Great food and you should definitely check it out for yourself. A great option for Portree.

This is not a rushed meal so plan on a couple of hours being there but each course leaves you wanting more.

The dinner started off a little disappointing, as we had to wait around 20-25 minutes to get seated for a table of 2 with a reservation. It wasn't a huge problem, but, frankly, I expect to be seated much more quickly. You can argue that a small 7-8 table restaurant may have customers linger or whatever but if you're of the highest quality then those are mistakes I don't really expect to be made. We both ordered the the same course, and I thought that the hake and crab dish (the menu changes which is great) was delicious. I don't eat mammal or bird meat but I would expect that their lamb dishes to be excellent. It would be great to try a few of their dishes in the same night. We also enjoyed the chocolate cake with honeycomb and cherry ice cream, though I don't think the cake itself is anything particularly special, the honeycomb and cherry ice cream more than made up for the cake. Overall this is a great restaurant that I'd recommend if you're in Portree. Book far in advance, and treat yourself for some fabulously fresh fish and local fair!
