Eating Out

In Kyle, takeaway food is available from The Fisherman’s Kitchen, Pizza Mia, or Kyle Chinese. Meals available from The Kyle Hotel, Hector’s Bothy, The Highland Fling and Caol Cafe. The Balmacara Hotel is nearby with great views from restaurant. In Dornie, The Dornie Hotel specialises in local seafood menu, medium-pricing. There is also the highly recommended Clachan Bar and restaurant in Dornie. I love PizzaJo and Mauela's bakery in Ardelve. Plockton Inn and Seafood Restaurant, Plockton (6 miles): Great Scottish pub food, good seafood, kids menu, can eat in restaurant or ‘back bar’ pub area. Good prices. Local traditional music in the summer on a Thursday and Saturday night (starts 9:30ish). Phone to book 01599-544222. The Plockton Shores, Plockton (6 miles) Lovely tasty Scottish food in small restaurant in pretty Plockton village. Phone to book 01599-544263. The Applecross Inn, Applecross (37 miles) Excellent menu in small seaside pub. Try the prawns (‘langoustines’), mussels, or crab. Lots of character, and a wild drive to get there!
