Outer Hebrides

Wood-fired at Achmore, plated in Tarbert.

The restaurants of Lewis and Harris are small and personal, run by people who love what they cook. Beside the road at Achmore, in the middle of Lewis, a pizza kiosk in a bright blue shipping container stretches its dough by hand. It bakes each pizza in a wood-fired oven until the crust blisters, and you order at the hatch. Down in Tarbert, a small restaurant makes every table a chef's table. You eat in the kitchen while the chef cooks an eight-course tasting menu and tells you where each dish came from. Tarbert's tables go by booking only, so reserve well ahead.

Flavour.

Flavour is a small restaurant in Tarbert where every table is a chef's table, set in the kitchen itself so you can watch each course plated in front of you. Chris Loye cooks a tasting menu and talks you through every dish, from where he sourced or grew it to how he cooked it. He and his wife Nicola began with pop-ups before opening here in 2021. The drinks lean towards local and Scottish producers. It opens on a few evenings a week, by booking only, so plan ahead.
