Doune Braes - Carta

Food excellent for our holiday. Travelling with in-laws who appreciated traditional home cooking and standard cooked breakfast

We were touring the area and hungry. Stopped for lunch and were served by a pleasant waitress. The food was acceptable and better than other options near by.

One of the worst meals I have had. I ordered a cheese and ham ciabatta with salad. It came as a bun was not toasted. The salad was a derisory small amount of coleslaw which could not even be called coleslaw due to lack of mayonaise Ver carta

Lower your expectations for dinner at this restaurant so you won’t be disappointed. Food was just passable, but we were warned when we booked earlier in the day. They told us they weren’t sure if they could take our booking as they didn’t want to over load the kitchen. Wish we had noted their hesitation!

Had a really lovely meal here with our 2 kids and our dog was welcomed too which was fantastic and sadly unusual in this part of the world! My son had the curry which we all had a dip of! It was so flavoursome! Hubby had fish and chips which was lovely, I had the lamb hotpot which again was great but if anything just needed more lamb. My daughter is a fusspot so had chips and garlic bread which were nice. We were made to feel very welcome, service was great and prices were reasonable. We will be back!

Visited with a large group of friends after the Carloway show when the restaurant was particularly busy. Given they had a power cut for 30 mins early on lan the late afternoon they coped incredibly well. My wife and i both had local crab and mango salad to start with which was very good followed by deep fried haddock, peas and chips with lovely home made tartar sauce. Others in our group had the onion bhajis and duo of Stornoway Smokehouse salmon to start and the chicken and tarragon pie or chicken enchiladas to follow. All went down well and was followed by live music until late. Ver carta

A very busy night after the Carloway Show was handled wonderfully by the staff. 8 of us had booked for 6.00 pm and with chicken pie, battered fish, salmon, and fish pie main courses we were presented with well cooked excellent ingredients and supporting vegetables. (Real chips were super. Starters ranged from onion baggi, smoke salmon, crab mango, and home made soup and were very well received in our varied group. You don’t have much choice in this area but with this menu and quality you don’t have to make the long journey to Stornaway. This will be one of their busiest days of the year but with service as cheerful, helpful and prompt as this it was a great end to a rainy day.

Traditional style hotel with restaurant, lounge and public bar with outlook over their car park and a small lochan. It's not far from Dun Carloway and the Callanish Standing Stones however there are very few options for evening meals in this area.The restaurant was quite busy (seats around 40) however we were able to get a table for two without a reservation I'm not sure this would always be the case. There was a pleasant relaxed atmosphere (although the lounge bar was empty).The menu had a reasonable selection of popular dishes. We both opted for Sirolin Steaks for mains which were served with chips, onion rings and a salad garnish for me and mash and vegetables as an alternative at my wife...

If you are visiting the Callanish Stones this summer 2024 possibly next summer too... , this is the nearest place for a proper sit down inside , out of the rain, eating opportunity. The Callanish Stones visitor centre is closed for refurbishment, and only has a trailer serving instant tea coffee. This place is just abiut 5miles 10 minutes drive North of the stones, Limited lunchtime menu , soup, toasties, baked potatoes, sandwiches, sticky toffee pudding, but all quite nice. They could do worse than up their game with lunchtime menu just a touch, whilst the Callanish visitor centre is getting refurbished, and become a Must Visit rather than a Nice To Visit. They should ask the Visitor Centre... Ver carta
