But unlike the Boatshed, the HS-1 does not take reservations and is more value-priced. We dined there twice. While the presentation was not as dramatic as at the Boasted, we enjoyed every bite, enough to say it's my favorite place during Scotland travels.

We've ordered the fried fish wrap, the seafood bowl and some fresh oysters. We actually wanted also some langoustines like last time. But since the menu is always a bit changing and depending on the catch, this time this option wasn't available. But there were some of them in the mixed seafood bowl. Also some herring, salmon, seafood dip and salad was in the delicous bowl. The fried fish wrap was excellent as well. Fresh cod, nicely fried. Crispy outside and nice, fresh and tender inside. Good stuff. And now for the highlight: The Oysters. We've had oysters in the Normandy (France), Spain, Italy, Portugal, South Korea, Japan, Australia, the US and in many other places. In several spots in England and Scotland as well. And these here were so far the best we've ever had! Fresh flavours of the sea, nicely sized, very sweet, smooth and creamy. Excellent oysters - almost drove three hours back the next day just to get some more. -But an altogether six-hour drive was a bit too much in the end. Hopefully next time around the oysters will be as great as this time. This time the weather was pretty cold and it was a bit rainy at times. So it was easy to get a table - even got one under the tent. Last time it was warm and sunny, but hard to get a seat and there was a long line. This time it was all easy, an advantage of this kind of weather which we didn't mind at all. A really really great place to grab some fantastic seafood items. We definitely will be back.

We found this place originally just by being nosy, mooching about, doing nothing in particular,…read morefollowing tracks but what a find. In the middle of nowhere this lovely 300 year old crofters cottage is home to the best smoked salmon, ever. They showed us round & explained how the Atlantic Ocean salmon reared in Loch Duart is cured using brown sugar & rum then smoked over a smouldering mixture of special wood chips with no artificail heat. Sounds good but tastes even better. It is a mild flavour but subtley sweet & succulent and we are totally hooked. Don't even have to travel as I can order online and have it delivered and then put in the freezer. Makes a smashing Christmas present. The views around here aren't bad either !!!!!!

Good food in a place where it's not common with a spectacular view…read more I went back and forth between four and five stars here and I'm going to give it five stars in the end because they managed an upscale food experience without being overly pretentious (although the price tag remains) and had a good kid's menu. The actual food went back and forth between four stars and five stars (especially at this price point), as did the service. The drinks list was short, but well-thought-out including local whisky. We came here for a nice dinner out with our family of 4 (including two kids 8 and 11). The inside was finished with an interesting industrial chic with riveted, metal-topped tables with wrought iron supports and huge floor-to-ceiling windows looking out at Uig Bay with Uig Sands visible depending on the tide. A bit less than half the tables are actually against the window, so try to get one, but the view is good no matter what. The food is very good, but not quite top-tier tasting menu level. We got the seafood chowder, smoked salmon with cashews and toppings, pistachio crusted cod, and the scallops. The seafood chowder and scallops were both good, but didn't stand out in any spectacular way. The chowder was a bit overly salty. It also had mussels in it, which was a bit different. The scallops were well-cooked with crispy potatoes and a bit of kale, but mostly just well-done scallops. The cod coated in a crispy herb crust with pistachios and a pea risotto was truly different. The risotto tasted almost as though it had mint in it and the peas were just a tiny bit crisp and crunchy giving it texture to complement the flaky, but still moist fish. Probably the highlight of the meal. The smoked salmon with cashews and pickled vegetables and avocado cream was reminiscent of a tuna carpaccio, but with smoked salmon instead. Very different and locally inspired. Second best thing of the meal. The kid's menu was a really nice touch. The kids got a plain burger and penne pasta, which were both good. I really appreciated not having to find them something else to eat off the main menu. Dessert was similar to the rest of the meal. The pistachio cake with raspberry cream was excellent, dense and moist with different flavors. The coconut ice cream with rice "donuts" were different, but too sweet for me. The donuts were basically rice pudding deep fried and dusted with sugar, but the roasted pineapple and super-sweet syrup pushed it too sweet. The kid's got salted caramel and dark chocolate parfait (really ice cream) with a brownie. It was also excellent, but they didn't love the salted caramel. Drinks-wise they had a decent selection of local whisky as well as wines (mostly by the bottle). We enjoyed an Argentinian Malbec which was light enough to pair with the seafood.

I had the fish 'n chips and was informed the come two ways....the regular way and then with breadcrumbs. I asked the server which he preferred and he said with breadcrumbs, so that's what I ordered. Oh my, they were delicious! The fries were so good too. Nothing was greasy. It came with a small side of mushy peas and I could've had a whole plate of those but with the huge generous portion of fish I got, I couldn't even finish the second fish let alone having more mushy peas. My husband ordered the mussels and they were plump, juicy and large. I don't know how many he got but there were a lot of mussels! I'm wanting to say probably 20 or maybe even more. He said they were amazing, and they were served in a tin bucket which was pretty cool....the lid served as a perfect receptacle for the empty shells. We shared a sticky toffee pudding at the end which was incredible. The service was wonderful and friendly so we highly recommend this place!

This is far and away the best food in ullapool*…read more The place absolutely feels like the seaside cottage restaurant that it is. It's been around longer than you and I combined. The food however is a solid mix of traditional and new, ranging from fish n chips to lamb shanks; and oh man that lamb, it came served on the bone, but then promptly feel right off in the most tender pile of meat ever. The fish and chips were the best I had in Scotland this past trip, the burger (late night visit) is nothing to write home about (it is huge tho, only get if you're starving). The folks who work here are super nice, and you're more than welcome to get a drink at the bar and go sit by the water as you wait for your table - you can watch the ferry go out and have a pint , ptery much the most highlands thing one can do. --------- * And everyone knows it, make a reservation or you won't be eating herr

There are a few tables across the road so we grabbed a beer to take in the beautiful view of Loch Broom. We put our name down for dinner since there was a wait and were seated after about 30 minutes. We poured over the menu and the large list of specials up on the wall. Chuck decided his first meal would have to be fish, while I chose a roasted lamb shank. We were not disappointed. When the food came out, the portions were very large but it is high quality. The piece of fish was almost larger than the plate. My lamb was cooked to well that it just fell off the bone with the slightest touch and melted in my mouth. It was the perfect way to start our adventure in the highlands. The ingredients were very fresh and locally sourced. We returned for dinner again for our last night. They were slam packed and we were unable to put our names in for a table. Instead, we went to sit in the bar section, which is first come first serve. Thankfully, we were able to get two seats at the bar and sat for a few rounds before ordering some food. We saw the burgers on our first trip and had to order them for our last meal. These were also very large. It is served with a tomato chutney which was very tasty. As we wrapped up, an accordion player started a set in the back corner. He was really good and everyone in the bar was having a great time. If I ever find myself in Ullapool again, I hope the Arch Inn will still be there to enjoy another meal.
