Description

Situated on the banks of Upper Loch Torridon with majestic mountains in the background and manicured gardens outside, this vibrantly decorated restaurant inside The Torridon hotel is in a truly stunning location. Exceptional Highlands produce is the bedrock of superbly balanced dishes that could be either classic or original in their make-up: from day-boat John Dory with a sublime roast chicken sauce, to the clever combination of white chocolate and rocket with preserved brambles. An extensive global whisky collection adds to the appeal.

Review summary

Located in Shieldaig, 1887 offers modern cuisine with high-quality ingredients and a lakeside atmosphere. Many guests praise the friendly service, exceptional food, and signature whisky-based cocktails, particularly noting the superb afternoon tea. However, reviews highlight inconsistencies in service, including disinterested staff, poor meal pacing, and premature clearing of tables. Some diners found the experience overpriced relative to the quality, questioning the justification for its AA three-rosette rating. While the setting is pleasant and the chef’s skill is evident, service reliability varies. Advance booking is advisable, and guests should be aware that while the culinary standard is generally high, the overall experience may be affected by operational inconsistencies.
