This place is all that is right about the food scene in Scotland. Amazing local produce cooked to perfection. The seafood was incredible. It’s a nice relaxed and slightly less formal setting in beautiful Stein in Waternish. The food is simply stunning and would recommend the tasting menu. This place deserves all the plaudits it has rightly been receiving. The bar selection is also fantastic and the service was perfect. Book a trip to Skye to come here!

One of, if not the best best fish restaurants I've eaten at. Some incredibly creative twists on very fresh local produce. Excellent service well deserving its Michelin rating.

This was a lovely meal. Each course was well cooked and encorporated excellent flavours that were well matched. The pigeon starter was especially excellent. To top it off, the gave me a little extra for my birthday !

Well a new season in 2023 and another evening made so special. Simply exquisite menu where every dish is simply perfect. The very best service you could ever wish for. Surrounded by the stunning scenery the friendly staff make you welcome from first to last. The food also taking the very best the local area has to offer and then lifting the flavours so carefully. Many many thanks for a great evening

What an evening we had there. Everything was perfect. From the locally foraged seafood to the service, the attention to details and complexity of flavor were amazing.I truly feel this is a special place, even having experienced hundreds of restaurants all over the world.

There are some moments in life where you sit there and wonder how certain things are possible. Sometimes they are wonderful and sometimes they are unfortunate. The flavors achieved in the dishes at Loch Bay are the most wonderful! Flavors that evolved and lasted, grabbing all of your attention and forcing you to live life through your senses with each bite. My wife and I couldn't talk about anything but the food with each new dish that came out. The core ingredients were familiar, but the explosion of flavors achieved with them were completely new territory for my palate. And as a Sommelier, that is super fun! Wines were fantastic as well. We just did champagne (which never fails) and a bottle, but the selection was interesting and just different enough provide the right spin without being too alienating for your average wine drinker. Bravo Chef and Staff, we cannot wait to come back!

Had a wonderful experience at loch bay. The food was superbly prepared and the combination of the different foods was extraordinary. The service was great and the atmosphere is cosy since there are only around 20 seats. The location is quite remote If you're not staying in the village. A must go when visiting isle of Skye. Remember to book well in advance.

We were looking forward to our dining experience for months and I desperately wanted to love it. The hard-to-reach location starts the I discovered this gem that no one else knows about" feeling. There were some imperfections but not enough to dampen the experience or prevent a return visit. Still

Outstanding.Remote location which is settled within a row of fisherman cottages. Cosy, romantic and professional.We arrived during the covid fallout. Only 2 staff - chef Michael Smith and front of house. Both looking after 4 tables. Everything was respectful, friendly and unpretentious.We were lucky to experience a seafood extravaganza of a tasting menu. As expected the ingredients and produce is fresh and matched with delightful wines. Chef treats you to a flavourable trip around Skye's best offerings from the sea.In particular the happiness of tasting the Langoustine bisque will stick in the memory. Then we were later spoiled with a half bay lobster with chanterelles.I understand the buzz surrounding the restaurant and it certainly backs this up. Enjoy.

In August I had the pleasure of going back to Lochbay again for the third time and if you are a seafood lover you won't be disappointed. Lochbay is about a local as it get can. Excellent local seafood paired with lovely and experienced staff who have all worked there since the beginning. The atmosphere is very cosy as the restaurant has only 18 seats. Yes you have to book in advance. A real hidden gem in the heart of the lovely little village Stein. Would return in a heartbeat and thanks so much for that memorable experience.
