The Boathouse Cafe

An excellent seafood experience, not on the cheap side £55 per person) but worth the expense. Lunch booked for 14.30 by phone on a Monday and the person who received the booking was polite an accommodating. When we arrived the tables outside were almost all full but the space inside was relatively free, warm and inviting. The Boathouse offers beers and ales from FyneAles and we had one Fyne Lager Scottish helles slightly stronger and hoppier than ordinary bocks) and a Highlander an amber ale with a nutty, caramel-malt body and a slightly bitter finish). For starters we shared a Cullen Skink which was delicious one of the best we tasted in Scotland), 3 grilled langoustines and pan fried broccoli florets with cashews, pomegranates and a sweet pomegranate sauce. As mains we had two of their famous Pan Roasted Gigha Halibut dishes served with tenderstem brocolli, ginger veloute, wild mushroom and baby potatoes and one 'classic ' fish and chips dish with battered haddock, tripled cooked handcut chips, chunky tartar , and mashed peas. Every dish was excellent and the service very professional. A gastronomic experience not to be missed!

We spent a fantastic couple of nights in Gigha, during which time we had two exceptional meals at the restaurant. I can’t speak highly enough of the service, quality of food and great atmosphere that the Boathouse provided. For starters, I had the mussels and for the main I ordered the stonebass, washed down with a delicious bramble! When we returned again, there was a BBQ with something for everyone. I think it’s important to note that the staff were incredibly friendly and this made for a really great experience. This is a must try for all seafood lovers! C L

World class setting with food to match. Our second visit, which was just as special as the first. It's that simple.
