Solas Restaurant, Stornoway -
Fresh food, beautifully prepared and presented ...

Solas means 'light' in Gaelic and that's an excellent word to describe this modern brasserie style restaurant, completed in 2007.  The sophisticated light and sound system means that the ambience may be adjusted to suit  the time of day.

The restaurant is popular with both visitors and local residents, serving contemporary dishes that may best be described as a fusion of  traditional Scottish recipes, classic cuisine and world specialities.  Wines are specially selected to complement the food and offer the same combination of the highest possible quality and good value that we can achieve.

Fresh, Scottish ingredients are used extensively, including superb, local fish and seafood.

Hebridean langoustines and scallops are particularly good and well worth sampling, as are Lewis lamb, Angus beef, Leurbost mussels, local estate venison and other delicacies.  

Menus change regularly to reflect the seasons and availability of ingredients - there are links at the bottom of the page to example restaurant menus - note that these are typical menus and will change at from time to time - they are provided only to give you an idea of what to expect.
