#1 wild rabbit, raw & cooked langoustine
had the best degustation dinner for a while at three chimneys.
this my 31st anniversary celebration with wife on 12.6.2017. ^^
skye land & sea 8-course degustation menu
well, the skye land & sea menu looked amazing (& such an imaginative name!). lol!^^
three chimneys was one of only 2 one michelin star restaurants in isle of skye in 2014.
however, they lost the star in 2017 when chef director michael smith left followed by an exodus of staff.
i think they got a “michelin plate” in 2017. this a new category introduced in 2016. not yet a michelin star.
#1 wild rabbit, raw & cooked langoustine
the raw langoustine was delightful, very sweet.

#2 dunvegan crab
the dunvegan crab was very sweet. lovely! great stuff…

#3 roasted sconser scallops
the roasted scallop was very good.
#3 roasted sconser scallops
though we had many great scallop preparations in many restaurants, most recently at the restaurant at duisdale. couldn’t really say this was better…
#4 seaweed & miso cured halibut, crispy loch harport oyster
wow…this dish beautifully crafted & plated!
#4 seaweed & miso cured halibut, crispy loch harport oyster
nice oyster fritter…sweet fish, curing was light…not sure about the miso flavours, a bit on salty side..
#4 seaweed & miso cured halibut
nice sides of peas, seaweed.
#5 braised soy lamb ravioli
the braised soy lamb ravioli, with the condiments & sides, very good too..
#5 braised soy lamb ravioli
a great pasta dish, before the meats.
#5 pigeon (replaced lamb ravioli for wife)
wife doesn’t take lamb, so restaurant replaced by pigeon, one of their menu dishes.
#5 pigeon (replaced lamb ravioli for wife)
an excellent preparation, texture, taste, plating, quite perfect.
#6 orbost farm rose beef
the second main was a beef.
#6 orbost farm rose beef
very good though, with the sides of good onion ring and pressed potatoes.
#7 pressed apple
#7 pressed apple
wife & i not very dessert people.
the pressed apple was really quite good, the the different textures…
#8 rhubarb & hibiscus
#8 rhubarb & hibiscus
the rhubarb was less exciting for us…
the dinner degustation was £90. every dish was excellent, we enjoyed every bit of the dinner.
they have not yet regained their one michelin star. by definition, it is “worth a stop” for one start & “worth a detour” for 2 stars.
50mins from UIG Lodge to Three Chomneys for 2pax dinner
so going by michelin’s definition, this dinner was 2 michelin star for me la…we drove like 50mins just for this dinner! that’s quite a “detour” right?
