Bar Am Praban — Restaurant in Scotland

This is a small and cosy pub bar attached to hotel in a beautiful location overlooking the water. 4 of us popped in towards the end of the lunch opening (food services ends at 2:30pm). There are lots of beers available on tap. One of our party ordered lemonade lime but it was not available and was offered Sprite instead. The menu was quite varied. 3 of us ordered soup (Potato and Leek) and one ordered starter mussels. The food was served quickly. The soup was accompanied by a small artisan bread roll. The Mussels were served in a large pot and were soaked in a garlic butter sauce. Unfortunately the soup was quite possibly the worst any of us had ever tasted. There simply was no flavour at all, in fact not one of us could taste leek or any seasonings. It was in effect a bowl of mushy mashed potato. All 3 of us left it after a couple of spoon tastings. The mussels were absolutely delicious. Now I know mistakes happen, however I am always happy to judge by how a mistake is rectified. When the barman came to remove the soups I advised him how we felt about the soup. He said he had already been told it was not good by another customer and that he would advise “chef”. (So why was it continued to be offered?) On return he told us chef was “not happy” and he had taken 10% off our bill to compensate. Our total was approximately £50 and we had £5 taken off for 3 soups at £18 cost which none of us could eat. We should have had the full £18 taken off for inedible food or offered an alternative. It’s a shame that the food really let down our visit to this otherwise beautiful location...

If you find yourself on the picturesque Isle of Skye, make sure to visit Bar Am Praban. My recent dining experience here was nothing short of exceptional. The highlight of our meal was the fish and chips, which was undoubtedly one of the best I've ever had. The fish was incredibly fresh, with a light, crispy batter that complemented the tender, flavorful fish inside. Every bite was a delight, reflecting the high quality and freshness of the ingredients.

To top off an already wonderful meal, we indulged in the dessert of the day, which was simply heavenly. The dessert was a perfect end to our dining experience, balancing sweetness and texture beautifully.

The ambiance of Bar Am Praban also deserves a mention. It’s warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.

I strongly recommend Bar Am Praban to anyone visiting the Isle of Skye. Whether you're a local or a tourist, this place is a must-visit for an...

Absolutely disgusting treatment by the staff, accompanied by overpriced, overcooked and quite frankly disappointing food, especially the lamb shank. The self-service element is not advertised, after walking up and down from our uncomfortable park bench seating to the entrance to place drinks orders, collect drinks, order food then collect that all too, on hot plates. The staff were extremely rude, unprofessional and unhelpful, even swearing at one member of my party for politely asking to order separately (between the couples), which is widely accepted elsewhere. Avoid this restaurant/hotel at all costs. Plenty of other lovely places...
