The Legend of Saucy Mary Restaurant — Restaurant in Scotland

I can’t fathom why this restaurant garnered such low reviews on Google. My husband and I were here for dinner last evening and we found both food and service to be great. This restaurant appears to be one of two choices within Kyleakin. We were there on an errand, so we didn’t make a booking. At 7pm, the restaurant was close to full but the owner made it a point to try to get a table for us even then. Having been turned away at other establishments before for not booking, we really appreciated the gesture.

We weren’t particularly hungry, so we ordered the cullen skink and the super salad with halloumi. The cullen skink was freshly prepared and chockful of potatoes and leeks, but it was the super salad with the deliciously panfried halloumi, chickpeas, quinoa, oats and rice over salad that surprised us with how tasty it was.

We also ordered their chocolate & caramel torte with vanilla ice-cream and the strawberry cranachan. Both were good, but I really enjoyed the chocolate & caramel torte. It was rich, creamy and chocolatey and the raspberry compote added a dimension of tartness that balanced out the flavour.

Even though they were busy and running at full capacity, they did their best to tend to everyone in a friendly and efficient manner. Our food and drinks all came very quickly with...

A Delightful Dining Experience at The Legend of Saucy Mary

Nestled on the breathtaking Isle of Skye, from the moment you walk in, the rustic charm of the restaurant reflects the natural beauty of the island, with cozy seating by the fireplace or windows offering gorgeous views of the surrounding landscape. It’s the perfect setting for a relaxing and enjoyable meal.

The mussels, fresh from the Shetland Islands, were absolutely incredible—plump, tender, and served in a beautifully flavorful white wine that brought out their natural sweetness. My friend also tried the salmon, which was cooked to perfection—flaky, moist, and accompanied by a delicious cream sauce that enhanced its flavor. Both dishes were a true testament to the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the kitchen.

The menu at Saucy Mary offers a variety of other delicious options, from freshly prepared seafood to hearty steaks.

The Legend of Saucy Mary is not just a place to eat but a delightful experience. With outstanding seafood like the Shetland mussels and perfectly cooked salmon, warm service, and a charming atmosphere, it’s a must-visit when you’re on the Isle of Skye. Highly...

There were 4 of us, one ordered a starter which arrived with her main course and one other main course, after about 20 minutes we asked the waitress what had happened to the other 2 main courses, without a word of apology she said I will check, she came back a couple of minutes later to ask what we had ordered then went away. Ten minutes later one more main course arrived, after a few minutes I asked a waitress if a manager was available and explained what the problem was, we did not receive any apology until a few minutes later when the manager arrived and I explained the problem again, she offered to give us the missing meal for free and 4 free desserts which we accepted, the missing main course turned up about 5 minutes later and the manager came back to say that after talking to the owner it would now only be a free main course and two desserts, what happened to letting a manager manage the restaurant. We don't think we will be eating there again and I wouldn't recommend anyone else to eat there unless they enjoy...
