Applecross Inn is famous for its seafood and has won a number of awards. The Inn doubles as the local pub so has a tendency to get a little crowded so if you can find a seat, especially at the height of the season, I'm sure you'll enjoy the experience. Drinkers often spill out onto the street on a beautiful evening and there are tables in the beer garden across the street. It is located on Shore Street and often has live music.

The Potting Shed Cafe and Restaurant is set in the historical grounds of the Applecross house’s walled garden, though it is not known when the garden was built it is accepted that it would be around the same time as work was started on the house in 1675. The old potting shed buildings have been refurbished to house the kitchen and small, eclectic gift shop and a glass extension was built making a lovely dinning area to enjoy the garden views no matter the weather.

Loch Shieldaig is a spectacular location; the bulk of Upper Loch Torridon and its amazing mountains are literally just round the corner, whilst the road to the remote Applecross Peninsula curves round the bay from the inn. Patrons have been left speechless by the abundance of wildlife visible from this extraordinary waterside setting; otters and seals thrive, there is also a nesting pair of white-tailed sea eagles. Tipples of choice here are beers from the respected brewery across the Sound on Skye or maybe from the Black Isle to the north of Inverness; equally exhilarating are the sunsets viewed from the terrace of the Coastal Kitchens restaurant upstairs, and from the traditional bar, where live music adds to the weekend buzz of the village.

Part of the award-winning Tigh an Eilean Hotel, the Coastal Kitchen majors on the abundant fruits of the sea; in particular the local shellfish which are landed daily by small boats operated by village fishermen and sourced by environmentally-responsible methods such as creel-fishing or hand-diving. Razor clam fritters or langoustines à la plancha are a great introduction to the menu and specials choices cooked in the open kitchen here. The wood-burning oven gives a flavoursome edge to the hand-made pizzas like the 'from the sea' feast of crayfish, squid, shrimps, wood-fired langoustines, onion and orange-braised fennel; or try a trio of hand-dived scallops, oven-seared and served on a bed of dressed leaves with lemon and chilli butter. Sustainable fish such as pollack and sea bream also feature, whilst meat lovers can indulge in wood-fired rib-eye steaks, outdoor-reared pork chops or civet of hare. There is a loch side courtyard with benches and tables so don’t forget your binoculars or you are sure to miss out.
