A Dinner of Two Halves

April 4, 2008 on 9:00 pm | In Uncategorized |

After a week in Uist eating out each evening I am ready to go home to pasta, there are only some many meals out you can have. It has been a ‘meal’ of two halves with using the Dark Island Hotel (the DI) and then the Orasay Inn and finally Langass Lodge for my culinary tour.

After being out running I was looking forwards to a good meal and  beer but the DI I am sorry to say was not a shining example of cusine. One meal was swimming in gravy into which they must have spilt the salt pot. And sadly none of my three meals were the ‘great food’ of the web site.

The Orasay Inn began to restore my spirits in the food of Uist and the fish was well cooked and tasty. I had been wanting to go out paddling but the weather wasn’t great as I needed to take the camera so the meal helped to salvage the day.

Finally as I headed north today, I decided I would stop at Langass Lodge, I have heard much about it but never quite made it there. As I needed to stop and look at the neolithic sites and take some pictures, I thought it would be a good opportunity. The place starts well with a great ambience and then a friendly welcome. The fish which was fresh from Barra was very tasty and a fitting end to a walk on the hill.
