Great café, really nice sandwiches & soups! Definitely recommend! There’s also a lovely view on the harbour, and a dog friendly area! ☀️ Only little con is that we waited quite a while for our meals, but other than that, loved it!
The Thai Cafe uses the restaurant space in the evening between 1600 - 2200 on Tues - Sat. A great selection of menu options and such a great view over the harbour when you're having your meal.
An Lanntair Arts Centre is a great facility to have in Stornoway and is improved by having this dining option available. Book a table though!
Lol velt art gallery downstairs and a shop with a cafe and more artwork upstairs. Only thing is that the artwork upstairs is behind where people sit to eat and drink so you have to peer over them to see the art. Not ideal.
No parking so find a roadside space or park at Tesco only a 3 minute walk.

Beautiful modern venue with large capacity and current streaming technology for large events. Very friendly staff at the café, Thai restaurant open in the evening.
Art gallery and creative space - certainly the largest such space in the Western Idles. Downstairs is an art gallery along with a gift and bookshop. There is a good cafe upstairs. There aren't any parking facilities but Stornoway does have a fair amount of parking spaces.
