The Three Chimneys, one of Scotland’s most iconic restaurants, is celebrating a new milestone as its latest venture, ‘The Three Chimneys at Talisker’, earns recognition in the Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland, less than two years after opening on the Isle of Skye.

In spring 2024, The Three Chimneys and Skye’s oldest distillery, Talisker, joined forces for the first time to launch ‘The Three Chimneys at Talisker’ experience at the distillery on the shores of Loch Harport.

The Three Chimneys at Talisker has now been recognised by Michelin for culinary excellence. The Michelin Guide celebrates only the best food and drink experiences around the world. All restaurants featured in the guide are considered good, with the ‘Michelin Recommended’ status.

The Three Chimneys at Talisker experience invites guests to fully immerse themselves in the rugged coastal landscape of Skye, through locally sourced food and drink and a shared commitment to local growers, crofters, producers and craftspeople on Skye.

Led by head chef of The Three Chimneys, Paul Green and his team, The Three Chimneys at Talisker’s a la carte menu for 2026 will include an array of freshly caught langoustines, oysters, mussels and scallops. Diners can also enjoy the already famous seafood platter or locally cured meats and cheeses.

Paul Green, head chef, said:

“We’ve been overwhelmed by the fantastic response to The Three Chimneys at Talisker dining experience since launching the venture with the distillery in spring 2024.

“Earning our place in the Michelin Guide just two years later is a huge achievement and is testament to the continued dedication and passion of our team, as well as support from all our local suppliers.”

The Michelin Guide inspectors said:

“This restaurant on the western side of the island has an enviable location in more ways than one. Firstly, it’s on the edge of Loch Harport and comes with glorious views, and secondly, it’s right by the Talisker distillery – making a pre- or post-lunch tour a must for whisky enthusiasts.

“With Skye’s waters offering so much super produce, it’s no surprise to see plenty of seafood on the menu, but also expect meat dishes from local venison to traditional haggis, neeps and tatties. Talisker whisky is of course a feature and you can even have a wee dram poured over your oysters.”
