FORGET Leith, forget Finnieston, forget Loch Fyne. If you want the best food in Scotland Jack Lowden says, you need to go to Skye.
The Scottish star of Dunkirk and Mary Queen of Scots has told The Herald Magazine that his favourite restaurant in Scotland is Scorrybreac in Portree.
“You really have to fight to get a table and it’s like in somebody’s front room,” Lowden said of the restaurant. “But the food is just exceptional.
“It’s the best food in Scotland. Tom Kitchin’s in Leith is outstanding as well, but this guy up there … That’s the best food in Scotland for me.”
Lowden visited Scorrybreac on a recent trip for his birthday and enjoyed a five-course taster meal. “The food up there is insane,” Lowden added.
“In came this plate of fish that the maitre D’ had caught himself that day and then the brilliant chef had done something daft with it with oranges, and sprinkled Douglas Fir through it. The whole thing just worked.”
Lowden can be currently seen in a new Sky Cinema thriller called Kindred. In The Herald Magazine tomorrow he talks about his latest projects, his desire to move into producing and directing and why he can’t watch himself on screen.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
