Very tasty wholesome food, great athmosphere and great service. All that despute a location on a windswept beach on an island 3 1/2 hours ferry from Oban! I am definitely going every time I'm on Tiree.

The food is delicious, the atmosphere is peaceful and the view is wonderful. The staff are friendly and helpful, accommodating special requests happily. We always enjoy eating here whether it's a relaxing lunch or a special evening out.

As a coeliac I can feel completely confident that Elaine understands my dietary needs and produces some really original and tasty dishes every time. Nothing is too much trouble and waiting staff are helpful and very friendly.

It is refreshing nowadays to find a restauranteur who makes everything from scratch. From starters to desserts, everything is delicious and comfortingly home made, no freezer food for Elaine. The relaxed atmosphere and attentive staff make dining at the Elephants End a wholey enjoyable experience. It's always our first stop to book a table when we come off the ferry to make sure we can get in at some time during our stay.

Elephant s End is a fun friendly place to visit, kids are always welcomed with a box of toys, kids cups, cutlerly and menu. The staff always go the extra mile to help you enjoy not only your meal but your stay on Tiree. Lunch menu is great, lots of choices with something for everyone and nice local seafood specials. Dinner menu also super. Veggie menu available with loads of choices! All in all a great place to eat tasty local food ....book early!!

The best local produce cooked with love and care by the best local chef around. copuple this with a fantastic view, warm, inviting surroundings and you have the makings of a top local restaurant - you have Elephants End. Whether you want a toastie or a t-bone, high tea or fantastic seafood you can be assured of top service and a great meal. Worth the ferry trip alone!

Elephants End is my favourite restaurant. When I come to Tiree it is the first place I go. Elaine and her team are professional, warm and welcoming, and the menu is down to earth at the same time as being creative, tasty, beautifully presented and plentiful! There are all sorts of extra bits and pieces, too, which are slipped in quietly and make you feel spoiled and taken care of. Consistency in standards can be hit and miss in restaurants and here, again, Elaine gets 100% - both in the food and personal service, and in the imagination and variety of her menus. I have seen EE go from strength to strength and each time I visit, there is something new, different and better than before.

Elaine is a brilliant, understanding and caring boss that makes very delicious food. She puts a lot of hard work into the restaurant, with a 7 day a week dedication which is very rare nowadays and strives to make sure each and every customer is happy and full when they leave, ensuring return visits! :)

Elaine`s cooking is delicious, Alison, Julie & Amanda are brilliant waitresses, if I could eat here everyday I would

We have just returned from our first visit to Tiree -unfortunately the reputation of Elephant's End is such that we were unable to secure a booking for an evening meal but we did manage a lunch and it was excellent with warm and friendly staff who accomodated us even tho they were preparing for a private party at the time. If we manage another trip to Tiree we will be making our dinner booking at Elephant's End before we leave Edinburgh.

our second visit to Tiree & our 6th to Elephants End after our first visit we thought it couldn't be any better how wrong we were we now phone from home to book(Glasgow) traditional Scottish food with unusual twist lana44

The many times I have visited Elephants End, I have never been dis-satisfied. The service is friendly, relaxed yet efficient. The food itself is absolutely fantastic and the portions are exremely fair and never excessive, just right. I am looking forward to my trip to the island and I can honestly say that Elephants End is the first place I will be heading for when I get off the boat.

I would just like to say if ever in Tiree, a visit to Elephants End is a must, You will not taste a meal like Elaine makes anywhere else on the island. You get a freshly cooked meal in ample portions and if you manage to have a desert....wow

My wife and I visited this place in Sept '07 and loved it. Sometimes the 2nd visit to a restaurant doesn't have the same impact, but that definitely wasn't the case when we returned - twice! - in June '08. As stated by other reviewers, the menu changes daily and the restaurant has a byob policy with no corkage charge. The menu isn't overly extensive, but that doesn't mean it's easy to choose, as the choices are so mouth-watering. We were surprised and delighted at the complimentary veg,grape and dip platter which was a lovely touch whilst perusing the menu. The food was always excellently cooked and served and although the dishes would have a familiar sound, the chef always managed to give them an individual twist. I cannot reccommend the Elephant highly enough, but a word of warning! PLEASE remember to book as it is extremely popular and seats only about 28.

Elephants End is second to none. With a fantastic views around it still has so much more to offer. The food, hospitality and service are all fantastic, warm and inviting. I cannot say enough to praise Elaine (the owner) who makes all the delicious food from scratch from local produce. It's a winner and a must visit place.

Hospitality second to none and highly recommended for good honest cooking

Special because: >Elaine Hutchinson does all the cooking and does it very well: from the bread (different kinds) in the morning to the chutneys and jams. >The evening menu changes every evening. >When you sit down a complimentary platter of vegetables and a dip is brought immediately to the table. The plate of different breads (and butter) came with the first course and was generous. >The fresh halibut which one of us had was memorable. >The vegetables were appetising and served in a separate dish. On the second occasion when we mentioned that the portions were too generous, we were told politely that the chickens would benefit. > Apart from the high quality of the produce and the cuisine, it was also byo with no cover charge. Highly recommended

IT IS UNIQUE IN THE FACT THAT THIS RESTAURANT IS TO BE FOUND ON A HEBRIDEAN ISLAND SERVING FOOD WAY SUPERIOR TO LARGER ESTABLISHMENTS ON THE MAINLAND. HOW ? MAKE EVERYTHING FROM SCRATCH, BUY LOCAL WHEN POSSIBLE, HOME MADE BREAD, CAKES, SOUPS, AND THE MAIN COURSES? DELICIOUS ! PUDDINGS WOW!! AND THE SERVINGS ARE MORE THAN AMPLE, THROW IN GOOD STAFF, NICE ATMOSPHERE, AND DEDICATION, AND THERE YOU HAVE IT !!! UNIQUE... ( our prized asset )

Elephants End is a fanatsic dining experience, with traditional Scottish and home-made dishes that are the highlight of a visit to the Isle of Tiree. Elaine, the owner, makes virtually everything from scratch in her kitchen and it is served straight from the oven to your table. This is what true wholesome food should be like.. fantastic quality and I guarantee, like me, you will keep returning.
