    Hiking

    The Breakwater Cafe (used to be called Sonas) serves all of the usual cafe food with a more resturaunt style menu in the evenings. Great views across the harbour especially in the dark.

    Hiking

    The coffee shop is called Sonas. Before or after the hike to the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse you can strengthen yourself here. The café is very lovingly designed and offers a delicious selection of cakes, even gluten-free and lactose-free!

    Hiking

    One of the few restaurants in the area, great pizza, also available for takeaway.

    There isn't a lot of space, but it's worth a try; they'll do their best to accommodate you.
