Located on the picturesque Isle of Canna, Café Canna has become a must visit destination for food enthusiasts and travellers alike. Drawing inspiration from the beautiful surroundings, the restaurant showcases the finest local ingredients: seafood from the clear sparkling Hebridean waters, meat from the fields next door, vegetables from the plot, fruit from the garden and seaweed foraged from the shore.
Café Canna - Seafood Platters
One of the highlights of dining at Café Canna is undoubtedly the seafood platters, available to pre-order and landed just as you sit down. Picture freshly landed whole lobster, brown crab and succulent langoustines all expertly prepared to highlight their natural flavours.
Gareth and his team aim to source as much from the island as possible and visitors might get the opportunity to accompany Gareth as he forages for seaweed along the shoreline before enjoying dishes such as crispy seaweed tempura, delicate seaweed salad and kelp miso ramen.
Much of Gareth's love for the island and its produce has been poured into his book: Café Canna Recipes from a Hebridean Island. Showcasing some of their most popular recipes along with tips and how to's to help you recreate the magic at home.
With its growing reputation as a must visit destination for food lovers, tables at the café tend to get booked up fast.
