Castle Moil Restaurant & Giftshop and the adjoined King Haakon Bar, are situated on the seafront in the picturesque fishing village of Kyleakin, gateway to the Isle of Skye. The village sits immediately over the infamous Skye Bridge, and is a favourite stop for travellers and tourists arriving on the island. The village serves as an excellent base from which to explore the rest of the island. The family-run fully licensed Castle Moil Restaurant offers excellent value home-cooked dishes in a relaxed and informal environment. The menu caters for a wide range of appetites, tastes and budgets, including children, and always features fresh local fish and shellfish as well as traditional favourites such as steak pie, roast chicken and, of course,"haggis, neeps and tatties". Lighter snacks and salads are also always available, and the experience can be greatly enhanced with a bottle of wine, local malt whisky or a pint of the house real ale. Between Easter and October, the restaurant is open from 10am till 9pm.

The Gift shop can be accessed by its own entrance or via the restaurant, and carries a wide range of gifts and souvenirs, many produced on the island or the wider local area, including jewellery, ceramics, books, postcards and textiles.

The lively King Haakon Bar is very popular with locals and tourists alike, combining the authentic feel of an island pub with a mixed local and international clientele. The bar offers the full restaurant menu, as well as lighter bar snacks, and has a pool table and other bar games. It is renowned as a local entertainment hot-spot, hosting regular lively traditional and contemporary music sessions that invariably get everyone on the floor.
