The 39 best cheap eats in the Isle of Skye

We’d been looking forward to trying here for a while, but left disappointed in all honestly. The service was slow - we had an email prior to arrival saying the table had to be returned within 2 hours and after 1 hour we’d had the “first course” which was essentially an amuse bouche. I had to ask about the matching wine package as the first course arrived. The staff didn’t know what wine it was when asked (just a generic memorised description) & they had to ask a colleague what dish it paired with. The food was good but far too small - thank god for the bread that arrived mid-course. For fine dining, I’d expect better service and a higher quality overall.

This fine dining restaurant is situated on the main road overlooking Loch Portree. All 8 dishes of the set degustation menu were expertly prepared which showcased the chef's skill, creativity, and culinary expertise. Staff were lovely, decor and very nice too. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Worth a visit. 👍👍👍

We had the 8(or was it 7?) course tasting menu, 2 cocktails and a glass of wine and it was just under $400 for the two of us. Of course the exchange rate matters but for £95 PP and a service charge added for the menu itself its a meal you have for a special occasion. That said each course was beautifully presented and very tasty. The milk bread and whipped butter in between helped satiate any hunger half way through the meal but after the 8 courses we were plenty full. Staff are very nice and knowledgeable about the food, if you don’t get a front table you are in the back or a corner and there really isn’t a view or any other ambience. It was also a cold night out (just after Storm Amy) so it was very warm and toasty for us inside with each table filled and the kitchen right there. A bit too hot for our liking… but we were happy we experience this restaurant especially since the Munro family has long time ties/history to the area (and other establishments in Portree… Birch perhaps) as well.

Phenomenal vibe, service, and very creative food. There’s no menu - it’s just a tasting menu. Only complaint is I wish portion sizes were a little bigger - one bite each and a small main in the cod

Delicious food - probably the best food you will get on Skye. Very nice for a special occasion. However they wont do anything “special”. Some things to consider- The restaurant is in an old living room in a terrace house. Some tables have a view of the harbour but others just stuck in a corner. Slightly on the expensive side in comparison to other tasting menus. as it is only a set menu you have to pay for the whole thing rather than just trying a main for example.

So unbelievably delicious and worth every penny - also such incredible service! We had 2 main waitresses who were both really wonderful! It’s going to be impossible to top this dinner!

Tasting menu (£99.50): Pacific oyster, smoked rhubarb vinaigrette - Good. Large and fresh with mineral taste. Halibut tartare, cucumber, sea plantain, larch - Excellent. Fresh and refreshing. Flashadder lamb with shallot, blue corn tortilla, nasturtium - Good. Barbecue scallop with foraged pesto, sea herbs, smoked corral - Outstanding. Fresh and large. The pesto, herbal sauce went well with it. Treacle soda bread, buerre noisette - Excellent. It had a cake-like texture. Mangalica pork with celeriac, white miso, nettle - Excellent. Both the loin and the belly were marbled and tender. The sweet sauce went well with it. Rhubarb with fresh crowdie sorbet, rose - Excellent combination of cheese flavour with sharper rhubarb. Connage yoghurt with orange blossom, Scots pine - Fine. Rather breakfast-like. Good service.

The food here is good, we ordered a number of things as a large group. Some things were better than others. The sticky toffee pudding was great. The staff was friendly. I wouldn’t say it was worth the price however which was very high, else it would have gotten 4 stars.

We visited this restaurant with my family in August and were absolutely delighted with both the food and the service. Even though we hadn’t booked a table in advance, the staff kindly offered us one at 9:15 pm (despite Google Maps saying they closed at 9). We had to wait a few hours, but it was definitely worth it. We ordered the Steamed Mussels, the soup of the day (pumpkin curry soup), and the Treacle & Whiskey Cured Salmon as starters, followed by the Pan Roasted Sea Trout for the main course. Every single dish was outstanding. These were the best mussels I have ever had in my life: everything was incredibly fresh and absolutely worth the price. Even after two courses, we couldn’t resist trying the Sticky Toffee Pudding, which turned out to be just as delicious. What truly made the evening unforgettable, though, was the service. The lovely and friendly Polish couple who looked after us were the heart and soul of this place. Chatting with them made the experience so special, and without them, the evening wouldn’t have felt as magical. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. You won’t regret it! We’ll definitely come back next time we’re in Portree.

Good place at the pier, well located. The food was really good, but “gourmet style” which is normally a small portion for a big price, but the quality was good. Short menu but all good I believe. The staff were good and efficient. Good place for a stop in Portree.

Absolutely delicious! Definitely need a reservation, and it's a little unfortunate that you are only able to do that over the phone (since it was an international call for us) but it's worth it! The food was delicious, the location is fun and the staff is very friendly!

Best meal in Portree. Delicious seafood and friendliest service. We walked in without a booking and they accommodated us. Food was excellent and thought it was fairly priced for the quality. Would recommend to any of my friends visiting

The most amazing fresh and tasteful food. Service was friendly professional and very helpful. I could not recommend highly enough popping in for a bite to eat. It will not disappoint

Upscale seafood restaurant right on the harbor, serving delicious locally sourced cuisine. Make sure to call well ahead to make a reservation. Cured salmon was standout, as were the scallops.

Overall good experience. The staff were really lovely, attentive & were helpful in changing our booking (there was a family health emergency so we were really delayed making it to Skye). Nice atmosphere. Our starters & mains were good but found dessert was quite basic. Also, the Caramelised onion soup for starter was nothing special. I would give 4 star over 5 as I think for what it is, it is overpriced. £21 for Fish & Chips, £29 for duck. Which is similar, if not higher to price points of The Ivy Restaurants in London. The banana crumble was good, however, small for £9 a portion. I found the Sticky Toffee a bit dry/plain and the ice cream quite basic (which the menu states comes as 3 scoops, so you end up paying £7.50 for ice cream). For parking, there is limited space directly outside the hotel/restaurant, so I would factor in time to find a parking spot when arriving.

Food was really tasty and service was quick, would have been nice if there wasn’t only one veggie main option. Found the interior of the restaurant to be a bit off though as it was very cold, and had overly bright overhead lighting.

Really disappointing experience. I'd booked this for our final night in Skye, hoping for a dining experience that matched the prices. Service was scant. We saw other tables receive the kind of service I'd expect, with detailed explanation of food, careful attention and engagement. We were sat in a dark corner, given menus and left to our own devices. There was no interaction, no sense that we were anything other than three customers to be processed. We ordered wine which wasn't brought until we asked for it a second time, and well after our main courses arrived. I had to ask for cutlery (no hardship, but not what I'd expect in a restaurant that styles itself as offering "an unforgettable dining experience"). There was a definite sense that the team needed much more support and training to be able to do their jobs. We were compensated for the delayed wine, which was appreciated - but again we had to remind the team that this had been offered. There was no apology from any of the waiting staff, or the restaurant manager - just the bar manager who was exceptionally busy and the only member of the team who had any sense of how to make customers feel welcome. Dulse and Brose need to either improve service or offer a less elevated menu - the prices imply a much better experience than is given. We stayed only because I know restaurants in Portree are hopelessly oversubscribed, but honestly I wish we'd grabbed fish and chips and eaten them on the harbour wall.

Fantastic service and food. We popped in for a light dinner and some drinks. Servers and hosts were all very friendly. Food was very tasty too. The soup of the day was fantastic and I wish I could remember what it was because they need to make that soup a regular dish! Will be back next time we're in Portree.

Dulse & Brose exceeded expectations! The cozy atmosphere and warm service made for a lovely evening. The lamb was a true standout—perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with rich flavor. A must-try for a taste of authentic, top-tier Scottish cuisine.

Delicious food served in a beautiful restaurant. I loved every bite of the food we had. They change their menu season wise, so do look out for that. We were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. Don’t miss it.

Far too overpriced for the quality of the food and service of the waitstaff. I had written a super long review detailing every criticism with my dining experience at Dulse and Brose, but it comes down to overpriced food, a kitchen staff that doesn’t really know how to manage the menu and servers who weren’t rude but were not well trained for a dining experience this expensive. For those interested, kitchen was out of two mains - their seafood and beef. We opted for the salmon trio, venison and butternut squash risotto. The portions were too small for £30-40pp not including wine. Diners behind us found a long hair in their food. My husband’s wine glass had lipstick smudges all around the edges. There is just a lack of attention to detail here, both in service and in the food. Would not recommend.

The venison was delicious and scallops were sumptuous. However, while the staff were friendly and courteous, they could have been more attentive and we had to ask for our first drinks. Food was delivered promptly which was great. The apple crumble promised much but sadly was disappointingly bland - great vanilla custard, though!

A Hidden Gem, Genuine Care and Exceptional Food at The Old School It’s rare to find truly great food in the UK, but we can say with complete honesty that we were blown away by The Old School Restaurant on the Isle of Skye. My partner and I aren’t fussy eaters, but we do have high standards, and this place exceeded them in every way. We’re from England and have dined all over, across England, Scotland, Wales, and abroad, yet this meal truly stood out as something special, and is on our list of one of the more memorable meal experiences. We hadn’t set any expectations before visiting, as we came in without a booking, just looking for a spontaneous evening meal out before leaving the Isle of Skye. The presentation of the food was elegant, the flavours perfectly balanced, and you could truly taste the thought behind each element of the meal. From the moment our meals arrived, it was clear how much care and pride goes into the food here. The presentation was beautiful, the portions generous, and the balance of flavours exceptional. I usually avoid chicken when dining out after too many dry, overcooked versions elsewhere, but this was perfect. The chicken was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, wrapped in bacon that added a gentle smokiness without being greasy or heavy. The gravy was rich and silky tying the flavours together beautifully. The roast vegetables and potatoes were golden, crisp-edged. Everything was full of flavour, and every part of the dish complemented the other with great execution of taste and balance. My partner’s slow-cooked beef was equally outstanding, melt-in-the-mouth soft and full of depth flavour, paired perfectly with smooth mash and a hint of sweetness from the puréed vegetables. Even the smaller details spoke volumes, from the warm, freshly baked bread and butter served with the starter soup, to the attentive yet unpretentious service. Everything felt genuine, cared for, and thoughtfully done. We visited in October 2023, yet we still talk about this meal as one of the best we’ve had. The Old School truly embodies what dining should be, honest, heartfelt, and full of pride in what they do. We sincerely hope they continue with the same passion and standard, because we can’t wait to return one day and relive that wonderful experience.

100% recommend! The food was amazing. Generous portions and so freshly prepared. I had the mussels with chips and my partner had the beef cheek. Followed by an incredible chocolate mousse and the biggest slab of sticky toffee pudding I’ve ever seen. The service was faultless too and the staff were so friendly. An absolute gem of a place! Make sure you book ahead as they get busy.

Stopped in after a day of hiking and sightseeing on Skye. Unfortunately, we were unlucky, and there were no tables available when we stepped in (the people ahead of us got the last table, then another couple got in after us and got in after a cancelation). We had already ordered takeout at that point, which was done really quickly. The takeout menu is small, maybe 4 or 5 mains, only 1 of them vegetarian (Indian curry). I got the fish and chips, which came with a big piece of fish that barely fit inside the container on top of plenty of chips. We had each ordered a beverage to have while we waited, but the food came out so fast we hadn't finished the drinks. The fish was crispy, flaky and had decent chips. They had self serve condiments (ketchup, brown sauce, tartar sauce, vinegar) and cutlery by the entrance. My vegetarian friend enjoyed the butternut squash curry and rice, despite not being a huge fan of Indian food, but it upset her stomach later. More offerings for takeout would be ideal. Didn't think I would need a reservation on a Monday, but I did not know when we would make it to the restaurant.

Stellar food - the mussels are fresh, the slow cooked beef cheek and lamb ragu are fork tender and the portions are generous. The sticky toffee pudding is to die for. So good I went there 3 times during my stay in Skye.

We had a fantastic dinner. The soup was great. We had to get an additional order because we enjoyed it so much. We had 4 different entrees, and each was fantastic. We also had 4 different deserts, each was delicious with the sticky toffee being the winner. All together, we would highly recommend Old School Restaurants. It has been a highlight for food as we traveled all over Scotland.

This restaurant was excellent. All the dishes were quite delicious, tried Haggis for the first time and loved it. Recommended

I wanted to love this place so badly! Our server, Clarice, was a 10! Absolute perfection. Informed. Knowledgeable. Friendly. Enthusiastic. They should be in charge of the whole restaurant. The issue was entirely with the kitchen and their utter lack of knowledge regarding the ingredients in the food they had prepared. One member of our party was a vegetarian who also had a nut allergy. He tried to order the veggie burger, but nobody on the kitchen crew had any idea if the veggie burger patties they prepared had any nuts in them. We were told the chef that prepared those patties had left earlier so there was no way to guarantee it was nut free. Okay.. so he ordered the Lentil Patties instead. Same thing. No one in the kitchen knew if nuts were included that day. Seriously? So, he tried to order a third time. This time he asked for the cauliflower tacos. Poor Clarice had to come back once again and tell us they were not available. At this point, we wanted to leave but because there was a music festival in town, every restaurant was slammed.. so he tried a FOURTH order.. he settled for the nachos. They arrived and were absolute mediocrity. My beef burger had more cheese on it than his order of nachos. It was really upsetting, after everything! And sooo irresponsible. Is there not a standard recipe used when preparing menu items? Do the chefs have total freedom to prepare whatever they want, HOWEVER they want, each and every day? If only one person on staff is informed on what items include allergens and that person leaves early, how can this cafe ever guarantee their food is safe to eat for anyone? If they want to give their chef creative liberties each day, fine. But set the standard on certain items, vegetarian and not, to have never contain major allergens. Get the chef’s phone number so you can call and ASK if they are not present. OR, mind blowing concept apparently, stick to one recipe. OR, have the chef write down the ingredients used in the food they made for that day. It was absolutely ridiculous. Do not recommend. Clarice, however, was perfection.

Great place! We stopped for breakfast, lovely tattie scone. Great vegetarian options. Great coffee, lovely staff. Great vibes too, got chatting to fellow customers.

I actually had a Lorne sausage and tattie scone that were nice!! The rest of the food was very good too. Staff were also really good and friendly. Well worth a visit. Would come to Portree again just for this place.

Ideal for lunch spot. Beer was great, food was good, price was right. It was extremely busy here and had to be patient for food to come out.

A wonderful cafe with a cozy atmosphere with relaxing and chill vibes and a nice place to read a great novel or write a great story. The staff here are very friendly here and even made a couple of recommendations when we didn’t know what to get. The food here is pretty good especially the breakfast which is the speciality that they put most effort into. The Korean chicken with rice is pretty tasty too. The cheese used for the nachos is really good.

Really nice people at this cafe! ☕ I was in a hurry to catch my bus, and they served me the food in no time—super appreciative of that! 🙌 I just wish they had more vegan options. 🌱 Still, a great spot with friendly service

We popped into cafe Arriba with our two dogs and were instantly welcomed in wth the staff paying special attention to our dogs. Other customers/locals were so friendly, had a great chat and laugh with them all. We had coffee,tea,toast and jam and a crispy bacon roll just as ordered..all of it was fantastic. Would have loved to stay all day chatting and eating. Highly recommend a visit.

My partner and I came in a bit late today, and they were still happily serving food. We shared the Cullen skink, scallops, risotto, and chocolate fondant — everything was well-seasoned, generously portioned, and very reasonably priced. Everything was so perfectly cooked as well. The Skye Gold beer was smooth and soft in texture, a perfect pairing. Friendly and welcoming service throughout. Would 100% recommend!

Most delicious food we had during our Scotland trip so far. The salmon was perfect fried and the spinach and potatoes were amazing. The burger was also very juicy and tasty. The restaurant looks so inconspicuous but is definitely worth a visit.

What a lovely way to start discovering Skye… We had a top quality dinner, from the the oysters, the salmon and the garlic focaccia to the best burger so far in the UK!!! And a special award to our waitresses…you rock!

The food? The starters were absolutely delicious— my taste buds threw a party. The mains for the price the quality was expected of a medium entry restaurant, so it was disappointing. The wait time, however? Interstellar. I'm pretty sure we entered a new time zone between starters and mains. We had so much spare time, we ended up doing a deep dive into the restaurant's replies to bad reviews. Let me tell you, Gordon Ramsay wishes he had this level of sass. If you're hungry and patient — or just here for the drama — this place delivers on both counts. For context: it took about 30 minutes to get our starters then we waited almost an hour for our main. On the bright side, we now have a favorite soap opera and it’s in the review section. Save yourself some time and just go to the vastly superior restaurant The Sprig just a couple minutes down the road!

The food here was great. Person who had salmon said it was the best salmon they had ever had in their life. My venison burger was quite good and those who had beef burgers also enjoyed theirs. The sticky toffee pudding was excellent. The price was very high (hence lost a star) and service was friendly.

What a place!!! Would love it to stay a hidden gem but considering the few options on Skye, have to talk about it. Firstly the food...Had multiple items across 2 visits..Fav were the Risotto, the Gnocchi and the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Each of these lip smacking and worth coming back multiple times. Service...Feel guilty to take away a star but definitely understaffed and time management was not the best on both occasions. However, do not let that deter you from visiting here. Have to visit. Warm and cosy ambience with some books and games for kids. Easily the best restaurant on the Isle of Skye and one of our top 5 restaurants across our 14 day holiday in London and Scotland.

Honestly the best restaurant we’ve been to in Scotland, or even the UK overall. We had the mini lobsters, oysters, salmon, and the lamb burger. My husband and I are from the US and South Korea, where fish restaurants are quite common and we both agreed that the salmon was the best we’ve ever had, hands down. Like one of the other reviewers mentioned, we did have to wait a little while after the starter, but honestly, we didn’t mind. After tasting the mains, we completely understood — each plate was so thoughtful and full of care. I’m currently 7 months pregnant, and the staff (especially the lovely lady who looked after us) was incredibly attentive, making sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Only downside? My pregnancy brain forgot to think straight, and I accidentally left my bag on the chair! 😭😂 We’re still trying to call the restaurant to pick it up, but it opens at 5pm — so yeah, don’t be like me and triple check your chair before you leave!

Sometimes, when one bites into a slice of pizza, one doesn’t merely taste cheese or sauce, one confronts the mysteries of existence itself. Your kind words reached us like a message slipped under the door of an unknown bureaucracy of flavor confirming that, perhaps, our humble oven does whisper truths in tomato and smoke. The crust, imperfect yet persistent; the cheese, molten yet merciful together they strive, as we all do, to make sense of this strange, delicious world. Thank you kindly from Australia, New Zealand and Germany.

Great food, including gluten free pizza! Which is not amazing but still good enough to enjoy. The staff is very friendly, with a good taste in music, which volume is not too loud. Great place if you need some comfort food and a happy stomach.

If you like meat, order the Deamhan pizza. And thank me later. I added feta & basil oil and it was next level. Easily the best pizza I’ve had outside of Italy. The special cocktail (Limoncello Sunrise) was lovely and really well priced. Service staff were super cool too, we really felt at home here. Don’t miss this place, the 4.3 rating is a lie!

Stoped at Gin Distillery located beside restaurant and popped in for quick bite. Pleasantly surprised by an outstanding meal all around. Great soup specials and wow. Loved the Pesto Ravioli on the special board. Five star meal in an unassuming road house.

I was expecting more based on the reviews. The pizza crust had a limp mealy texture and was a bit soggy, not the crisp chewy texture you want from wood fired. The sauce and toppings were good. The soup was pretty good, but overall it wasn’t worth it. The best I can say is that it came out really fast and the people were nice. We won’t be back.

Best food we’ve had while visiting the isle of Skye. The staff were very friendly too. We plan on coming again before our departure 😁

I had the demon pizza and onion rings, the table ordering didn't work since I am from outside the UK. Service was very quick and we were able to eat quickly. Daily specials keep things interesting.

Get to this place early if you’re expecting dinner. 1700 was perfect. Make sure to put your name on the list. We got a pint at the bar, sat and hung out for about 45 minutes until our table was ready. Service was quick and efficient and the food was delicious. My wife got the Chicken Schnitzel and I had the Steak Pie. Great vibes, highly recommend! BUT, like I mentioned, get there early as they don’t take reservations.

Stopped in for lunch while visiting Portree, and we found the meals to be very tasty. Service might have been a touch slow, but it was not a problem for us. Nice veg options for my wife.

We came for the food but stayed for the atmosphere. The first night we came, it was packed, but we sat and had a few drinks while we waited. The staff made us feel so comfortable and at ease. When we were sat, they seen to us promptly and politely. The food was great and ticked all the boxes for us. When my partner started to not feel well, they were considerate and accommodating. We promised to come back the next day for the dessert we didn't have. When we came back the next night, they remembered us and saw to us quickly, and the dessert was worth the wait! For anyone coming outside of Scotland, this is the place to get a feel for the best of our culture. We stayed for the live music and had a great last night in Skye. Thank you to the staff, we'll see you again.

Average food, below average service. Cosy bar well located in Portree. From when we were greeted at around 4pm the bar half was full, food served from 5pm in the restaurant half. The staff member who greeted us was very blunt and short. As was the service we experienced and witnessed from then until when we left. The venue should be grateful for a heavy footfall not make it seem that everyone that walked in was an inconvenience that they were busy. The receipt and card machine just put on the table no conversation or anything, haven't pressed 'no tip' as quickly as that ever. Little things go a long way.

Avoid We didn’t have much choices in this town as it is not very dog friendly (as dog unfriendly as the rest of Scotland to be fair) so this was one of the few places that we could go to as we were with our golden retriever. Anyway, we went to this pub and got on the waiting list. Once our time was to come to the table after 30-45 minutes waiting and been called by a very rude server (the lady in glasses and a piercing), we placed our order and didn’t get our food (or an update nor an apology) for 45 minutes. The food came to the table after we asked for it 30 minutes into the waiting. One of the dishes was of good quality but the fish and chips was the worse one I have ever had. Summary: terrible place, terrible service, terrible food. Avoid

We arrived to the pub later on a Wednesday evening. Everyone had us worried that we had no reservations. Well no problem here. We came in sat at the bar for a pint and for a short 25 minute wait and then enjoyed a gigantic Meat pie, way too big for my mom to finish and a burger with salad, which sometimes mean lettuce and tomato on the burger or it means a little side salad. The food was wonderful, the waiter was very nice.

Stayed here for three nights in a triple room which was very spacious and clean! There was a kettle, a very small mini fridge (fit about three small bottles of water) and some hot beverage options. The bathroom was quite large. Lots of issues with keeping the shower water hot and needing to flush the toilet twice to make sure it worked properly. We were on the third floor and there is no lift, which was fine for us, but may be an issue for people who have mobility issues. It was surprisingly quiet at night, even over the weekend. The staff were very friendly and we did eat one meal here which was delicious. It is directly across from the bus station and close to many restaurants and shops. There is a rather unfortunate smell of cat pee at the entrance to the stairs; unsure if it was the men’s washroom or the carpet on the stairs but it was very off putting. Overall it was a good experience and would stay again!

An absolute gem of a place with just a couple of tables. Felt very warm and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed the adventure of going through all the beautifully cooked seafood. Was a shame I wasn't near this time and had to drive so could not enjoy the wine flights!

What an amazing experience! The staff were so welcoming to everyone who came! There are only a few tables and you NEED to make reservations well in advance- if you can, several days to weeks. Staff were so wonderful about explaining the intricacy of each dish and answering and further questions we had. We did not have a dish we didn’t enjoy. You aren’t rushed at all and can savor the meal and wine over several hours. Thanking the chef was also a treat!

We had a fantastic dinner experience at the restaurant. The staff was friendly, attentive, and an absolute delight. As for the food, it's hard to put into words just how amazing it was; the flavors were outstanding, and the seafood was incredibly fresh. What truly stood out was the laid-back atmosphere, making the evening even more enjoyable.

I had a wonderful dinner at Loch Bay. I emailed the restaurant for reservations and pre-paid for the meal using the link provided. The entire meal was seafood focused and featured things like oysters, scallops, langoustines, lobster, monkfish, and mussels. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. For dessert, we were able to choose between a warm almond tart with rhubarb and strawberry, blood orange sorbet, and lemon & ginger ice cream or a cheese plate. The warm almond tart was delicious! I would highly recommend making time to eat at Loch Bay Restaurant if you are visiting Isle of Skye.

In August I had the pleasure of going back to Lochbay again for the third time and if you are a seafood lover you won't be disappointed. Lochbay is about a local as it get can. Excellent local seafood paired with lovely and experienced staff who have all worked there since the beginning. The atmosphere is very cosy as the restaurant has only 18 seats. Yes you have to book in advance. A real hidden gem in the heart of the lovely little village Stein. Would return in a heartbeat and thanks so much for that memorable experience.

Wonderful setting. Excellent food. Fab service and atmosphere.

Outstanding. Remote location which is settled within a row of fisherman cottages. Cosy, romantic and professional. We arrived during the covid fallout. Only 2 staff - chef Michael Smith and front of house. Both looking after 4 tables. Everything was respectful, friendly and unpretentious. We were lucky to experience a seafood extravaganza of a tasting menu. As expected the ingredients and produce is fresh and matched with delightful wines. Chef treats you to a flavourable trip around Skye's best offerings from the sea. In particular the happiness of tasting the Langoustine bisque will stick in the memory. Then we were later spoiled with a half bay lobster with chanterelles. I understand the buzz surrounding the restaurant and it certainly backs this up. Enjoy.

We had the opportunity to taste these delights on our Isle of the Skye Tour with WOW Tours. The lunches were very tasty. 3 of my group selected the Vegan sandwiches and said they were the best they've ever had. Desserts included with the Vegan option were delicious chocolate cakes with Expresso cream frosting. I had the Mushroom Quiche that was delightful and it included a small side salad and 2 small cup cake Desserts that were delicious. I added a cheese and butter scone and fruit bar. Everything was scrumptious and gobbled up rather quickly. This have us the fuel to complete the 3 mile hike at the Fairy Pools. When we picked up our lunches on our tour route, the art gallery / bakery showcased some amazing local artwork.

Ordered through the tour company WOW and the online process was super easy. Great options and easy checkout. I was able to ask for no dairy and she was most definitely able to make adjustments. We picked up our lunch sacks and the orders were correct. The sandwich was delicious (gammon and chutney & the vegan with hummus). The added pastry was a surprise and much appreciated. Great value great meal and great experience.

We did a tour through WOW Scotland and had Lisa fix us lunch. It was amazing! I had the bacon and leek quiche and my friend had a pasta salad. The cookies were delicious and there was a Walnut Zucchini muffin that was the highlight of the lunch (for me). If you stop by, you have to see the art gallery. So many unique pieces to browse. I bought one to bring back home with me. I’ll definitely return when I come back to the Isle of Skye. ❤️ Thank you, Lisa, for your hospitality!

I ordered lunch during my tour of Skye (via WOW Scotland, also highly recommended) and was delighted with the quality of the ingredients, the preparation, and the gluten-free options! Liza was very kind and welcoming, and I was able to pick up a beautiful piece of vintage jewellery in the art gallery upstairs during our stop. A series of delightful surprises!

I was on a tour of the Isle of Skye through Wow Scotland. The tour company arranged for lunch to go. We individually ordered online, picked up the lunches on the way. I had the bacon & leek quiche, salad, a little cake. I also ordered an apple scone. Everything was fabulous! The quiche was delicious even cold! The scone only had butter (I didn’t order the extra jam) I didn’t need it. So good! Treat yourself and stop by. You won’t regret it!

We ordered a packed lunch from the Isle of Skye Baking Company and it was absolutely perfect—from the thoughtful presentation to the delicious, homemade flavors. Everything was clearly made and packed with care, down to the smallest detail. The gammon ham sandwich (slow-roasted for 10 hours!) on potato bread with apple relish was a standout—flavorful, fresh, and genuinely comforting. The snack box was a hit with my daughter: a generous mix of cheese, fresh fruit, ham, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, bread, and the perfect little slice of chocolate cake to end on a sweet note. This is clearly a small, heart-driven local business run by a lovely couple, and it shows.

We loved everything we got from the Isle of Skye Baking company. We stopped by while we were on a WOW tour of the Isle of Skye from Inverness (also wonderful) and picked up takeaway lunches. We ordered ahead of time and had several great options. We had the spicy sweet potato stuffed bread and the ham pizza. Both were delicious! Not pictured because we ate them too fast to stop and take a photo. Also included in our meals were shortbread cookies, a zucchini cake, and a chocolate espresso cake. We loved everything we had. We also added on a lemon drizzle cake which we saved for our train ride back to Edinburgh, and even a day later it was incredible. If you have a chance to stop by for some pastries, for lunch, or to look at the lovely art gallery that’s connected, we would highly recommend it! We also purchased some art from the gallery that was hand made by a local artist, they have some beautiful pieces mostly depicting the Isle of Skye.

Lephin is a great pitstop when we’re coming back from Neist Lighthouse! Coffee and pastry is great — the staff recommended Victoria Sponge, and it’s light and delicious! Cream doesn’t feel too heavy. Also a very chill environment to take a quick break before we continue our journey.

Absolutely lovely cafe! The hazelnut latte was perfection, and our cheese scones were delightful! We also shared an apple flapjack. Loved every sip and bite.

Cozy vibes on a rainy day with delicious coffee, baked goods, and lunch! The staff are extremely kind as well. I forgot my purse and the helpful staff held it overnight until I could retrieve it. Five stars for the food and vibes, a hundred stars for the kindness.

A wonderful cafe! We tried a panini, soup, scone, cake, and a brownie, and everything was delicious. The space is warm, cozy, and welcoming, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. It’s the perfect spot to relax and refuel after a day’s hike.

Wonderful spot for lunch, great coffee. Had the bagel which was tasty! A must stop in my opinion

Such a lovely little café! We stopped here by chance while exploring Skye and it was a great surprise; cozy atmosphere, friendly people, and really good bagels, soups, coffee and cakes. A little gift shop inside is a lovely plus. Perfect stop on the road to relax and enjoy. Highly recommend!

For me this is by far the best lunch/coffee spot on Skye. If you love your coffee, you need to stop by here. Nothing comes close. Soups, bagels, sandwiches & home baking are always so fresh! The Service is exactly what I would expect coming to the Scottish islands……..amazing! Anytime I bring clients to Skye I’m always excited if I get to stop by this place.

Just got charged £5 for this (double espresso ) They're having a laugh? Dreamers

Great breakfast at a reasonable price. Very good service.

Delicious breakfasts especially my vegan one. Lovely service and really friendly staff. Cool surprise decor 🚲. Nice seats and views.

Found this cafe by accidwnt ,wish I had known about it before. Food lovely service great ,normal prices and just a nice place to sit. Would definitely recommend this place. 👌

A nice castle and grounds. Lovely waterfalls, flowers and scenery. The castle itself was nice but I've been to better. All the staff were friendly and provided some extra information when asked. Also saw a couple of seals not far from the castle walls. A short video at the end of the tour also gives some history to the castle, told by the current owner. Not suitable for those using wheelchairs as a lot of the paths in the gardens were either quite narrow or very bumpy. Inside the castle, it being from the middle ages, had a lot of stairs and no lift (pretty sure this would be mentioned on the official website). There is, of course, a gift shop, in fact two, one inside the castle and one outside along with a cafe. Prices are as expected in these kinds of places.

I was there on a bit of a rainy day, do I have not seen much of the gardens. What I saw was nice and well kept. The castle tour itself is small, but nice and everything is lovingly arranged. The absolute highlight was the seal tour! When I saw the size of the boats, I second guessed my decision, but it turned out amazing! We where lucky that a lot of seals where out and we got really close, while respectfully keeping our distance. The seals did not seem to bother. The staff throughout was really friendly and helpful. The combo ticket garden & castle might be a bit expensive with 17£ (the seal tour is extra) but I still enjoyed it very much

All the staff we encountered were friendly and polite. The castle itself is great - a few surprises on the way round. The exhibits are interesting and varied. I was with my father who needs a wheelchair for walking long distances. The staff at the payment counter and at the entrance to the castle were courteous and thoughtful. The website is also open and honest about its accessibility. An excellent visit.

A great day out, lovely to go inside the oldest inhabited castle in Scotland. Some wonderful art and artifacts on display. Wouldn't fancy a spell in the dungeon. A nice welcome from one of the guides. The views from the castle were amazing. We spent a couple of hours wandering around the beautiful gardens, so well laid out, a beautiful waterfall, and the giant 2.7 tonne pebble you can spin around. The trees 🌳 and plants were spectacular. We had a delicious late lunch in the café, good toilet facilities in the car park. Large car park, busy because it was a hot sunny day. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Friendly welcoming staff. Beautifully kept castle and garden grounds. Garden feature of waterful is beautifully landscaped. The Walled garden with vegetable patch glasshouse with exotic plants was pretty. They have boat tours to see the seals dependent on weather. The Food at the cafe was really tasty. Husband had brie and bacon panini and I had a very nice quiche.

Great way to spend a day with children. The castle has keys hidden in every room for kids to find, and they get a prize at the end if they find them! Great way to keep them interested. The outdoor play area is wonderful. There’s even a seal boat and a hike that leads you to a tree tunnel.

This place was awesome!!! The castle was very, very cool, but the gardens were just kick ass. I love taking closeup flower pics, and i probably took over 100 different flower shots, but with my camera, so can't post here unless I edit later... I think we spent about 4 hrs here. Would have loved to sit down and just relaxed for another.

We came out of desperation because all the other places on easter Saturday in Portree were booked out. Turned out to be a decent spot, there are quite bright tables in front of the restaurant or booth-like tables at back, where we were sitting. They were a bit darker tho. The service was fast and friendly. The food was also decent, we recommend the mussels (with a positively surprising sauce) and the fish soup - it was great. Other than that fish and chips and salads were good. We havent tried any cocktails but they looked great

Staying in Portree and stopped here for a light dinner. The sauce for the muscles was delicious! Also had soup of the day which was a tomato and red pepper bisque. Fantastic! I posted the new and current menu since the one on I saw here was out of date.

We walked right up with a party of six in May 2025 for dinner service. They have a full menu with delicious offerings from fish and chips to daily specials like sweet potato risotto. We had an awesome meal and the service was fast and friendly. We had three kids with us and it was great for all ages.

It has a well seasoned mussel, delicious and wholesome. We orders tomato soup and chicken caesar salad. They were delicious too. Love the vibes in this place. Pers are allowed inside the restaurant. And you can order drinks and sit outside too.

This busy coffee shop is located overlooking the village square in Portree. Service was quick, staff nice. Small range of cakes, coffee a bit burnt.

Menu wasn't clear that fries were included. So we ordered fries as everything was listed seperately that you had to pay for such as lettuce, tomatoe etc. When the burgers came it had fries with it and then they brought out the sides of fries. When we said the menu wasn't clear, they did apologise and take the side of fries back and didn't charge us. But they charge you £1 to have a slice of tomatoe on your burger, and if you want a leaf of lettuce it's another £1! Burgers also came wrapped in foil, assuming they precook them and it's to keep them warm, but it meant the buns were slightly moist and the beef burger was very thin. The chicken burger was better quality. Atmosphere and decor was good, and it was clean.

The menu for food is burger or nothing. It's a sort of build your own burger - choose the meat, then add extras. The extras include things like tomato £1, lettuce £1, gherkins, sauces etc - very expensive in my opinion. Not even bacon or cheese. We therefore assumed you had to choose and pay for your side so ordered fries. When they brought the food out, the burger came with fries already and then they brought out the extras we had unwittingly ordered. To their credit, they instantly took the extra fries away and we didn't have to pay for them. But it needs to be made clearer on the menu. The waiter did at least tell the table next to ours that the burger came with fries when they also ordered them from the list of sides. I had the chicken burger which was ok, my friend's hamburger was very pathetic looking. It's also served to you with the burger wrapped in tin foil. This is either a monumental waste of resources for a reason I can't fathom, or more likely, they're cooked in advance and kept warm until ordered in foil. It did make the bun somewhat soggy. The fries were nice but mine had an insane amount of salt on them (see photo of all the salt left at the end) to the point that I was having to shake each one or scrape it on the dish before I ate it. However, it's only fair to say my friend's fries were salty but not as bad. We also had a side of onion rings which were nothing to write home about - I've had much better in pubs at home. Service is automatically added to the bill which I don't like. The staff however were very friendly. 😀

We dropped in for lunch. Really good fish and chips. Nice, light and crispy beer batter on the fish and a decent sized portion. Also came with peas which if were minted and mushy would have elevated it to the next level. The scallops with black pudding were delicious and came with a garlicky pea puree. The prices were a little higher than other places but it was well above average. The staff were friendly and helpful. Poor beer selection though.

Wonderful place! The restaurant seems family-run and has a warm, very Scottish atmosphere. It’s attached to a hotel but open to everyone, and we noticed many locals dining there too. The menu is small but offers excellent dishes with something for everyone. My husband and I had the fajitas – huge portions and absolutely delicious. Truly recommend!

As we crossed the Isle of Skye, we were overwhelmed by its beauty and peace — and arriving at Edinbane Inn was a perfect continuation of that feeling. We were warmly welcomed by a friendly and humorous gentleman. Our room had everything we needed — very clean, comfortable, and with a spacious bathroom. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was absolutely divine! We tried the traditional fish and chips and a salmon dish — both delicious. Breakfast the next morning was just as impressive, with plenty of variety. We had fresh fruit salad and toast with scrambled eggs and salmon. The lady who served us was exceptionally kind and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. A truly special stay — highly recommended!

Stayed for one night with my wife & had a wonderful time! Located right near the Dunvegan Castle. Outstanding dinner & breakfast, very clean accommodations. Would personally recommend the Homemade Wild Skye venison burger in a homemade bun & the Edinbane Inn chocolate brownie, vanilla ice cream. Would recommend & the manager was extremely helpful/kind. Thanks again!

Called in with my wife for dinner without a reservation. We were given a table straight away. This was a weekday so I'm not sure if this would have been possible at a weekend. The staff were pleasant and friendly. The menu was not extensive but offered a good choice. We shared as a starter the charcutery board which looked impressive and was delicious as were the other courses. A very pleasant evening.

This review is for the restaurant only. Quite disappointed by our visit to Edinbane Inn, given the reviews were good. The food especially was disappointing; my partner had a lamb, black pudding and haggis burger, which was over £20 but was miniscule, the chicken for the fatijas was overcooked and dry, while the pie was sadly not a pie. Really disappointing. The service was fantastic, which is why I've gone for 3 stars instead of 2. Lovely people, but disappointing food.

Got charged £80 for one of the most underwhelming meals I’ve ever had. I never send food back anywhere, or write reviews, but this was rough. Staff were pleasant, but avoid Indian themed night. That was NOT Indian food. Way overpriced for a meal I didn’t even eat.

To begin with, the mussels we ordered were nicely sauced and quite tasty. The calamari was decent. For the main course, we tried four different dishes, and unfortunately, none of them were particularly good. Fish and chips, shrimp and chips, fish pie, and grilled salmon — all were mediocre at best. There are lots of small flies right in front of the restaurant, and some make their way inside. They were biting us while we ate, which was quite unpleasant. This is definitely something that should be addressed. The beers were local and nice. However, there was no draft beer, and the bottled beers were not cold. The service staff was friendly. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Perfectly located to view the water and boats, we enjoyed our meal. We did have to wait, but the staff were so nice and accommodated our family of 5! Once seated, we didnt wait long on our food. The food was okay. I would definitely say my fish pie was the best out of the scampi, fish and chips, scallops, and fish pie.

Good seafood restaurant by the pier. The service was great, the food was served quickly and our order tasted as expected. Mussels was delicious with cream sauce added to the better than average meal. The sea bass pesto was average.

We were able to get seats at Lower Deck right away at around 7 pm on a Saturday (party of 3). However, they were pretty busy and there was a constant stream of people waiting. They don't take reservations so you have no choice but to wait. I got the fisherman's pie and a side salad. The fisherman's pie is like a shepherd's pie except with a dish filling. It has a good amount of fish and a nice warm meal. We also tried the sticky toffee pudding. It seemed to have some extra spice in it like a ginger cake and that was hit or miss for our group.

We got in immediately at lunchtime on a Sunday. I had the calamari, which I was told was fresh caught. It was quite good and not chewy at all. Cullen skink was good, a bit thin for my liking, but still delicious. We had the sticky toffee pudding to share and it was delightful! Several gluten free options available.

The Lower Deck is Portree's quintessential seafood spot! The fresh, local catch—especially the Cullen Skink and salmon—is absolutely delicious and full of flavour. The harbour views are unbeatable, and the warm, friendly service makes the whole dining experience a true highlight of any Skye trip. A must-visit!

After attempting to have lunch at the Lower Deck in Portree, we were refused entry to the restaurant because of an assistance dog for epilepsy. We were told that they did not care, accused of lying, and were asked to leave. Staff also stated that the law did not apply to them. This is deeply disappointing, particularly as we had heard positive things about this restaurant. Such treatment not only reflects poor customer service but also appears to be in breach of the Equality Act 2010, which protects the rights of individuals with disabilities and requires businesses to make reasonable adjustments, including allowing access for assistance dogs.

We had the fish and chips and onion tarte tatin. The fish was fresh, batter was crisp. I don’t usually like fries, but these were well seasoned, crispy and fluffy inside. The onion tarte tatin was a highlight. The tart was cruchy, onions caramelised and the balsamic vinegar brings refreshing balance. The service staff were inviting and enthusiastic about the food themselves. We arrived at 6pm on a Wednesday (late July) and waited for 15-20minutes.

This place was wonderful! Maybe one of the best meals we have had here in Scotland. The seafood was amazing! The service was wonderful and the sticky toffee pudding was an absolute miracle! My wife and I had the seafood platter for two and it was perfection. The mussels we had were flavored perfectly. Our friends both had the catch of the day and it was wonderful as well. They don’t take reservations so you need to queue up, but worth the wait. Sister restaurant to the Sea Breezes.

Such good seafood! Fresh and in very very fair portions! Mussels were buttery and delicious. Scallops were seared very well. Salmon was cooked perfectly and came in a large fillet. Good portion of potatoes and seasoning. We shared one platter for 2 people! Delicious. Busy for a reason, expect a slight wait!

Good quality seafood. Servers and bartenders were very friendly, although service was a bit less polished than we expected. The walk-in system was a bit slipshod around the door. Scallops were a standout.

We're staying at a traditional hotel in Portree on the Isle of Skye, which is right opposite The Cuchullin restaurant. The hotel is in a great location in the town centre. The restaurant offers excellent fish cakes and a large size seafood platter, with pricing at £45 for one or £80 for two. Their two or three-course set menu options are also quite decent.

Oh my gosh, 5 stars just isn’t enough for a place like this! The food here is amazing. The quality and portion of the food for their 3 course meal is outstanding and on top of that the staff are so so friendly and attentive! Even when it was packed they still had seats quickly available for people walking in. Also, the atmosphere is so warm and cozy! I was on a bus tour visiting for the evening and was torn between what restaurant to choose as apparently they all are great but I genuinely think this one has to be the best! Try the other places but come here first!!

The attitude of the staff is a problem and the food is terrible! Look to the chips ! I asked them if they are overcooked and the young man said it is nice cooked! It is really unbelievable to what i see and hear ! They cannot even cook a proper fish and chips , so do you think they can make anything else better? For years i can see this restaurants are going to downhill ! Please skip this restaurant and do not waste time &money there! If you really want something nice , portree hotel is a good choice and the bakery shop next to the bank of scotland is great as well

We stopped here for dinner and had a mixed experience. The Cajun chicken was unexpectedly delicious — full of flavor and perfectly cooked. However, the seafood platter was underwhelming. It lacked freshness and excitement, and the oyster in particular seemed dry and not very fresh, which was disappointing. That said, the meal ended on a high note with the sticky toffee pudding, which was absolutely fantastic — rich, warm, and satisfying. The coffee was also enjoyable, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. A decent spot overall, but we’d probably skip the seafood next time and stick to the other dishes.

The Claymore is what you’d wish to see after a long cold day on the Isle of Skye. It’s sturdy, hearty food with no-nonsense attitude is exactly what we needed after a long day on the road. We visited in late June, and the restaurant is completely packed. Visited at 6:30 and it is packed to the rim, and we waited 30 minutes to be seated. Diners were still piling when we left at 9:00. No reservations, so do pop in early to guarantee a table. Service is stellar and quick (compared to other restaurants in town which could be a bit of a wait). The front of house was welcoming and our waitress is superb. Food and drinks - a bit of hit and miss. We ordered the soup of the day (lentil soup) [Good], Skye Ale [not good, go for the regular pint instead], Fish with tomato and chorizo [Alright], and Burger and chips [Below average pub quality]. We didn’t order dessert but heard great feedback from our neighbours. Overall, a good spot to dine, good and quick service.

On our tour of the isle of Skye decided to pop into Claymore simply because I just loved the name of the restaurant. Food was delectable and really enjoyed the place. Beautiful food.

Good dinner right off the main road. Delicious seafood and whisky selections. No reservations so you may have to wait a little bit.

So delighted to have this pop up on our search for a restaurant en-route. There weren't many open on a Sunday and the first we called in to didn't suit our taste in food or ambiance. The Claymore was next to try, a seafood restaurant with a lovely ambience, delightful staff and a menu that served our tastes. I chose a cod dish with a langoustine, mussels and squats (a first for me! - delicious); hubby chose a burger with haggis - perfect for him! As I am gluten-free, I then followed with the sticky-toffee pudding with ice cream, as such gf desserts are not common. It, too, was delicious, although the portion was exceedingly generous and I will need a few workouts to work it off! When we get the opportunity, we'd love to come back. They don't take bookings, first-come, first served. We were seated promptly, but by the time we left, there was a long queue of peeps waiting.

staff very friendly and helpful. the seafood platter was fantastic. I'll definitely be trying to use again before leaving. chicken wings for a starter so no point in adding a picture of them

Very cozy little restaurant off the main road as you drive through to Skye. We stopped here without a reservation and, as a group of 6 (including a dog and 2 kids), we were lucky to get a big table at the front to accommodate us. Service was nice but slow...they were very busy though. Good drink variety; menu as well. Not a TON if you don't like fish. No kids menu so just shared our adult meals to make them a plate. The food was delicious. The sticky toffee pudding though not traditional, was amazing.

We arrived at night after a long trip. The food was great. The chicken was tender and tasty. The garlic naan was pleasant. Our server (a young man) was very nice. We had a good time there. I was hesitant to visit this restaurant because of the lower reviews. My wife insisted to try because the low reviews were not about the food. As our food arrived I was glad she insisted because it was very good. Our server was nice and helpful. I didn't know what to pick and he gave me very good recommendations based on my needs.

After a walk to The Old Man of Stor we were all very hungry. We climbed the stairs to the restaurant. It was early evening and quiet. We ordered drinks. An extensive menu offering the usual favourites and Bengali and Hindu dishes. We selected onion Bhaji, followed by a Bengali fish dish, chicken dhansak, chicken bhoona and Relaz chicken. We shared rice and nann bread. Everyone agreed it was a good curry and what we needed after a long hike.

This wasn't our first time at Taste of India and it's been consistently good 👍❤️ We both had Joipuri with rice and poppadoms to start with. Staff were very nice and friendly. Food arrived quickly. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

King prawn Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Butter are really deliciousssssssssssss Sugguest for dinner 👍✨ Garlic and Chesse Nan also good option✨

We visited the restaurant and ordered two chicken biryanis, chicken tikka, and butter chicken. The biryani wasn’t my favorite, but the butter chicken and tikka were good. The staff were friendly and polite, and the service was nice overall.

I genuinely did not expect to find Indian food in one of the farthest corners of the Isle of Skye, so stumbling upon Taste of India felt like a pleasant surprise. After days in the cold October–November weather, I was really craving something warm and familiar, and I was happy to see Indian cuisine on offer in such a remote location. The food itself was… decent to okay. Warm, comforting, and it satisfied the craving, but the flavours and quality felt average to sub-standard. I understand the challenges—different water, local ingredient sourcing, and adapting dishes to suit local Highland tastes can naturally result in a modified, “pseudo-Indian” profile. Given the geographics, I wasn’t expecting Michelin-star authenticity; I was still glad to get a hot curry in the Highlands! However, the service was the biggest let-down. One staff member in particular was extremely rude to guests who politely asked about waiting times, bluntly saying: “If you want fresh food here, you wait, or leave.” A simple smile and polite communication could have changed the entire atmosphere. What bothered me more was noticing this attitude directed mainly at Indians or Asian-looking guests, while the tone with others seemed notably different — which was disappointing and uncomfortable to witness. Being from London (though originally Indian), I experienced something similar myself when paying. Their card system had a network issue, and before I could explain, the manager assumed I had a foreign card and brusquely told me to “go get cash.” When I clarified I had a UK bank card, the tone shifted instantly and suddenly card arrangements were made — which shouldn't be the case at a professional establishment. Overall, while I’m grateful to have found Indian food in such a remote part of Scotland, the service experience overshadowed the meal. With some warmth, cultural sensitivity, and customer-care training, this restaurant could easily offer a much more welcoming and enjoyable experience for everyone. I hope they take this feedback constructively, because it really could be a wonderful stop for travellers craving a taste of home.

Amazing food and such a lovely service from the team! Our mains were recommended to us and he got them spot on. Would definitely recommend - lovely cosy atmosphere on a windy evening!

Make a reservation online as it gets really crowded around dinner time. The salmon fillet was good, but a little salty. We loved the mushroom and potatoes as well, the cream sauce went well with the grilled potatoes. Portions were huge and good for sharing

Safe for our celiac eater that needs to eat gluten free. Probably the best meal we had in Portree and we ate at more expensive places with great views. Fantastic food. Reservations fill up, so make them early. They do save spots if you are staying in the hotel. Breakfast was also fantastic

One of the best lunches we’ve had in Scotland! Make sure to arrive early as it’s limited eating and can get crowded with tourists. The goat cheese burger was phenomenal great flavors and a slight sweetness but not overwhelming. Caesar salad was fresh and dressed appropriately. Chicken Parmesan sandwich had plenty of meat and all plates were large servings. Good value for money.

Stayed at the Hotel Portree and ate four times at the on-site restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was especially good – great food and large portions. Food and service was excellent. Tip – if you want to eat dinner in the restaurant (which is well worth it), call ahead to book reservations, they were turning lots of people away.

Best food we've had on our UK trip. Everything was fresh and made locally. Very flavorful. Great menu. Really nice staff.

Make a reservation many weeks beforehand on the days you know you will be here. My wife who is gluten free enjoyed the meat slices. I enjoyed the cod and gnocchi. Kids gobbled up their fish and chips. Kids had ice cream and we enjoyed our two desserts as well! Expensive but sometimes you gotta enjoy!

Lovely server called Emily. Nice selection of cakes & cookies & coffee. A place to plug your phone in. So far so good…So disappointed- the dreadful state of the seats! Shameful. And as a Scot I’m embarrassed that this is what we expect our foreign visitors to sit on and remember from their visit. Sad.

Many google maps review are not very reliable BUT this intimate dining experience deserves more than max stars! I'm surprised it's not on White guide or got at least one Michelin star yet! Beautifully prepared food with excellent tea pairing. Friendly and very zen atmosphere. One of the best experiences I've had! Love it! 💖

We came here for dinner on our last night in Skye and it ended up being the best meal of our trip! It’s in a remote area of island with a cozy, intimate atmosphere. The food was incredible. Such a unique spot, it’s worthy of a Michelin! Thank you for a wonderful meal

Absolutely delicious food, and the tea pairings were a lot of fun It is a small intimate restaurant offering a unique experience, and I am so glad we got the opportunity to go. We were staying up the road and our B&B owner recommended this restaurant, saying that her guests always rated it incredibly highly. It absolutely did not disappoint. The food was beautiful, and we genuinely considered going back for multiple nights of our stay. I don't think I'd be able to visit Skye again without going back to Chidakasha.

Chidakasha, in quiet and remote location makes this restaurant along with its fabulously delicious and presented dishes, a very special place. The atmosphere was so comfortable on a chilly evening and our server, Harriot was simply charming. Whether you are a vegetarian or not, one must visit for a truly amazing experience.

Absolutely fantastic meal, lovely service and honestly a place that is truly deserving to be on the Michelin guide. If you are the in the area, the tea pairing meal is 100% worth a try! Thank you so much for having us last night - we had a blast!

Beautiful little place. I’ve been Veggie for nearly 10 years and I’m always on the lookout for vegetarian finds - this is easily one of the best vegetarian restaurants I’ve been to. Such wonderful flavours with a beautifully thought out menu. Lovely atmosphere and the tea pairings were unique and varied. Highly recommended for anyone who visits Skye and wants their meal out to feel like a real event.

One of the best restaurants I've eaten in. Inspiring and beautiful vegetarian food in a relaxing setting. A set menu with tea pairing which was delicious. Really, really delicious.

“Prince of India” - Not sure why they use “India” in their restaurant name for a Bangladeshi restaurant. Very rude behaviour from the staff. They don’t accept card / bank transfer & force you to pay in cash. The table cloth wasn’t even clean & had food stains. We were asked to order for minimum £12.95 per person. Staff cleaned up the dishes even before us finished eating. Would never recommend it. There is no signal in the area which is why we ended up in this restaurant without checking reviews! Huge regret.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! Well what can I say? We saw the average rating of 2.6 stars on google maps but really fancied an Indian. So went in with an open mind. Very quickly, that open mind, began to narrow. Upon entering the establishment we were greeted with what smelt like old, dirty ‘PE kit’ aroma filling the seating area. The place reminded me of an old 70’s horror movie scene where the couple enter a very shady looking place before getting murdered. We were shown to our quite small table, given menus and time to read them. The decor is a weird mixture of old English pub (lots of countryside framed pictures) surrounded by Indian themed paraphernalia. Each corner of the room also had an automatic air freshener. Perhaps they had run out? Amongst all that were three CCTV cameras, probably more. Let’s not forget the garish flashing/colour changing (Blackpool illuminations?) LEDs around the bar which seemed to be in competition with a broken flashing bulb on a wall lamp opposite. It was a bit like morse code and no doubt was desperately messaging ‘get me and yourselves outta here!’ Not a great start. Perhaps I should have learnt morse code so that we could have done a runner there and then. The waiter took our order whilst telling us that naan breads were not available until 6pm. I’m we asked if they did any fruity ciders to which he said yes. Turns out the only cider they do is a small bottle of Magners. I suppose apple is a fruit. As we were eating our poppadum starters we were serenaded by the clattering and sucking noises of a waiter who had decided to vacuum the restaurant with a Henry Hoover. Other customers had started to arrive who had to raise their voices to be heard by each other, even across their small tables. At least our chances of being murdered had lowered. I thought perhaps something had been spilt and this was an emergency cleanup. Wrong! He had almost done half of the restaurant by the time our small and flat onion bhajis arrived. I asked our waiter if the vacuuming would be going on much longer. Thankfully he took the hint and got the guy to stop. My chicken jalfrezi was pleasantly nice and of a decent sized portion. The pilau rice was good but very small portion. The wife’s tikka masala looked a bit fluorescent, tasted bland and was too watery. I finished quite quickly without feeling full. Perhaps due to the small rice, small bhaji, lack of naan and small table? Whilst the wife finished savouring her watery masala I thought I’d take a trip to the WC. OMG! What a treat for the eyes! Yes this must be where the murdering takes place I thought to myself. It was like a scene from a Saw movie. Red, concrete, stained and peeling floor, dripping in some form of liquid. The spy hole in the cubicle door expertly filled with tatty bog roll. And the sink tap wobbling if you tried to use it. But hey, at least the hot water worked. Previous reviews mention their credit card machine wasn’t working. I was impressed they’d taken the time to get permanent signs manufactured stating this. Looks like cash only, for the foreseeable. We managed to peel our seats and feet off of the sticky carpet and go to the bar where you ‘have’ to pay the bill. So whilst the decor was dire, the toilet terrible and the food small, the bill certainly wasn’t. It was full whack premier restaurant prices. The lack of an after meal chocolate/mint inspired me to write this truthful if somewhat disturbing review. We went late afternoon 4.30pm in June 2025. Oh dear, they still have time to kill us! I’ve just looked up the food hygiene rating.. IMPROVEMENT REQUIRED!!!. Says it all really.. not just about the food.

First of all, they only accept cash—card payments are not an option, which is quite inconvenient for tourists. Secondly, I’m not sure why it’s labeled an Indian restaurant when the food is clearly Bangladeshi, with none of the authentic Indian flavors. The dishes also lacked seasoning, particularly salt. On the positive side, the interior design is impressive, but cleanliness could definitely be improved

Only Indian in name—unfriendly staff, no card payment option, and no bill provided. I do not recommend this place. The whole place felt like a tourist trap rather than a genuine restaurant.

Had an amazing experience! The food was tasty and nicely presented. The place was super clean, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Loved the Chicken Jalfrezi Balti and venison bhuna — it was full of flavor and perfectly cooked! 😋 I’ll definitely be coming back again soon! 🍽️✨

The attitude of personnel was great. He was very polite and accepted us Even thouh we had not hace a reservation before. We were twelve senior tourists and not many spoke English fluently. He was extremelly patient in spite of the difficulties of comunicación. The food was good, some of the dishes were a bit spicy for our taste. I was surpried that rice was not a side dish but a complete dish in itself. However, it was delicious The deserts we're very good, too. It deserves to be given a chance to improve comunication and customs which we're probably the base of the poor reviews he's had. On the other hand there sre other restaurantes like eighteen teenty which denied our previous reservation and lied to our face

This place is an absolute disgrace, and I have no idea how it’s still operating. We arrived in Portree, starving and desperate for a decent meal, only to stumble into what can only be described as a culinary nightmare. The food arrived quickly, but that was the only positive. The taste? Horrendous and downright inedible. We ordered 1 Butter Prawn (£14.95), 1 Pasanda Chicken Tikka (£10.95), 1 Fried Rice (£4.95), and 2 Parathas (£4.95), totaling £44.75 (including a service charge for what, exactly?). The so-called “food” was an insult to taste buds everywhere. To call it “authentic” is false advertising at its finest—it was barely worthy of being called food, let alone authentic. The dishes were so bad we couldn’t wait to pay and leave. Then came the next shock: no card payments accepted! There was a tiny sign inside, conveniently placed out of sight, saying the card machine wasn’t working. We weren’t informed about this before ordering, which was incredibly misleading. With no cash or cards on hand (they were left on our tour bus), we were left scrambling. Turns out, they were happy to take a bank transfer and even had their account details readily available—clearly, this isn’t a one-off issue. The fact they don’t have a sign on the front door is appalling and reeks of shady business practices. To add insult to injury, they don’t even offer tap water! You’re forced to pay for bottled water, squeezing every last penny out of you. The area barely has any signal, so I couldn’t check reviews beforehand—otherwise, I would’ve stayed far away from this so-called restaurant. Honestly, they should be fined for false advertising and shut down. Disgusting, disappointing, and utterly pathetic. Avoid this place at all costs.

This is a lovely,rustic hotel and restaurant right on the edge of the Isle of Skye with stunning views. The bar man was very helpful and welcoming and found us a table and served us straight away. I had the soup of the day, which was delicious but a little runny for my taste. It was a stormy day outside, so I was rather disappointed that they didn't have the open fireplace burning as I was cold and wet. The food was very nice but quite pricey. Ideal for an occasional treat but not something we could afford to do regularly. Overall, this place is nice but I wouldn't visit again

Best shellfish platter I've had in a long long long time! Amazing value for money and extra fresh. The staff was adorable and the beers were very tasty. The location is also quite special if you are lucky enough to have sunshine when you visit. I'd be there at least once a week if I could!

We stopped in for dinner our first night in Skye and were able to grab a table before the dinner rush started. The pub is small and traditional. The venison burger and langoustines were delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely return.

Excellent and fresh local food. Look at the specials written on the boards that are not included in the menu, and enjoy the wide selection of Scottish beers. You can enjoy the scenery around the place crowned by Ornsay lighthouse.

We happened upon Bar Am Prabam our first of three nights on the sleat peninsula on the Isle of Skye. We were a bit tired from our trip and we didn’t want anything too fancy and Bar Am Prabam fit the bill. We were warmly greeted, the selection of single malt scotch was outstanding (great beers too) and the food was great. The local mussels, langoustines, and the seafood chowder were standouts, as was the chicken and the many appetizers we had! We returned again our last night and enjoyed another fine meal and fun evening. The music s great too. All the wait staff was great, but a special shout out to Savanah, Josh, and Colin is in order.

Gorgeous spot. Few midge and wasps but eat inside to avoid. Beautiful view over to the Kyle of Localsh. Great value too.

Excellent and friendly bar. Great food. Spectacular views. Dog friendly. Beautiful low-level strolls nearby that are ideal for dog walking. Excellent art gallery, clothes/tweed boutique and whisky shop all next door to keep you interested and entertained.

The fish was nice and fresh but the chips must have definitely been a re-fry of yesterdays 😕 they were stale and very dark. I can only assume we were the first customers of the day but not what I expect from a harbour chippy!! Nice view and they've put some gazebos up to shelter from the rain.

I'm not an expert but the fish I received was delicious and the chips were good too. Sit at the picnic tables and enjoy the food!

I was so excited to try from all the amazing reviews here on Google but unfortunately was disappointed. I hope we got an “off” day. We got the fish, scampi, haggis, onion rings. And cheese chips. The cod was dry and tough and tasteless. Everything was very oily. The chips were not good :( I do appreciate that the cheese was NOT nacho cheese. Service was good, the lady was very nice.

Visited on a busy Tuesday afternoon, ordered 4 chip butties, £12 (cash only) - delicious 👌

It's takeaway with picnic benches, so not much atmosphere to comment on. Service was good. Prompt and person taking orders was very kind. Food was mixed. We got fish and chips. Fish was a generous potion and well cooked. Quite tasty. Chips were somewhat mealy and lacking flavor. Needed to be somewhat thinner and to spend a bit more time in the fryer.

Terrible. Ordered a steak pie and a chicken burger. Pie was ordinary. Chicken burger was a stale bun with a dry deep fried piece of chicken on it, and nothing else! Spend your cash elsewhere

We basically stumbled upon this chippy following the amazing scent of freshly fried food from up the street. The spiced fried chicken was amazing, and the fish was not too shabby either - flaky fresh. The chips were a little on the grease-laden side, which we didn’t quite enjoy, but it did smell amazing (it’s fried in beef fat). I really loved the chicken though - would have a bucket of it any day!

An amazing bar to sit in all evening and work your way through their extensive whisky collection. Dragan and his colleagues behind the bar really know their stuff. A fun place to hang out.

I had a very disappointing and unpleasant experience during my recent visit. The guy at counter was extremely rude which made the entire interaction uncomfortable. Instead of being helpful or courteous, their attitude came across as dismissive and disrespectful. Good customer service goes a long way, but unfortunately, that was completely lacking here. I expected a basic level of politeness and respect, but that wasn’t the case. I truly hope the management takes this feedback seriously and ensures better training for their staff, so that future customers don’t have to go through a similar experience.

Gorgeous restaurant, beautiful atmosphere, only drank here but beer was cold and bartender was friendly. Feels authentically Scottish

Let me tell you about the disastrous experience we had at this bar. The Routard guide recommends it for its good atmosphere, so we decided to have an aperitif. The service was appalling. The waiter casually poured beers, pretending to be unsure how to do it, all while touching his private parts. The beers were sticky, poorly filled, and served with a nasty look. We ordered a second glass to see if we were imagining things or just being paranoid, but no, we were definitely dealing with a salesman. Avoid at all costs. Oh, and it stank of cheap wine.

Rude server, bartender treated as if we are asking something for free.. disastrous experience. The bartender bald man needs to go to a retreat, learn manners and then come back serve again.

Nice place. We eat here as the restaurant was full (aka we think a group of 6 is too loud..) staff was very friendly. Food was very good and the isle of Harris gin even better!

Convenient location near the centre and the car park, but everything is close by in Portree. Good music, nice selection of craft beers and single malt served with crisps or other snacks. Very friendly staff. Clean toilets. Decent wi-fi. Don't forget to ask for the malt of the month - the one on the day of our visit was worth trying.

The Isle of Skye is spoilt for choice when it comes to cafes, bakeries and lunch options, but Bog Myrtle is definitely one of the best. It definitely feels special as soon as you enter and it just gets better from there on in. Service is super friendly and kind. Staff genuinely seem to care about what their customers think and experience. And the food is outstanding. Imaginative and beautifully presented, it also delivers on taste. We had a delicious courgette, pea, mint and lime soup, plus the Scotch Reuben, and the salted caramel doughnut was pure joy!! I'm still dreaming about it now. The interior is interesting and beautifully designed with lots of fascinating areas to relax in. Don't hesitate to visit this lovely cafe with superb staff and a beautiful view. We absolutely loved it.

The seaweed smashed potatoes and Turkish eggs were truly some of the best things we've eaten in Scotland! I also got their latte with Heather honey and it was divine. I cannot recommend this place enough, the cutesy decor, the stunning view the incredible food, and the delectable pastries. Just WOW!!

Incredible place - decor and ambience was so sweet, food delicious, and service lovely. Had a more quiet feeling even through the busy lunch hour. Had the savory porridge — never had something like that before and it was delicious! If there is pavlova when you come you MUST eat it. Especially if you like creamy / light desserts. Actually changed my life. Come here!

What a dreamy place… the atmosphere is so welcoming and the food looks amazing. I regret arriving here with a full stomach, just for a quick stop. As a local I would spend so much time here, reading, eating, drinking lattes and kombuchas in conversation with friends.

We came here for breakfast within an hour of our engagement at Neist Point Lighthouse. The sheer warmth of the staff was enough to make it worth the stop however our lunch and divine treats made it unforgettable. Please make it a point to stop here on your travels throughout Skye. Truly a gem.

Stunning, quirky little spot for great breakfast, coffee, and sweet treats! Doesn’t look like much from the outside but once inside it’s like being in a cosy living room. Staff are lovely and provided a friendly and efficient service!

This place is a gem, so cosy you feel at home, beautiful decor 🙂 The best waffles with bacon and poached egg I've had in my life and I'm not even exaggerating! Totally delicious🤤 Can't wait to come back.

A friendly atmosphere with very good food to eat in or take away. First rate baked goods, and the coffee is excellent. Cozy seating upstairs, after you place your order they bring it up to you. Great for breakfast or lunch.

Exceptionally friendly staff and a great range of gluten-free options. The fish and chips were outstanding—crispy, flavorful, and generously portioned. A must-visit spot if you're in town!

We stopped here while on a tour of the Isle of Skye. While we were in Portree, a cruise ship was also ported there, so the city was very busy. You couldn't get into most places or at least not in a timely manner when on a tour. Relish was one of the few places we could get in. It's an interesting restaurant in that you order downstairs, then they have cameras upstairs to tell them if seats are available, and if so, which table you can claim. From a service perspective, they were so busy there wasn't a ton of time for banter. That's not to say they weren't friendly, but they were just taking orders, seating people, and cleaning up. For lunch, I ordered the venison burger minus the black pudding. It was good, but the texture was a little odd, a little soft. I don't eat venison often, so maybe that's normal. Flavor was decent, but not the best burger I've had. My wife had chicken noodle soup, which she described as just ok, and a bland piece of bread.

Great coffee, had a sausage roll and a Bakewell slice both were lovely. Staff happy and friendly. If you are visiting Portree I highly recommend this place.

Great place for a proper hearty breakfast. All of the meat tasted like it was high quality.

Had a sit in breakfast today and unfortunately very unimpressed. Service was not the best especially when ordering at the till, drinks order was wrong and when the full breakfast arrived it was very small plus the sausage and bacon looked barely cooked. For £12 for a full breakfast it was very disappointing and felt like a rip off. My boyfriend did not finish his breakfast so we will not be back. There must be way better places to have a breakfast in the centre of Portree that are better value for money.

Stumbled upon this place and found a goldmine, the service was super quick and staff are friendly. The food was excellent and the place has a cozy vibe. Will definitely return whenever I’m in skye.

A nice cafe to grab a hot meal and drink on a winter’s day with a blue theme and very atmospheric vibe to it. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially since I forgot my book in the cafe and one of them ran out to hand it back to me. The food was pretty good too. The soup of the day; “Roasted Red Pepper Tomato” was very warm and tasty! The calamari was scrumptious too; not too hard or soft, just the right amount of crisp to it. The beef burger I had wasn’t half bad at all too; the fries were alright but could be better and the patty wasn’t bad at all. Cool cafe!

We stopped in here at lunchtime straight from the ferry from Tarbert and to our amazement still scored a table without a reservation. We were to,d 10 minutes wait, and top marks to the staff who cleared tables at lightning speed, handed out menus while we waited, and then the food came out super fast. We had the langoustines and crab salad and both were superb. They also serve a good range of local beers. There’s plenty of parking on site, but book ahead as this place is deservedly super popular, and a few people had to be turned away.

We were visiting skye when we saw this Cafe and stopped for a late lunch, I had mussels as a starter followed by pan fried scallops , black pudding with a delicious side salad also chips Soup of the day followed by a great fish and chips. The mussels were very fresh and large the stock was fabulous, scallops were to die for seared perfectly with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Soup was very tasty and fish cooked perfectly with a very crispy batter. Highly recommend.

We heard you really must have reservations for dinner, but we were thrilled to walk in for lunch and be seated right away. The seafood platter for two was fantastic and definitely one of the better seafood dishes we’ve had in a restaurant! Good selection of drinks and also yummy desserts available as well. Would definitely go back!

Very delicious and fresh seafood. Very good service as well! Do call and make a reservation in advance as they were fully booked even on a weekday night

Had a great meal here. Wonderfully fresh seafood and a friendly atmosphere! Highly recommend if you are in the area, definitely make a reservation as this place seems like it gets busy

Got a take out from here which was delicious. I had haddock, chips and curry sauce, and carrot cake my wife had cheeseburger with chips and caramel cake. Really nice as we ate it just half a kilometre north at the lay-by overlooking Uig with a great view of the sunset.

A real gem of a place - love coming here. Consistently fantastic food (a nice mixture of comforting staples and specials with interesting twists), great coffee and cakes, warm service and incredible views. Good for vegetarian and gluten-free options (and possibly others) and they do take-away. Often a bit quieter than some of the more tourist-visited places between Kyle and Portree, so worth travelling that bit further. It's popular with locals and you'll often hear Gaelic conversation (tha e sgoinneil!). Not the cheapest but you'll certainly have no trouble paying more for lower quality food, elsewhere on the island - so would say it good value (especially given quality of everything and decent portions sizes). Not always open in the evening, so do check the opening hours. The cafe (and the attached hall and shop, which is also great) is owned by the community, so all the money goes back to the community.

The food was superb, hot fresh and quick service. The chips were delicious, definitely recommended. Very friendly staff, lovely location, great variety on the food and drinks menu, good value for money. Thankyou ☺️

The building is set in Sleat on the Isle of Skye with great cafe and shop which is built for the local community and caravan site to stay overnight. The building has wood chip boiler and large room for functions. The views around the site is breathtaking and great play area for the kids.

Great place to stop for something to eat. Can be busy but the wait is worth it. Amazing seafood chowder, strongly recommend. And spectacular views to enjoy while you eat. There are also now hookups for camper vans.

Lovely restaurant and cafe not far up the road from Armadale ferry. Friendly and fast service. We had the fish and chips with a local beer. The serving size was big so very good for those hungry people. The views are also amazing! Also there's a Deli and post office in the same location which is handy to grab some bits for the car journey.

It’s a Restaurant, a deli , a post office , and a playground ! Great stop on the road to Armadale for some lunch - simple selection is sandwiches and soup , but also a milkshake menus and some great looking cakes ! We had the tuna Mayo toastie, but toasties, and the soup - yum ! Superb views at the same time ! Reasonable prices and helpful staff. The shop is great with a mix of the weird and the everyday … useful if you stay nearby and run out of the essentials .

What a gem! Modern but cosy and inviting with friendly staff and a delicious, reasonably priced selection of dishes on the menu. We also enjoyed the homemade cakes afterwards! Also very pleased that there were vegan options for both main course and dessert.

Looks unassuming, but I assure you that the food really packs a solid punch. I’m not someone who usually eats beef, but their signature beef noodle soup is so, so flavourful! Was already full but I can’t stop drinking the soup. Portion size is big too! For our Asian friends who miss chicken rice, do order their Chinese-style cucumber salad. It will scratch your chicken rice itch! The special combo has a good mix of flavours. Well-balanced. Just like what someone said, we really had one of the best meals here for this trip!! Ps. Their chilli is really really spicy too :’) hits the spot

It's hard to believe that such authentic Chinese cuisine could be called "inauthentic" by some. The braised pork and marinated beef absolutely blew my mind—the moment I finished the entire bowl of rice with toppings, I felt a sense of complete fulfillment in life. The chili oil seasoning was also incredibly authentic and flavorful. This is the kind of culinary excellence that would be considered masterful even in China.

Arrived in Portree where every fish and chips restaurant was fully booked. Instead of some just fried dishes we found this nice, cozy little surprise at the end. Enjoyed a hot spicy noodle soup at a rainy cold day. Friendly and hearthly owner. Thanks for the service, soup and of course the green tea (:

Udon noodles with beef, shrimp, tomato scrambled eggs, half a braised egg, and two McNuggets. It feels novel and the taste is acceptable. The beef noodles are average. The best food is the cold cucumber salad, which is fragrant with sesame oil and sweet.

Went here for lunch and got the beef noodle soup. By far the most flavorful food we’ve had since we arrived in Scotland. There was chili oil available and it was a great addition to the soup! Staff was very friendly!

Not sure if this is typical dining for Scottish Chinese food, as we are from America. But wow just utterly the worst Chinese food ive ever had. First sign should have been we were the only ones in there. I actually laughed when we received what looked like McDonalds chicken nuggets. The beef and potatoes were like stew meat and seemed out of place. No sauce on the noodles. Not sure if tomatoes and egg are supposed to go together but it grossed me out. Wouldnt recommend to ANYONE.

Honestly, this was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in Scotland. The prices are shockingly high, £20 for just a tiny plate of cucumber salad. The service was even worse! The waiter’s attitude was so rude that we completely lost our appetite. We ended up leaving without eating anything because we were just too upset. Definitely not recommended.

Another lovely meal at the bistro. Greats service from Donald and the new waitress in training doing very well! Advised to contact to book via email or Facebook to ensure you can get a table. We booked the day before and left extremely happy! Highly recommend the fish & chips, 5 cheese macaroni, brownie & ice cream! Local Skye Gold to wash it all down. Hope to be back next time!

Stopped by for a quick bite through the wilderness and nothingness. It’s warm and cosy, with cute music playing, and a welcoming host. The food was good too, only tried the vegetarian soup. Good vibes all around, and a must stop on your visit to Elgol. It is an unexpectedly welcome rest stop, where the earth ends and the sea begins (or maybe the sea ends too and the earth flattens out? Your guess is as good as mine). If you’re lucky, you’ll find some sheep grazing in the surrounding area of the cafe!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. The menu is short, creative, and locally focused. All of our dishes were delicious and well-executed. Service was terrific, and the atmosphere was relaxed: a mix of locals and travelers. Highly recommend the whisky/chocolate flight for dessert!

The best Cullen Skink in the Isle of Skye. The owner was really kind and warm. He taught us about local music from Skye which become our road trip soundtrack. We are sure that he will win the next cullen skink championship! The road to reach Elgol was really beautiful during the golden hour - sunset. Reservation is really recommended (via Instagram).

This is a bistro to visit when visiting the Isle of Skye. We stayed in Elgol, so a lovely walk to the bistro. Food and atmosphere is excellent. The ice cream is so yummy !

We travelled from Fort William and booked a table by emailing the restaurant. Donald was very responsive and promptly confirmed our reservation by email. I recommend booking in advance, as the restaurant was full when we arrived. The food was excellent, and the service was warm and friendly. Thank you, Elgol Bistro!

This was a beautiful and friendly place to eat. My husband and I count it as the best food we had during our trip to Scotland. Our B&B host recommended it and encouraged us to message them on Facebook for a reservation which they seemed to appreciate. The food was amazing, but the ice cream really blew us away. Highly recommend getting some (we got the white chocolate and whisky flavor) as we will forever be missing it now.

Small seafood Reasturant with good views out over Broadside Bay. Quite cramped inside with basic decor so not particularly cozy or relaxing for a long meal. Food was quickly delivered and was very nice if a little overpriced. The menu does have a good selection with a good selection of specials too (which we had - king scallops and crayfish tails). Overall, not bad but for the price would expect excellent food or much better decor.

Amazing place! Such a small restaurant with great service, friendly owner and delicious food! The best seafoods what we've had! Highly recommend :)

Kind of rare to find decent food on Skye, so this is a nice surprise. Simply prepared food, friendly service, casual. Mussels are the best!

Scotland can be cold and windy but over here you’ll find warm dishes and even warmer hearts! P.S: The mussels in white wine is outstanding!

The young lassie, hostess/server made great recommendations and took good care of my Daughter and me. It was a great dinner and experience for our first time on Skye!

If you looking for fresh and well prepare seafood ,this is your good choice in this small town. Good service and clean with traditional music inside.

Nice place, but too expensive for that what you get. I wouldn'd eat there the second time.

Food was yummy. Carrot cake is amazing. The best I've ever had! The staff are very friendly. Would go definitely back. You can eat your food while looking out at a great view.

Nice little setup. Car park a bit limited but free if you get a space. Coffee and cake was good and served quickly. Lady serving was pretty grumpy, a smile doesn’t hurt. A few tables available with lovely views.

Absolutely stunning spot right next to the Loch and a cute ferry harbour. We were treated to abaolutely fabulous seafood rolls and smashing cakes! The coffee was so good, that I had to bring a bag home with me. Delighted to hear it is locally roasted!

My favourite place for an iced coffee and toastie on Skye! Such lovely ladies working here too. Also the carrot cake is truly the greatest carrot cake of all time, amazing. It's a super relaxing spot to hangout too, with great views and plenty of spots to sit.

We stopped here for a quick bite and coffee on our way into the isle. So glad we did. It is right off the road and they have a small parking lot. The women working there were so friendly. Plus, they make a great sandwich. They also have some seating available outside.

A lovely little spot to stop for a delicious sandwich and coffee! It is a takeaway, but with some outside seats looking out over beautiful views. The sandwich I had was very delicious. It's right next to the ferry, and the road into Skye, so great for a quick lunch with a fantastic view.

I had the most amazing scone with berries and clotted cream. The coffee was also tasty and the location is absolutely beautiful. The ladies working at the shop were friendly and efficient.

Pros: Great location, clean, and friendly staff. Cons: Feels more like a basic hostel; rooms are run-down; beds in the double rooms are only 185 cm from headboard to footboard—seriously, who came up with that idea? Sleeping comfortably is a challenge. Conclusion: There are likely better options available in the area. /Family with teenagers

Very easygoing and friendly staff. Great location, well-equipped kitchen. Amazing lounge with beautiful views of the harbour (pictured here). Rooms were clean and comfortable, and showers were also clean and new. Strongly recommend.

Stayed here last summer and had a great stay! Staff on reception were super friendly, let me leave my big bag after/before check in/out so I could still go off and explore without lugging it around, gave me suggestions of nearby hikes, what buses to get and gave me some maps. Really really great service. Hostel inside was clean, charging port and light by each bed, toilet/shower in the dorm (6 bed female dorm). Will definitely be back when I come back to Skye.

The photo doesn't do this place any harm. It's just a photo of low cloud rolling across the mountains. The hostel is staffed by pleasant staff who have a responsible position in making the customer feel very welcome. The hostel is a bit smaller than some I've visited in the past, but that being said, it's facilities are top notch. Each bunk room has its own bathroom, with a sink, toilet and shower. Would I recommend it, most definitely. Thank you for the experience.

I had a terrible experience at this hotel. There was no heating in the room, and it was freezing cold. To make things worse, no one was available at reception to help or address the issue. The window was in awful condition, letting in cold air all night and making the room even more uncomfortable. Overall, it was a very unpleasant stay — I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone until they fix these problems.

In the room the wi-fi did not work once during the whole stay, it barely worked once in the lounge (but the yankees where very loudly explaining their new "eat, travel, love" philosophy to everyone as if they've just discovered travelling). The room was spacious, but as always no luggage rack or comfortable place to put/open any luggage.

The room for 4 was tiny, so much so that two people walk past each other. Hardly any room for luggage. The bed had not been change before or after my stay! Disgusting!!! The steps to reception are dangerous because of missing slabs, in particular when carrying a suitcase. Male staff were indifferent and not very helpful. Absolute rip off! Too expensive for what you get. The mattress was hard and noisy. There is no charger by each bed. One of my worst hostel experiences. The only good thing about this place was the view from the lounge.

For the money and location, the room was decent. However, the walls are paper thin and you hear everything through the walls from a block away from your room to the stairwell. Don’t stay here if you intend on getting any sleep. Other than that, the staff was impeccable. The food was good.

Location great! Hotel itself is definitely nothing special. Hallways very narrow, dark and dirty. Walls very thin. We faced the street directly over the bar so was very noisy. In the USA this would be equivalent to a 2 star, 3 star max. Breakfast in adjoining restaurant was very clean and very good. Great service at restaurant. Parking terrible- Has 7 spots total first come first serve. Otherwise have to park a few blocks away and hall your luggage through town and pay to park. Definitely not work the $500/night! Very overpriced for midweek.

We had an excellent three days at the Bosville while exploring Skye. The Family of 4 room was plenty of space and extremely quiet. There is one large bed and two chairs that fold out into singles. I wouldn’t recommend the fold-puts for adults. It seems to be in the back of the hotel away from the street and bar/restaurant noise. The staff was very kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Breakfast is excellent, as is the dinner if you choose to reserve a table there in the evening. As others have mentioned, parking is a limited and not reserved. However, we always managed to snag a space when returning in the evening. This place is in the heart of Portree and you can walk anywhere in town easily. Would definitely return.

My favourite hotel on Skye (but I have never stayed anywhere else because I keep coming back)! Nice rooms: good size, well appointed, larger than normal shower, excellent breakfast. Most importantly, the staff is kind and attentive.

If you stay here, ask for a room away from the street front view and also not over the bar. The delivery trucks start early 6:30am and the bar music plays loudly until 11pm. Windows are open to cool the rooms so you get all of the noise. Low tech room with few charging options. Not worth the high price per night in my opinion.

A very basic nothing special hotel and room. Clean for sure, but other than that not worth the price. Well-located but the town is so small any other hotel in the area will also be well-located. Dark room as well. I guess they are labeled as 4 star? Definitely not. What a rip off at 330 GBP/night.

A gem in Portree! The Bosville Hotel offers exceptional service, cozy rooms, and delicious food. It's the perfect base for exploring Skye, with a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. A truly memorable and delightful stay.

We loved our time at Marmalade hotel in Portree. Beautiful view from our window, very comfortable room and spotlessly clean. The breakfast and team were lovely, even though they had to attend to some very demanding guests (not us!) they remained unfazed. Great job guys! The easy walk down to the little village and square for some souvenir shops. Loved it!

The Marmalade was a great place to stay in the highlands. It is situated on a quiet hill that is only a short walk into town. Storr, the Quiraing, and other outdoor activities all within 45 mins of the Marmalade. Yes, the rooms can be on the expensive side but they are pretty spacious and there is a full bar, a full restaurant, and a sauna all on hotel grounds.

The Marmalade Hotel is in a prime location near downtown Portree, which seems to be the main justification for the very steep price—nearly $700 per night during our stay. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, they didn’t quite live up to the luxury price tag. Ours was located at the end of the hall, and although we had a window, the view was mostly blocked by a large tree. On the positive side, the breakfast was lovely—fresh, well-prepared, and served in a pleasant setting. Overall, we enjoyed our time in Portree, but given the cost, we expected a bit more in terms of amenities, service, or room quality.

Overall a Pleasant Stay, But a Few Amenities Missed the Mark I recently stayed here and overall had a great experience — the rooms were clean and comfortable and the atmosphere was relaxing. However, a couple of things did fall short. The sauna was unfortunately out of service during my visit, which was disappointing as it was one of the main reasons I booked this property. Additionally, the coffee machine in the relaxation room was broken, which took away from the post-spa experience. The *night receptionist*was also bit hesitant to let us go to the relaxation room citing rules that only sauna goers can use the relaxation room. Upon being insisted that sauna was anyways not working she finally let us go to the relaxation room. *****The soap caddy in the shower was broken ******. They could have fixed it if they are charging a premium rate of 500 GBP per night. That said, the rest of the facilities were well-maintained and I appreciated the quiet, restful vibe of the hotel. If those small issues were addressed, it would easily be a five-star stay.

Mixed Review - needs some serious leadership / management. To start with the positives, the room was lovely and bed super comfy. The sheets were gorgeous, and well equipped and clean. Decor throughout was nice. However, there are many shortfalls. Only small things, but they really made a negative impact. First impression of outside space and parking was very poor. Looked run down and not great signage. Reception greeting / check in was strange, disengaged staff and not particularly helpful. The reception area was messy and it stayed like that for the full 3 day stay. There was a delivery of boxes that was there when we arrived and they weren't moved. The bar / lounge was unwelcoming and not clear how to relax or get a drink. The restaurant was OK, breakfast 1 morning was nice the 2nd morning, below par. Dinner OK - but the staff were obviously disengaged and poorly trained. 2 young girl waitresses spent about an hour flirting with the bar man, when they could have been clearing up, prepping for the next day etc. They also seemed short staffed in all areas. Restaurant had no ambience. Overall, poor attention to detail - very dead flowers with stagnant water in restaurant, floors / rugs needed a good clean, empty diffusers, nowhere to dry your hands in the reception WCs....It seemed overall that it was really lacking a strong leader / manager to make sure everything is up to scratch and to keep all the staff accountable and high standards throughout. We paid £800 for 2 nights, definitely not worth that. The fact that there are no replies to any recent Google Reviews reflects their lack of interest in maintaining standards. Not sure there is a long term future if they don't start making an effort unfortunately.

This is NOT a 4 Star Hotel. No Bell service was offered or available. Marks on walls and furniture. No turndown service. Reception was on the phone and did not acknowledge us until terminating the call 5 minutes later when checking in. Like the Restaurant, overpriced as well. Host said "Follow me Guys" when leading My elderly Mother, My Wife, and me to our formica top table, with paper napkins. After being asked the type of water preference, the bottle was just place on the table. Lounge floor was filthy, and I can go on and on. After coming from the Isle of Eriska and The Balmoral in Edinburgh, this was like a Youth Hostel.

I stayed at the Marmalade Hotel while visiting the Isle of Skye and loved the hotel. The room was spacious, well maintained, and clean. The hotel has daily housekeeping, a very friendly front desk, and the included breakfast is quite good. The hotel also has free onsite parking and we never had an issue parking the car at the hotel. The hotel is about a 5 min walk from the main Portree area, which was fine for us. The hotel rooms do not have a fridge and there is no onsite gym or laundry. If you are visiting Isle of Skye and want to stay in Portree, I would highly recommend Marmalade Hotel.

Not great. We got beef curry and egg fried rice. Rice was good, but the curry was bland, had a whole onion in it, and the beef was very low quality and tasted of water (not sure how that's even possible, but it did) and was ready in a matter of minutes which means it probably wasn't cooked fresh. We were wondering how good this would be give the polar opposite reviews. But not recommended.

My experience here was disappointing. The food tasted like it had been pre-cooked and reheated, lacking freshness. Additionally, the service was not welcoming, and I felt that the staff could have been more polite. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it based on my visit.

Its takeaway there isnt much atmosphere but it was a refreshing one for our asian parents who wanted asian food after awhile. Food was great. We got the sweet and sour pork, fried rice with roast duck and they were both great at 7/10 for taste. Food is probably reheated but thats usually the case for these kinds of food/establishment.

After camping in Portree for 4 nights and living off packet cereal bars and pot noodles, we needed to find some decent hot food to combat the wind and rain. We found limited vegan/veggie options in most places so decided to get a takeaway to eat in our tent. I am so glad we did, it was exactly what we needed. The tofu in black bean sauce was great, so was the vegetable curry. Would really recommend to anyone looking for a quick and easy vegetarian/vegan meal!

Had the special and chicken curry, not great. The chicken was rubbery and the curry sauce was like slime/goo with curry powder in it. I do not think it was made by them. The rice was good.

Don't know what has happened to this place, but the prices have gone up and the food quality has gone down severely. It now tastes like pre cooked stuff you buy in a shop. I drive to Kyle and back now as its cheaper and much tastier.

Would recommend! Big portions, nice food. Very quick! Also a lot of vegetarian options on the menu.

A busy place and not surprising as the food is very good. The fact that it was queued out the door on a Tuesday evening was a good sign and we were happy to wait the ten minutes or so. Order was taken and we had our food in about ten minutes. Great chips and fantastic crispy batter on our fish and smoked sausage. Highly recommend.

Siaway offers a wide range of takeaway dishes, with plenty of classic and modern options to choose from. It's primarily a takeaway spot – there are a few seats inside, but no proper tables, so it's not really intended for dining in. Service was fine and the food came out fairly quickly. This was actually my very first time trying fish & chips, and overall I really enjoyed it! The portion was generous, the fish was crispy, and the chips were okay. Next time, though, I’d skip the vinegar – a personal preference, but it slightly overpowered the flavour for me. All in all, a nice and easy place to grab a traditional meal. I’d happily return.

The best fish and chips I’ve tasted in a long while. I went early afternoon so it wasn’t busy so my fish and chips got made fresh. The fish was cooked to perfection and the chips super crispy. The staff are friendly. Take your fish and chips across the road to the benches overlooking the water.

£10 for battered haddock wouldn't have minded if it was a large crispy bit of fish......avoid and go to their pizza place as it was OK. Totally disappointed - sunglasses for perspective of this soggy poor offering. Chips at £1.90 were passable

Great food had a haddock and chips. Quite a long wait but very popular so understandable. would definitely recommend especially with easy access from car park opposite and benches nearby to sit down and eat whilst you enjoy the view.

Great food. The food is made fresh from order but quick service. The staff are nice and atmosphere and views outside the shop are amazing. We will be back.

We had fish, chips and sausage. The fish and sausage were very good, but the chips were amazing. They had a slight crispness to them, which I've never had before. These were easily the best chips I've EVER had from any chippy in the UK.

Amazing burgers which gave me and my friends the power to cross the beautiful Trotternish Ridge. Thank you and a lot of greetings from Belgium!

Lovely burger well cooked with loads of cheese and onions, on a nice toasted brioche bun. Just the ticket after a long hike/ran through the clag and midges!

Great place with a friendly owner! Got our hot drinks and hot dog after the hike. A real life saver on the cold skye weather. By the way check the souvenir sheep, they are lovely.

Top quality black pudding with lorne sausage roll. Nice brioche bun top. Served by a very friendly (and busy!) chap It is only food option immediately outside Quiraing, but don't let that fool you. Quality of the food speaks for itself.

We had Lorne sausage, egg and cheese on brioche rolls. Absolutely sensational! Will come again on our way back.

Friendly guy, happy to have a wee chat. We had a great lorne sausage and egg roll, all cooked fresh in front of us. Small snacks and hot/cold drinks also available.

Great spot to grab a snack and a hot drink. Be prepared to wait as this is a very busy location. Well worth it if you do. Accepts card payments too which is handy as its a tad windy up there. Chap that served me was courteous and friendly.
