Antlers Bar and Grill in Highland

Spent 4 days in total in Portree and for two of them ate in the Antlers Bar and Grill. We would have eaten there all 4 days but we only found it on the third one. Had the fish and the steak and both were absolutely delicious. I have to mention the twice cooked fries as well which were also amazing. Out of all the restaurants we visited in Portree, this one was the best one definitely.

Very poor management of the tables, the guy who served us was very unpleasant, they did not have reservations for 1 hour, with empty tables and he told us that he had no place. He also didn't give us the option to wait for a table to become free. Better management and more friendliness is needed.

Made us feel welcome and that means a lot. The food was really well prepared and very reasonably priced. Well done staff 👏👏👏

Came in to drink a beer, left after a dinner in appetizer mode to share. A nice surprise. I recommend.

Comfy cozy. Let us sit 10 minutes before they opened. Friendly staff. Got the specials amd bread w/browned butter. Lots of bread but not a fan of the butter. Pork cheeks were super yummy and muscles were ok (plentiful for the price). The only thing we felt was very overpriced was the tiny dessert. Way small for the cost and was average in taste.

Despite a very light menu and the absence of fish even though we are in a coastal town (apart from fish and chips), the meals were very good.

My family and I had such a wonderful time here for dinner! We really felt like locals since this had the overall vibe of a local joint. The food was great and reasonably priced. I do recommend making a reservation (we were lucky to get a seat after only waiting 10 minutes) since it's very popular! 10/10!

Just wow! We ate here twice over the span of two days while visiting Portree. The blade of beef with glazed carrot and shallot in peppercorn sauce was incredible. I would have literally licked the plate clean if I wouldn’t have gotten weird looks. The brownie for dessert was also out of this world. Highly recommend!

Wonderful food and staff. Great Experience.

Stopped here for late night drinks. We did not try an food here. The vibe and energy is excellent and the service amazing.

We stopped for lunch on our tour of Skye Island. The city was full, so we were lucky to get a small table. We ordered soup, salad and burger. It was very tasty! Great value for money!

I loved everything the slow cooked beef was incredibly delicious and the staff very nice.

Lovely pub. Very good friendly service. 6 of us and 2 dogs were first seated near the bar. Football was on and we asked to be moved. Very quickly moved us to another table. Very happy with the service. Staff were very friendly and made a fuss of our 2 spaniels. Food was excellent. Would highly recommend .

Hands down, the best meal we've had since arriving in Scotland (and we ate at a Gordon Ramsay establishment last week 🤫). Not only did the food taste incredible but the service was super fast and the food arrived HOT. A few at our table work in the service industry and it was very apparent to us that the team at Antlers works as just that - a team. Multiple people served our table - drinks, mains and desserts and there was never any confusion or misdirection. The food is well seasoned, thoughtful and interesting. Atmosphere is beautiful and upscale - although not high end dining, it's still very comfortable but you'll have a high end food experience. Be sure to reserve a table! There's never any walk in space, and for good reason!

No chance to get a cookie or cake after 16:30 although the sign says „coffee and cake until 5 pm“

Overly priced for small meals and staff kept giving us the wrong check overly charging us each time not remembering what we ordered when we only did two things with water. Plus staff seemed preoccupied with each other by massaging shoulders than helping us. Hope your experience is better!

They threw the food on our table. The reviews told us this was great, but the food was not good and cold. Average food and service was mid. They asked us for 10% tip and were very deceptive about the charge that we didnt want to pay. Dont go here.

Best pub food with reasonable price. I really enjoyed this pub that I walked in randomly. Souo is amazing and very friendly and helpful staff.

Service and payment at the bar, welcoming but slow staff, forgetting certain elements of the order, 10 min wait for a scone, menu for the bar next door but not for the tea room, a waitress put away dishes for almost 15min making a huge noise in the cafe, quality of products nevertheless satisfactory Check next door to see if they have any room left before coming here.

! Only for the bar - we didn't eat there! Very mixed welcome, not pleasant and hesitant to serve us tea, even though it is only 4:15 p.m. We had to wait a good 5 minutes before knowing if we could consume. In addition, we are told that we can only stay there for a maximum of 30 minutes. Bad bar experience, I repeat, because we did not want to eat at this bar/restaurant following this incident.

One of the best meals we've had while visiting the United Kingdom. The atmosphere is cozy and nice - not upscale, but a bit nicer than a typical pub. It was busy, but we didn't have to wait. The service was prompt and friendly. Everything came out just as ordered, and piping hot. We had lamb croquettes to start - very flavorful and crisp. She got a venison burger with goats cheese that was spectacular. I got a sirloin that was cooked to perfection, very juicy and peppery. It came with a buttery sauce that was so delicious I dipped my wife's chips in it when the steak was gone. The steak was served with three gigantic onion rings that were so thick and meaty, I used a fork and knife to eat them. What a great end to a day on Skye. If you get the chance, visit Antlers. You can tell them I sent you, and they'll probably look at you funny because I've never been here before and, frankly, I'm not all that memorable.

We stopped by this place in Inverness and it was amazing. Make sure to stop in for great food, tasty drinks and a good time.

Aquí tienes la traducción al inglés: "They were very kind. First, we had a great meal at the restaurant. In the rush of the trip, we forgot an expensive coat at the restaurant. Between the restaurant and the hotel, they helped us and sent the package with the coat to Spain! Incredibly grateful! Thank you!!!"

Very tasty, but somewhat expensive, although it is average for the area

Descent food. Pretty quick service for how busy it can get. If there is a cruise ship in port there will be a wait. The fish and chips are good. The soup and salad is descent.

Bookings (+24 hr prior) are required as this restaurant gets booked out very early. It’s a charming place, with a good range of tasty dishes, dessert, chef’s specials and drinks. We enjoyed the Malay curried mussels, slow cooked beef and for dessert, the sticky toffee pudding with poached pears and ice cream. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient, especially Katie.

We were at Isle of Skye searching for a good pub. But all the pubs were booked. It was mentioned that it was fully occupied . They have accommodated us and the staff over there was very welcoming. We had a lovely time

I've had fish and chips more than 5 times in Scotland, and this is my favorite fish and chips restaurant. It's really, really, really delicious. The fried food is of a different order. It's not tasteless whole fried food like school lunch fried fish. Crispy and delicious.

Cosy, busy pub that doesn’t take reservations. We were early so got in pretty quick. Dinner was tasty and beer was excellent. Staff were great.

Really nice service; food was good. I would recommend you make a reservation if you're going in the high season but it's an extremely solid choice.

A nice place to have foods in Isle of Skyle. Recommend to book in advance for table, because this place is quite busy! Dog-friendly!

Delicious food and great service! Probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten.

Food was okay, but also very expensive. This meant that the price-performance ratio wasn't right for us. The fries were tasty and plentiful and reasonably priced. The lamb croquettes were okay but way too expensive for the small portion. Fish & Chips was plentiful but not outstanding. Too weak for the price. And be careful: there is an extra lunch menu. For example, the burger we were looking forward to was not available in the evening.

Delicious meal and quick, courteous service. Reserve ahead.

Book table in advance as they get very busy during summer. The best fish and chips we had was here.

I got the Moules and I enjoyed. Even the starter

Came for lunch waited a few mins before being seen and told her we had a reservation which she went to check. Told us to come down the steps there we stood for a minute with her looking at us then saying your table is there. I think she thought she told us but hadn’t. Fish batter on my dish was slightly undercooked therefor was a bit greasy and chips l tasted like oven chips. The other dishes however were lovely. I think with it being lunchtime they are rushing to get as many customer in and out. Next time I will book for dinner

The food was excellent, the staff were friendly, and the view of Portree city centre from the window was peaceful. If you want to have dinner in Portree city centre in the summer, book in advance.

Highly recommend this charming little restaurant in the heart of Portree. Service was polite and fast. The food was terrific - probably one of the best meals we’ve had in Scotland. Highlights include the sausage rolls, mussels and honey carrots (seriously I could have eaten 2 portions of the carrots by myself, they were like candy). Reservations are a must during the busy season on Isle of Skye.

Excellent food, satisfactory service.

Good food, managed to get a table without waiting, around 5.45pm. Good selection on the menu and a decent kids menu. Food was very tasty.

The food was good but the portions were ridiculously small for the price

The way you dream of, but don't dare believe, a provincial Scottish hotel restaurant should be! Also good food for vegetarians. The half chicken was juicier than steak.

Some of the best food in the UK, we had the Cod and beef blade. 10/10 for flavour

Warm atmosphere and gourmet cuisine! The fish and chips were delicious as was the macaroni and cheese. Thank you for this great service!

Friendly staff. Great sauces here: cod and salmon in a herby velouté sauce, lovely mussels with bacon and cream, blade steak in a dark rich stew. Nice fish and chips as well.

Nice pub and great food. Fast and friendly

Needed to book for dinner as it was so busy. Food was amazing. Service was excellent. Paid about £140 for 2 starters, 2 steaks, 2 puddings, 2 drinks. Definitely a highlight of our stay in Skye.

It is not possible to reserve when you are not sleeping at the hotel but by coming early (6:30 p.m.) we got a place. We ate very well. My husband had the mussels and found that the bacon added a little too much salt. My chicken was very good, the sauce excellent. The side dish (I had puree) is not very big, but there must have been almost half a chicken. The children's dish was also delicious. So I recommend this place!

Good hotel restaurant. Nice service. Food was good.

At 9pm we walked in for dinner, but they sent us away telling us that the Indian place down the road was “really good”. We ended up having a terrible experience and a waste of 2 hours. Please do not recommend bad places to people just to get them out of the way.

Great Highland welcome. Lovely food coffees and scones. Great selection of whisky and beers etc

Excellent food. We had the scallop plate and the cod plate. One of our best meals in Scotland :-)

Great service and delicious haddock!

Good food and great experience! It’s a small town. Make sure you have reservations for dinner!

Went to the restaurant early in the afternoon. Asked for a table for two, there were several empty tables without reservation, and they refused to give us a table with an arrogant attitude that I can never forget.

Food was very tasty, although very expensive. Unfortunately the bill only came after the second request. This was put down and nothing more happened after that. We had to go to the waiter to pay. Very poor service for such an expensive restaurant.

Delicious food, good service, convenient location.

After a long day of driving all over Skye and hours of hiking, it was heart warming to have the food at Antler’s. Skilled cooking without being pretentious. Very flavorful. Generous portions but not crazy big. We had fish (haddock) and double-fried chips that came on a bed of cream&olive sauce with side of sweet pea and mint (I think) puree; roasted cod on a bed of green herb sauce (the sauce was the only meh thing on the entire table), braised cabbage topped with some sort of cream and granular cheese; and roasted leaks. All very good in taste and value. Honestly we expected and were prepared to the usual deep fried pub food but Antler’s was a pleasant surprise. Definitely recommended. Including 2 beers and a single Whiskey, total was €60.

Booked a table here, and the staff service was excellent. The food was really nice but a bit overpriced, considering the half roast chicken didn't include any veg or potatoes whatsoever. There's a discretionary service charge added to the bill, but you can tip what you think is a fair tip. It's best to book your table as its very busy!

BarRestaurant of Hotel Portree, which is located in front of the town square. Correct service, good and plentiful food.

The fish and chips were massive. Enough for 2

Wow...wow I tried the seared scallops and the slow cooked beef. Everything was so delicious. These guys deserve a Michelin 🌟.

We had lunch there and it was ok. The mac&cheese was great!

Not impressed with this place. Food was overpriced. Small portion of gnocchi for £16. Waiter made many mistakes with the order and the bill at the end. Bread selection was clearly burned when brought to table which was almost comical. Overall poor experience. OK atmosphere and live music was nice.

Limited but tasty menu of fresh ingredients, served up by a friendly staff in a clean, very casual environment. Nothing fancy here, but easy, pleasant, relaxed and satisfying.

Affordable price quality for Scotland. The food was surprisingly good.

It is best to make reservations here if this is where you want to eat. They had a lot of gluten-free options listed on the menu, which was nice for me. The waiter was attentive and made recommendations. The food quality was better than average. The portion size was average.

Visit March 1, 2024 The scallops on top of the black pudding were delicious. This restaurant was okay. suggestion!

Very good food. Fast and nice service. The food was served very quickly.

I had the pleasure of dining in a warm and comfortable restaurant. I ordered a Highland beef burger, which was delicious. However, I was a little disappointed that I wasn't asked how I wanted my steak cooked, and I didn't think about it myself. As a result, the steak was overcooked for my liking. 🥩 Despite this, the service and atmosphere were pleasant. 🍽️

Staff seemed annoyed to have guests, burgers were over salted and fries undercooked. It was a meal at the end of a long day, so I was happy to eat but man did it feel like I was unwelcomed.

Mediocre food, mediocre atmosphere. My hamburger was so dark that it tasted burnt in some places. Salmon was adequate. Brownie lukewarm. It was ok, but my least favorite meal so far in Scotland.

Had a great family meal, all 9 of us.

What a lovely pub. I was expecting nice food but what came was excellent. Really tasty, fresh, and good portions. We came here twice when we were on Skye. I tried the cod and gnocchi special and chicken & and haggis, both of which were excellent. My family all enjoyed their dishes including the kids. The service was really good and the staff were so friendly. Definitely recommend.

Excellent food. Quick service. Nice ambiance. Welcoming and smiling enthusiastic young staff. Ample space between tables. Facility of getting hard drinks served available from adjacent bar. Probably owned by the same group. Clean toilets. A kids friendly menu is available. Ready to change preparations to suit small kids.

Everything is very good. Very nice staff.

A wiz too pished so a cannae remember

Delicious!!! Go there and try anything

Soup tastes nice and fresh. The lamb was small portioned. Overall it was ok

Great atmosphere and service. Excellent food.

Everything was great, except that the food was saltier than what we've tasted eating elsewhere.

Staff were attentive, polite, and helpful. The food (fish and chips) was excellent and reasonably priced. Great place 👌 👍

Excellent food and service! Large portion sizes as well.

Very friendly staff behind the bar only came for a quick drink on our Isle of Skye tour

Delicious food, nice atmosphere.

We arrived without a prior booking, which is not something I'd recommend in Portree, and on a Sunday when little else was open. They still found a place for us (couple). The food was excellent, especially the desserts. Lovely warm atmosphere and very friendly staff. Sat for hours after eating, chatting and drinking cocktails. Very decadent. Will definitely stop here again. 💯

Lovely food excellent staff always enjoy here

We were lead here by our noses! On our first night here in Portree we were desperate for some late night dinner but due to just getting here we didn't have time for bookings so were told there was no space - which of course is our own fault but the woman who spoke with us was really nice and still tried to find a seat for us but no hope. So naturally due to the smell of this place we NEEDED to come back. We booked for the next night and came in excited for some food, the smell alone making us look forward. Immediately however there was different staff on from the night before and they seemed rsther stressed - not really an issue as I understand restraunts are busy workplaces however this did affect their service. The first woman was quite hasty with getting us sat and offered us some water to start, which we said yes to but never did recieve. Not a massive deal but did make us question why it never showed. We then had a different woman actually wait us for our meal and she was nice but again, hasty like the first woman. The food was delicious so there is no complaints on the actual meal! But we did see that our order got placed on the wrong table, and it seemed we weren't the only ones as I overheard a few tables refuse meals that wasn't for them originally. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and very cosy/welcoming and I would recommend it! Just make sure to book before.

Both slow cooked lamb and beef tasted heavenly!

The fish and chips were very good and a nice sized portion. The sticky toffee pudding was very small though compared to other ones I've had elsewhere. Decent drink selection

The portions are large and delicious, and the store staff are also very helpful

I was recommended this pub by a friend so my family and I went for dinner and were very impressed with the food! The fish and chips are the best I’ve had after 5 years in the UK! The staff were good and we enjoyed the food so much we came back a second night! We ate in the bar section which was lively with a small fire burning, it didn’t give off much heat so it was slightly chilly. The restaurant area is more protected and quieter so the draft may not be an issue. I would recommend booking as they are pretty busy which just shows how good it is. I will be recommending the food to friends who venture to Skye.

They made space for us (2 people) at the bar for dinner even though the restaurant was fully booked. The starter was beyond amazing (scallops, black pudding & green apple) - and the rest of the food was also really good. The best food we had on Skye.

Food was fantastic! You must try the Sticky Toffee Pudding!

Warm and friendly staff, we had a really good chowder

I was not expecting to have such an incredible burger here but they certainly delivered!!

Cheerful , friendly and efficient bar staff / waiting on staff . Excellent quality food at reasonable prices . Every dish I had was thoroughly enjoyed . Will be back

Excellent meal here! Best restaurant in Skye

It was a nice restaurant with a good atmosphere. We enjoyed the food and the staff were very friendly. They moved our reservation eventhough we made a mistake. Would recommend making a reservation, since it is very busy even in low season!
