Orasay Tearoom in Highland

Nice hard working folks who make great food. I had the beef chili and was as good as any in Texas! My wife had the Mac and cheese and really liked it.

The woman serving needs a lesson in customer service. Her attitude is a disgrace, unfriendly, smarmy and down right rude…. Which is a theme in Uig. After a limited but unpleasant exchange I cancelled my order and wished her good luck. Who knew the simple act of ordering food in a tea room would be such an inconvenience. Happy to take the money I’m sure! Not this time. Its the eye rolling and huffing and lack of welcome and smile that is the main gripe I have.

Stopped here for coffee and cakes. Sadly, coffee very disappointing, very milky and little flavour of coffee. Poor choice of baking too.

We had a light lunch here and enjoyed it with the friendly staff and quality produce . It is also one of the few places in Uig where you can get a proper fried breakfast.

My husband and I stopped off here when in Uig. It was nice and clean and I have to say, the scones were amazing! Also, if you're looking for a decent coffee you won't be disappointed. Parking outside too which is handy.

On a tour round Skye popped in for pot of tea and cake Made to feel welcome and nice service despite dropping water everywhere Warm scone and cream was brilliant Nice stop, perfect and small

We needed lunch whilst waiting for ferry across to Harris. Exceeded expectations, food good, lettuce crisp and good dressing. Sat outside on new decking in sunshine. Many thanks.

A mediocre attempt to milk the tourists. Scones were bland and served cold. Service was not very friendly. Check out the bathroom sink, it’s tiny! Had a good chuckle as I couldn’t fit even part of one hand.

I've stayed here every year for 10 years as a stop-off for the outer islands. bedrooms are fine in a fairly basic way but provide all you need. Not cheap but good vfm considering the ideal location. The owners have recently done a big refurb of the kitchen/dining area, superb and brought up to date. More improvements promised.

There are very few places in Uig to get food and drink. We'd initially walked into the cafe adjoining the Mace but looked like they were closing up for the day so came here instead. Wish we'd just gone without. We had a coffee, tea and large scone to share. The tea bags must have been a value brand so unless you like dishwater tea it was horrible, the coffee wasn't much better. The scone was goodness knows how many days old and extremely dry, also pretty sure it was shop bought and not homemade. The coffee machine is in the same room as the seating area so when they are making coffee you can't have a conversation without raised voices. It appears to be part of someone's house turned into an "eatery" in order to cash in on the tourism boom to hit Skye. The gentleman working there was really nice and friendly, the lady looked uninterested didn't know any of the prices and never smiled once. Our table was also uneven causing the majority of the coffee to be spilt. Possibly the worst place I've been to in a very long time.

we are staying in uig so on arrival may 19th we decided to go and have a look for a café while the cottage was cleaned we popped in to the orasay T room its a small T tea room that looks like its in the owners home its very clean the staff are friendly we had tea for two pieces of Victoria sandwich cake and a piece of cheese cake £10 .50 which thought was very good value very good cake highly recommend

This is part of the so-called Orasay B&B. It was not open when we were there. We were told that breakfast was not an option.

Ce petit tea room permet de prendre des boissons chaudes ou fraiches mais aussi de se restaurer. Carte simple de soupes, burgers et sandwichs servis avec des frites. Plats de bonne qualité et portions généreuses. Pas de toilettes mais avec 4 tables dans 13 M², c'est compliqué !! Pour manger vite fait, c'est une bonne adresse

I am a tour guide in Scotland and I was doing a 3 day tour in the Highlands and Isle of Skye with my clients. I always go for lunch to the Orasay tearoom in Uig and I bring my clients there. However, I received very bad customer service from the tearoom owner's daughter. I ordered a sandwich, then she told me she did not have this type anymore as one of my clients chose the same type of sandwich, then I ordered another type and she brought the new order as well as the old order which she had told me they were out of. Anyway, I told her I did not order 2 sandwiches for myself, I obviously ordered one after I was told they were out of my first choice. She kept telling me in front of my clients that it was my fault, that the sandwich was already prepared in the kitchen and that she has to serve it. While I understand that there was a miscommunication, it was the way she behaved with me as a loyal client who brings in business. I am not going to come anymore to this business as I was really frustrated from the service that was provided to me and my clients.

Stopped in for an unplanned midday bite. Mac n cheese for the kids and panini with soup for us folks....

Very small, but good food. Some of our group left because not enough tables, but there are picnic tables in front for warmer days. Several families with children here.

Es dauerte sehr lang bis ich bestellen konnte. De Tische waren länger nicht mehr gesäubert worden. Der Tee war kalt, der Kuchen ok. Danach bestellte ich noch einen vegetarischen Burger. Er war ungewürzt, und schmeckte nach Pappe. Das Relish war ungenießbar. Das Beste waren noch die Pommes dazu.

If you like decent home cooked food, at a reasonable price, then this is worth a visit, its a little quaint B+B with a tea room attached, a lot of choice is on offer, so, sit and relax whilst you stuff your face with loads of home baked cakes.

Locale carino , al posto di Uig.

called for tea and milk shake all good ,good friendly service will call in again on next visit to isle of skye

We were early for the ferry to Harris, so went in here for a cuppa and a piece of cake, and a comfort stop. No Toilets on the premises? We had to use the public ones. Is this even legal in an eating establishment? The...

This is an absolute gem of a place whether you are passing through or whether you are waiting for the ferry. The first thing one notices about the exterior is how smart, clean and tidy it looks. As you get closer, the garden takes your eye - very colourful and beautifully kept. The waitress was very welcoming and helpful. I had a simple baked potato but it was well made with a very nice side salad and the coffee was piping hot and refreshing.For me, this is the place to be while waiting on the ferry - clean, friendly and good food.

De passage à Uig non pour la distillerie de whisky (la seule de l’île) mais pour la vue sur les sur les Cuillins (raté, il pleuvait) nous avons vu ce tea room. Dans une maison particulière dans un décor minimaliste, monacal 2 salles avec des tables rondes. Bon burger de poulet accompagné de frites (servi sur une feuille de papier et une panetière en plastique (pas très hygiénique). Le sandwich au jambon et Cheldar servi chaud. Boisson à la rhubarbe très agréable.Le hic, sur place, impossible ici de se laver les mains avant de manger, pour les toilettes il faut sortir (sous la pluie et traverser la place). Inadmissible. c'est pour cette raison que je note cet endroit comme moyen.

Very friendly service. Newly arrived in town, the waitress was very patient in answering our questions and made excellent suggestions as to what to see and do. Quaint setting and great variety on the lunch menu. Highly recommend the toasted cheese melts, especially the tuna.

We arrived at 4pm, tired and hungry. Found our own seat as staff ignored us as we came in. I ordered calamari and chips as it was advertised on the board outside but they brought me calamari salad from the menu. My mother was also disappointed with her chicken salad. No toilets- they advertise them as the public toilets in the car park but those are closed so i had to go to the ferry terminal. Cash only. So it was ok, but overpriced for being a venue without much facilities.

La signora è molto gentile, ma il posto è rimediato da una struttura riadattata, con pochi sforzi, ad ospitare clienti. é stato l'unico posto, in Skye, dove ho mangiato male. Era solo un panino, ma era scandaloso (oltre che rovente). La stanza è talmente spoglia che sembra il refettorio di una casa di riposo. L'ho trovato un po' caro, per quello che è e quello che ti dà. Se state morendo di fame, è un conto; se no, fa niente.

Coming out of the lovely Uig pottery, I thought I might have a bite and also badly needed to relieve my bladder. It's only after I had ordered broccoli and stilton soup that I noticed the sign behind me that says that the loo was... the public toilet on the other side of Uig pier parking. I didn't even know you could have an establishment that serves food at tables without having a toilet.The soup may have been homemade but it tasted suspiciously like something out of a tin. While service wasn't disagreeable as such, the waitress never once managed a smile.And finally, the bill was very very steep for what I got. Thumbs down.Later in the day, the lovely staff at Uig Hotel where I had a soft drink made up for the bad experience...

Back in September 2012, (you do not go back that far in your options, so I chose 2016!) while travelling in B n' B's, we stopped in here for lunch. The Basil Tomato Soup was absolutely fabulous! When we returned back home to Canada, I contacted them asking for the recipe, they kindly sent it and I have been making it for the past 5 years. It freezes so well. Our neighbour just delivered two pots of his own basil that the started from seed, and am sharing the recipe with him. Thank you, it is fabulous!

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Fairly good for ambience.My wife asked for Crab Salad to be informed that they were now out of season. Should be removed from the menu. She had smoked salmon salad instead. Good value salad.I had the brie and beetroot tart with salad. Pity that the tart had been microwaved to make the cheese melt, as the pastry became soggy as a result.Chocolate milkshake only had a passing aquaintance with the chocolate.Notice in the tea rooms informed customers that they did NOT have toilets but to use those across the car park. Pity that those public toilets are now closed.Also no outside menu presented. Need to try harder.

No toilets and food priced at the top end imo.£.10.95 for fish and chips.The fish was very small and the chips unappetising.I had a chicken burger.Would say it was a frozen offering that had been grilled quickly.Paltry amount of chutney with it.These dishes and tea for 2 was a few pennies short of £25.Would definitely not recommend.Girl serving as pleasant but food was disappointing.

Lovely soup and coffee. My husband had a panini, which was good. lovely service. Good value. Would recommend, although quite hot and stuffy in there.

Driving through Skye, the Orasay Tearoom seemed perfect for a lunch stop. This small tearoom has a great soup and toastie deal, but also does a great chicken breast burger. We also had a Brie and beetroot tart, which was a little disappointing since there was hardly any flavor in the tart. Staff is very helpful in funding alternatives for allergies, service was fast and friendly. There are no toilets in the tearoom, so you have to go outside and across the parking to use the public toilet. Other than that, I would definitely recommend the Orasay tea room

Il titolo dice tutto! Non lo annovererei tra i pasti migliori del mio soggiorno in Scozia, ma tutto sommato sia il panino di mio marito, sia i miei maccheroni al formaggio (anche se da italiana non avrei dovuto prenderli :P) erano dignitosi. Se ci si trova lì per un pranzo veloce può essere una soluzione economica e giusta.

We needed some where to stay at short notice it was very difficult after phoning a few places was given the number for the Orasay Tearoom . Phoned and thay offered us a static 6 berth . We where showed to the van .Perfect the lady could not have been more helpful. It was very Cleen comfortable and lovely and warm a home from home. We had a meal in the tee room it was very good home cooking . When we left after a most enjoyable stay we where thanked and wished a safe journey. We will definitely stay ther again. Jackie and John.

Petite pause sympa. On a l impression de mangé chez les gens. La carte est symple mais mais fais maison ce qui fais son charme. L accueil est sympa. Rien d exceptionnel mais agréable pause a refaire

At very short notice they where able to give us a caravan. It was large , clean,and warm. We needed some where we could get to pick up the boat at 6 . 50 in the morning it couldn't have been better just 100 yards. We had some thing to eat it was very good 5 star thanks again for the last minute help we will recommend. Jackie and John FALLA.

I was afraid this tearoom would be busy, being right next to the ferry terminal. But I easily found a seat and enjoyed a ham and cheese panini, which was excellent! A great spot to stop for lunch or a snack while waiting for the ferry!

We stopped here whilst waiting for our ferry to Lochmaddy. The service was exceptionally quick considering the enslaught of our coach party. The butternut squash soup we both had was delicious. A great stop off.

I called in for lunch prior to catching a ferry, and although the restaurant was fairly full, I got a seat. The menu was limited, and I ordered a panini and a pot of tea. The tea arrived swiftly, and the meal soon afterwards, although it looked far from appetizing The panini was as described, but it was served with a minuscule salad comprising lettuce which could have been hidden beneath a credit card and a small wedge of tomato - no salad dressing. I passed on dessert, although as I paid the bill, I noticed that there were several options available in the fridge which did look appealing. The waitress was polite, although the general atmosphere in the cafe was that it was tired and needed a face-lift.

Stopped for lunch one day and enjoyed their wonderful homemade soup and toasties. Service was fast and friendly although the place was busy. Tis true they have no toilet facilities for customers but that isn't a big issue. It is a small place. We decided to try the lemon drizzle cake for dessert- oh my goodness. Best cake ever! Two days later we were looking for lunch again and well..... since we live on the other side of the Atlantic and likely won't get to come back again decided we needed one more piece of cake. Yummy.

This is a lovely place, very friendly owner, an English lady, who is married to a local guy. She makes lovely cakes. We had a salmon salad. It was simple, but really good, because of the quality and freshness of the ingredients. The salmon was from North Uist, really good. We had a elderflower lemonade and a rhubarb lemonade, both were delicious. It is a nice place to spend some more time if it rains, because of the collection of books. Lovely atmosphere.

Second and last time I will use this tea room. Food was okay but nothing special. Main concern is there are no toilet or hand washing facilities, you have to cross the square to use the loo's in the car park (I would have thought this was against health and hygiene laws?) Lack of card machine is also a draw back.

Arrived after tour of the area ready for coffee and cake. They had run of some things but it was near to closing. Cakes where uninspiring, tiffin looked and tasted bought in. Rocky road browny was so over priced for the portion size and £1.20 for a small finger of shortbread? Come on please. Coffee was ok but we won't be back or recommend.

So many home made cakes that were fantastic, my nephue almost cried when we tried to go back the next day and it was shut!!

è un piccolo posticino dove mangiare qualcosa. Io ho ordinato un tortino di pesce, nella media. C'è un odore un po pesante di fritto.

Lunch definitely hit the spot--but the scones!! They were the most amazing scones with jam ms cream I've had! Absolutely delicious!! An absolute must if you find yourself in Uig!!

This is definitely one of the better lunch options in this part of the Isle of Skye. After a long wait for a table (ferry passengers had flocked the restaurant before us) we enjoyed our food: a cheddar & ham pannini which was made with mature cheddar and was very tasty, a cheese toasty with chips which met expectations as well as chicken nuggets with chips as well as sausages, baked beans and chips which were all as expected. There was no kids menu but this was foregiveable given the overall reasonable prices (e.g. GBP 4.95 for the two last mentioned meals our kids had). The waiter (perhaps the owner) was very friendly and truly appreciative of the 10% tip I gave given my satisfaction with the good value lunch we had here.

We stopped in by here for lunch before our ferry to Harris,the tearoom was very busy but we were served quickly and the food was very good and reasonably priced, we opted for the macaroni & chicken, ham pesto pasta. It was just a treat!

A quick stop for mid afternoon coffees and sweets, we tried the pier restaurant, but their beautiful desserts are only available at dinner. Discovering we needed cash meant a modified selection:Lovely lattes, served in a tall cup, decent filtered coffee, and tea were all nice. We shared a lumpy bumpy for dessert, yum, a layer of spicy cake, an inch tall layer or a maple mousse, a layer or something creamy, topped with a fondant, a LA mode whip cream... It was quite good. The owner was most helpful in discussing our island drives, giving directions and advice, most helpful!

Went to the pier resteruant it looked run down inside and the prices where to high. We left and found this cafe. The food was excellent the prices where reasonable and the staff where very friendly

Picture the scene. 3.30pm on a chilly Saturday afternoon in (rather lovely and deserted) Uig and 4 motorcyclists pop into the Orosay for a cup of tea. There are 2 other customers, giggling in the far corner, and the remainder of the room was like the Marie Celeste. Empty tables but with plates and cutlery remaining...Then the owner appeared from the kitchen. Flustered and sweating. It was all too much for him - customers!I tried to order but he waved his hand and disappeared back into the kitchen, making 'busy' noises.We now understood why the young couple were giggling.5mins later the owner re-appeared, huffing and puffing. Blood pressure clearly high. Running a tea-shop was clearly looking like a very stressful bad career move. I gently suggested that he calm down - we were in no rush. The tea arrived and was, we all agreed, the best brew we had had on our 4 day trip to Scotland!So go to the tearoom. But treat the owner gently.

Travelling around the Isle Of Skye on a wet and windy Sunday we drove into Uig late in the afternoon looking for a quick bite to eat before heading off again. The Orasay Tearoom provided a welcome and warm shelter from the weather. An excellent choice wss available from tasty grilled paninis to calamare, a wide variety of teas and hot and cold beverages as well as cakes and scones. Quality and service were excellent and staff were friendly and very helpful, offering travel advice and general information. A perfect stopover....just right.

The isle of Skye by car seems to be conveniently separated into loops to drive around the island. Our first day driving around took us to Uig, remote but the ferry port for onward travel to the Outer Hebrides. It was busy around Uig with many vehicles lined up ready to board the 2pm ferry, and lots of people milling around. The weather was truly mixed, so a walk around the shops - a pottery, a beer outlet and a few more - was abandoned as rain lashed down and we headed for the Orasay Tearoom looking right on to the ferry terminal, and parking bays for ferry travellers. We were lucky to secure the window table in the tearoom. There is a super range of options on the menu and my husband went for the Broccoli Soup which came with lovely bread roll. I chose Carrot Cake - I never tire of a lovely piece of carrot cake - and we both had tea. The food was great, and the service very friendly. Everyone around us seemed to be enjoying what they had too. Our bill came to £10.65 – excellent price for what we had. Definitely a perfect place to have a quick bite when in Uig.

We stopped here on a tour of Skye. There were six of us, and the restaurant had room to seat us, but not all together. We chose this restaurant because it had part of its menu posted on a board in front of the restaurant, and the items sounded desirable. The positives:1. Quick service2. Food was good, but not remarkable3. I had the chicken panini with pesto and chips. The sandwich was hot enough, but a bit dry. The chips were fine and what I would expect.4. The waiter (owner?) was pleasant, helpful, and had a good sense of humor.5. The menu had a nice selection of items6. The desserts looked great, but we were full.7. The waiter was familiar with gluten intolerance and had options for us.Things I might change:1. Have toilets for customer use. The sign in the restaurant directed us to the public toilets down the street. 2. Accept credit cards. It sure makes it convenient for us foreign travelers. I tend to spend more with my credit card rather than risk exhausting the small amount of cash I bring along.

I was staying in the bed and breakfast next door and decided to eat in the tearoom, the breakfasts were so good.The food was served by pleasant staff, was hot and the best I have tasted on the island.I would certainly recommend this tearoom as good value for money.

'Small and homely' is how I describe this tearoom. The menu is varied and is affordable. And what a brilliant view over the whole of Uig Bay. The staff are friendly and full of advice to where to visit while holidaying. Will certainly return.

While driving around the Trotternish Peninsula, we found this little tea room and had a nice lunch.It was well worth the stop, and I highly recommend it. It is at the perfect location if you are taking the ferry from Uig to the Outer Hebrides.

Another very pleasant and tasty experience at this little hidden gem. A very warm welcome together with excellent food on the two occasions we visited on this trip. The home baking is simply mouth watering and the lovely homely setting makes Orasay an excellent place to chill out. Certainly worth a visit whilst waiting for the ferry at Uig.Thanks to all for these pleasant interludes.

This is literally someone's front room that you can pop in to have a cuppa in. It was pleasant enough, if a bit pricey, and the decor in the bathroom (note, it's a bathroom not a toilet) has to be seen to be believed. If you're needing lunch in Uig give it a try.

We were impressed with this little cafe in Uig, great coffee and the most beautiful tasting scone on our holiday in Skye

It's a friendly tea room next to the harbour. Coffee isn't their strongest asset as it ranges from instant to pressured filtered in the tea-maker. They do make an effort to serve it as strong as possible though and the result wasn't that bad. Food was tasty. Some better ventilation would help and perhaps consider having a second toilet as the place isn't that small.

This little tearoom was very close to the harbour. We ordered coffee, haggistoast and cheesecake. Cake and toast were very good but coffee was nearly undrinkable.

It may have been a bad day. We popped in for a coffee/tea and bacon rolls. There were two local ladies in having a cuppa at the same time. My husband ordered coffee and I had tea. It was ages before it came. The tea was ok, but the milk was more water than milk (I think they said it was very lo-fat, but even that milk usually looks like ordinary milk) and my husband was unable to drink the coffee. I don't think it was freshly percolated. The bacon rolls, however, were fine, but again it was ages before we got them. So, if we are back in Uig again I don't think we will be going there.

What a lovely little tearoom adjacent to the ferry terminal. The home baking was simply delicious and the service both friendly and efficient. The prices were probably the most reasonable we experienced on the island and it was obvious that this family run business are trying to give a high standard of service. We visit Uig quite frequently but this is the first time we have sampled the delights of Orasay Tearoom. We will definitely make it a regular watering hole in the future. Full marks for such a friendly welcome and for the quality of the good Scottish fare supplied.
