Ein ganz wunderbares, kleines und sehr spezielles Restaurant in einem kleinem Gartenhaus am Ende der Welt. Das Menü war ganz wunderbar aufeinander abgestimmt. Sehr gute Zutaten, wunderbare Gewürze, viel Kräuter und Blüten…… eine Geschmacksexplosion! Dazu wird der passende Tee serviert, der wirklich ganz besonders gut schmeckt und toll passt. Sehr viel Liebe im Detail, sehr viel Liebe beim kochen und sehr viel Liebe bei der Zubereitung vom Tee. Wir waren ganz glücklich, dass wir hier essen durften. Eine absolute Empfehlung für Leute die offen sind und ich sich darauf einlassen.

Eating here last night with my partner and a friend I went only knowing it was a vegetarian restaurant. Going in with no real expectations, I was amazed to find a genuinely unique and memorable experience. The food was all utterly delicious, but the starter risotto was unlike any other I have had, and the tea matched to it was stunningly well thought out and made for a brilliant sensory experience. All I can say is Petra and her partner have achieved something, that myself as a professional chef of 16 years working in fine dining dream of creating. A place where they cook for their guests what they love, with love and in a place they love.

When we were looking for a restaurant after a walk to the Neist Point Lighthouse, we found the Chidakasha Skye - almost by accident. And it was the best "accident" we could make. We were welcomed very friendly and got abducted in another world. The vegetarian food and different teas were just special, even better together. Everything was planned in lovely details - from the starter to the finisher. Thank you for this amazing experience, we will definitely come back when we're back on Skye.

Fabulous food with great tea pairings. The use of local ingredients and herbs gathered from the garden and surroundings was a revelation. In particular the courgette butter served with the main and meadowsweet sorbet accompanying the desert were wonderful. We loved the intimate setting (only a few covers). Petra and the person front of house (unfortunately we didn’t get his name) were lovely - we had a couple of very interesting discussions about the local ingredients and, importantly the teas! If you come to Skye you must seek out Chidakasha!

One would not expect something like that hidden away between the fields and sheep. The interior of the place is wonderful, calming in a way and put together with so much love and thought. The food was incredible and again made with so much love, mostly local ingredients where possible paired with an unmeasured knowledge about herbs and teas which are perfectly paired with the magical courses in front of you. We had such a great time and are definitely coming back for more. A massive thank you to the owners, such friendly and genuine people!

Wer eine große Speisekarte oder alkoholische Begleitung zum Essen sucht, ist hier an der falschen Adresse. Für alle anderen gilt: einfach die ruhige Atmosphäre bei tollem Essen und bestem Service genießen. Wir waren zu viert hier und konnten daher vom Dreigang-Menu jeweils beide Vorspeisen und Nachtische probieren. Alles hat hervorragend geschmeckt. Tolle, individuelle Gewürz- und Kräuterkombinationen. Zu jedem Gang gab es eine sehr gut passende Teebegleitung. Eigentlich liegt das Restaurant bereits oberhalb unserer üblichen Preisklasse. Es ist aber jeden Penny wert und hat mich dazu veranlasst, erstmals überhaupt eine Bewertung hier abzugeben. Bei unserem nächsten Skye-Aufenthalt kommt ein Besuch hier ganz nach vorn auf unsere Wunschliste!

This was one of the best restaurant meals we have every had. From the simple beauty walking up to the door and the warm welcome to the very last bite of dessert and sip of tea, we could not have asked for anything more. Petra Nemesova-Macdonald is a truly gifted chef and Scott makes the evening flow seamlessly. There were just 8 of us in the small dining room. My husband and I had everything on the menu (see below) between the 2 of us. The teas were paired with what we ordered and I was amazed at how they complimented each dish. Everything on the plate was edible as well as beautiful and the flavors were wonderful and vibrant. My husband was surprised by the heat in the radish flowers he had on top of the potato and kale cake. If you are lucky enough to be on the Isle of Skye and get a reservation, you will have memorable experience. (We were at the Three Chimneys the day before. While the people there were very kind and welcoming, there is simply no comparison in the food.)

We are what you would call 'foodies'. An essential part of any holiday for us is the food. Our meal at Chidakasha was the best we ate in Skye - even better than the Three Chimneys (rated in the top 100 in the UK) where we also ate - it was one of those rare things; a meal to remember.The food was fresh - we saw some of it being delivered from the garden opposite. The flavours beautifully balanced and exciting, with a unique use of fresh herbs, salad leaves and the odd beautiful flower.

My husband said the sticky toffee pudding was the best he ever had! We will definitely be back if we are ever in the area again.

All the dishes were flavoursome and fragrant. There are lots of teas to choose from and all beautifully served. The service from Petra was so nice and welcoming.

Attention à ne pas se perdre sur le chemin.Peu de places dans ce tea-room, ce qui en fait un endroit apaisant. La vue sur les cuisines offre le spectacle relaxant d'une dame charmante qui confectionne les gâteaux et les pains.On a pris un plat chaud et 4 (oui, 4) parts de gâteaux. Le plat chaud était très bon. On a pris 2 parts des ÉNORMES gâteaux dans la vitrine à manger sur place, et 2 autres pour la route. Tout était succulent (et végétarien voire vegan, ce qui n'est pas courant dans le coin).La carte des thés est immense.Les 2 dames que nous avons vu (en cuisine et en salle) nous ont accueillis très chaleureusement.

We were recommended to try this place by another cafe owner on Skye, so thought that was a pretty solid reason to try it. We were welcomed with a smile and given friendly and efficient service throughout. We were not disappointed by the lovely lunch served to us. The lunch platter, with a delicious spicy potato and cabbage stew, daal and fresh, crisp salad leaves, was excellent as was the beetroot and buckwheat salad. A blueberry and cashew cream tart was pronounced delicious and I enjoyed a generous piece of lightly spiced apple and cinnamon cake. There is an almost bewildering range of teas, two of which were tried by my wife, whilst I fed my caffeine addiction with a cafetière of Brazilian coffee. Highly recommended, even if, like me, you are a dedicated carnivore!

We had read wonderful reviews so we headed over to the Red Roof Cafe for a late lunch. We were able to get a table right away, but I can see why some may wait, as the restaurant is quite small. Everything looks fresh and clean and the music playing was so peaceful and relaxing. There were three offerings on the lunch menu, and the three of us each chose one. Afghan brown lentil and butternut squash soup, roasted beetroot and buckwheat salad, and the lunch plate which consisted of moong dal, courgette and tomato stew and a salad. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented, and the breads were amazing! Of course we had to try three teas and shared a pistachio cake and a sticky ginger and cardamom spice cake. I want to buy a house up the road so I can eat here every day. No, really! ; ) Thank you, Petra! Keep traveling the world and bringing back delicious teas and recipes for us.

The food was simply amazing! Everyone should definitely try the lentil soup and the cafes finest teas.

Tasty food, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere makes this secret place one of the best you can find in the Isle of Skye.

Parsley soup was superb ( who knew??), delicious chicken, great cheeses and an extraordinary light trifle dessert (I usually hate trifle). Everything was totally fresh from the garden or the farmyard. The wine list was small but terrific, we learned about new wines we had never tasted before.

Well worth a visit but check the opening times as they were only open Tuesday to Thursday when we were there.

What a fabulous experience. Only open three nights a week in the summer.. check before you book. Cosy, get what you are given single sitting, freshly prepared meal. We had duck lasagne the night we went. Personal service, best meal on Skye at a very reasonable price. Petrie, we wish you well in the future; you deserve it.

The whole idea is that the menu is decided on by the croft owners depending on what is available on the day, and all guests are asked to arrive before 7:30 so everyone can be served at the same time. Despite some of our party being held up in road closures and were 15 minutes late, we were made to feel warmly welcome. The food was homely and delicious and perfect after a very long day's travelling. The wine selection is fantastic for such a small restaurant. Great evening!

If you are lucky enough to be on Skye on one of the 3 days a week that the Red Roof is open, you should definitely book ahead. The set menu of 3 courses offers the freshest ingredients from the croft, prepared simply but exquisitely. The flavours and the whole concept work so well.

Excellent personlig service. Mycket god mat av fina råvaror. En del från egen gård. Restaurangen är liten och smakfullt inredd. Atmosfären varm och trivsam.

Some businesses transcend the normal experience and they generally are small, often relatively new expressions of genius by one or two individuals. In this case they are three and the collaboration is superb.

I've eaten in plenty of fancy / quirky establishments in numerous different countries, and the humble Red Roof has to be in my top three restaurant experiences ever. The staff were warm, unpretentious and knowledgeable. The food was simple but exquisite, made even better in the knowledge that I would never have chosen to eat a single course if I'd seen it on a regular menu, and yet the food was some of the tastiest I've ever sampled.

Die Reservierung wurde durch unsere Gastgeber vorgenommen. Wir wollten uns überraschen lassen und das wurden wir. Ich erwarte ja in einem Restaurant, dass es eine Speisekarte gibt. Da wurden wir das erste mal enttäuscht. Es gab 1 Menü und keine weitere Auswahl! Das Essen war gut, mit regionalen Produkten sehr liebevoll angerichtet. Wenn man nicht wählerisch ist, kann man das durchaus mal machen. Ich würde nicht wieder dort hingehen.

Red Skye does not really need another 5 star review, but I can't help myself (and I don't write many). Wonderful on all levels: location, food, staff, pairings, atmosphere. It was magical, delicious, conscientious, beautiful. From exceptional people you get exceptional food and experiences.

We came here for the set menu last week and the experience was amazing (and it was hard to believe that they had only been going with this format for 7 weeks). The menu had the origin of all of the food that was used in the dishes and much of it came from their own croft. The knowledge of our server (who is involved in the business) about where the ingredients were from and how to treat them was outstanding. This was the best food experience I have had since leaving NZ over a year ago. Everything was definitely grown, prepared and served with love.

WOW! Friends tease me because I am a self proclaimed foodie...I love food and experiences! NO DOUBT...this is the coolest experience (and yet so simple) and BEST tasting food (and yet so simple) that I’ve ever enjoyed!! Top 5 for sure! The three owners are brilliantly working together to create delicious food fresh as fresh can be! Only 18 spots though...so book it now!

We had dinner at Red Roof during our recent visit to Skye and can highly recommend it. Fantastic food using their own and locally sourced produce. Service was warm and welcoming. Our 10 year old daughter who can be a picky eater cleared every plate. Would definitely eat here again next time in Skye.

A really lovely little restaurant with a unique angle. They offer a set three course meal which is driven by what is available to them seasonally and on a daily basis by way of fresh produce from very local suppliers and their very own croft including meat from native breeds such as Hebridean and Shetland sheep, home-reared free range chickens and eggs and Highland produce. The food is exquisitely cooked and presented. If i was to be picky the place may lack a bit of atmosphere but i'm sure that will evolve over time.

So pleased we were told about the newly re-opened red Roof when we were on Skye and managed to book a table. I love the ideals of the Red Roof, sourcing food as locally as possible, the eggs we ate were from chickens roaming the croft across the road, and the chard in the main course had been picked a couple of hours before it was cooked. Loved the use of sorrel too both in the soup and as a granita in the dessert. Everything was so tasty, including the optional cheese course, which introduced me to some delicious Scottish cheese. There is no molecular gastronomy here, no fads or gimmicks with dry ice - just genuinely good tasty cooking, done brilliantly well in a tiny kitchen and service area. Everyone is so friendly, and I loved we were told about the food as it was served. It is a fixed menu, but Gareth accommodates dietary requests made in advance (I had a vegetarian main on a night when venison was being served, and my soup was made with a different stock). Everyone is served at the same time - but there is no rush and everything was very relaxed. The building is super cute too, a tiny old white washed croft building with tables for about 20 people. Even the crockery is lovely!
