The View Restaurant in Highland

The food was truly excellent, the restaurant itself is beautiful, and the staff were very attentive - some of the best service I’ve received at a restaurant in a very long time. I wish I could come back soon!

Very overpriced for the food being served. We got the mushroom pasta special which sounded nice since they were freshly picked from the fields that morning apparently, but also possibly may not have been the best mushrooms to serve, cook and eat since they made us both sick afterwards. Also to start, I got a salad entree which sounded really nice on paper but was missing flavour and a kick - it was boring to eat, not well presented and not worth the crazy price. Also there is no view at night time and its definitely not worth paying for the food without the view...

I stayed at the wonderful Cullin Hills Hotel with my daughter on a very special trip and it was spectacular. We booked the restaurant only for our first night and after our meal quickly booked in for our second night. I can't rate the menu, staff, VIEW, and experience highly enough. From having a glass of wine outside looking down to the Portree foreshore and across to the Cullin Hills to the wonderful food inside and serviced by lovely staff the experience was sublime. My daughter even declared 'One day I'll get married here!' and considering we live in Australia that is quite the compliment. Love!

Excellent restaurant Very good food and service. Worth the visit if you are in Portree Recommend for sure

We had two amazing meals in the beautiful View Restaurant during our stay At The Cuillins Inn Hotel. The food, ambience and importantly the staff all combined to make this a truly special time on the Isle of Skye. I would have no hesitation in recommending The View Restaurant.

We stayed on the other side of the harbor and walked the 15 minutes to The View for lunch. It was a very wet and blustery day. The delicious food (venison burger with chips and goat cheese flatbread) and the fantastic view of the harbor with its fishing boats and pastel buildings made the walk well worth it.

A really fantastic fine dining restaurant, also suitable for non residents (of the hotel). A high quality kitchen is producing excellent menus served by lovely staff. We enjoyed the relaxing moments and can absolutely recommend it. It is located 20 minutes walking distance from the center of Portree overlooking the Loch.

Restaurant has both dairy free and gluten free options. Waitress was helpful in providing information about gluten free and dairy free options.

Fine dining (limited menu) with a tremendous view of Portree harbor! Excellent service too. A memorable night for us.

Return visit. Thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday Lunch once again at Cuillin Hills. Nice choices on the menu and delicious food. All our party enjoyed their lunch.

I love it ! The food was amazing ( I had the tagliatelle with lobstard), the wine was good. I love the view and the way the waiters welcomed me, being friendly and kind. I did not felt alone or akward like in others places where they dont know how to welcome à single person. Perfect

I’m giving this five star for the food and for the view. The service I would score four star as it was a bit slack tonight. When we finished our entree’s they didn’t take the dishes away and put the mains on the tables. Never ask if we required another drink. Dishes only collected after our mains. Overall the food was excellent, the chicken and fish were superb. If you visit Portree this is a must restaurant to visit.

The lamb dish was especially good and the View and service were excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant

This is well worth the short stroll from the main town of Portree. We had a terrific view of the bay. Excellent menu and the whole meal was superb with quality, attantive welcoming service. Lovely lounge/bar area for pre-dinner drinks

Absolutely beautiful setting with simply delicious Scottish dishes creatively presented. Service was impeccable and timely.

Hotel great, food good, service in restaurant poor - especially breakfast which was very disorganised.

This is a lovely restaurant in an absolutely beautiful setting. The food was great, service was wonderful and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. We weren't guests at the hotel and I thought it might be a bit "fancy" for us (We are on Skye for the hiking!) But it was comfortable and they didn't bat an eye when my husband ordered only soup for dinner. It was a wonderful meal and I'm so glad we were able to get a reservation and get in to enjoy the meal.

The wife and I ate breakfast and dinner a the View during our stay in the Isle of Skye. Both breakfast and dinner where amazing. Everything tasted so fresh each meal. The service was wonderful and very friendly. I have nothing but praise for this restaurant. If you are in Portree it is a must visit eatery. We plan to go back when we visit again next year.

As the name name suggests, you have a great view out over the water. The food is top quality and prepared with care and attention. Our server was extremely friendly and we shared stories as she attended our table, which make the experience even better.

Had 2 breakfast and 1 dinner at this restaurant. The view is excellent, service was very very slow. Breakfast : too slow, be prepared to spend 1-1.5 hours, waiting to order, waiting to be served. Food was average. For 1 morning, after waiting for a long time, the wrong food was delivered… wasted too much time waiting! Dinner: food is ok, prices are too high for the quality of food. Bar: must try the Skye Gin with Elderflower tonic

The staff were beyond wonderful and I enjoyed myself thoroughly for three days. Would highly, highly recommend.

We had the pleasure of dining at a window seat with a perfect view of the harbor at Portree. The Hake fish and the Shin of beef were amazing as was the Sticky Banana Toffee pudding. Service was very good as well. We would dine here again!

60th birthday celebrations, we were wonderfully looked after, everything was perfect, food, setting,

Overall we’ve disappointed with the food in Scotland but ‘The View’ was absolutely excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and location. If you want top quality food be sure to visit.

We had a delightful meal in The View...outstanding service, outstanding food and outstanding views. As a hotel guest, we decided to eat in the restaurant the first evening and it was one of our trip highlights. This hotel is a gem and the staff outstanding. It you can get there from where you are...go!

We had a delightful evening at this restaurant. We had made an error and booked the wrong date, but Chris (dining room manager) was very cordial and found us a table after a brief wait in the bar. Our food was delicious, esp the mussels appetizer, and service excellent. The view from our table was stunning. Chris continued to check on us. We loved this restaurant!!! Treat yourself and visit soon. It is a five-star!!!

We had a family gathering on the Isle of Skye and made dinner reservations for 26 people. Coordinating the dinner arrangements and menu selections was made easy by the efficient and responsive communication with the restaurant. The location and view over the water was beyond expectation. The restaurant is beautiful, the staff (from host, to servers and bartenders) we welcoming, professional and available for our dinner. For ease of serving 26 we had one menu: tomato bisque to start, slow roasted shin of beef over risotto and potatoes with onion on the side. Dessert was cheesecake. The soup was hot but not too hot. The beef had amazing flavor with perfect accompaniment. Dinner service flowed smoothly and our party was served without challenges or delays. After dinner we adjourned to the lawn and watched the sunset. Our entire experience from planning, to serving and dining was top notch. After dinner drinks watching the sunset was a treat. Our dinner was…delicious!

Fabulous restaurant. Great food and wine. Friendly staff. The best view in Portree. Definitely worth the expense.

We think this was the nicest part of Portree. It was absolutely beautiful situated up high overlooking the harbor. The food was delicious and the service was friendly. We would highly recommend a visit here.

Fantastic evening celebrating our wedding anniversary. Special thanks to Chris for making the night so special. Great service and excellent recommendations.

wonderful food and excellent surroundings with friendly staff. the hotel has recently been upgraded in the lounge and the bar room which is in keeping with the style of hotel give a warm and comfortable feel.

Stayed at The hotel and dinner with family. Very good food and atmosphere. Recommend if you stay at Portree

We enjoyed a delicious meal in The View. the staff were friendly and created a welcoming atmosphere. We were fortunate to get a window seat so we were able to enjoy the spectacular view throughout our meal,

Excellent setting with great view over Portree. Calm, lovely atmosphere in the dining room with prompt friendly service. Food was well cooked and presented with good choice. Thoroughly recommended and we will return

Great food, fantastic atmosphere and view. Staff very professional and attentive. Marinated walnuts on bread board was a nice surprise.

I’ve been lucky to stay at the hotel for 2 nights and opted to eat here for both. Food v v good, fish exceptional, but the star for me was the service which is second to none. Polite, attentive and caring without feeling forced or suffocating. Can’t fault it. Big thanks to Ben for making tonight the perfect night. PS also worth noting that the kippers I had for breakfast were first class.

I had everything on the menu of the week we were there. It was all perfect but gosh just thinking about the mussels makes me want to go back!!

Accueil et service très sympa, les plats sont bons et bien présentés. Une fois de plus, comme partout, ça ferme très tôt, on était (à nouveau) les derniers attablés pendant que les serveurs préparaient la salle pour le petit déjeuner Les tables de 2 sont souvent face à la très belle vue. Réservation presque obligatoire, m'eme en dormant sur place, c'est pris d'assaut (et ce, même hors saison)

I realised I have been visiting Scotland and Skye for 20 years this year. Not stayed at Cullin Hills Hotel every year but definitely the last 10 concurrently. We make the effort to stay here especially for the restaurant.if you drive this far north it has to be worth the trip. Every year I worry that I will be disappointed because either the service or food have slipped but thankfully not. Superb friendly service always. The food has been consistently superb every time we visit. Prices have crept up but they have everywhere but you still get decent sized portions not arty looking plates that wouldn't fill a midges belly. Here's to the next 20 years!

Recenty moved to Budhmor and my first experience of dining in my local hotel/restaurant was a very positive experience. Lovely food, service and atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back.

This is an excellent restaurant serving very good food in a dining room with one of the best views in Portree.

Everything was absolutely perfect! The food was so delicious, the view was magnificent, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere perfect!

As I only had a meal here I can only comment on the restaurant not the rooms. I had the Sunday lunch which was competitively priced for 3 courses. It was very tasty, well presented and had perfect portion sizes. All the tables were facing the outstanding view of Portree harbour, the loch and the Cuillin mountains. Or if you wanted to sit outside that also had the same view. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend The View even if you only wanted a coffee. It's a 10 minute walk from the centre of Portree.

Absolutely superb lunch - every course a winner. A most beautiful dining room with amazing views. We like the choice of dishes for Sundau lunch - 3 starters/3 mains/3 desserts. None of this 'starter menus which is so easy for lazy chefs. The cooking is way above some of the highly rated Skye restaurants - I exempt the wonderful Kinloch Lodge which has been impeccable since the 1970's . Cuillin Hills staff are friendly, professional and efficient. The newly updated public areas in the Hotel are very well-designed and welcoming

Called in for a Saturday lunch with my wife. Fantastic setting overlooking Portree Bay and the restaurant had all been recently refurbished very tastefully. Immaculately clean and lovely environment. It was quiet at the time we visited but the service was superb. Adam, our waiter was excellent. Very attentive and accommodating. He did a great job serving us. The food was great- fish and chips fantastic and the ginger sponge pudding with cinnamon ice cream was delicious. Highly recommend as either a place to eat or stay or both when visiting the Isle of Skye. This place is consistently of a very high standard. Well done Adam on doing a top class job !!

What a marvelous experience from the start to the end it is to dine at The View Restaurant. Staff is super friendly giving you the additional flavor of being well received in their beautiful island.

We had a wonderful dinner ... food was just perfect and the service/staff were excellent. Highly recommend.

We decided to go posh for lunch after a stiff climb on the Storr. Great service and some fantastic menu choices. Charming waiter in an 'old school' ambience.

We had a venue booked for my wife’s birthday however due to unforeseen circumstances they cancelled and we booked the View Restaurant and we so pleased that we did from arrival to leaving the experience was superb, Adam our waiter was first class, the food was first class and the wine recommendations a great match, we will certainly pay another visit, and recommend the restaurant to friends

Had lunch In the view restaurant. Fantastic food and very good service. Friendly helpful staff, great value for money. Will definitely be back.

We visited over Christmas as a family of six from Spain. The team members made us feel very welcome and the food was excellent, thanks very much

The food was beautiful and the service was brilliant- very attentive and put us at ease straight away.

I had both dinner here & enjoyed the hotel's breskfast. Both were very delicious & well plated. I highly recommend the figs with goat cheese starter & the roasted squash for dinner.

Where to start it was amazing. Such warm welcomes from all the staff and genuine friendship from really nice folk. The table was lovely all festively set and with crackers, little jewels and snowflakes. The food was amazing, proper cooking going on here and boy...

We dined here on both nights of our stay. The food was great, restaurant setting perfect with a great view and the staff wonderful.

It was suggested that we go to The View, and we're happy we did. It was nice to be a little outside of Portree, and it was not crowded. First of all - that view is stunning. It just has a very calming effect on...

We dined here on 4th ....and owing to our experience returned the next evening on the & 5th November! Why? Because the choice and quality of the food was delicious, the staff were attentive and friendly....and the location of the restaurant is second to none!

Good ambience and service. Order the lamb for main course but may be too tough for me. I was expecting it to melt in the mouth. Grill chicken was tender and moist though. Food presentations were great however they were over salty.

Best meal of our trip to Scotland. Great service, delicious food, and tremendous view. Breakfast was great, also!

After a long drive from Edinburgh to Portree, we could not have asked for a better hotel and restaurant as our end destination. Lovely location, quality food and professional service. Thank you.

We visit Skye 3/4 times a year and always book Sunday Lunch, the quality of food, level of service and the restaurant itself is excellent and I would highly recommend it if you live on Skye or visiting for a holiday you will not be...

Excellent restaurant. Tiny so a reservation is a must. Great food and service. My husband forgot his glasses there and the chef brought them to our hotel! Now that’s great customer service!!

We dined here on four consecutive evenings when we stayed in this hotel. The view overlooking the harbour is superb even at night with the lights reflecting on the water. As this was also the breakfast venue we were able to appreciate the view in...

This restaurant is in an amazing location with a stunning view of Portree. We made a reservation around sunset & the sights were breathtaking. We enjoyed our meals however service was a little slow. They seemed to be understaffed as our server had what looked...

Excellent food (chicken and pan fried salmon), some of the best we’ve had. You need a reservation, and specific times are blocked off for hotel guests only, which is helpful when having trouble finding places not full for dinner. Wait staff friendly but didn’t come...

We were staying in the hotel and booking in the restaurant as a birthday celebration for my wife. The food was wonderfully and the staff were very attentive and professional but friendly too. The happy birthday message with desert was very much appreciated.

Eating dinner with friends I was disappointed with my choice of main course. I had the pan fried salmon which on the menu was accompanied by apple and cucumber dressing, buttered greens, samphire and saffron potatoes. What actually arrived on my plate was the cold...

If you are looking for something a little more upmarket from your pub grub this place is worth a look. The food we had was amazing. The service was attentive and prompt. The view over the Skye Harbour was breathtaking.

Highly recommended. Fixed Price 2 or 3 course Sunday Lunch Menu - Good Choice Great Service Excellent food.

We enjoyed a lovely evening of delicious dining, excellent service and stunning views. Be sure to make a reservation.

The meal was great and the service spot on. The scallops were cooked to perfection and the lamb so tasty. Everything about the restaurant is so pleasant, comfortable with a good vibe. The staff were friendly and professional.

Wow! What a memorable experience! Had made reservations a couple of months ago to the View restaurant in Portree and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend this beautiful spot with not only amazing food and views but the staff was attentive, friendly and helped make...

Er had a very nice birthday dinner in the restaurant. There was beside a beautiful place an excellent service. The selection of vegetarian food was outstanding. We felt very welcome and spend a beautiful evening.

We visited the View restaurant at Cuilin Hills Hotel for our last night in Portree as a treat and we weren't disappointed. The staff were so helpful and friendly, even making good recommendations for food and wine, and the food felt luxurious with a good...

Gorgeous view from a lovely spot while dining. The excellent food is only trumped by a friendly and caring service.

The 2 gentlemen who served us were mega efficient and very friendly. The food was excellent as always and the venue? well it's such a comfortable restaurant and the view is amazing.

My wife and I spent 3 nights at the Cullin Hills hotel in Portree, and enjoyed 5 meals in The View during our stay. With reservations in town requiring advanced notification, we did take advantage of the priority status of hotel guests. The staff are...

At The View, you have the privilege of enjoying delicious food and drink, distinguished service and a unique view of the small harbor with the colorful houses in the background.

A nice upscale dinner with fresh high quality food. Everything nicely presented. Gorgeous location with an outstanding view while enjoying dinner. Attentive service.

Excellent restaurant. Good food & quick service. Lunch time menus very good and varied. Staff friendly & helpful. Wonderful setting & view from restaurant. Large log fire in the lounge for after meal. Locals & walkers drop by for coffee

My wife and I stayed at The Cuillin Hills Hotel for two nights. We ate at The View Restaurant on both of these nights. The hotel rooms were excellent, the staff were very welcoming, friendly & professional. The food however was outstanding. I would go...

I visited with my wife and daughter during our motorhome tour of Skye. Fantastic food and staff. Well worth the visit. Daughter said it was the best fish and chips she has ever had. The venison was to die for, cooked to perfection. Great selection...

Nice Sunday lunch marred by undercooked boiled potatoes so they were quite hard(how on Earth does a chef not check something so basic?) Isle Skye Black Pudding wasn't a patch on Stornoway stuff -very bland - please revert to the prime product:) Location is lovely...

A delightful evening and dinner. Relaxing. Terrific views of the harbor with grassy lawns stretching out in front of us. Food was quite good. Husbands venison was tender and juicy. My salmon was cooked nicely. Waitress could have been more attentive, e.g., refilling water glasses...

Nice dinner with a romantic view of the harbour at sunset . Lovely food, especially the starter and the traditional sticky pudding dessert. Very nice staff

We had a fantastic dinner at the View. Our seats were next to the panoramic windows with a fantastic view of Portree bay. The service and food were fantastic. The list of whiskeys was quite extensive.

This is our go-to venue to take visiting family or friends for Sunday Lunch. Service is attentive without being overbearing, the food is excellent and good value for money and it's probably the best view in Portree.

We have enjoyed all our visits here to enjoy a relaxing Sunday lunch in a relaxing venue with fantastic views.

Outstanding service and food. Best mussels I have ever had. Our group had varying dietary requirements, and the restaurant was able to satisfy everyone from the vegan to the pickiest of our group. Prices were reasonable and the setting spectacular.

Booked for lunch. Excellent dining room and of course views across to harbour. Staff very helpful. Limited menu being lunch time but OK. I chose a small bowl of mussels which was actually quite generous but unfortunately served with stale seemingly mass produced bread. Not...

The View is within the Cuillin Hills Hotel. It's a great property, set on the side of Portree, with a magnificent view. The Dining Room is spacious - with space between the tables, looking at the view. Also, Tucker was an outstanding waiter - very...

A must visit for anyone going to Skye. The view from 'The View Restaurant' is unique. The food is simple but good and the staff service was excellent.

Can’t miss stop for lunch or dinner. Book ahead!! It’s always full. We had lunch here. Awesome view, great friendly service. And of course the food was great. Best fish and chips I’ve had. Plus sticky Toffee pudding. They have lots of GF options too...

You cannot beat the beautiful view of Portree from this lovely restaurant and the food and service compliments the view. Everything was outstanding and I really enjoyed this experience.

I suppose the best restaurant (in a hotel) in Portree. First there is an amazing view on Portree and then a beautiful parc. Inside it is a quite elegant place. We really enjoyed the excellent food and service. Highly recommended!

Amazing view from the restaurant, good and diligent service, good food. You have to book ! Ask for a table close to the windows.

This restaurant has it all. Wonderful view excellent food and a staff that works hard to make it a truly exceptional experience

Excellent view, food was amazing and had a really special dinner. I'm definitely coming back here soon.

The food was a five, absolutely exquisite. Mussels and scallops were amazing. The view was absolutely stunning. We called ahead to say we’d be late, traffic was crazy getting there and we got stuck behind a few slow cars on the winding roads. We mention...

We had a great lunch at the View restaurant. The lunch menu is a simple offering of sandwiches, salads, burgers etc, but they were all absolutely delicious and pretty good value too. And there is a fantastic view from the restaurant- try to get a...
