The best restaurants in Eilean a' Chèo Highland Highlands and Islands

The journey up the west coast of Skye is breathtaking. When you arrive the welcome is warm and charming. The dining room is cosy, relaxed and has a great ambiance provided by the music and the unpretentious service. Finally, the food is amazing - it is a love song to the ultra-local ingredients, delivered in a way that doesn't have to try too hard. The whole evening was perfectly paced and will live long in our memories.

Nestled in an unassuming little hut on the Isle of Skye, Chidakasha offers a dining experience unlike any other. This hidden gem provides a tranquil escape with its calming atmosphere and focus on vibrant, seasonal flavors. The unique tea pairings, expertly matched to each dish, elevate the culinary journey and add a delightful touch to this already exceptional experience. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a sense of serenity, allowing you to truly savor the exquisite vegetarian cuisine. Chidakasha is a must-visit for those seeking a truly memorable and unique dining experience on Skye.

Of course it was wonderful to be greeted by Max, the guard dog! Nice atmosphere for drinks, and to learn a little about the area. Book ahead for dinner there - it gets great reviews, and many people were trying to get a table with no success. It will be on our list for next time!

Yet again another sublime dinner, fantastic flavours, amazing presentation, cannot praise it highly enough. The front of house staff are so friendly, professional and knowledgeable, the dining room exudes old country house vibes, and Chef Patron Calum Montgomery, Scottish chef of the year, deserves every accolade, cannot wait for our next visit. Thank you to the Edinbane Lodge team for a wonderful experience.

La pizza era sabrosa y asequible. El pizzaiolo es muy amable. Estábamos a pie y nos llevó solo unos 20 minutos caminar allí desde el centro de Portree, sin duda vale la pena!

I really can’t say enough wonderful things about Amy’s Place, Alison & Mark and such wonderful people who go over and above for their customers, if it’s just cake you want after exploring the beautiful countryside or sandwiches, soup or one of the other very tasty treats on offer you can’t go wrong Alison very kindly made me a sugar free pudding when Finding out we were coming to stay for a week nearby and she make all the cakes herself and Mark makes a wonderful coffee or drink of your choosing, I really love all the locally sourced treasures that they sell too and find multiple things to take home with us. Mark & Alison also raised over £1800 for MacMillan cancer support charity this year when Alison cut off all her hair, well done Alison you’re amazing. So please stop by and enjoy a tasty treat a drink and two wonderful human beings who run this local business and welcome everyone the same was with a smile and infectious enthusiasm. I can’t wait to visit again.

Great coffee and bakery in a lovely shop. After a stop at the Oyster Shed grab a coffee, sit and enjoy! (The limit is 100!!!)

What a fantastic find on Skye. We called in for a coffee in the morning, which was very good. After exploring the area for a few hours, beyond the cafe, I suggested to my husband we call in for a bite for lunch as there was not much else open between this place, and going to the Nest Lighthouse. We enjoyed the Quiche and salad, and a delicious piece of home baked slide. A delightful setting and with the sunny day, it was fabulous to sit outside the Yurt and in the garden, enjoying the scenery. Fabulous, friendly service too, and value for money, i.e. not expecting save for the coffee, slices or meal.

Stopped by for a quick lunch it was everything I hoped for langoustines were delicious would definitely recommend and look forward to a return visit

Had a lovely lunch today in Raasay from this wee hidden gem. Lovely piping hot soup, toasties, ice cream, coffee and cakes.

Found this place after a morning of fishing and so glad we did! Great takeaway set up, super friendly service, cakes clearly made with passion, they were to die for! We couldn’t decide which to buy so bought all 4! Was going to save two for later, but they were too good to keep, so ate all 4 with a lush cuppa overlooking the sea - mmmmm delicious! Thank you for sharing a little slice of happiness with us!

Donald very kindly offered us a Xmas dinner at his gorgeous bistro on the 20th December. The restaurant would normally be shut over the winter season as it is so remote. His Cullen Skink was outstanding as was our delicious xmas dinner finished off with homemade treacle pudding! Delicious food and such friendly welcoming hosts. We will be back! Thanks again Sophie & Family

Brilliant find! Stopped at the falls for a cuppa & some home made fudge one day & hubby spotted Blaggis fries with peppercorn sauce, so made a return visit on way back from Elgol. Seriously blooming magic!

Gezellige plek om even te stoppen voor koffie en een gebakje. Super vriendelijke bediening, maken met iedereen een praatje.

In a beautiful location. Very comfortable, staff all very pleasant, drinks and snacks are lovely. Very busy when we called in
