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

Das Loch Bay Restaurant ist zwar etwas abgelegen auf der Isle of Skye, aber eine Reise wert. Das Essen ist sehr gut, alle Gänge bestehen nur aus Meeresfrüchten. Der Service ist sehr aufmerksam, die Weinbegleitung kommt in kleinen Mengen, was das Fahren danach vereinfacht

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!

We were delighted to make a return trip to Edinbane Lodge for dinner in February 2025. Once again it was a delight. Service was friendly and informative, and the food was really exceptional. Standout dishes from the ten course tasting menu were the langoustines in orange butter and the Falasgeir desert. Keep doing what you are doing, Calum, Eilidh and team- you create exceptional food and great memories.

We stayed at Taigh Ailean for our trip to Skye. We also had the opportunity to eat dinner there (Breakfast was included with our stay.) The dinner was so delicious! The view is lovely as you can see the loch from the windows of the bar. All the staff is fantastic and so friendly! I had a great dinner and I would describe it, but the menu changes to suit what is in season and available from the sea. Whatever you get, I guarantee it will be the best! Make sure you call ahead and get a reservation as it fills up quickly. I know that they also have live music, which would be great, but we didn't have any while we were there.

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!

Stopped in for lunch. It was full, but a table became available quickly. Had a very nice gluten free cheese toastie. Hubby had a salad and a side of chips with a black coffee that he said was excellent. I asked for a slice of their gluten free cappuccino cake to take away, and it was moist and delicious. There were more gluten free cakes to choose from. It's a nice wee café and the staff were very friendly and helpful and we'll be back. There is on-street parking and also a car park further along the road. On a nice day it would be lovely to sit at the outside tables and enjoy the view.
