Isle of Raasay Distillery
Borodale House Isle of Raasay, KyleI’ve traveled extensively. This is one of the best stays. The staff is fantastic. The food and drink wonderful. The views outstanding. Makes for a perfect getaway for couples as well. Peaceful but not too quiet. I was worried about my interior room and my fears were unfounded. Very comfortable, light and accommodating with a welcome dram of whiskey as well!

Birch Cafe
Bayfield Rd, PortreeEasily the best coffee in Portree (probably Skye). The staff were brilliant and we got oat lattes that were just perfect. The barista was friendly and accommodating and made one half-caff (a bit of a pain to make)
They've also got a great selection of cake.

MacKenzie's Bakery
Somerled Square, PortreeMacKenzie’s Bakery offers a wealth of sweet and savory pastries as well as breads. The selection is enormous and the variety overwhelming. Don’t be surprised by the long line outside the bakery, and don’t let it discourage you. The short wait is absolutely worth it. The delicacies taste excellent. Incredibly, the prices are very family-friendly. Nowhere else can you get such quality for such a good price. Four fully loaded donuts cost us 12 pounds. We even went back two days in a row.

Scorrybreac Restaurant
Scorrybreac Restaurant, 7 Bosville Terrace, PortreeThis was our second time at Scorrybreac this year and was just as good as (possibly slightly better than) the first. There are plenty of decent places to eat on Skye and a handful of genuine fine dining options. Of all the ones we've tried, our family favourite is this one. We enjoyed all the dishes on this October menu, a combination of the fairly traditional but very well executed (Hake with mussels, wild mushrooms, chicken broth) and the more novel/creative (Monkfish, celeriac puree, vanilla foam) and all were delicious. Service was friendly and attentive, dishes well-paced, if a touch slow when the restaurant at its fullest. If you're after quality, are willing to pay for it and have an open mind and palate, I'd strongly recommend you give this is a go. One tiny suggestion for the restaurant... would be really handy to have a spoon to hand with every course - would have saved our clumsy attempts to get every last drop of sauce/puree from the plate with a fork/knife/sneaky finger. We'll be back.

The View Restaurant
Scorrybreac Rd, PortreeWow! This is as simply one of the best meals we have had in a very long time! The view, no pun intended is outstanding, and the service is just as wonderful, but the food! Emma was our server and was warm; delightful and very helpful with my gluten allergy; and Rebecca, the manager, was lovely, and helped us earlier in the day to arrange transport from Sconser. For the meal .... Well! We started with the crab, which was flavorful and very fresh. My husband saw the table next to us served the Curried Cauliflower soup, and had to try it. Super!! The entrees were exceptional; I had a lovely, thick piece of cod, with a beautiful butter and lemon sauce with grape tomatoes, and they subbed out a stacked potato dish, due to my gluten allergy, and it was delicious. My husband had the scallops with pork belly, and while both were fantastic, the pork belly was truly amazing. We also had a side of the seasonal vegetables, which were crisp and very fresh. If you are on Skye, don't miss The View!

Gasta Port Righ
Isle of Skye Candle Co. Visitor Centre, PortreeGreat experience! We visited as tourists and were lucky to get a table since it was quite busy. All four of us had pizza from the stone oven – absolutely delicious. The restaurant has a modern feel and is located right next to a lovely candle shop with candles made on the Isle of Skye. Highly recommended!

Caberfeidh Bar and Restaurant
Caberfeidh Bar, Somerled Square, PortreeI was pleasantly surprised to discover this place. Proper sourdough pizza with good toppings. Sadly let down by a side salad that lacked imagination and contained raw onion, which dominated. Staff welcoming and friendly.

3 Viewfield Rd, PortreeHad a lovely one night stay here as we had to change our ferry from mallaig to uig to get to Uist.
They accommodated e of us plus a dog at a reasonable rate for 2 rooms and a full breakfast! Would highly recommend! From the back bedrooms you get to look out over the bay and we spent the evening watching the seals bobbing up and down!

Chargrill Restaurant Portree
Home Farm Rd, PortreeHad a fantastic evening at the Chargrill restaurant. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. The drinks were delivered immediately, and it was well worth the price. I will mention that the menu on the website needs to be updated with the current prices and side to main course ratio, but other than that it was great. Thanks to Mark and the team for a memorable evening!

Relish
1 Wentworth St, PortreeGreat coffe and breakfast rolls - friendly helpful staff. Used by many Skye residents.\n\nGreat experience and atmosphere if you can put up with rude, aggressive loud tourists. Maybe if they did not want 'to do' Skye in 2 hours they would get more out of their visits.

Red Brick Cafe@Jans
6 Broom Pl, PortreeThis is without any doubt the best breakfast venue in Portree! In the past I have also sampled many other items on their menu...all are excellent too! Although the Red Brick could quite easily change their cafe they have obviously chosen to remain true to traditional fare and provide the best food and service at decent prices to their customers. Thanks to all their staff! Fabulous!Btw....its not an English breakfast as the recommended dishes section implies....its Scottish.... thankfully!

Royal Bank House, Bank St, PortreeDog friendly pub in Portree
The most positive of this pub is that it was dog-friendly, it was open late (like at 14.00) it was very central, and not that expensive. We did not think the food was that great thought, ok but not great.

Bakur Bar & restaurant
A87, Uig, PortreeWe had fish and chips, which were very good — fresh, tasty, and definitely enough to fill you up. Prices are a bit higher than elsewhere, but that’s to be expected on Skye, which is such a big tourist hotspot.
The atmosphere was nice, and overall it was a pleasant place to eat. A solid choice if you’re in the area!

Harbour Chip Shop
1 Quay St, PortreeWe had this fish and chips almost one year ago today and we have not had a single better fish and chips since then PERIOD. Everyone leaving low stars is a stupid tourist and doesn't understand that this is as natural as it gets. The service was amazing and the owner gave us free sides just for being the last customers of the day. Seriously my life was peaking while I was eating this and I IMMEDIATELY knew I would never get another fish and chips as good as this one ever again. Thanks for the amazing memory

Tomita
2 Bayfield Rd, PortreeThis place is iconic, inspired to write my first ever Google review because what is with the low rating. Ppl rating it one star because the food is spicy? Grow up! Ppl rating it one star because it’s not authentic? Oh I’m sorry, were you expecting authentic Japanese food on an island off the coast of freaking Scotland?! The food is delicious, the decor is cute as hell, and the service is the best we’ve had our entire week in Scotland. Obvi don’t come here if you’re looking for Cullen Skink and Haggis but otherwise A+

Fish & Chips
1 Quay St, PortreeStopped for fish and chips in Portree and it was a very good choice. The fish was fresh and flaky, breaking apart in clean white layers. The batter was light and crisp, not greasy, and had that proper crunch when you bite into it. Chips were fluffy inside with a slight crisp on the outside — exactly what you want after a long day exploring Skye.
I’d still give it the silver medal rather than gold. It didn’t quite hit legendary status, but it was comfortably above average. The kind of meal you’re very happy with, even if you’ve had slightly better somewhere along the coast before.
The setting makes a big difference. Eating near the harbour, with the colourful waterfront buildings and boats gently moving in the water, just adds to the experience. There’s something about sea air and fresh fish that feels scientifically aligned — your brain probably enjoys the setting as much as the flavour.
Overall, a solid stop while going around the island. Good quality, great location, and exactly the sort of comforting meal you want in the Highlands.
