I didn't have high expectations for the almond sponge but it was quite good. The chocolate sponge was my least favorite but had exceptional frosting and was topped with chocolate shavings.

One bite and I knew they were abnormally good, when I went back inside the cozy interior to take photos I noticed all the awards and plaques they have along the back wall. This is an odd gauge but both days there was a large amount of French and Italian tourists eating here and my stereotype is they are super picky about bread and pastries so I knew it was good. There was a constant line of people but they were quick in grabbing and heating the pastries and making coffee. Our favorite was the bacon and cheese turnover. Had it both days and delicious both times with a nice crunchy and flaky crust and quality bacon and cheese used. We did not repeat the sausage pasty because it tasted under seasoned. They have a "spicy chicken" turnover that had sugar added to the hot sauce to soften the heat, I would call it very mild so don't be scared to order it if you can't eat spicy. This may not be appealing but both days the bags they gave use the pastries in immediately started showing oil stains from the butter they used. The portion sizes are great so I didn't feel too stuffed after eating one of these for breakfast.

The kitchen was knowledgeable and accommodating--no long explanation required, which is always a good sign. They also had a couple of gluten-free desserts available, which is a bonus worth mentioning. She had the burger, I had the fried chicken sandwich. Both were good. Nothing flashy about the place, but that's not what you're here for. Solid, straightforward lunch spot in Portree. Good for: quick lunch with friends Would return.

There are very few options for lunch in Portree apparently, and this is one of the places that was suggested by our Tour operator. It was a quaint little café, with a cute interior and a small, simple menu. My wife opted for the Fish and Chips, and I ordered a Cafe Smash Burger. The food was good, but nothing spectacular. I did enjoy the large strip of bacon in the burger. This is a Cafe where youplace your order and pay for your meal at a counter. The staff don't interact with us much but seemed nice enough. The glass display did have some treats that looked enticing, but we didn't try any of them. All in all, I don't think you have a lot of options for a meal when visiting Portree, so I would say this would probably be the best one to go to. They'll serve you a meal, and it should probably fill you up. But it's nothing special.

I have to believe that the only reason this place is still in business is because there are enough…read moretourists that will eat here when there is literally nowhere else to go. Six items were on the menu: a soup of the day (rice and chicken) with bread, a ham and cheese sandwich, a chicken/bacon/sweetcorn sandwich (check the TripAdviser reviews if you want to hear more about that one), a vegan cheese and pickle sandwich, a pulled pork wrap, and a falafel/mango chutney wrap. Five pages of the six-page menu were drinks, coffee, and alcohol. This is not a food place. It looks like one. Based on old reviews and photos, maybe it used to be one. I did come in the afternoon, so maybe it's better for breakfast. Or maybe not. For the amount and quality of sandwich I got for 5 quid, I should have just gotten a meal deal at the co-op. Genuinely, a meal deal sandwich would have been better quality. My ham and cheese did have both ingredients, but the cheese was shredded and the ham was very thin-sliced and overwhelmed by the cheese. My guess is that it's made to be toasted, hence the shredded cheese, and that was an option for 20 pence-- but why on God's green Earth would you serve a cold sandwich with shredded cheese? The bread was bland and basic-- fine if you're making yourself something at home, but not something worth paying for at all. (Again, it was like a meal deal sandwich. But worse. I would never disrespect a meal deal sandwich like this.) Based on the service (or lack thereof) we received from the very beginning, I should have listened to my intuition and gotten up to find somewhere better. The wait staff are called that, I assume, because they will wait ten minutes for you to ask them if they can take your order, only to be repeatedly rude to you when you politely ask for the bare minimum amount of service. Full disclosure: I have worked in food service before. I sympathize with anyone who has to deal with customers. But when we weren't served, and went up to ask if our order could be taken, we were snapped at and told to go back to our table. No "apologies, someone will be there shortly". Not even a "sorry for the wait, we're very busy right now". Just "go back to your table". So we did. Which was a huge mistake. I've lived in Scotland for more than a year and I don't know if I've ever had a meal that depressing since living here. And I've made Pasta in Sauce at 3am with just water because I ran out of milk. I won't be too hard on our table's waiter because he was very young and inexperienced, and I expect he's received minimal, if any, training on how to wait tables. I honestly felt bad for him. He looked as though he would rather be anywhere else. In that way I felt a real connection to the wait staff; in fact, it was the only time I actually felt truly seen by them. I, too, would rather have been anywhere else. But that's not necessarily the vibe you want to be getting when you walk into a place. This place would be better off selling ready-made, takeaway sandwiches rather than masquerading as a restaurant and disappointing us at every turn. Seriously. Not to quote other media in a literal Yelp review, but my expectations were low and I was still let down. The only saving grace of this place was that it was clean and had wifi that was strong enough for me to send this picture of my sandwich to my friends and go "????????". Also there were two very cute dogs outside, although I don't believe they were hired by the restaurant. If you're desperate for food and don't really mind what you're spending money on, then this place is fine. Like I said, at least it's clean and has decent wifi. But I would not waste my time here twice.

The Granary is a great little place right in Portree Square, across from the bus stop, making it a…read moreconvenient place to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Their hours have changed, and do not open for breakfast until between 9-9:30, which can be too late for anyone trying to catch a bus or a tour from the square. We had lunch at The Granary, which was just OK. What we really enjoyed was having a mid-afternoon snack (afternoon tea), as they serve excellent coffee and tea drinks. The cappuccino and chai tea lattes were very good. They have a special drink on the menu that was absolutely decadent- the Hot Chocolate Royale! A case of pies, cakes, and treats is made fresh daily to tempt you, and everything is really good. The only tricky thing is the QR codes are used to place your own order, but if your phone gets poor service, you will have to order at the counter and tell them your table number. No-one told us this, and we had waited for quite a while until we figured it out, as the table service is minimal.

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.
