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.

Please book ahead and stop asking the waitress if they have a table while holding the door open - it was a cold and blustery summer evening and she didn't have time for those who can't read the sign which already said "Sorry the restaurant is full tonight!" There is just one waitress and I only saw 2 people working in the kitchen. It would take a while before she could come over to take the order and a while longer for the food to come. We both ordered the squat lobster as starters. It was similar to the crawfish tails but the meat was more tender and sweet. I ordered entree sized scallops that comes with a salad with crispy lardons and purée - they are only available as an appetizer on the menu but the waitress allowed me doubling the size as an entree. The scallops were so sweet and cooked to perfect perfection. It came with butternut squash puree (wished there was more) and crispy lardon, cubed butternut squash and capers salad - wished there were more betterment cubes and less capers as the later made it too salty). Wished I could gave them 4.5 starts! This is the quintessential Skye experience we aimed for! A small local restaurant with locally sourced seafood!

Mostly families with kids and a few guys drinking and playing pool. I ordered at the bar and they told me to pick a table and they'd bring my stuff. I just ordered a glass of wine the Cullen Skink(smoked haddock soup)and chili beef with boiled rice. Cullen skink was creamy and delicious tastes pretty much like clam chowder and it hit the spot for me. chill bead was very flavorful and I enjoyed every bite of that food. Everything was tasted fresh and so good. Servers and the bartender were pretty friendly and helpful. They took credit cards but I still had to get my money changed for the tip because you can't do tips on the card. I was bummed that I didn't eat there he night before. So if you are in the area I highly recommend this place and don't be like me and miss out on the food. Given that there are very limited choices in the area just go there multiple times and order different things. You won't regret it. ;)

The service was outstanding, our servers were everything that we could have hoped for. They explained everything and answered questions about specific items of each course. This is not a Michelin star restaurant and I asked why it is not. The presentation, the creativity and the ambiance are all certainly Michelin adjacent. The server said that they want to be more relaxed and not work for that 'star'. I would certainly not have known the difference. The 8 courses are listed in the menu. It is a fixed menu and fixed price. The choices are to request a wine pairing and coffee/tea at the end. We chose the red wife from Slovakia that was dry and quite nice. It's not possible to describe each of the courses. My favorites were Hebridean haggis-haggis with a turnip espuma(or foam) and buckwheat. The combination of flavors and textures was amazing. The other two dishes I lived were the halibut in a chicken reduction and small veges. It was so fresh and flaky and moist. The Seabuckthorn curd was incredible. That plant does not grow in N.A. the berry was pureed and explained by yogurt ice cream. There 2 small tufts of white chocolate infused work pine oil. I've never tasted something like that dessert. Make a reservation here if you can. The price is £105 from £95 from a review 3 years ago. It's well worth it.

Hopefully some of the staffing challenges they currently face get addressed to provide more consistent service for guests and a less hectic experience for the crew. So, book early, get the trout porridge, the delectable focaccia, some Pommes Anna and fill in the rest with freshest seafood. Happiness will undoubtedly persist from there.

The two problems with the restaurant were they had the heat turned on very high, it was uncomfortably hot and I would honestly rather have been cold. The other problem was they were very short staffed so the meal started out great but our server was invisible toward the end and we sat around for 20 minutes trying to see him so we could leave. Haggis + Paneer Pakora: Great Haggis fusion dish, felt traditional and yet paid homage to some of the new cultures that make up the UK.
