"Harry Potter" Train Interlude -- Just What We Were Looking For…read more We took the early "Harry Potter" Jacobite train to Mallaig with our adult kids and their significant others. Having been to Mallaig previously, we knew there wasn't a lot to do during the turn-around time, and were looking for lunch reservations at a restaurant with a good view that could get us in and out easily in time for the return trip. The serving staff was clearly accustomed to the Harry Potter train crowd, suggested presenting our appetizers and mains together, and easily had us out in time to look around a bit before the train was due to leave. Despite our reservation being at 13:00, we showed up at 12:40 and they seated us. It was not overly crowded. The food was quite good, and the view just what we were looking for.

They pull in fresh seafood constantly and you can tell. They have a set menu, as well as daily specials, but it truly doesn't matter what you order. We tried everyone's dish at our table and they were all 10 stars across the board. The cod with pesto was incredible. It melted in your mouth and even the pesto was clearly homemade. Stunning. The oysters were huge, the lobster was buttery, and the cod with seafood ravioli was incredible. The sauces, toppings and proteins were all cooked to perfection in addition to the quality of seafood being the best in the world. Each entree is about $20, which is more than worth it for the perfection of a meal you'll receive. Be sure to book your reservation weeks in advance -- it's known that this place rocks!

Since Mallaig is…read moreknown for its fish and chips, we looked for a good place to get takeaway and The Cabin has the highest reviews! The place was packed for both dine in and takeout. Service was a little slow. We got the haddock and the langoustines. The haddock was excellent! Very thinly breaded so it didn't seem like the fried fish was bready and no fish. The haddock flavor itself was so fresh and yummy! The chips were good when warm but got soggy and papery after they got cold. We were not fans of langoustines as it was hard to eat them as a takeaway and compared to the haddock, their flavors were a little bland. Having said this, if you want fried fish and chips in Mallaig, The Cabin is the place to come to!

The sticky toffee pudding was slightly on the sweet side, but still very enjoyable. You have to order either 2 or 3 courses and the price for 2 courses is GBP 35.50. My only reason for giving 4 stars is that I thought it was a bit pricey for the portion sizes. The staff are super friendly, especially the one guy who appeared to be the manager. He was very attentive and made sure I was enjoying my meal. The interior is very nicely decorated with some Scottish-themed decor and plenty of natural light. The restaurant is conveniently located in the center of the town. I know it can get quite busy, but I was fortunate to come for dinner just before 7pm and find a table with no wait. Overall, despite the price, I was very happy with my meal at Cuchullin and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice dinner in Portree.

Service not the best (for such a top establishment). Not attentive. Even worse, no apologies when there was plastic in the dish! That is a major fail to be honest.

Again no apology but when she came back with a revised bill she quietly took the charge off (so that dish was free). Fine but why such bad handling of this whole incident?

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.

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!
