Caora Dhubh is a great little coffee shop right across the street from Talisker Distillery. We went…read morehere a few times during our stay in the area. It's certainly the best coffee around, and would hold its own in any major city. The owners are super friendly, and know what they're doing. They've got artisan beans from Edinburgh, a La Marzocco espresso machine, the works. They serve some desserts and chocolates as well. And there are toilets around the corner of the building. There's no seating inside, but there is a bench outside, and plenty of places to sit within walking distance. I really have nothing bad to say about the place. So if you're looking for some decent coffee (I know my wife was after a few days out here on Skye), this is your place!

Snag a table by the window if you can. The decor is super cute! Lots of little hanging items, they have a spoon chandelier and some glass pieces as a mobile. They also have cute little cows for salt and pepper shakers. Cups are adorable too, overall this place stands out for atmosphere and coffee The staff comes over to the table to take your order. I have to say the coffee here is outstanding, they also have different daily specials here on the blackboard and they do have pastries that you can grab and go. They also have free wifi. You do have to go to the counter and pay once you're done The full breakfast was just ok and the scotch pie the same- the food was good but I wouldnt say great. It is fresh and filling, no matter! This place is a great option in Portree.

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.

We walked from our accommodations in town, and it was a lovely little walk on a pleasant autumn day after hiking up to Storr and down to An Corran beach. It was getting awfully close to closing time for them, so I was a bit concerned they might not have much selection, but they absolutely did. We picked up two packets of shortbread and a spicy sweet potato hand pie thing, which we devoured most of on the walk back to our place. We finished the rest of it alongside some other snacks acquired from the Co-op for a very pleasant dinner. It was affordable and the items were well-made.
