Note that because Portree is a tourist town, prices are higher here for most beverages than elsewhere in Scotland (around £4.50, vs. £3.75 for a pint of beer or a single shot of malt whisky). Interior is charming and pleasant; one can imagine sitting near one of the two cast iron stoves at each end of the room, warming up after coming in from one of the winter storms that rock Skye in the off season. And even if it's filled with tourists playing on their phones, it's still nice!

Not so at Isles Inn...a more casual environment with a separate bar/pub area and dining room. Reservations not taken, but there might be a wait to be seated. We went twice, actually on the same night...once for dinner (about a 20-minute wait for a table), and a second time back later for dessert, where we offered to eat our cranachan standing in the bar, but by the time it was ready, they offered us an available table back in the dining room. They're nice people here, and the food is good enough. They've got a vegan dish of the day. (I'm a vegetarian) On this night it was a smoky bean casserole...I opted for the vegetarian burger, which came with tomato relish, Monterey Jack cheese, chips (a.k.a. fries) and a salad. It was basic but filled me up. The vegan patty on the burger was a good "meaty" style patty a-la Beyond or Impossible. (As opposed to a black bean or grain-based vegetable patty.) The cheese kind of disappeared into the burger when cooked. The fries were really good! This place was packed both times we were there...the second time, musicians were setting up in the pub area. (Though we were finished before they started.) They used to have a fried halloumi cheese on the menu which would have been akin to a sort of vegetarian version of fish and chips. Emailed them in advance and they said the chef would have been willing to make it for me if I'd wanted it. (Again I'm a vegetarian but the fish and chips I saw at another table looked really good.) This may have been the only spot in town we could get into without a reservation. It was a good experience.

Wish I had tried some of the local brews instead of Guinness. Service was good.

The fish was flaky but not dry and the batter was perfect. I'm not a fan of mushy peas, but theirs had a touch of mint blended in and I have been craving them since. We had a bit of a wait, our fault for not making reservations on a rainy Sunday evening but I would wait twice as long if needed. The food is worth it.

This review is for the Antlers Bar and Grill inside the Portree Hotel…read more We made a reservation about a month in advance, which was good because they were packed. (Sept '26) Fortunately, they allowed us to move our reservation up by almost two hours due to unforeseen circumstances on our part. We first asked one employee if we could do this and they said no, however another one who I believe was more senior kindly moved the reservation up. Thank you. :) Prior to the meal, we enjoyed an afternoon cup of tea and cake which went down well on a wet and windy day. For the main meal, we enjoyed salmon on garlic spinach with a side order of (fancy) carrots. The restaurant is nicely decorated. The only downside was we had to vacate our 'tea and cake' table and wait in the lobby for 20 minutes while they prepared for dinner service, only to return to the same table. A little on the pricey side, especially since the fish didn't come with much and we ordered a side of carrots. (They were fancy carrots). :) We mulled over the dessert menu, but it wasn't that lengthy and we decided to skip it. Staff are adequate, not gushingly friendly, but then we didn't find that anywhere in Scotland. We parked in a nearby 'pay' lot and walked to the restaurant. Helpful?

Don't waste your time. Not worth waiting around for (actually, it wouldn't be worth it if we'd been…read moreseated immediately). Poorly executed food and a clueless server had us just ready to get out the door by the time we were done. They do not take reservations, so we waited about an hour for what looked to be an attractive place with appealing dishes. Not so. Things started off ok with baked Camembert, as well as steamed mussels. Not bad. The main courses though were disastrous. A venison burger that was so dry it was hardly edible. Venison is of course very lean, and Caroy House did nothing to try to juice it up or preserve flavor. Just a very generous, double patty portion of super dry venison. The regular beef burger was about the same - very overcooked and without flavor. I had the flatiron steak, and it came with loads of mushrooms, sauce, salad and fries. I ordered the steak medium and it came out almost rare. I rarely (har har) send food back, but this was way under the desired temperature. The worst part was trying to get our waitress' attention, her waving us off (when we finally did get it), forgetting things, and then acting as if she hadn't really missed getting us what we needed. Plus an oh-so-long wait for everything. Poor service, poor execution. Bad food. Like I said, don't wait for it.

The food and flavors are from the Highlands and Skye and I loved their placement, its a map of Skye and some of the food produced in that region. The chef is a young man and I saw him coming out of the the busy kitchen a couple times to take a break. He shook my hand when he asked what Whisky I was drinking and I told him a Gelnfidditch 18. 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. Slow Braised Lamb Shank: Rosemary Infused Mashed Potato and Roasted Root Vegetable. Very tender and delicious, our whole family shared this even though it started off as just my wifes dinner. Sole Veronique: Potatoes, spinach, and a cream sauce. Tasted OK but I thought the sauce was too heavy for the light fish it was on. If you go across the street from the restaurant and look down you can see the iconic row of different colored houses that a lot of people were taking pictures of.

For dessert we shared a sticky toffee pudding. The dessert might be a lot for one person but it's always best to share. The service was pleasant and immediate.

Not long after, our food was delivered. The soup in a large crock with a crusty roll and the burger looked delish. We were most certainly hungry too, since we ate with relish and rarely spoke. We opted to get dessert here, and chose the Sticky Toffee pudding..
