    Haggis Pakora, nice Indian and Scottish fusion
    Jay P.

    So happy we got reservations here, they are reservation only and Portree is small so a lot of people got turned away. 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.

    Counter in back to order from.

    Passed thru town today on our tour and our local guide said this place had the best pies - we ordered the beef & ale and the goat cheese spinach ... both were great. We also split a bowl of the Cullen skink which was also very good.

    Smoked salmon appetizer, mussels
    Alyson W.

    Enjoyed our visit to Dulse and Brose, the restaurant in the Bosville hotel. The staff were friendly, polite, and prompt. I appreciated that the server gave my husband a whiskey recommendation as he is new to whiskey. A sweet ambiance - I liked the flowers on the tables and the paper placemats with maps of Skye. I ordered the mussels which were divine, and large for an appetizer, and the smoked salmon appetizer. My husband had the salmon, which was on the small side but came with a cream sauce in a little pitcher to pour over. I would recommend this cozy spot. As others have mentioned, ensure that you have a reservation as they do get booked out.

    Nice restaurant in Portree. Small and quaint. Menu isn't anything outrageous which is nice, makes it easier to pick from. We ordered the venison loin, Shepard pie, and mussels. All very good. Venison was very tender. Unique take on Shepards pie as well. The place only has beer, wine, and spirits, no cocktails, but the bar attached can make you an after dinner cocktail. Bar connected is pretty cool too.

    Breakfast menu

    Tough time of year to get reservations in Portree, but as hotel guests, they squeezed us in. (Restaurant is located inside the hotel) Good menu and some excellent cocktails courtesy of The Merchant, the pub next door. The Sole Meunière was excellent and left nothing to be desired. The burger was hearty and the fries were as expected, meaning hot, crispy and fresh. The beet slaw was disappointing and flavourless. Dessert was available, but we skipped it based solely on having had large meals earlier in the day. The hotel breakfast was also prepaid here and their selection was excellent. Service for the 3 meals was timely and friendly. Fully recommend!

    We ate dinner at this restaurant and it was packed with people, primarily Americans. It's essential that you have reservations. They were turning away people who showed up without reservations. Parking is difficult but not impossible to find. Inside, the restaurant is modern. We were greeted by a waiter and shown to a table. I ordered the lamb burger and my wife ordered the wester ross salmon filet. Our meals came in around 15 minutes and looked great. The burger came with chips and a small serving of special cole slaw. The salmon was served on a bed of mashed potatoes and kale, and then topped with Hollandaise sauce. We felt both meals were excellent. We would recommend this restaurant. Just be sure to make reservations weeks in advance.

    Stellar seafood restaurant with great views of Portree. Seafood is super fresh and comes in many forms. The seafood platter is the best seller menu item, and I can completely understand why. You get about 6 different types of seafood in portions of 2 which are generous and delicious to eat with their artisan bread. They also have rotating seasonal specials, all of which are fresh and unique to establishment. Almost all of the food is locally sourced within the area. Services is also great and seating is abundant. Reservations here are must, especially because of the accommodations frequent here for all meals. I will definitely be back here again when I am in the area.

    The yummiest shrimp risotto. GF!

    Our food was absolutely amazing here the two nights we ate here. We had the best meals and drinks. I will say, the service was a bit lackluster especially the first night. Unfortunately I think they are understaffed and it took forever for us to actually order, get drinks, & get food. Despite the service, we did have great food and the atmosphere is really nice! They were also super accommodating for my gluten free (celiac disease) diet! Which I was very grateful for. I highly suggest eating here if you're staying in Portree!

    Raspberry tart with ice cream and custard
    Logan B.

    We were there for dinner and are extremely happy that we did. The service was wonderful; John our waiter was both knowledgeable about the food and very entertaining as well. Speaking of food, every course was fantastic. We had Cream of Cauliflower soup and they had to be the creamiest soup I've ever had in my life, it was like it had been whipped! for our main, Soy glazed chicken and then an extremely flavorful raspberry tart for dessert.

    Pinot Grigio
    Laura C.

    This was one of the best, if not the best, meals I've had in my life. The smokiness of the added was a perfect balance to the mild white fish. The pinot grigio was the perfect complement. The orange and vanilla pannacotta was creamy and the locally sourced berries were heavenly. This place has great, attentive and friendly staff.

    Amazing local seafood! Me and my husband made reservations here while on vacation on the island. We were a little early so we got a drink and the bar next door while they figured out our reservation. The restaurant was cozy and the service was okay for how short staffed they seemed. We ordered the seafood platter from the starter menu and were blown away! The platter included the most amazing smoked mussels, two kinds of salmon, smoked scallops, herring, and shrimp. Everything tasted so fresh and we loved the flavors. The board also came with delicious bread and fresh butter. For a main we opted to share the pork schnitzel after feasting on the seafood and it was quite good. The pork was fried well but still very tender and paired well with the goat cheese and beet salad. We also ordered the chocolate toffee cake for dessert which was amazing and came with a scoop of ice cream. Overall some of the best seafood I've had.

    We were super lucky to get a reservation for the same night. They are shorthanded and a little slow but the ambience is great. The waiters were super nice guys. And the food was amazing. We got the seafood platter appetizer and it was huge. Everything on it was really good. We were full after that and we still had food coming. I had the sweet potato tagine which was good even though I was already stuffed. And my husband had fish and chips, which was giant! I couldn't resist a dessert menu, and even though I was ready to pop I had an amazing dessert. We also loved their drinks.

    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.

    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.

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.
