We dined here twice, having made Reservations at the same time we completed the hotel booking. Both times, we were seated at a table by the window with a beautiful view over the bay.
The menu consisted of an amuse-bouche, a starter, a sorbet, a main, and dessert. The rosemary bread we were also served was gorgeous. The butternut squash and pine nuts mini-soup was packed with flavour while my starter, the chicken and duck terrine, was delicious. My boyfriend had the goats cheese and beetroot starter which was light and very appetizing, then opted for the venison main which he (and two other diners) raved about. My main was the risotto with chanterelles and Madeira which I absolutely loved (and ordered again the next time). For dessert, I tried the crème brûlée with blueberry and raspberry. The taste of the fresh fruit with the cream was just perfect - moreish but not too sweet.
We got the feeling that the chef took a lot of pride in his work. At £35 for two courses (£45 for three), we agreed that the price was more than fair given the outstanding dishes and the excellent quality of the local ingredients used. The service was superlative as well, with the staff being very welcoming and attentive. 10/10.

Food is the crowning part of the Kinloch experience. Feeding you well at every opportunity is something we take extremely seriously. Claire Macdonald started the kitchens at Kinloch with a Mission to make the most of the wonderful local produce on offer. Brazilian-Scottish Chef Director Marcello Tully continues Claire’s food ethos today, bringing to it his own influence and experience in some of the world’s finest kitchens.

We stopped here for lunch, out of season, on a wet Tuesday in November. We were made very welcome with aperitifs in the drawing room, four course lunch in the dining room, coffee back in the drawing room afterwards. Venison done sous vide and superbly, as was everything else. An excellent experience, just how we like it, and we shall return. Price wise the lunch was good value at £45, but we felt a glass of champagne was steep at £17.50, if not downright naughty, even though it was Laurent Perrier. Consider revising?

Ate here while staying in Broadford. Had contacted Sia via Facebook to check some ingredients as my husband and I are vegan. They promptly replied to our request. Their pizza bases are vegan and you can build your own pizza. They even had vegan cheese available. We also had the pasta salad and chips along with some beer and wine. The staff were friendly and efficient and the prices were reasonable too.

We had dinner for 2 with very friendly service and good food. I had whitebait with salad, angus beef, celeriac soup and chocolate fondant, all really tasty. The best recommendation goes to the steak that was cooked perfectly medium rare. Cozy bar and good selection of drinks like gins

Ordered a homemade venison burger and other person ordered an open vegetable lasagne. I have tasted a better venison burger bought in Tesco and cooked on the bbq at home. The meat was overcooked and the bun was hard and served on a wooden platter that was small and the burger started falling apart when cutting as the mayonnaise leaked out the sides. It was difficult to eat either with a knife and fork or by hand. I could hardly cut into it and later when I asked for an extra napkin as I was getting in a mess, they gave me a steak knife. The chips had skins on and had no flavour and I only ate one and that was enough.
The other person said the lasagne was okay but the squash was underdone in parts and certainly for the amount of vegetables and sauce it was certainly not value for money.
When I asked for the bill and she could see the meal was mainly uneaten she asked what was wrong, I told her and she did not say anything, I assumed she was going to say something to the chef ort to me, but the next thing another waitress came over and thumped down the bill on the table and walked off saying there is your bill. I did not get an apology or even a complimentary soft drink charge removed as a way of apologising for substandard food, especially at such overinflated prices. The bill came to £34.85 for 2 x lemonades and 1 coke and both main meals. I would have had no problem with this price had the food been of a good standard and flavour. One other thing, the wind had blown a napkin off another table onto the floor when people came in and the waitress just picked it up and put it back on the table. This could cause e-coli or salmonella as Skye is farmland and people coming in and out the restaurant may have shoes with mud and other farm products on the soles of their feet. If she is so unhygienic with this I do hope she washes her hands etc.
Also, the specials board was not easy to read and I was unaware of it at the time of ordering and was not even directed to it, and the room was very hot and stuffy and very noisy and not a place to relax. I normally prefer putting on positive comments but in this case I feel that future diners need to be aware of the poor service (took 45 mins from ordering to get the food) and poor quality of food for the price.

We spotted the Cuillin View cafe and decided to call in for lunch due to its wonderful location. What amused us at first was the list of 'no's' - no coaches, no lunch, no takeaway, no soup, no sandwiches, no ice cream (see photos). So lunch was off the menu then. There was however an extensive list of teas and coffees, plus home made scones and biscuits. Not having a sweet tooth this wasn't for me, so we opted for a tea and coffee whilst contemplating where to eat.
The couple who run the cafe were however very friendly, the service a little slow, but when the drinks arrived they were excellent, the latte came in a huge mug and was one of the nicest I've had in a while.
A lovely place with an interesting and unusual display of teapots hanging from the ceiling. It was a wonderful sunny day and Elgol was very busy, the cafe though very quiet, I did feel that this might have been down to the fact that there was only a very limited choice of food available. Of course that is what the owners opt to serve.

A cosy, wood panelled, well stocked bar with an open log fire to sample a few of our large selection of malt whiskies beside. Enjoy fresh, local produce and seafood landed at our own pier served all day, with the option of enjoying wonderful views on a nice day from our outside Seating.

In Skye for 5 days, ate here for 3 evenings out of them. Well worth it. great atmosphere, cracking home cooked food and great value for money. Only thing that knocks it down is it needs to be bigger. Beer selection is fantastic, staff are brilliant and the service is spot on. Enjoyed every evening, definitely well worth the visit.

Lunch in a shed...who fancies it? Heck yeah! Squeezed our party of 8 into this tiny place. The wonderful proprietor, ably assisted by her young helper, somehow managed to rustle up a delicious lunch, catering to our vegan & gluten free group. To cap it...MoreThanks for the lovely review, so pleased you enjoyed your lunch and Simon's playing.. he's strumming most Sundays.. should you be back our way.
