MacLeod Tables Cafe in Highland

The fab cinnamon buns elevated our coffee stop from great to awesome! Other really yummy cakes are available. Oh, and the vegan tomato pizza swirl looked great too if you fancy a savoury.

After reading about the cafe on the website, we were really looking forward to lunch here. Imagine our disappointment on ordering a baked potato skin and side salad and quiche with same, when we were served with luke warm food and wilted dry green salad. A proper side salad should be absolutely fresh with tomatoes, cucumber, peppers etc. It should look appetising.

This place is truly daylight robbery with disgusting prices to match the below average food. Don’t waste your time by coming here!!

Our visit to the castle was very interesting if a little over priced for entry. We were looking forward to scones, jam and cream from the Tables cafe. The scones were nice but the actual cafe was a major disappointment. Having come from a castle with 800 years of continuous family line, you’d think there would be an effort made to be hospitable and, at the least, have traditional Scottish music! Blaring I’m not sure what music, having to line up for hot drinks (a pot of tea for the cream tea…) then line up separately for the scones and cream (in a plastic container). It’s barn-like set out reminded me of a food hall and I think that’s the impression it was trying to give. I was told the jam was over at the side - also in plastic - but at least the knife was biodegradable. All in all, had I realised I would have spent the money somewhere with atmosphere, comfort and tradition.

Das Café bietet die notwendige Stärkung nach der Besichtigung von Schloss und Garten. Uns haben insbesondere die Quiche und die Torten geschmeckt.

Stupid service. Had to wait 12 minutex for the guy making coffee as he lrepaired teo other cups of coffee. The Americano was as thin as water.

Fairly basic cafeteria at the Dunvegan castle. By early afternoon on a weekday they’d run out of pretty much everything except cheese and onion sandwiches and scones. But there was coffee and the staff were friendly.

Lovely cafe, right adjacent to entrance to Dunvegan Castle and gardens, and very convenient. The food was very good with a nice selection. The room is large and has comfortable seating. The staff were friendly and efficient and you can’t beat a place with a burly guy in a kilt serving you with a friendly smile.

We decided to have a quick bite before visiting Dunvegan Castle. This cafe is conveniently located near the castle grounds entrance/ticket office. We had a very tasty venison salami panini & a smooth, well-made cappuccino.

Stopped in this cafe for a bite to eat after visiting the castle. Great scones and liked the look of the haggis potato skins - will hopefully try these on my next visit. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Enjoyed a very tasty meal here whilst visiting the castle. Staff very friendly and helpful. I very much enjoyed the venison stew and would recommend.

Return visit to this cafe whilst on a walking holiday in the area. Although quite busy service was speedy and plenty of tables available both inside and outside. Staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the venison salami,blue cheese and blackberry salad. Hot options were available and the bacon and highland brie panini seemed very popular.

Located in the car aprk for Dunvegan Castle, the cafe serves good wholesome hearty food for the soul.

Restaurant full of people and car park full of cars and staff putting chairs on the table 15:30pm -and start doing Takeway only and rain outside. Only in Scotland. Customer service below 0.

The food was tasty and great to see gluten free cakes. Customer service was very hit and miss - sometimes they went above and beyond and sometimes staff were quite rude. We appreciate it is short staffed at the moment. Tables not the cleanest but again we know staff are doing the best they can under the current staffing situation.

Stopped here after the coral beach and before heading to the lighthouse. The bread with the soup was really stale but the meat pie was delicious.

Four drinks and snacks with bill for £26.85 was very welcoming. I had the savoury scones which were warmed, always a nice touch. Clean venue, friendly staff too. That's about it really.

Worth visiting - see my review of the Castle for fuller details of our experience of both coffee and a later lunch

This is a handy cafe if you are visiting Dunvegan Castle and Gardens. They offer hot and cold drinks, hot meals, plus a selection of sandwiches and cakes. Plenty of seating, but sadly not dog friendly.

En sortant du château, vous aurez soit faim, soit soif (ou vous pick-niquez, mais alors, vous ne lirez pas cet avis).Self sans prétention et sans intérêt autre que celui de vous satisfaire matériellement. C’est moyen, même le plat spécial du jour qui était des macaronis béchamel cheddar… aucun goût ce qui est dommage pour les amateurs de béchamel ou de cheddar.Prenez un café avec un cake (oui, j’ai même été déçu par le cake) et/ou un plat, mais si vous pouvez aller un peu plus loin, n’hésitez pas trop. J’ai été un peu flemmard sur le coup et je l’assume.

We visited the castle and had a lovely time, thought we’d have a cup of tea and a cake before heading off. Cafe opening hours stated as until 5 and we went in about twenty to. Just drinking our tea (out of takeaway cups, for some reason they didn’t have any proper ones) having eaten our adequate cake when a very rude female member of staff came out and told us that they were about to close and we would have to leave. Two minutes later (not even five o’clock yet) an even ruder male member of staff came out and practically shouted at us to leave immediately. I have never been spoken to like that in a cafe. I do not think it is unreasonable to actually drink and eat what you have purchased in a proportionate amount of time (especially as there was no mention of imminent closure when we were parting with our cash!)Avoid.

Food expensive and due to way cafe was staffed 10 - 15 min before paying so cold food seriously needs improvement. Mentioed to staff answer was what would I do and attitude was not helpful not the way to run business.

Caffè a due passi dell'ingresso del castello. Siamo andati li per la pausa pranzo. I panini sono buoni e anche i dolci

Pratique car situé sur le parking du Dunvegan Castle. Ce n’est pas très grand, bruyant comme une cantine scolaire mais le repas était correct pour un tel lieu. Baked patatoes avec haricots et cheddar, pas inoubliable mais revigorant pour affronter le vent et la pluie...!

Este café está en el parking de la entrada de este castillo. La verdad es que después de estar paseando casi una hora con lluvia y frío por los jardines de palacio un té calentito nos sentó... fenomenal. Los precios no son más caros que en ninguna otra cafetería. También tienen un plato de coliflor con queso y chorizo... que bueno 7,50£ sí me pareció carillo pero era contundente.

Sabíamos que no íbamos a tener la experiencia gastronómica del viaje, pero necesitábamos parar ahí y así lo hicimos. Servicio cómodo y correcto, pero tenían la mitad de lo que ofertaban. No obstante, la patata asada que comí estaba buena.

We went there yesterday, only had a coffee, as the place looked really dirty. It was not very busy, but there was food on the floor everywhere and the tables were fifty. There were 3 very young looking staff behind the counter chatting and drinking tea/ coffee, we still had to wait quite some time to be served.

Sadly this estblishment appears to be aimed at coach loads of tourists brought in by tour operators who don't care about their visitors impresion of local cuisine as long as they get their cash.

This was a very nice place to stop and have a light lunch or snack with a drink while visiting the castle. It was very clean and the staff was courteous. I had a fruit scone with my coffee and was offered clotted cream for my scone for the first time! Glad I accepted. It made it even better! The cafe is clean and the bathrooms are as well. It is suitable for families, couples or singles.

Castello meraviglioso, ma attenzione a quando sostate nell unico punto di ristoro. Le ragazze sono molto scortesi e nonostante avessi chiesto più volte riguardo a come funzionasse il menu al tavolo, nessuno ha saputo rispondermi adeguatamente. Una volta arrivata alla cassa per fare l ultimo tentativo, mentre le mie amiche pagavano, la ragazza , voglio sperare per un problema alla cassa, ha guardato il suo collega sbuffando, di fronte a me. Al che, siccome non voglio essere arrestata in Scozia, anzi che attaccarla al muro, ho preferito dire che era tutto ok, senza prendere nulla. Il ragazzo invece palesemente dispiaciuto, avrebbe voluto fare qualcosa per me, ma non ho accettato. Almeno lui è stato gentile.

This is quite a large cafe with inside and outside seating. Clean toilets. The coffee was amongst the dearest we bought but it has a captive audience. Pleasant and friendly young girl serving.

Hot food always served. That's what the sign says?

We arrived at the end of the day and had missed the best of the cakes. The member of staff who served us was so apologetic and helpful. We had the last scone and the last cookie and both were good, as was the coffee. The cafe was a nice place to rest.

Really nice food, friendly staff, and super convenient when visiting the castle. Cakes are especially good!

Average is about right but then it’s really expensive for that, so go somewhere else. Lots of other places much better

We had toasted Panini's and they were terrible - my husband had cheese and onion which contained dreadful pre-packed cheese slices. The only redeeming feature was the passable cake This could have been so much better

Unfortunately I was not a fan, the young man who served me was very abrupt, not interested in any way in answering a question i had about the food. So just stuck with coffee. Lovely area, clean toilets.

Cafeteria mit der Möglichkeit warme Getränke und Speisen zu sich zu nehmen, vor allem das WC zu besuchen. Gut besucht, das Preisniveau wie überall an touristischen Plätzen etwas teurer.

Very good cappuccinos and scones in a cafeteria-type café across from the entrance to Dunvegan Castle. Overall, good quality but too expensive.

Dit is de enige eetgelegenheid bij Dunvegan Castle, je kunt er dus niet omheen. Dat zie je terug in de prijzen, de prijs kwaliteit verhouding is ver te zoeken. Ik zou een stukje verder rijden.

Self sans prétention mais acceuil sympathique. De quoi déguster un bon "scones" après la visite du château et des jardins.

We tried to visit this cafe whilst on holiday with our puppy who is a trainee assistance dog. As we waited by the door to ask approval prior to entry, a man stomped over and was told in an extremely rude and aggressive manner to leave NOW. We attempted to say that he was an assistance dog in training and before we got to the end of the sentence the man said 'get that dog out now'.

A friend and I went for lunch here, expecting a good, filling lunch. What we got was a £25 bill for what can only be described as a less than mediocre 'lunch'. We had a toastie, coffee and a piece of rocky road each. The toasties were greasy, overfilled with cheese and not very tasty. There are several places nearby where you can get an entire meal and drinks for the same price you'll pay for a less than decent lunch here. Avoid if at all possible. A prime example of making money from tourists who don't know any better.

While the food was good, it was definitely overpriced. I felt as thought we were paying more for the convenience that there was food there and the time of day that we visited. Our food was not bad, just overpriced.

Made a whole morning of our visit tot eh castle and gardens by stopping in for some lunch. Nice selection of soup, salads, potatoes and cakes.

an astonishingly over priced canteen,only there to exploit tourists. nearly 9 GBP for a baked potato, gelatinous and over cooked and a spoonful of tired salad. 1.90 for a tin of coke .There are a good few very good hotels and snack bars in Dunvegan ,spend your money there.

We had a toastie, panini and baked potato, and the merest scraping of a salad with it and all were deemed ok. But pricey: £9 + for a baked potato?? £1.70 for a can? £1.40 for water, and only after you have paid do you discover there’s a free water dispenser. Not impressed. Toilets not overly clean, with paper on the floor. Wish we had taken the trouble to drive elsewhere.

Piccola tavola calda dove comprare qualcosa da mangiare in assenza di altro, l ambiente è pulito, ma tutto abbastanza anonimo, personale un po' lento.

Greasy toastie with melted cheese oozing over a very sad salad garnish.Staff were disinterested and unhelpful and the prices are disgracefully high for the standard they provide.

We called here for a quick breakfast before visiting the castle.delicious bacon rolls and coffee.Really good start to the day.

My wife and I stopped here while on a tour on Skye. We both had a ham, cheese, tomato, and onion on ciabatta and a bag of crisps. It was all OK. Nothing special.

MacLeod Tables Cafe steht direkt am Loch Dunvegan an der westlichen Küste von Skye in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Dunvegan Castle & Gardens.

We ate lunch here during our visit to the nearby castle. The cafe offers soups, spuds, sandwiches and a few hot dishes. I tried the vegetarian curry as it was the only option if you did not a meat sandwich or toastie. It was absolutely terrible. It tasted predominantly of vinegar and was overcooked to oblivion. I could not bring myself to finish it and grabbed a bag of crisps and a shortbread biscuit instead. The shortbread wasn’t very good either, but it was at least edible. My partner had one of the sandwiches made with very cheap bread and ingredients, Extremely pricey for the quality of food. If you are on a budget just bring a sandwich from the Co-op and you will have a better lunch.

We only had a short day in order to see around the castle and little time for a refreshment stop, so the café had to suffice. The choice of soup and roll is usually what we go for and in most Scottish cafes this means a hearty home made soup (most often lentil and ham). Good but not wonderful.

Het etablissement bevindt zich op de parking van het kasteel van Dunvegan. Het is een zelfbedieningstoog. Iedereen nam een ander stuk taart. Ze waren één voor één lekker. Het leken artisanale gebakjes zonder franjes. De notentaart was het lekkerste van de vier ;)

Macleods Tables is in the car park for Dunvegan Castle and is a bright airy modern cafe. The prices are reasonable as is the menu choice. We stopped for tea and cakes and I would recommend the spiced apple & sultana scones which were delicious.

We came here after spending all morning walking around the gardens so were hungry. We both ordered jacket potatoes, hubby had coronation chicken, and I had mozzarella & pesto. They potatoes arrived very quickly and were hot and really soft. They came with side salad which was very basic, lettuce, cucumber, pepper and tomato. They were a little pricey at £7.95, I expected a bit more than basic salad but overall it was very nice, and edible.

On a visit to Dunvegan castle we had something to eat at the cafe. It was cold, no heating on......it was miserable outside. There was very little hot food on......we both ordered the broccoli soup which was tasteless, non seasoned. The bread rolls were the cheap white type. This is one to give a miss.

Although this café is pretty and clean the food options are extremely limited. We ate around 1pm and were extremely disappointed at the lack of options. There was one type of soup and no hot sandwich options. There were premade sandwiches but they had sold out of all except one sandwich that looked like it was stuffed with only shredded supermarket cheese. So I ended up eating a dry scone for lunch. So, if you are planning on visiting Dunvegan castle - have your lunch somewhere else before you arrive because this place is a huge disappointment. I have been at tiny gas stations that have more and better options for food than this place.

After visiting Dunvegan Castle, we had about half an hour before resuming our tour and managed to find a table in this cafeteria opposite the castle entrance. We placed our order, paid upfront, then waited at our table for the food. We had a soup and a toasted cheese sandwich which were filling. The cafe was very busy but the staff were efficient. We got our food in good time and made the deadline for our tour.

Hearty carrot and coriander soup with a crusty roll and butter, soup was definitely made and not out of a can so full marks.

Located near the parking lot for Dunvegan Castle - this is a good place to stop for a sandwich and drink. It is self-service. Prices were reasonable for the location of the restaurant and the fact is serves only tourist trade.

I just stopped by to fill my water bottle and grab a muffin for the road, but the staff was helpful and lovely, and I was served quickly and efficiently.

We stopped here for refreshments before visiting the nearby castle. The seating has amazing views over the coast and the service was friendly and swift. We just had hot drinks and some delicious cake but it was just what was needed before the next part of our days exploring

Clean and tidy. Coffee reasonably priced. Staff friendly and efficient. Toilets available. Near souvenir shop.

Atención a los españoles por el mundo! No entréis aquí,por el amor de Dios!

When visiting Dunvegan castle and gardens it is natural to visit the cafe situated in the car park on the "other" side of the road. The coffee was good and the snacks very acceptable although the place was rather crowded

This small café is good for a short break before or after the Dunvegan Castle visit. It's a simple, clean place but nothing more, nothing less. It can be prefered for a quick grab or coffee, tea but not for a square meal. It's the only place around the castle where you can have drinks or food.

I was with friends, most of whom got to this cafe before 4pm and were sitting with their drinks when I turned up just after 4. A blackboard outside said they were open until 5 but could only serve takeaway drinks after 4. As I was joining my friends I got my coffee and sat down with them. I was then approached by a member of staff who said I had to sit outside. I explained the position, but he was adamant that I could not sit with my friends, but had to sit outside, on my own.

The cafe is located near the parking lot and gift shop at Dunvegan Castle. The food is excellent, friendly service, and the cafe welcomes dogs on leash. There is a water bowl for them just outside the entrance on the deck.

Arrivés à 11h30, le service des plats chauds n'est opérationnel qu'à partir de 12h, donc nous avons pu improviser un déjeuner avec des sandwiches et des chips. Les gâteaux de dessert sont assez bons, notamment le shortbread.

Stopped here for a walk around the castle grounds and called in for a cup of tea. The cheese scones were fresh from the oven and delicious. Worth driving to the Isle of Skye just for that experience. Value for money ? DEFINITELY.

Part of the tour itinerary stopped over at Dunvegan castle and the only F&B; option we had was the Tables cafe. Food is decent but is rather expensive (£7.25 for a toasted sandwich, £4.25 for a small soup). enough to satisfy a hungry tummy, but don't expect any tantalising treats here.

We had a nice simple lunch here during our annual visit to the castle. Reasonably priced and quite tasty for cafe fare. Always a nice experience strolling round the grounds. A trip to see the seals is another joy.

We had eaten lunch, so this was just a tea and cake stop. Decent selection of cakes at reasonable prices, plus speciality teas. It looks as if main meals were quite substantial, but unexceptional.

Very nice lunch after a trip to Dunvegan castle - great for the kids with their child paninnis - quite pricey, but then where isn't..!

Nice cafe, clean and the food is quite nice. Was very disappointed to learn at the till that the fillings for the hot food are charged on top of the advertised base price, and no pricing for the fillings are detailed! Think this is a bit misleading and said so at the point of payment. The staff were adamant that they didn't have to advertise the cost of the fillings. If it wasn't for the missing prices and the staff attitude the rating would have been much higher.

Good enough for a quick bite after a castle visit but as always at tourist attractions expensive for what you get but eaten worse and paid more so average I guess

I had fruit scones and clotted cream, and it was very nice, but most of the food seems to be packaged. Probably the main meals are not. It was pleasant enough sitting there, but they do seem to close early and only have takeaway after 4pm

Caferia style, great food, good service. Good turnover so not difficult to find a table, yet did not feel rushed.

Nice clean cafe but slow service. We got our soup at the servers but had to wait in another line to pay for it so by that time the soup was cold.very basic menu to choose from.

We had been visiting the castle so decided to stop here for lunch. We chose the home-made tomato soup which came with a bread roll. Delicious. Earlier in the week, we had bought some take away sandwiches from the same venue and these were equally delicious.

Came here after a visit to the castle. Reasonable choice of food, pleasant staff and surroundings. Would come again if in the area.

A cup of Tea & a Packet of Crisps each were welcome on a cold wet day. A very helpful staff were there to assist if required

After touring Dunvegan Castle and visiting the adjacent gift shop, we ate in the café. I had the potato and leek soup and BBQ on a toastie. It was so delicious.
