The best restaurants in Eilean a' Chèo Highland Highlands and Islands

If like us you enjoy seafood the chef Michael Smith takes it to another level. The dining room is small and the service is excellent. Location following a drive along the single track road (care needed in the dark to avoid wandering sheep and deer) is excellent with easy parking. We received a warm welcome and were shown to our table by the window which gave us plenty of space. The menu is set so all diners receive the same five courses but arrival times are staggered so this works well. All in all the evening was pretty perfect and when we return to Skye another visit is in order.

Nestled in an unassuming little hut on the Isle of Skye, Chidakasha offers a dining experience unlike any other. This hidden gem provides a tranquil escape with its calming atmosphere and focus on vibrant, seasonal flavors. The unique tea pairings, expertly matched to each dish, elevate the culinary journey and add a delightful touch to this already exceptional experience. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a sense of serenity, allowing you to truly savor the exquisite vegetarian cuisine. Chidakasha is a must-visit for those seeking a truly memorable and unique dining experience on Skye.

Of course it was wonderful to be greeted by Max, the guard dog! Nice atmosphere for drinks, and to learn a little about the area. Book ahead for dinner there - it gets great reviews, and many people were trying to get a table with no success. It will be on our list for next time!

Quaint hotel in a quiet area. We were welcomed by Allan who was fantastic! Our room was stellar. Great bed with luxurious bathroom. Breakfast was included and delicious also! The only point I would let others know is during off seasons be prepared and eat dinner before arriving or plan to drive 20 mins after checking in to get food as the restaurant will only offer a “tastings” menu that is a bit in the high side and is bougy food. So, if you’re looking for some good pub food, this is not the place. Overall, excellent place to be, stay and get a good rest. You will be welcomed! Thank you Allan!

We stayed at Taigh Ailean for our trip to Skye. We also had the opportunity to eat dinner there (Breakfast was included with our stay.) The dinner was so delicious! The view is lovely as you can see the loch from the windows of the bar. All the staff is fantastic and so friendly! I had a great dinner and I would describe it, but the menu changes to suit what is in season and available from the sea. Whatever you get, I guarantee it will be the best! Make sure you call ahead and get a reservation as it fills up quickly. I know that they also have live music, which would be great, but we didn't have any while we were there.

Best garlic bread we've ever had! Super friendly guy working there. Great pizza! Prices are very fair. Highly recommend!

The cakes, biscuits, slices are mouth-watering. A lot of vegan options as well.. I was just disappointed that I couldn't plonk myself down and try one of everything! The staff are so lovely.

Nine of us and a dog descended on the Coffee Bothy after completing the nearby parkrun and were welcomed warmly. They made a space for us to squeeze in to an already busy space and were very friendly along with their lovely Spaniel. The food and coffee was lovely as was the company.

Sehr sympathisches kleines Restaurant, geführt von jungen, motivierten Leuten. Schöne Speisekarte mit kreativen Gerichten. Angenehme Atmosphäre. Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Leider nur kurze Öffnungszeiten.

Great coffee and bakery in a lovely shop. After a stop at the Oyster Shed grab a coffee, sit and enjoy! (The limit is 100!!!)

Grande Salvatore, orgoglio italiano in terra scozzese!! Ottimo tutto! Nomi irripetibili dei piatti che sono stati veramente ben eseguiti ed equilibrati. Ci siamo sentiti orgogliosi nel vedere l’impegno di tutto lo staff nel farci sentire speciali….bravi bravi bravi!

What a fantastic find on Skye. We called in for a coffee in the morning, which was very good. After exploring the area for a few hours, beyond the cafe, I suggested to my husband we call in for a bite for lunch as there was not much else open between this place, and going to the Nest Lighthouse. We enjoyed the Quiche and salad, and a delicious piece of home baked slide. A delightful setting and with the sunny day, it was fabulous to sit outside the Yurt and in the garden, enjoying the scenery. Fabulous, friendly service too, and value for money, i.e. not expecting save for the coffee, slices or meal.

A lovely little stop for coffee and cake. Simple, quirky. I did feel it was pretty overpriced but a great wee scenic stop all the same.

Quick stop by for a lunch break, had the Langoustines , delicious and very very fresh, fair prices,quick service what’s more to want?

Had a lovely lunch today in Raasay from this wee hidden gem. Lovely piping hot soup, toasties, ice cream, coffee and cakes.
