The excitement of getting to Isle of Skye got me to forget about making reservations for dinner. Thanks to the staff of Cuchullin, we were seated as soon as we walked in. Got our orders in - soup of the day, sea food platter, fish and chips, pan seared scallops, and tomato ravioli (for the one vegetarian person in our party). Loved the food, loved the grouse whisky as well. Tiramisu and sticky toffee pudding for dessert hit the spot. The food hit the spot and I knew I would have a great night sleep. Highly recommended!!
I really enjoyed my dishes. I had a mussels bowl as a starter and then I ate a delicious seatrout.
I truly recommend to eat here, even if you may wait a few minutes to be seated.
Had the bang bang chicken for starter followed by the Beef cheek for the main and then finally the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Paired the beef with the Pinot noir. Highly recommend all. Staff were very nice and no problem getting us a seat despite no reservation. If you're in Portree and in need of a good meal, check here out, reasonably priced and worth it.
Came here with two teenagers and hubby for dinner. We were lucky enough to get a table as soon after we arrived a queue formed outside ( just why you cannot book a table in Portree and have to stand in freezing cold outside for an hour is beyond my understanding- I will ensure to eat in different town in future for sure)
I'm not sure if we sat in blind spot but tables around us got served drink and starter whilst we were ignored even to take drink order.. We didn't get a chance to order pudding either as again nobody came. To pay our bill we had to pay at the bar. Staff was very cold and unwelcoming, apart from a one Polish waitress who was unfortunately not taking orders. It felt bit strange inside. There is NO flexibility when ordering for kids, it is two course only as the waiter said.
Food was well presented, well cooked and delivered fast. My daughter got her seafood platter delivered earlier before mains came out, thanks to the Polish waitress. I had mussels and scallops as main and whilst scallops were lovely ( mash could have more flavour please ) I wouldn't consider this as main meal and wished I went for trout hubby had. Flavours were played very safely, perhaps I was expecting too much, perhaps the non existence of service and atmosphere is why it didn't feel special.
Everything was delicious! Bang bang chicken was salad style, served cold. Trout was flavorful. The beef cheek melted in your mouth. Delicious!
We had a very lovely dinning experience at this restaurant. We tried the salmon with the noodles, the burger and the scallop risotto. For me the scallops were the best dish. Really worth the price as the portion was very generous and it was perfectly cooked. We also got the soup of the day, which was with apple and parsley. Very interesting tasting. I added a big of black pepper to balance a bit the sweetness of the apple.
In general this place is ideal for big companies as most of the places in this area do not take reservations for 5+ people. The do work on a first come first serve basis and they are quite busy but we didn’t wait more than 15-20 min in the queue. Worth eating there for sure.
The fish for fish and chips was fresh but it was not cooked as well as the good restaurants in England. The seafood platter is the signature dish and is the best food in the restaurant, as the seafood was very fresh. The burger's bread was slightly over toasted. Service of the staff was great and atmosphere was nice. Quece was long, especially during summer June.
Unfortunately one of the worst experiences I’ve had in Scotland so far. The beef cheeks hardly had any meat but consisted mostly of grease. As I told the waitress, she responded that she was going to let the kitchen know without apologizing. Then, another waitress asked if we wanted the bill although we hadn’t finished the drinks yet and there was still plenty of room left. I can’t recommend it, unfortunately.
