Co-Operative
Woodlands road on the a87 out of skye towards uig tel: 01478 612483. portree's only large supermarket is - luckily - one of this large chain with a wide range, including excellent organic, fairtrade and ethically sourced produce. there is also a co-op in broadford, with a 'gulf' petrol station attatched to it.
Portree Butchers
Wentworth street, tel: 01478 612551.
Midrange
Café Arriba
Quay brae, portree overlooking the harbour. tel: 01478 611830 (http://www.cafearriba.co.uk) a must for any visit to portree. broad and constantly changing menu of mediterranean style snacks and meals, with good coffee and plentiful vegetarian choices. also the perfect spot to sit out a rain shower, with views over the harbour.
Lower Deck Restaurant
On the harbour in portree, tel:01478-613611 specialises in simple, fresh seafood dishes, e.g. fish and chips â£7.50.
The Old Inn
Carbost. tel 01478 640205. (http://www.carbost.f9.co.uk/) adjacent to the bunkhouse and b&b of the same name, take caution from guidebooks that report superb meals and snacks: the professional chef is only employed during the summer season so expect pretty average pub grub between autumn and easter.
Top end
Flodigarry Country House Hotel
Tel:01470-552203 (http://www.flodigarry.co....) was apparently once very good, but now past it: food is unimaginative, overcooked, and poor value at £36/head for three courses and coffee.
Loch Bay Seafood Restaurant
Stein at the end of the loch front road in the village tel.01470-592235 (http://www.lochbay-seafoo...)
The Old School House
Dunvegan, tel. 01470 521421. perhaps the greatest surprise to be found in dunvegan: behind a modest facade sits one of skye's finest restaurants, with a small but confident and ever changing menu of superb dishes. much of the meat and fish is locally sourced, although vegetarians should expect no more than one or two main courses to choose from. mains from â£9 - â£20.
