Uig Cafe - Portree

We were lucky to stumble across this hotel and pub after a busy day of walking about in the highlands. We had late lunch cocktails, soup , salad and seafood, all excellent. Service was excellent, and ambience was light, bright and cosy.

While in Scotland, a traditional Sunday Roast is one treat to splurge for. The Uig Hotel on Skye has a traditional Sunday Roast that is available in two or three courses for a very reasonable price. The Uig is open for Lunch between 12 and 2.45pm. On Sundays, they offer a traditional Sunday lunch with a set menu of 3 starters, roast dinner, a fish dish and a vegetarian option, followed by a choice of 3 desserts for £25. Booking for this is essential. The roast was exceptional! It came with Scottish grass fed beef, roast potatoes, Yorkshire Pudding, and plenty of veggies. It was so savory and filling that we were too full to order dessert. We walked off our dinner by visiting the Fairy Glen which is only a mile up the hill from the Uig. A great way to have a traditional Sunday meal while on vacation.

We stayed at hotel but this is for restaurant 2 nights Dinner. Both nights soup was excellent choice and a refreshing departure from pub food. First night I had the butternut cranberry walnut salad and second had the Trout. Both were excellent but the portions are large if you're also wanting additional courses so consider splitting. Also had the Apple Tart which was very good. My wife had the gnocchi which was different than American flavors but she enjoyed it. Service was friendly ... maybe a bit sluggish ... but they were also quite busy. If you're not already staying at the hotel the view and location is amazing and the restaurant featured local art.

This hotel is on the main road just beore you turn off for fairy glen. Its a good quick stop for lunch and bathrooms (both of which are good! Its a family run business and they are all super invested in the place and running it well. They gave us info, tips and maps to help us on our way. We had stopped off for cheese and wine and they had the best cheese platter of scottish cheeses that I had. I also really enjoyed the wine and G got the scotch since she wasnt driving. They offered us 9 cheeses and I liked their take on the crowdie. We sat in a morning room type of space and they have great views, overlooking lots of green and had our wine while the sun sets. If I'm back in the area, I would probably stay in the hotel. Lots of parking and really great service!

Food and service excellent. Well worth stopping to. Enjoy. Fabulous art in dining area. I highly reccomend it.
