Dulse And Brose

“We ate around 5pm after the restaurant had opened. All the staff in the restaurant were lovely and in general the food was good. We had the lamb shank which was nice but we also ordered the Sole which was very expensive for what you get… a small fillet. Everything was tasty but would say that there are far better options for good food with a better value for money on the island.”

“Delicious food served in a beautiful restaurant. I loved every bite of the food we had. They change their menu season wise, so do look out for that. We were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. Don’t miss it.”

“Had fantastic dinner. From starter to desert everything was delicious. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Restaurant itself was nicely decorated. Reservation well in advance is recommended.”

“Really disappointing experience. I'd booked this for our final night in Skye, hoping for a dining experience that matched the prices. Service was scant. We saw other tables receive the kind of service I'd expect, with detailed explanation of food, careful attention and engagement. We were sat in a dark corner, given menus and left to our own devices. There was no interaction, no sense that we were anything other than three customers to be processed. We ordered wine which wasn't brought until we asked for it a second time, and well after our main courses arrived. I had to ask for cutlery (no hardship, but not what I'd expect in a restaurant that styles itself as offering "an unforgettable dining experience"). There was a definite sense that the team needed much more support and training to be able to do their jobs. We were compensated for the delayed wine, which was appreciated - but again we had to remind the team that this had been offered. There was no apology from any of the waiting staff, or the restaurant manager - just the bar manager who was exceptionally busy and the only member of the team who had any sense of how to make customers feel welcome. Dulse and Brose need to either improve service or offer a less elevated menu - the prices imply a much better experience than is given. We stayed only because I know restaurants in Portree are hopelessly oversubscribed, but honestly I wish we'd grabbed fish and chips and eaten them on the harbour wall.”

“Ok, but overall underwhelming. The beef burger was genuinely nice, though both of the pies we had were just ok, each served barely warm, with the token pastry lids (nice, crisp and flaky) perched on top. The chicken and leek pie at least was a hearty serve, and the chicken breast was cooked well and broke up nicely to mix with the sauce and vegetables, however there was no real taste to speak of. The Crofter's pie was however disappointing in every way, portion, temperature and flavour. The staff were lovely and polite, though clearly quite busy with a full restaurant. I'd definitely pick something else rather than go again.”
