Dining Ideas-Isle of Skye

Posted by on

Hi...2 food related questions for an upcoming visit to Isle of Skye.

One day we will spend driving the Trotternish Peninsula and doing some hikes/walks. Any recommended quick stops for lunch along the route, or would packing a picnic/sandwiches be more practical? One option I noted was 1400 Columbia.

For one of our dinners, we were considering The Old Inn (Carbost) or Edinbane Inn. We would enjoy a moderately priced spot that gives the flavor of Skye (in atmosphere and food).

Appreciate any ideas!

The Hungry Gull is a wonderful lunch spot in Staffin. It's located in the Village Hall/Community Centre and will be on your left driving north from the Old Man of Storr. Columba 1400 is also good, but I like the Hungry Gull better.

The Old Inn in Carbost would be my choice ahead of the Edinbane Inn, but it really depends where you are staying as both are decent. Another option if you're staying in Portree would be Gasta at the LAS Cinema/Skye Candles Visitor Centre. Excellent pizzas with unusual toppings. Definitely a place that locals frequent.
