So many options

We were in Skye for a long weekend and we ate here everyday. The food is delicious, portions are generous and the staff are lovely. The menu changes daily and there are always a couple vegan options.

Pros: New options every day

Limited options but good

The menu changes often and nothing was marked vegan but the waitress checked with the kitchen and a burrito and burger could be done vegan. The burrito was nice and the burger was really good. It’s a nice place to sit with good views but there can be a queue at lunch time

Lovely cafe and friendly stuff

We arrived here not knowing whether there will be vegan options (my partner isn’t vegan).

The place was clean and the stuff really polite. The offered me beans on toast with vegan butter which was really tasty.

There might not always be vegan options but the stuff is more than happy to help. They knew exactly what ingredients were and weren’t vegan.

I would highly recommend this place to vegetarians/ vegans that are happy with something simple.

I’d love to leave 5* if happy cow allowed.

Thanks

Pros: Clean 🧼 , Friendly and polite stuff , Good portion sizes

Cons: No obvious vegan options on the menu, No vegan cakes

Very lively

The café is sitting just above the harbour and benefits from a great view. There were several vegetarian options that they could make vegan, and both soups of the day were vegan too. They also have non dairy milk for your latte.

Pros: Great view, Good food

Cons: Quite noisy

**Daily changing menu**

•they only use *vegan* mayonnaise here, so coleslaw that comes with dishes is vegan friendly.
Chefs + Staff are fully aware and accomodating of what vegan is (2 or more of their staff are vegan themselves)
•there are ALWAYS at least 4 veggie options
°Always a veggie burger which 99% of the time is vegan friendly.
°always 2 soups, at least one if not both will be veggie and usually vegan
°two lunch meals are Always veggie. At least one will be good for vegan, usually both can be made vegan.
•they don't label things on the menu (for allergy reasons) so make sure to ASK! Staff can let you know what's good.

((Veggie sausages on breakfast are Quorn... not vegan. They only serve square meat sausages, no link, so if it's sausage shaped it's definitely veggie))

•only have soy milk, but if you bring y.o. oatlybarrista, they'll use it

Pros: Usually multiple vegan options, ALWAYS at least 4 veggie options

Just fine

The menu doesn't disclose if any plate is vegetarian or vegan so I had to guess the ingredients. The soup of the day was courgette with tarragon, super tasty!! I was advised that was 100% vegan but I'm not sure as I asked if other plates could be veganised and I still got colslaw as a side (not vegan). I ordered veggie fajitas without cheese and sour cream but was a bit dissapointed as there wasn't any tortilla or wrap, simply a jackfruit stew with tomatoes and peppers. I think they did put extra slices of peppers on the side to compensate for the cheese/sour cream. If you are desesperate for food I would go, otherwise not the best place.

Pros: Vegetarian options, Affordable, Location

Cons: Lack of knowledge about veganism, Not real vegan options, only vegetarian dishes that can be "veganised"

Vice vibe, few vegan options

Lovely place, staff were amazing but they need more vegan options. All the vegetarian meals seemed to be loaded with cheese so could be made vegan. I built my own vegan brekkie which was nice enough but nothing to rave about.

Pros: Great space, Great staff

Cons: Few vegan options

Very medium

Cafe itself is looking good and staff is super friendly but lentil burger was too moist and potato bake was... Swimming in watery sauce.
Chips 🍟 were OK though.

Pros: Couple of veggie options. Not vegan

Cons: Mediocre food for such price

Just ok

Some vegan options. A nice place, nothing more. If your'e in Portree and can't cook for yourself, it's worth to stop there. There's an option to take a "small breakfast" where you can take a number of items from the regular breakfast and take vegan sausages. Also ate a salad which was good. I remember they also had a vegan burger. No vegan cakes.

Cons: No vegan cakes

Tasty food

We had the French toast as vegan option with a mushroom filling. It was delicious. However the menu had no vegan options marked. The staff was very friendly and showed us vegan alternatives we could have :-)

Pros: Friendly staff, Delicious food

Cons: No vegan labels on the menu

Vegan kán

Geen vegan op de kaart, maar serveerster begreep het meteen. Pasta werd vervangen door rijst. Een heerlijke schotel met geroosterde pompoen, rode biet en walnoten in tomatensaus en daarbij verse sla was het resultaat. Leuke atmosfeer.

Amazing flavor

Ordered the hummus and salad with stuffed pepper special. They omitted the feta and replaced with a vegan feta. They said their burger buns are not vegan, so I didn't order the veggie burger. Im glad I didn't because my salad was amazing and the hummus was also great. They gave more food than I could eat!

Cons: Not a lot of vegan options

Decent option in a not very vegan-friendly place

The staff are knowledgeable about veganism and willing to veganise many vegetarian options on the menu, although this generally means just taking away the non-vegan parts or substituting hummus for cheese. It would be great if they could start labelling vegan options on their menu or make more of an effort by getting in some vegan cheese to substitute in. However, in a town with very few vegan options this is a decent place to get a bite to eat.

Delicious

The staff is very friendly and it is no problem to veganize some of the vegetarian offers. Would definitely recommend!

Pros: Friendly staff, Know the difference between vegan and vegetarian

Cons: Not many seating space, Wouldn‘t recommend the toilets

Cute place

Cute place with nice vegetarian options. I was vegetarian, not vegan when I went there. They may have vegan as well. Even if not, I would not hesitate to ask their friendly staff. Limited hours in winter.

There are not many options if you are a vegan in Portree... This restaurant is the best choice!

Pros: nice location, nice staff, good food

Cons: waited in queue for the table (sunday lunch)

Limited vegan options

We visited the cafe today and the only vegan option was the mezze plate. They had to substitute tortilla chips for the flatbread on the plate as the flatbread was not vegan. The humous and falafel were yummy, but we felt like we could get those most places. We had dinner the night before at a local pub (The Isle), and that had three vegan options on the menu.

Friendly Place with a great view (if you get the window seat)

Warm and friendly, to people and dogs. Soy milk is available for hot drinks. We got a couple of vegan breakfast, a fry up for me and a bagel with jam for the other half. Lunch/dinner menu changes daily. Had the chilli on one visit, lovely hearty stuff.

Pros: Friendly service , Dogs get own bowls of water

Cons: Menu changes so you can't be sure of what you'll g

Omni cafe with one vegan choice

On the day we visited there was one vegan choice and a couple of veggie ones on the board. The vegan choice (satay veg wrap) was quite basic but nice. The spicy chips are good.

Staff were friendly and service good. Beware it is quite a small cafe and gets very busy so you might have to queue if it's raining outside!

Pros: Vegan option, Friendly staff, Quick service even though busy

Cons: More vegan options would be good, Might have to queue for a table

Very Average

Nice vibe, decor and friendly staff. However, The food was very average. On this day, they had a Lentil Curry Pot and it was completely tasteless and watered down. My boyfriend had about 4 mouthfuls and decided he couldn't eat anymore. I ordered the falafels, which had a good crunch, but again an average taste and I felt quite nauseous for the rest of the day. The veggie haggis was okay, but we had a spectacular one else where, so it to was a bit of a let down.

It did have wifi, so that was helpful, but I probably wouldn't eat here again.

nice café

We only took a soy latte and cappuccino with soymilk here because they did not have any vegan treats but the coffee tasted very good. The surface of the table feld greasy and I did not find the staff very friendly. They told that with lunch they have vegan choices but that card was not yet on the table only the breakfast menu with a vegetarian breakfast on it.

Pros: good coffee with soy milk

Cons: greasy surfaces

Nice place, limited vegan options

I went there for dinner. Unfortunately, that day they only had one vegan main dish (which was a curry, so not very original since you can find an Indian restaurant nearly everywhere in the UK). They were actually very sorry about this and said they usually have more options. Anyway, the curry was good, so I left well feed and content.
