Reviews The View Restaurant

Server was nice. Got the isle of Skye venison. The meat Was well cooked and well seasoned. The rest of the dish could’ve been more flavorful and seasoned. Also came out kind of cold. Dessert was sticky toffee pudding which was very good! Warm and not too sweet! Very well baked.

Reservation required. Wonderful upscale dinner in Portree with vegan options, with a lovely view of the water and the colorful houses down below. I had a delicious vegan sweet potato steak type dish and it was beaitully prepared and very flavorful! A fantastic option to end the day and they understood vegan options very well.

Service was friendly. Slightly on the slow side, but not as slow as some others have suggested in their reviews. Food was quite tasty, and for the price it was overall a decent lunch.

Absolute perfection in service, atmosphere, dining and comfort. The view is the Chantilly cream on top! Note to pedestrians: The hotel and restaurant are atop a fairly rigorous grade, so this isn’t easily walkable for some.

My wife and I had dinner at The View on our last night in Portree - it did not disappoint. We were seated at a great table by the window so had a view over the harbour and with the hills behind. Service was great, really friendly staff who were very attentive. Food was delicious, all the way through the starters (mussels and cullen skink), mains (langoustines and venison) and dessert. Rounded it out with a Lagavulin 16. Would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a classy meal in Portree. We'd definitely go back if we are up those ways again!

Location is just outstanding, with an incredible view on Portree. The food is good and well cooked, but honestly it should serve slightly bigger portions (the one we received were more in line with the one served during a 6/ 9 courses menu). Service is ok, not perfect though. Surely recommended.

I want to give The View 5 stars. The atmosphere and amazing view right away set the tone for a beautiful spot. We were staying at the hotel attached and ended up eating here on two separate occasions. Both times the food was very good, however you could tell that there was a slight drop in quality on the second evening. I expect that consistency across chefs may not be there yet. Additionally, the service although very kind folks can be pretty slow and inattentive. Be prepared to wait a bit for menu items or requests. If you can get over that part, the view and food quality are writhing your time. Had the Sticky Toffee Pudding on our last night in Portree - one of the best things I have ever eaten.
