Customer Review Summary
Diners single out the curried mussel mille feuille and crème brûlée as standouts, with local beer and oysters also praised. Walk ins are welcome since reservations aren't taken, and several mention prompt, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. One reviewer, however, found the steak raw and the food under-salted, though the oysters were still good.

“One of the great places to eat on the Isle of Skye. It's definitely worth the wait to get a table. Unless you dine earlier than 7pm. Food is delicious!!”

“Three of us had dinner at Cuchullin and we enjoyed both the food and the service. Reservations are not taken, but as we were staying at the owners’ rental property for a couple of days, we were kindly “saved seats”. I LOVED the curried mussel mille feuille and my husband and son had fried calamari and chowder, which were also eaten quickly (and were very good). We had 3 different mains - salmon, hake, and steak. All were cooked perfectly to our liking. The greens which accompanied were crisp soft and nothing was overly seasoned. My son had the crème brûlée and seeing as he was not pleased that I took a spoonful, you know it was delicious. The service was also friendly and attentive. Kudos to the Cuchullin team.”

“Not worth money. Steak was raw and noy enough salt in any food. Luckily oysters were good.”

“Delicious Food, super friendly and nice service and good atmosphere. We came early and got a nice table on the side, so our dog had enough space and could relax. They just do walk ins, which was perfect for us because we didn‘t know how long our hiking trip before would take.”
