The Lower Deck

The Lower Deck
3.9 / 5 (14064 reviews)

Description

Nestled by the picturesque Portree harbor, this charming seafood restaurant is a hidden gem that captivates diners with its delicious offerings and friendly service. While the venue can be busy, often requiring a wait, the culinary experience is reportedly worth it. Though the fish and chips drew mixed reviews—with some describing them as dry and underwhelming—other dishes like fish pie and pan-seared scallops earned high praise for their flavor and quality. The cozy atmosphere and attentive staff enhance the experience, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors alike, despite cash-only payment and modest seating.

Having been regular takeaway goers for 8 year, we can comfortably say this is the best fish and chip shop on Skye! We generally don't eat fish now, however we allow ourselves one fish supper a year and it's always here! The batter is crispy...
