Blas Skye - Highland

We visited Blas Skye for Sunday Lunch and were greeted warmly by Brooke as soon as we arrived. She also gave us recommendations for places to visit on Skye. The service was excellent and Chef Stevie prepared a delicious meal for us. The owner, Joan, was also very kind and helpful. Blas has a welcoming and laid-back atmosphere with beautiful views. There is a carpark located just 2 minutes away.

We stopped for lunch on our way to Neist Point. It was difficult to find any open restaurants at this time of year. The staff was very friendly, and the cafe was cozy with a nice log burner. We tried the delicious homemade soup and a small cake. Overall, it was a very nice little cafe.

It was busy. We had a reservation but that was somehow forgotten. But no problem we got seated. Few items weren’t available anymore. But they told up front. The guy behind the counter started for the first time. He was a bit hectic but did his job well. We ordered soup of the day with an extra bread roll And butter curl. And fish and chips. Portion size was decent. The soup was tasty. Pricing was Ok. Nothing special. Just ok for a bite. Don’t expect culinary excellence, but just decent food.

Friendly person took our orders, and was great with refills on beer. But after my third beer, my mom falling asleep at the table, and my dads low blood sugar making him see red….we saw our food get delivered to table beside us. We asked what was going on, please give us the food we ordered an hour ago. Those people sat down 15 minutes ago. Simple to do, just don’t set it in front of them and set it down in front of us. Nope. They took all the food to the back, chatted for 5 minutes, came back out and gave it to them. Our order was lost in the back of house. You clearly knew you f’ed when you brought the food to the back of house, and decided to double down on it. That’s a bit of a mind blowing decision. So I paid full price for our drinks , and we walked out. Shame.

Seemed like a nice place when we walked in. Until we heard the owner/manager ‘telling off’ a member of staff. It was clearly heard by other customers as their conversations went quiet. Not a professional or respectful way to speak to your staff. Furthermore, the fish and chips were standard and the batter greasy. On the plus side, the young gentleman who came back to our table with extra tomato sauce, was very polite and friendly.
