Welcome to The Cafe at Torabhaig Distillery, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the picturesque Isle of Skye. This delightful cafe not only serves as a perfect pit stop for weary travelers but also complements the exquisite experience of touring the renowned Torabhaig Distillery.

Imagine starting your day with the aroma of freshly baked scones wafting through the air, teasing your senses as you step into a warm and inviting atmosphere. The cafe’s quaint decor and stunning courtyard views create an idyllic backdrop where you can savor each bite while soaking in the breathtaking landscapes of Scotland.

The menu at The Cafe is a testament to the region’s culinary offerings. For lunch, indulge in their Homemade Soup of the Day. It’s simple yet soothing, composed of seasonal ingredients that embody the essence of local flavors. Pair it with a choice of Sandwiches and Toasties—the Brie and Homemade Chilli Jam Toastie is a standout with its rich flavors and a fantastic hint of sweetness, while the Vegetarian Haggis is a delightful tribute to Scotland’s hearty dishes, served alongside homemade coleslaw and a side salad for a refreshing crunch.

For those with a sweet tooth, be sure to leave room for some of Shannon's famous Red Velvet Cake or their freshly baked scones, which are a favorite among many visitors—like Jennifer Mills, who raved, “We only had a coffee and scone, delicious, lovely place to visit.” The cafe caters to all dietary preferences with gluten-free options available, ensuring that everyone can partake in their scrumptious offerings.

When it comes to beverages, The Cafe shines with a selection of Drinks that perfectly complement the food. Their rich, aromatic coffee is ideal for a morning boost, while the whisky selection is a must-try for any spirit enthusiast. Andrew Stenson lauded the experience, stating, “The coffee, wine, and soup were all lovely & fresh, and the whisky is amazing as you would expect from a distillery cafe.”

What truly makes The Cafe at Torabhaig Distillery special, however, is its community feel and the friendly, down-to-earth staff who welcome you with open arms. David T noted the warmth and friendliness of the cafe, making it a refreshing alternative to more corporate experiences elsewhere. The charming layout includes both indoor and outdoor seating, allowing you to enjoy your meal in the way that suits you best, while gazing at the enchanting Skye vistas.

Whether you’re here for the distillery tour or simply passing through, make it a point to stop by The Cafe at Torabhaig Distillery. With its radiant ambiance, delicious food, and exceptional service, it promises to be a highlight of your journey on the Isle of Skye. Don’t forget to grab a unique souvenir from their gift shop as a lovely keepsake of your visit!

After having a fantastic tour at the distillery, my wife and I decided to try out the cafe. They had three things on the lunch menu. Tomato soup, Ham and Cheese toastie, and Brie and Spicy Jam toastie. My wife got the ham and cheese and I got the other two. Talk about quality over quantity! So simple and yet one of the most delicious meals I think I’ve had in Scotland. To top it off, one of the lovely ladies working the cafe made some mince pies of her own recipe (so good!) and gave us each one for free.

The cafe was stunning! Set in lovley courtyard surroundings overlooking the breathtaking views of Skye & Scotland. Coffee wine and soup were all lovley & fresh and the whiskey is amazing as you would expect from a distillery cafe. Hight recommended and worthy of a 5 star review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic place and so much warmer, friendly and down to earth than what you'll get with the more corporate experience at Talisker. Lovely staff, great gift shop and a nice little cafe with a nice seating area outside (and inside). Would have been great if there were more food options in the cafe, but you're here for the whisky.
