Sitting on Quayside Brae in the Isle of Skye's capital, Portree, Café Arriba is a lively bistro/café bar that has an intimate yet friendly atmosphere. You just can't miss it, with its whitewashed walls and bright blue and orange signing, bringing a taste of the exotic to Skye. The interior walls have warm pine, giving it a warm, informal atmosphere.

It is owned and managed by Jenny, Linda and Annie, who are determined to keep up the high standards they have set here. The service is friendly and informal, the food is great and the atmosphere is welcoming. It is open all day, and by day it serves lunches and snacks, as well as superb teas and coffees. In the evening it becomes a fully licensed restaurant which is popular with tourists and locals alike. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, low music plays and the food is outstanding. Locally sourced fresh produce is used wherever possible, and the menu has many dishes that show off the imagination and flare of the cooking. Some of the dishes bring the warmth and atmosphere of Mexico to Skye, so be sure to try one of them. You can order from the main menu, or from the daily changing chalked menu board.
