Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Housed in a beautiful new building (community centre & academy) with great views over the village to the hills. Food was very good, e.g. Cullen Skink. Can get busy with Quiraing tourists and service was slow (run by volunteers).

I took a chance and dropped off my fussy American guests for lunch. They said it was an amazing lunch, and the chowder was amazing. Pleased with the recommendation, I will be returning with future guests. Thank you, Columbia 1400.

Had a really good evening meal here last night. Menu is excellent with a great veggie/vegan selection and it makes a change to to have something different on the menu to usual veggie burger or macaroni that tends to be offered. I had the vegetable...casserole and husband had steak. Both of us had Cranachan for pud. Great value and excellent service. Thoroughly recommendMore

Really busy unusual great cafe in Staffin, Isle of Skye. Staff totally with it so we had to wait over 20 minutes. They do take names to record your wait so don’t miss out on that. Once seated, lovely place, coupled with a youngsters ‘outward...bound’ / leadership course residential centre. The menu has some unique features and it’s all good. The food was very enjoyable and the staff were good. The facilities were clean. Would we go back? Absolutely. A great place to stop-off.More

We came across this place by accident but were we glad we did. Just stopped for a coffee and were tempted by the Bakewell scones. They were delicious, the staff were all very friendly and the whole place was immaculately clean. Lunch was just starting...to be served as we left and that looked delicious as well. Would recommend this place to anybody visiting Skye.More

We stopped here for lunch after exploring the nearby beach and we were not disappointed. The cheesy chips are immense and the Cullen skink was good too. We sat outside and had a lovely view to accompany a good meal.

My wife and I shared a gorgeous Afternoon Tea at Columba 1400. A great variety of sandwiches and cakes, all beautifully presented. We were unable to finish everything at one sitting, so the staff kindly provided a few boxes to take the rest home! We...were lucky and got a table by the front windows, what a view!More

Driving around the northern part of the Isle of Skye, we stopped for the quick lunch in Staffin. We ended up in the Columba 1400 Café that is part of the Columba 1400 project. We took the cullen skink with homemade bread and a local...Scottish cider. We were served quickly and everything was delicious. Thirty minutes later, we were hitting the road.More

Fabulous place on Skye. A social enterprise located in a beautiful building. Incredibly friendly staff serving up good quality food. Delicious salads and wraps. The homemade bread was just fantastic. Highly recommended if you're fortunate enough to be in this part of the world.

Hi there, we have 2 dogs but we didn't take them into the restaurant area (I don't think you can) because the weather was nice we sat on the balcony outside where a dog bowl for water is supplied. Hope this helps?
