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.

We arrived at Columba 1400 after a walk from the beach at Staffin. Due to Covid 19 restrictions the cafe was only doing takeaway food but we were able to sit at a table outside. We were greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. The food we ordered was lovely, it was well presented, the portion sizes were excellent and it tasted great! Well worth the visit - the bacon and cheese ciabatta made my 10 year old daughter's top three highlights of her holiday!

Wow! This is an amazing place, the staff are so friendly and the food was delicious and excellent value. We where staying in Staffin for the week, first called in and had a mocha and cake ✅ then we came back for lunch next day and had Cullen skink soup and toasty which was delicious ✅ even purchased to take home for tea the mackerel pâté and some cakes. Staff so friendly and welcoming we made a booking to come back on our last day of holiday for afternoon tea. Wow!! Food coma from all the sandwiches and cake washed down with Prosecco absolutely delicious and great value, brought home a doggy bag.

This is a great place to stop for coffee,cake, lunch or dinner. The food is excellent and the staff are all so welcoming. The views are fantastic. Also worth a wee browse at the gifts that reflect good Scottish humour. A great place to stop for a warm welcome, to chill, take in the views and enjoy great home cooked food.

While me and my family were heading home from a day trip, we had a sudden urge of hunger so we stopped at the nearest cafe/restaurant . To be honest it took too long for the food to come out and my father told me that the soup was tasteless and bland, he was not satisfied with his meal. It was alright.

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.

We arrived for a booking at 19:30 as our B&B recommended it. When we arrived me and my friend both ordered the Vegan Burger and sweet corn fritters. We were half way through our meal when we noticed that the burger buns were mouldy and had patches at the bottom of the bun! Absolutely disgusted by this! Would not recommend!!

We had lunch as a group in a private room at the Columba 1400 building. We were served a lentil soup and molasses bread for a starter. OMG … that was some of the best bread I’ve ever had. I understand that they make it themselves. The staff set up a little buffet for us that included lox, smoked mackerel, and hot smoked salmon, a variety of delicious cheese, salads, and more. It was excellent! A couple of the cheeses I had never had before; I wish I knew where to get them. The hot smoked salmon was delicious as well. I was impressed with the meal. Afterwards, we were able to hear about the mission of the non-profit which supports adolescents around the country. The building itself is gorgeous. It is obvious that these people believe in their mission and are making a difference in the lives of young people.

It is currently take away only due to COVID but this wasn’t a problem for us. We ordered a beef burger and vegan burger, we both absolutes loved our meals. Very reasonably priced with fries and coleslaw included. Would definitely go back!

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 recommend

I saw the sign from the road previously, so we decided to give it a try
The Restaurant is pretty from the outside, it looks rather like a Swiss chalet, set amongst the mountain.
The service was good and the food was delicious. There was a large bay window with the most beautiful view of the mountain

We're so lucky to find this gorgeous place not only selling food, but local crafts and art. The homemade soup and cullen skink were lovely, and tasty cheese scones. Staff were so friendly and obliging too.

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).

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.

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.
