Black Pearl Creole Kitchen in Highland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Just wow! Absolutely delicious meal in this charming restaurant. Wonderful jerk chicken followed by melt in the mouth coconut pie. Also delicious (and quite heady) rum punch. Super friendly welcome and super quick service. This place is only open Weds to Saturday and it was busy. You can't book, but you must go!

Awesome food and people - everything is excellent (I think we managed to make our way through the whole menu this holiday 😂). The team are so friendly and the food is outstanding. A real gem and great to see it so popular with locals and visitors alike! We hope to return again soon!

What a fabulous place to eat delicious food served by lovely people. We knew we were in for a treat when we heard the cheerful music playing. We had the most tasty vegan chickpea curry, rice and peas and a cauliflower rice salad accompanied by a true Jamaican rum punch. Don’t forget to leave room for puddings too. Eating here was a highlight on our Scottish 500 road trip.

What an amazing place! We absolutely loved it here and wish we’d gone sooner so that we could go back again and again but sadly we only discovered it at the end of our holiday. I had the creole bbq pork rib and it melted in my mouth. The kids loved the creole Mac n Cheese. Great atmosphere with cheerful staff and great service at a reasonable price. A rare find! If you’re in the area, don’t miss it!

A very different, unexpected find in this little town. Very atmospheric small restaurant with their own twist on things. Food was very tasty and the desserts were to die for❤️The staff was very charismatic and polite.woukd recommend trying this place😊

Went in summer, out of this world, flavourful but not unnecessarily spicy hot. My favourite food place full stop.

Ordered a take away for pick up, delicious food, one of the best take aways we've ever had. Well prepared quality food and friendly service ... an easy 5/5 😁

We had a takeaway and it was absolutely fantastic. We have been there before and the food was stunning then too. Beautiful spiced food . Can’t wait for our next visit!

Absolutely delicious food, which is a delight to the senses. I’d never tried anything like Jerk Chicken but my word, what a wonderful surprise. Super tasty, filling and very good value. Highly recommended

Staff were very helpful and food was quick and delicious. Rum punch amazing but very strong! Were able to ask for plates to share the food between us. Recomend.

Food was so yummy. Lovely warm and casual. Fresh, spicy but not too much. Just lovely and awesome hosts happy to chat and give some suggestions. 😃

This restaurant was amazing!! I have been to several islands in the Caribbean so I was quite keen to visit. The food was fantastic, as was the rum punch! The staff explained that this is a family owned restaurant and they are of Caribbean descent. So everything was authentic but not too spicy for local palate. My only hope is that they open another place in Edinburgh!!

Unbelievable / amazing / authentic / tasty / the real deal in Gairloch!!!! We got married in Jamaica & are repeat offenders when it comes to the Caribbean. The Black Pearl Creole kitchen smashed it out of the park every time. Had the pleasure of eating here 3 times last week. The chickpea curry & the ribs were amazing. In fact, everything on the menu was soo authentic caribbean cooking. The rum punch was off the charts. Be warned they use overproofed rum it has a punch. Don't look at the prices coz its worth every penny. Don't let the hot chef put you off she rocks the house. Can't recommend highly enough

Delicious food, cooked and served by lovely, friendly folks who clearly have a passion for great flavours. Small menu but with enough range for meat eaters and vegetarians. Great atmosphere in simple surroundings tastefully decorated. Many thanks to Angie for the fab bread recipe.

This was an unexpected gem in Gairloch. The food was so delicious and the owners excellent with recommendations to suit needs. Would highly recommend and wish we were here for longer as we would eat there tonight too !! We will be back - thank you 🙏

This place is an absolute gem! The weather in Gairloch had been typically Scottish during our stay, and walking into The Black Pearl was like a breath of fresh air. It was lively, busy and had a great atmosphere. We wanted to eat in, so we ordered and grabbed a table. The food arrived and it was absolutely amazing! I had jerk chicken and it was beautifully done. The flavours were fresh and vibrant, and Angie also took care to make sure our little boy would enjoy the spicy flavours in his food. All of the staff are wonderful, and it's clear that everyone who works there cares passionately about the food that is served. We can't wait to visit again on our next trip.

Food was good but pretty expensive considering the raw ingredients and portion sizes. The potato nests were lovely but the very sweet sauce on the mac and cheese should have been optional.

The food here is just great, but better than that, it is rin by people who love what they are doing. The Black Pearl is a true gem, soul food at its best. You have to have the sweet potato nests and the sticky toffee pudding. It's great...just wish we had been sooner on our holiday here...

Obviously that’s better than bad and overpriced. The food was excellent and the people who run it seem lovely. It’s pretty expensive for what it is though. Still, I would return..

Holy smokes! Everything was exceptional, the food, service, atmosphere! I’m pretty sure it was the best food that I ate for the past few years of my life, it was that good! 😋 The staff is just so alive and friendly:) Definitely coming back some day although I live 3 hours away (by plane) 😌

I loved the food here. Small selection but caters for vegans which 2 of our party are. Food is freshly cooked with an authentic Caribbean taste. The rum & ginger sticky toffee pudding is exceptional. We sat in but it is predominantly a takeaway. A...

Outstanding! I’m lucky enough to have this gem in my doorstep…the menu is fairly small, but caters for everyone, tantalising flavours, to be savoured. Portion sizes are more than adequate… staff super friendly & accommodating

Fabulous food. Jerk Chicken and Rum Punch, a perfect blend. Staff were amazing. Great atmosphere. Will be back on our next visit to Gairloch.👌

Fabulous food, great flavours, loved by the whole family. Limited menu ( …that’s a good thing) with everything done very well. Jerk chicken with brown rice and slaw, chickpea curry with flatbreads, spicy chicken wings and a mac’n’cheese. Emphasis on spices rather than heat, Lovely...

Really friendly and delicious food. Great atmosphere too. We were welcomed in out of the rain and tucked into very tasty goat curry.

The food was spot on and the staff were friendly and inviting. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area. Would highly recommend the bbq ribs and rice with slaw

We had a takeaway from the Black Pearl whilst holidaying in Gairloch and it was the best meal we had all week. We had the sweet potato nests to start which were delicious and we wish we'd ordered more. The jerk chicken was divinely spicy...

Great surprise finding this place - we had a great creole lunch and took some more home for supper.

A rare find! Jerk chicken delicious! So much flavour it’s the best thing I’ve eaten in some time . Lovely wee gem of a place, gorgeous rum punch and lovely white wine. Staff very friendly, will def make this a regular visit on future trips...

Omg, what a find this was. Final night on our 3 week holiday in Wester Ross and what a meal to finish on. The food was delightful, obviously cooked by someone who puts their heart and soul into cooking. We had the channa curry, but...

Just a fabulous find. Really nice food served by really nice people. Slight mix up with our booking but they could not have been better at resolving the issue. Food was fantastic especially the sweet potato nests. Loved it and will definitely be back when...

Cannot reccomend it highly enough, the food arrived quickly and the flavours were amazing. Friendly and informative service. The rum punch was fantastic as well. We will definitely be back.

Wow what a great unexpected find in the middle of the Scottish Highlands. Amazing to find somewhere doing some great vegan and veggie options in the Highlands. We could see they offered lots of options for everyone. They are also dog friendly so we could...

What an unexpected find in Gairloch - delicious meal at Black Pearl accompanied by rum punch. Food was first class , reasonably priced and staff were lovely. Thank you

Great value original Creole dishes in cool vibe surroundings accompanied by Red Stripe or rum punch!

Stumbled across this place and we had the most amazing lunch, jerk chicken bara, pulled pork bara and a toasted sour dough cubano. Absolutely delicious. So much so we are going back for dinner! Not to be missed.

Tasty, freshly prepared food. A ray of warmth on a dull breezy day. Looking forward to having our dinner later on in the week.

What a find! We had a take-away from Black Pearl Creole Kitchen whilst on holiday in Gairloch. The food was delicious we had jerk chicken, meaty ribs and sweet potato nests. The only downside was that it was only open for 1 night during our...

This is a fab wee, restaurant, serving tasty Caribbean food. Anji is friendly and has created a cosy place serving flavoursome food. Make sure to book to secure a table. There’s free parking to the rear. I’d highly recommend the Black Pearl if visiting in...

Best meal we had on our 2 week Scottish holiday. Lovely owners, very welcoming for dogs as well as people. Don’t hesitate to visit

Paradise wrapped up in wonderful flavours, super friendly welcoming hosts… food is to absolutely die for! Can not praise highly enough! We are SO lucky to have Anji & James here in Gairloch! Try it out… you will not be disappointed 10/10

It's hard to stop the superlatives when describing the very delicious food served here. We had the ribs and the chicken burger, trust me, not the normal boring offerings, but a taste explosion! Anji knows her stuff and this is really worth stopping for. The...

Stepping into a great atmosphere with lovely welcoming hosts and delicious creole food. Ladies evening out. We had a fantastic time. A must visit in Gairloch!!

Really delicious food and a very warm welcome from Anji and her team. Our family want to become regulars - which won’t be easy from Edinburgh!

Food is excellent, nice variety too. Nice addition to the area. Service always very friendly. Good value. Only used the takeaway but sit-in looks like it would be nice.

We ate here whilst staying in the area and would definitely recommend. Friendly welcome, good atmosphere and tasty food. If visiting during busier months get there early to avoid disappointment!

Have eaten her a few times and also take-away. A fabulous place to go. The lovely owners are very friendly and make you feel so welcomed. A must visit !

Fabulous find in Gairloch. Amazing food, amazing flavours. We ordered take-away and next time we holiday up here we will be back.

Well-kept interior, neatly and cheerfully decorated. As well as the dishes, to lick your thumbs and fingers. Well seasoned, nicely presented. Extremely friendly service. Highly recommended!

Beautiful meal, Anji and her husband are fabulous hosts, the food was absolutely delicious highly recommend, we will be back 🙂

Highly recommend this place. Probably the most delicious food I’ve had this year. Devoured the beef barbossa along with the creole chicken wings.

This is excellent food, beautifully spiced. Prepared with love and delivered to the table with charm. This is a family business and Anji’s food is not just good for Gairloch; her food would easily stand up against all competition in a MUCH larger city. Cannot...

Had a lovely evening meal at the Black Pearl. Owners attentive and friendly, Food was very tasty, recommend the jerk chicken, clean plates all round including the younger, fussier eaters. Will definitely come again when back in Gairloch.

The best jerk chicken we’ve ever had - and we have it a lot in South London. A real gem, warm, casual and friendly. Not to be missed if you are in the area.

Quite simply the best meal we had while staying in the area. A different dining experience, relaxed and casual with exceptional service - great smile. BBQ ribs with wild rice, beans and slaw - just mouth-watering Have already recommended to family and friends visiting the...

Delicious food - a must visit if you're in the area. Only tried on the last day of our holiday or would have gone again!

We had an amazing meal here, I could not recommend enough. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff, with an interesting menu and the best coconut pie/cake I’ve ever tasted. I look forward to visiting again. Thank you.

Not really a quick bite. We had a great dinner this evening of beautiful soft pork ribs with rice and beans with light Cajun spices, a creole chicken and a vegetarian dish. All very nice with great service by the owners.

Fantastic little lunch for 5, beautifully prepared, quick and tasty. Could not have been nicer. Jerk chicken was so tasty and the pork cabana on sour dough was delicious

Had a great lunch at the Black Pearl Cafe, serves delicious carribean food and also does evening meals as well. Definitely worth a visit if your in Gairloch.

Visited the Black Pearl for dinner, small choice, we picked jerk chicken and mac n cheese, YUM!!!!! SO TASTY!! Staff very friendly, music just perfect, totally chilled out feeling in a small cozy restaurant. Will definitely return!!

The menu is superb. Service so quick and the food was absolutely delicious. The owners are so friendly and we originally planned to go back for the evening meal but our plans sadly changed. Will definitely return. Highly recommend!

Passed the eye catching sign as we drove into Gairloch on way to hotel on the NC500 route. Checked it was open on Internet and took a 10 minute walk to find it was open (a lot on the route haven't been despite what websites...

We got a take-away from Black Pearl. Jerk Chicken, Chickpea and coconut curry and Kingston Mac 'n' Cheese. The menu is small - just a few items - but they are definitely made with pride, love and attention. OMG it was all so yummy! Incredibly...

Arrived here after a recommendation after being unable to find any where else to eat and can honestly say we were not dissappinted, food was served quickly and was very tasty and much to the relief of my partner his was not too spicy and...

We went to Black Pearl for take away food (you can dine in also). Staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was served quickly and was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the meal so much. I can’t recommend it enough. The only downside is, that...

Just been here to round off a fabulous week in Gairloch and couldn't have ended on a better note. The food here is sensational - between us we had goat curry, jerk chicken and a burger, with coconut pie to finish, and everything was fresh,...

Literally just finished their jerk chicken flatbread and pulled pork & pastrami cubanos toastie (we halfed each between two). £16.50 including 2 cans of pop which felt reasonable. Portion sizes were good, food tasted great with plenty of good quality meat in both the cubanos...

Highly recommended for lunch or dinner - a slice of the Caribbean in the Scottish Highlands! A bit hidden away but worth finding out - now indoors ( previously Street food van) at the old location of the Gairloch museum at the junction for Strath....

No frills but very tasty food. Can tell made with love and knowledge. Recommended by our B&B host so glad we decided to try.

We loved eating here throughout our holiday and tried pretty much everything on the menu, a friendly team and such flavourful cooking, it smells amazing before you even get inside. Cannot rate this place highly enough…just go you won’t be disappointed, (great for veggies too!)....

We first tried the Black Pearl Creole Kitchen's food last year when they were still in their food truck. Very happy for them they have now opened their restaurant! Amazing food and such friendly and cool people. You can just tell this food is made...

We just saw this little restaurant and pulled in for some lunch, we were not dissappointed. The young lady was very personable and despite needing gluten free she was more than happy to adjust a meal from sourdough to a GF wrap. It is refeshing...

Previously operating from a food truck they now have their own space. It’s a lovely space too - great music, simple wooden seats and a gracious hostess / owner / chef. We had the grilled aubergine, the jerk chicken flatbread and the Cubano sourdough toastie....
