It’s more of a good cafe than a restaurant and it is also a caravan and motorhome site plus wigwams ( colourful wooden weatherproof huts). It’s at Braewick not Brae which is 15 miles south. It has all the facilities that a caravan/ motorhome site needs. Electric hook up, drive over drains, black water disposals, clean water available, good parking surfaces. Problem is it takes a bit of finding these facilities! Even the pitches take a bit of locating as only a couple are numbered. All the rest have been washed off, blown away etc. The showers are looking old and are difficult to manage. There is a playground and the beach is 5 mins walk but bear in mind this is 1000 km north of London, nearest neighbours are Iceland and Norway so the water is refreshing. But the views are spectacular cliffs of red rock and in the sea a set of rock stacks (the drongs) look like a Viking longship turned to stone. Wonderful to look at at midnight. You might see Foula, 40 plus km away. There are blow holes through the cliffs, take care. The Northmavine musicians play at Hillswickplus informal dancing for a great night out but it’s a 5 minute drive or an hours walk. Great place just needs an update.

Driving out to the lighthouse we decided to call in for a drink but noticed they offered a number of gluten free options so ordered a blt sandwich and tea which was really nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A great place to stop for a meal or snack and take in the spectacular view.

A group of us (6), stopped off at Breawick Cafe for a snack on our way to Eshaness cliffs not long after they had opened one morning. 2 of us had sassermaet rolls which were delicious 😋. 3 of the others had scones which were, according to all of them, very disappointing! Hard and dry were some of the comments. Service was excellent and the view outstanding 🤩

We stayed in the blue wigwam as a family of four and had a lovely one night stay, topped off by an excellent breakfast in the cafe in the morning. The views are just spectacular and it's just a short walk through the field to the beautiful pink beach which my kids really loved. The drizzle didn't stop us properly relaxing and we found all the facilities absolutely sufficient for our needs. The beds, although in need of a bit of TLC, were very comfy and made for a good night's sleep. A lovely campsite and a peaceful setting.

There may be campsites in Britain with a better view than this one, but I’m not aware of them. Wonderful location with fabulous view, good facilities for those of us in vans and tents, and the campsite/cafe team was very friendly and welcoming. We didn’t eat meals at the cafe, but it was fully booked the days we were there which is an excellent sign. But we did buy cakes on a couple of occasions which were totally lovely. Good for local walks, and for discovering local history - check out the story of Johnnie Notions and visit his grave. Jaw dropping view and lovely cakes. You need no more from a campsite.

Popped in here on the way to Eshaness lighthouse. Got a lovely welcome, a very nice pot of tea and a couple of slices of delicious cake. And that view......! Most of the tables were reserved for lunch, suggesting it is a very popular place. We saw someone receive their salad main course and it looked generous and beautifully presented. I even bought a picture of the Drongs on my way out. Overall, a really nice experience and would heartily recommend.

Judging by the busy carpark this was a popular place and, going inside, I could see why; the views are unique and outstanding, the place is airy and spacious with a wide menu of home cooked / comforting foods. I stuck with a minestrone soup and it was like a main course, hearty, hot and great quality. Prices are very reasonable and if you're in the area you really ought to call in.

This cafe looks unpromising from the outside, but inside there is a lovely view and a great experience awaiting! The staff couldn't have been nicer and we felt very well looked after - they even checked the weather for the rest of our holiday without being asked. Food was plentiful and good quality. We bought some lovely locally made gifts from the cabinet. No wonder this place is so popular.

We stayed on the small campsite adjacent to the cafe in our motorhome and thought we’d have breakfast before continuing our tour of Shetland. We had a table in the window overlooking the stunning cliffs and stacks of the Eshaness coastline, a definite room with a view, We both decided on the full breakfast which took a time to arrive but was well cooked (except the toast which we sent back to be cooked properly!) overall friendly staff, service a bit slow, good food, except the toast and stunning views

Stopped in at the Braewick Cafe on my way to Eshaness Cliffs on a beautiful sunny day. The cafe was under COVID-19 restrictions but felt very safe and wasn't crowded. Plenty of hand sanitiser available, and separate entrance and exit doors. For lunch I had the battered haddock and chips with salad and coleslaw. It was perfect - piping hot local fish, freshly cooked - and there was plenty of it, it was a feast! I also had a delicious latte. The staff were lovely and friendly. The view of the cliffs and sea from the front windows is amazing, particularly on a sunny day. Definitely worth a visit!

Pleasant service staff. Glass display cases with local handmade wool items (interesting selection of knitting needles) if you are in the market for souvenirs. Views from the rear of the building were nice to photograph and the heather growing back there was so pretty.

This Cafe and caravan park is in a breathtaking location convenient for walking trips and visiting the Eshaness cliffs and lighthouse. If you’re camping the cafe is the perfect place to have breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. The food is freshly prepared from local produce and everything I tried was delicious. The cream of cauliflower soup, scones and special treat meringue nest filled with fresh berries, topped with white chocolate sauce and pouring cream. If it’s raining the leather sofas are a snug place to while away a couple of hours. The coffee is from The Bean Shop in Perth and is very good.

Stopped here for lunch on our tour of the North West of Shetland. The views were stunning, both from the restaurant itself with its many windows, and from the outside seating (limited) where we sat. Menu choice I felt was somewhat limited, although the food we had was very enjoyable (with the exception of the chips which were hard and overcooked - hopefully just a one off).

The facilities were good and clean and staff lovely but our stay was spoilt by 10 to 20 kids running around and been loud and screaming at the top of there lungs till 11:30pm there was nobody to police them parents did not care also the door to the facilities slammed open and shut till the early hours ppl coming and going not a quiet stay or enjoyable. We are local to the island and genially felt sorry for the older guests staying there that had traveled a long way to be put out by unruly children not good . I know the camp site can not police all the time but they should be aware of this .

Simple and unadorned, allowing the breathtaking view from the ample windows to be the star. We stopped here as part of an excursion including the Eshaness Cliffs, so we didn't have a full meal, but the service, pastries, beverages were all excellent. The meals we saw being prepared and consumed, notably the seafood, looked phenomenal. The feeling here is one of calm, "chill", relaxation, nothing posh, just simple quality.

Popped into the cafe before going for a walk around Eshaness, being from Shetland I've been to this cafe a few years ago and it was great. This time round it wasn't so great,the waitress looked really unhappy and didn't seem to have any people skills..there was hardly anything to choose from on the menu. Very unimpressed, especially with Eshaness & Hillswick being one of the main tourist attractions up north.

And lovely scone and coffee and people. But the pitches were slanting and I don't carry levellers. Unfortunately there was a very large group in with children riding round and round the whole site on bikes. Yes they were well behaved but maybe a family side and a quiet side? I actually left the site in the evening and found somewhere a bit more relaxing and quiet and yes I had paid up front.

Internally - Bright spacious and clean with great views. Being "locals" we sat near the back to give the tourist the best seats in the house and to stay away from the group of mums with their noisy sub-3 year olds.Externally - Plenty of parking. Spaces for camper vans, a handful of wigwams and room for tents.Service - The place was busy so service wasn't instantaneous, but the environment is relaxing and we were in no hurry, so it wasn't a problem. We were served by a brunette with a serious face who was really good at the job. I bet she has a lovely smile too.Food - I had the salmon salad, which was small but perfectly formed, with a generous portion of salmon. I am not sure red onion has any place in a salad though, but that's probably because I can't eat the stuff. The boiled egg had a green layer around the yoke, suggesting that they are cooked the day before and kept in the fridge ready for serving. She had the cheese sandwich with cream cheese and salad, including red onion, but they swapped that out for tomato. She commented that the cheese wasn't strong enough, but she prefers the really hardcore stuff. Stick to what you are serving and keep the majority happy. There were sachets of condiments and a salt and pepper pot on the table.Drinks - The coffee machine was awaiting a part, which seems to be a theme here. The last time I was here the situation was the same. She had a filter coffee and said that it was OK. Praise indeed as she likes it strong enough to strip paint. Perhaps she is mellowing! I had the pot of tea for one, which came with a spare teabag. I think that is unnecessary . Just offer one free refill instead. The tea was fine for teabag tea. There was plenty of milk and sugar on offer, but no sweeteners.Facilities - Toilets were clean apparently. I didn't feel the need to sample them. There are some interesting items to buy, nicely presented in a large glass case, mostly knitted and to appeal to tourists.Checkout - Without a problem and with a smile and a joke.Recommended.

It doesn't have a common room or anywhere to sit and the kitchen/laundry room is tiny.

We had travelled out to Eshaness for the view, unfortunately it was a horrible day, we only stayed about 2 mins. On the way back we were desperate for a coffee to warm us up, yes it was that kind of lovely Scottish day (and I'm Scottish, so know what I'm talking about!). On the way to the cliffs we had noticed this cafe, so decided to stop on the way back, it's not very prepossessing, it looks like a concrete box, small and not very nice, but there were quite a few cars in the car park, so we went in. What a surprise, the inside is lovely (relatively speaking), It's much bigger than it looks and has a wall of windows over looking the nearby loch which is lovely.The floor and tables are blond wood and it's all very modern looking, as well as warm and fairly comfortable. It was very busy, but when we explained to the waitress that we were under a time restriction (we had to get back to Lerwick to pick up luggage and go for the ferry) she served us very quickly.One of us had a pork sandwich which he said was delicious, the rest of us had scones and tea, which were both delicious, the scones were home baked and very fresh.There are also some cabinets with local knit wear, hats, gloves etc. I liked a knitted snood so much I bought it.I would thoroughly recommend the cafe, overlook the outside and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Either stop for something to eat or on your return after your adventures around the areas is always good. Nice food and a relaxing cafe with nice helpful staff, also good to be able to meet others.

We always call in here when we are in this part of Shetland as the scones and snacks are very good and it is often a welcome chance to warm up and get out of the wind. Some days, it's just a pleasure to visit and enjoy coffee and a cake and admire the wonderful view. It is well positioned in an area with few places to eat, is very clean and well organised and as well as good food, has local crafts on sale and information available for visitors.

The atmosphere in the Braewick Cafe is nice and relaxed, along with the service. The views looking out over Eshaness through their huge glass windows are second to none.The food was nice too. Nice sized portions, and very tasty with that homecooked feel everyone looks for.The menu is very basic, but they have a variety of specials on every day. I struggled to choose from all the great choices on offer.I can't honestly comment on the price as I never saw the bill - we wee treated. But I think for the quality of our meal and the lovely atmosphere it was more than likely worth every penny.

I will be as fair as I can as I did read many reviews on camping websites before my visit and also I cannot find a dedicated page on trip advisor for the campsite only,As I was traveling a long way I wanted some confirmation that my Wigwam was reserved so I emailed them 3 times on two different email addresses with no reply and on the 3rd phone call I got to speak to someone who asked if I had received my "pack"in the post (which I had not hence the contact)I was then told that they had my reservation,On arrival I booked in and paid the balance I had to ask them where the facilities where,The wigwam was how I expected it to be but after just coming from another which although was slightly more expensive it did come with a fully made double bed,TV toaster, microwave,Now I think it would be a welcome addition to include a TV in these wigwam's as when the weather is not to kind outside there is really not very much to do unless you bring your own entertainment there is no WIFI on site and a very poor phone signal,Unfortunately I found the gents toilets quite soiled so from then on I decided to use the toilets in the shower rooms,The showers in there really would benefit from a shower curtain as the toilets where on my visits were always covered in water,When handing my key in after a 2 night stay I was only asked if I had "settled up"I was not asked How was my stay Did I enjoy my stayWas every thing ok with my stay,I agree with other reviews on camping websites which say that the camping site is just a side line which they are not very interested in which is a shameI cannot comment on the cafe or the food but it did look very pleasant

On Holiday for a few weeks with our daughter and husband who live in Lerwick, she recommended my wife and I visited the cafe for lunch on our car ride out to this remote part of the Shetlands, we both chose the fish and chips, a nicely presented ample meal, and good coffee, the cafe has wonderful sea views and a caravan & campsite attached.The large and airy place was less than half full but the noise of peoples voices echoed uncomfortably around the room, we would not want to be there if it was full, a few simple steps, like some soft furnishings, to absorb some of the sound echoing around would make it a much more pleasant place to sit and enjoy food and drink at this wonderful location. 31st July 2015.

We stayed at this excellent caravan park and visited the cafe several times. The food is delicious using local ingrediants. The service was very friendly.

A lovely location with great views over the sea. The tea was the best we drank in Scotland and it washed down a lovely piece of shortbread.Would love to have tried more of the food.

As there is a shortage of good restaurant/cafes in Shetland it was good to find this one on the road to Eshaness. Coffee was excellent and my portion of Cottage Pie was delicious and huge - enough for two. View from my seat was outstanding. Staff were friendly and helpful, what more can you ask for?

Lovely cafe. Spotlessly clean. Food excellent and freshly prepared. Cake also lovely and very popular. Things soon run out. We visited twice during our holiday and had excellent lunches. The staff were friendly and the general ambience was warm and relaxed.

This a lovely light and airy cafe. The cakes are home baked, and they have a modern coffee machine for those that need a cappuccino, latte or mocha. We visited here 4 times in the last week for coffee, cakes and light lunch. The main meals looked very good too. The walk onto the beach involves 2 stiles, but is easily accessible although a bit wet underfoot. The view fo Da Drongs is fantastic in the afternoon when the sun comes round. A visit to Eshaness and a walk along the coast is well worth the effort, thhen back here for coffee.

I wouldn't describe this as a restaurant as it's titled here. It's the Braewick cafe and caravan park and in both of these aspects it is first class. The camp site itself is not particularly beautiful being a tarmac car park, but the facilities are excellent. Water and plug-ins available for vans, wooden wigwams which look very cosy and room for some tents. There's a kid's playground. Toilets, showers, washing up etc are very clean and well equipped. There's a kettle and microwave available for lazy campers. Where this wins most of all, though, is the view which is simply stunning. Eshaness is a particularly beautiful part of Shetland and waking up to a view of the Drongs is an experience I won't forget.For the truly lazy camper however the main benefit is the cafe which is open 9 to 5 every day serving excellent breakfasts, lunches and snacks. Very friendly service and some local crafts for sale too.I can't wait to go back. We spent 10 days on Shetland and had a thoroughly good time kayaking and walking but next time I think I could spend 10 days on Eshaness and I know where I would stay.

Had a very nice lunch with Shetland friends who know where they can have a nice modern venue in a remote place at reasonable prices. I very much enjoyed the Shetland beer (White Witch) which was a real quality ale.Despite a bus load of tourists from a cruise ship descending on the place for coffee and shortbread, the service was good and given in a happy way.

Enjoyed the best ever fish and chips (and coleslaw) in Shetland. As always Christine was a perfect host - nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and afternoon at Braewick Cafe - the setting is just fabulous. Excellent value for money and highly recommended. Booking advised. Thank you so much.

After a long drive from Lerwick stopped for a welcome cup of tea and to admire the view from the windows. Good atmosphere and very welcoming. Definitely an excellent stopping off point and you can also stay here in the campsite or the wooden wigwams. Drive further on for the fork right towards Eshaness (fabulous coastal scenery and a Lighthouse).

We had friends on holiday, so we went to the Braewick cafe for Sunday lunch. We were all agreed it was the best roast beef with all the trimmings, we have had in a long long time. Absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, very friendly and polite staff. Well done Braewick.

This is the only cafe in the area so we had no choice.but it did not matter as it was good.We had soup of the day,thick cauliflower,delicious.Also a pot of tea which was fine.The cafe was high on a hill with surrounding views from the windows.Not cheap but worth it.

We stopped off here for lunch between walks at Eshaness and Hillswick Ness. The view was magnificent; probably the best view from a restaurant anywhere in the world! The food was very good, and the fish was so fresh. The crab salad is definitely recommended. Will definitely return on a future visit to the Shetlands.

We had such a nice meal here at the start of our holiday that we went back again and it was just as good the second time. Everything is home made and the meats are all home-grown from the next-door croft. Sadly no crab on the days we were there, but delicious soups, nice fresh salads with the sandwiches and burgers, and really tasty fresh fish in the fish and chips. Excellent crispy chips too. Generous portions, and yummy cakes to finish off. On top of that the staff are really lovely and the view is to die for. This area has spectacular scenery, loads of great walks and hidden gems to explore so maybe we can squeeze in one last visit before we go ........Tip: busy at weekends so try to visit for early or late lunch to avoid disappointment.

I visited Shetland recently and discovered that there are very few cafes at which you can have a nice cake & coffee. However, Braewick cafe is one of them. It is perfectly situated for a day out to Esha Ness. A couple of things to bear in mind. They are not open every day. I suggest you phone beforehand or ask at the tourist office. Secondly, they are sometimes a lunch stop-off for tours. Check with them beforehand otherwise you could be disappointed and find that there is no room. We went twice and both times were served straight away with lovely cake & coffee. Don't let the fact that they are a caravan park put you off. There was hardly any evidence of camping when we went (June) and the view alone, from the cafe, is worth the visit.

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights during our recent visit to Shetland. The cafe serves a wide range of food, but we just had coffee and cake each time we went in which was excellent. The campsite has a number of hard standings for Motorhomes and caravans, there's a tent area and 4, if I remember correctly, wooden Wigwams. The setting is stunning with views south over Brae Wick. Showers, laundry facilities and free WiFi, made this an excellent spot to visit the NW of Mainland. Recommended.

We had coffee and homemade cakes here against a fabulous backdrop of sea, cliffs and sky. It was worth the trip just for the view but to find somewhere to eat in this remote place, with great birdlife too, was a bonus.

Fantastic value for money,great food cooked while you wait,they say breakfast sets you up for the day well the large breakfast will keep you going all day and more. It was the only place open when the boat comes in at 7.00 but was an oasis on a dreich morning,superb.

Right by the ferry terminal so the ideal place to wait for a crossing. This is popular with workmen and with families. They serve a wide range of food and drinks. From snacks to full meals. From breakfasts to afternoon teas. I enjoyed a coffee and a tray bake. Would have called in twice more during my visit to Yell but it was closed.
