Braewick Cafe and Restaurant in Shetland Islands

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!

Excellent meal and service in restaurant . Lovely stay at campsite ,what a view to wake up to .Enjoyed lovely walk to beautiful stoney beach .

Simple, cozy cafe with clean restrooms. Absolutely delicious, fresh scones with cream, shortbread and hot tea were a very welcome snack after spending time touring outdoors in the wind! 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.

We stopped in for tea/coffee and cake after several hours of walking at Eshaness and nearby. Bright and cheery--both the staff and the cafe. Cake was yummy.

Tour group of 13 had lunch reservations.... nice menus with hard spirits, beer and cider available. Variety of coffees and the food was great no matter what we’d ordered.

Stopped by to use the toilet facilities primarily as from the outside it didn’t look much, looks can be deceiving! Ended up sat in for coffee & homemade cake, absolutely breathtaking view and really delicious cake and good coffee.Place was spotless & staff were very friendly.

Wir haben hier mehrmals Tee oder Mittag genossen.Sehr freundliche Bedienung, frisches, leckeres Essen. Gf und lf ist ebenfalls kein Problem und Brot und Dessertmöglichkeiten sind für alle Esser gegeben.Und: Toller Panoramablick!

What a fantastic view, and the food and drinks are superb. I would highly recommend a trip here especially as the sights nearby are stunning. The food was all home made and delicious. The ploughmans lunch was exceptional. So much food, great hardy portion size and all of it was lovely. The sandwiches were great. Including the crab sandwich, which was specially made with request. There is a great selection if pictures etc which were great. A must for the area.

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.

We stopped in on our bus tour and loved this little spot. The tea was delicious as were the home made shortbread. It’s a great little cafe with warm, lovely staff!

Stopped at this out of the way cafe at Eshaness, a marvellous area to visit for the scenery alone. Views from the cafe were amazing but inside the cafe, a lovely experience. Coffee and cake the order of the day for my wife and I and pleasant staff and very good coffee and cake. A delightful visit,#

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).

Fantastic views, good location for exploring Eshaness and Northmavine. £24 per night for spacious pitch at the front and £18 for a slightly smaller pitch behind. Restaurant opened Thurs to Sunday when we were there the first week in May. Nice, clean facilities.

We went up there for lunch it was lovely. The staff were very friendly. Had burger with chips, salad and coleslaw it was delicious. Definitely worth a trip up there.

This is worth a visit; excellent value for money and very generous portions. We had half portions and could barely finish our meal (lunch)!. The view is outstanding.

Great food, lovely service, good prices, amazing views and comfortable seats! Food was delicious and the young waitress was really attentive and friendly. A gem for the north of Shetland!

We stopped by in the late afternoon on a weekday. Service was very friendly. We ordered coffees, tea and scones. Butter is included with the scone but jam in a small plastic packet costs a bit extra.

Breathtaking sea views from the cafe’s panoramic windows or outside terrace. Large spacious dining area with comfortable chairs and tables. The home baked scones are delicious, and the extensive main course menu is impressive. Dishes are fresh, tasty and attractively presented, and portions are very generous.

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 .

My wife and I booked a Sunday lunch here, having enjoyed previous visits where we had snacks with a coffee. We both chose the chicken hot pot with lightly peppered creamy sauce. It was simply delicious, well cooked and presented. The home made apple crumble was great too!

We stoped in here after and exhilarating walk along the cliffs at Eshnaness. It had been recommended to us by a local which is always a good sign. The staff are lovely and friendly and the food delicious, I had the ploughman’s lunch and my husband the fish and chips. They pride themselves on using meat fresh from their own Croft. The cafe is big and airy with astounding views over the coastline.

We stopped off here on our way to Esha Ness and were lucky enough to get the sofa table by the window. Comfy seats, great views and a nice cuppa to go with it all.

Braewick Cafe do one of the most tasty beef burgers I’ve ever eaten and always have that when we call in for lunch if visiting the area.

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.

We arrived just in time for fruit scones, hot out of the oven. That, with butter, cream or jam, and either lattes or coffees, completed our order. No complaints from anyone! Very friendly service, and beautiful views. Definitely recommended by me!

We decided to have a celebration caravan holiday by staying on the neighbouring camp site and booking a special birthday meal in the restaurant. Scott the chef was so attentive and provided some excellent meals two of which were designed to accommodate special medical requirements. His staff were also very friendly and helpful.

Great variation of food. Large portions. Scampi with salad and chips great! Stunning views. Also offers camping site. Large restaurant but was full most of the time, thus book if you can. Kids friendly.

Stopped there with a local guide for lunch and were very happy with the choice. The menu was simple and covered all the bases with local options including beer. The staff were great as were the views.

Pleasant cafe with views over Brae Wick bay, serving dishes made with local produce. The crab salad was very good as were the cakes. Attached to a camping/caravan park with good facilities.

This restaurant serves decent food and as vegetarians we couldn't complain even though the choice was restricted to the usual baked potatoes, sandwiches, salads etc. The portions were very generous and the food was tasty.

Después de un largo día de nuestra familia era muy ansiosos de una abundante comida. Después de todo nos colocaron en una mesa nos informaron de que no sirve. Los pasajeros de cruceros tienen prioridad sobre las familias, así que la cocina estaba cerrada para...

Las vistas aquí son simplemente increíbles. Está lejos de todo, en la parte oeste de la Shetland Isles y es bastante tranquilo y sencillo. El propietario es una encantadora señora que es amable y hospitalario. La comida es sencilla y casera y bastante bueno. Los bollos eran increíbles. Parada mientras explora el país al oeste de las islas Shetland. Usted tiene que parar, si solo por la vista!

off the cruise ship Magellan a wet misty day so a nice coffee with homemade shortbread in a light warm place with a great view as just the thing

La comida es buena. Período! El personal es amable y hablador, así que siempre aprenderá algo sobre Shetland cuando nos visite.

Paramos en un día lluvioso. La habitación era muy cómoda con una vista fantástica. Tuvimos lattes y pastel, pero estaba delicioso. Los otros preparan la comida olía maravilloso. El personal era muy amable. Realmente disfrutamos de poder mirar la artesanía preciosa y escuchar sobre los knitters local.

Visited here on a day in Northmavine. Lovely cafe- great views and scones were fresh out of the oven- amazing! Once you've refuelled here, head to Tangwick Haa down the road for some history.

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.

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.

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.

Called in on our way to Eshaness cliffs. Stunning views ... We just had coffee and cake, which was pretty average, but the facilities looked good.

It is well worth having a meal here for the view alone. The restaurant has a giant window that captures it superbly.They do really nice homemade food. I had 2 meals here and they both hit the spot. The staff are warm and welcoming.The campground is fine. Great Views. Well maintained. The facilities are all clean and modern. It doesn't have a common room or anywhere to sit and the kitchen/laundry room is tiny. It is located on the main road but it isn't busy.The nearby lighthouse is okay, the lighthouses at Sumburugh head and Bressay are better.

We stopped here for a late lunch on a quiet day. The food was good, tea hot and just right... and the view outside something special.Outside Lerwick, cafes in the Shetlands are few and far between so they could get away with average service. This one excels.

Spotless cafe. Friendly staff. Delicious cakes and scones. Reasonable price. Stunning view from large bay window out over the water.

Siamo capiti in questo bel ristorante per caso mentre esploravamo il selvaggio Nord delle Shetland. Posto pulito e bello con spettacolari vedute del Loch e delle scogliere.piatti abbondanti tipici e buoni . Personale molto gentile e preparato il tutto ad un costo contenuto

This is a clean, spacious and well-managed restaurant in a fantastic scenic location. We popped in for lunch and chose from a wide-ranging menu. For mains we had chicken breast with mushrooms and breaded haddock followed by strawberry meringue. A very nice meal indeed.

Bright and sunny on the day we were there, with spectacular views of the ocean. It was just a tea-and-scone stop, but the atmosphere (clean and bright) and the service (friendly and fast) were wonderful.

Siamo stati ieri in questo delizioso ristorante. Eravamo di passaggio siccome dovevamo andare a visitare Eshaness. Ci siamo fermati per pranzo. Abbiamo mangiato molto bene e per prezzi molto convenienti. Dal fuori il posto non è molto invitante ma dentro è davvero splendido con una vista spettacolare! Anche il servizio toilets è molto pulito.Lo consiglio!v

We have been here twice for coffees and scones to visit Eshaness where there's fantastic walks on the coast. The drinks and scones are excellent and are served at a good price. The restaurant is very bright and has an inviting atmosphere.The restaurant is also part of a small camp site on an extraordinary location of the Shetland Islands.

We were on our way to Eshaness which is FANTASTIC and this was perfect picturesque stop off spot. We had soup and meat platter and fish and chips . It was OK, not the greatest but very passable. Service good. Loos clean. Nice things for sale

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.

My favourite views in Shetland seeing 'Da Drongs', on a lovely sunny day it's great walking doon to the beach. 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. Great gift shop also in the cafe. Also great area for caravans, tents and Wigwams to stay in.

Ordered a simple meal of quiche, chips and salad. It was perfect. The chips were crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside and not greasy at all. The salad was beautifully presented and the quiche was full of flavour. The best meal I had while in Shetland. Fantastic view and friendly staff added to the experience. Highly recommended.

coffee stop en route to Eashaness, and boy was it needed, piping hot coffee, hot chocolate and fabulous home bakes, all served with the Shetland smile and style, it was quite difficult to leave and brave the elements outside

We parked our camper an here for the night and visited the cafe for lunch. Lovely views all round with tables and soft chair seating areas plus some good quality gifts if required. Crab salad was huge and very tasty.Will return one day to both the site and cafe .

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.

We came here for Sunday dinner for a family birthdayPleased we had booked as it was very busyLovely food, great choiceHope to visit again soon The chicken wrapped in bacon was deliciousthe rest of our group has the roast beef which was also fab, great to see local produce on the menu

Heading for the Eshaness sea cliffs we stopped at the cafe for a toilet break and a quick cuppa - and the view is not half bad either.

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.

La verdad que cuando te acercas parece un garito más de carretera, pero cuando pruebas esa deliciosa hamburguesa con esa deliciosa carne de ganado autóctono... Unos postres buenisimos y preciosas vistas a los acantilados de Esha Ness.

This was our lunch break on a tour we took. They had sandwiches, soup and tea ready for us. The soup was very good and the tea was welcoming as it was a cold windy day. Service was friendly. The view was gorgeous, such a shame we had bad weather.This place also has a campsite, showers and laundry. Plenty of parking.

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.

Stayed in the wigwams with a friend and bairns, brilliant experience, breakfasts were delicious from the cafe, staff are very polite and helpful. Will definitely recommend to family and friends

We arrived just as the scones came out of the oven. Wonderful. A good cup of tea. Lovely views good service.

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?

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.

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.

A fantastic cafe. After a walk around the stunning cliffs this is a great place for a refreshment. Friendly staff. Clean. Great views, yummy cakes.

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.

Stayed in one of the wigwams for one night and eat in the cafe. Great views, lovely food and nice people here.

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.

The cafe has amazing views over the Drongs and Braewick bay. On a nice day the views are simply stunning!! I had the cream of cauliflower soup which was really tasty and very reasonably priced! The bowl of ice cream was too good to resist too!The toilets are open 24/7 which are very handy too!

What a stunning view, worth a meal here for that alone. Truly wonderful, and the food thankfully was just as good. As was the friendly service from the staff. Highly recommended along with a trip up to eshaness

We had a memorable breakfast here, one of those rare impromptu moments that paid off.Arrived here very early and they had just opened up. Had a beautiful fresh bacon and egg roll and a great mug of coffee, which we ate overlooking the sea.Very good service, tasty food, fab view and clean loos,wonderful!

Popped in for lunch on a beautiful Saturday in early May. You certainly can't complain about the view which is stunning. We were just looking for a snack so went for the lentil soup which was delicious. Coffee was also very good. Free wifi and toys and books for kids.

Great views, even on a dull day across the bay to Da Drongs ! We stopped for lunch. Very friendly staff, locals were also in the cafe which manages to be a coffee shop, cafe and restaurant. A good atmosphere and our food was very nice. Much of the food on offer is local, some including the beef from their own farm.

Brae wick Cafe is in a beautiful location with stunning views over the Drongs.Whether you come for a coffee or lunch you get a good welcome and good food.

The day we went unfortunately it was thick mist so there was no view but we had been before and know that it is fabulous. We had tea and scones and they were really good and fresh. The staff were really friendly. The meals that were on the special board looked really appetising. Will visit again.

This review is of the Cafe but also the Campsite, where we stayed for a week this August. With the most stunning views of the Drongs, in this remote, beautiful, picturesque location, what more could you ask for?! We were even lucky with 6 and a half days of sunshine out of 7. The campsite is quite basic compared to some, basically a large carpark with hook ups and grass and Wigwams surrounding it, but views to die for! It also has all the facilities you could ask for,hot showers, clean toilets, washing up area, washing machine and tumble dryer. We only ate in the cafe one night when Christine was hosting a "seafood night!" (cafe normally only open during the day). Food was fantastic!! Chocolate and baileys cheesecake to die for!!! Additionally I might add that Christine who runs / owns the show is fantastic, very accommodating and helpful, felt very welcomed. As we did by all Shetlanders we met, and there were quite a few on site - lots of families were up from Lerwick for the weekend. Overall a very wonderful experience, many happy family memories have been made here!

A great place to stop of lunch or a drink on the way to Eshanes. Sit in the bright cafe and stare out of the windows at the amazing views.

Found this place by accident, but my goodness what amazing food! A lot of the food comes from the local area, including the beef. The beef was so delicious, I was upset when I finished my lunch! The staff were friendly, and the cafe's location is fabulous! Beautiful view looking out to sea. Can't wait to have an excuse to return. Worth a visit!

Looked most unpromising from the outside, but the location meant that beggars couldn't be choosers so in we went. We were pleasantly surprised. Food obviously locally based and prepared to order. We had late lunch snacks, but there was no problem with the time and service very good. Try the burger: definately home made. Ploughmans was interesting, but a bit meat heavy and the roll not the freshest, but chutney good. I think the view might be outstanding, but obscured by mist when we visited, but this just made the atmosphere more welcoming in such a remote spot.

We stopped of here for a coffee and came back for lunch another day. If your in the area there isn't much choice but you should be happy with the service and the food here.And the view is really good

We got here in time for breakfast at 10.30 on a Saturday before going on around Eshaness and area - and really enjoyed; the very clean facilities, the great views along the cliffs and the friendly service. We had a cooked breakfast, with the Shetland 'Saucermeat' slice (like Lorne sausage but a bit denser). All their produce is their own, or sourced locally - and it was all fresh and tasty - lovely rich golden egg yolks. Breakfast came with toast and was good value at around £5. The general snack menu is simple and basic, but if it all tastes as good as breakfast - worth a visit.

I stopped here as part of my day trip to Eshaness for lunch and because I'd seen it on the webcam so many times. The views are stunning and I love the map table outside. The toilets are lovely and clean too, as is the cafe. However the food is very expensive. I asked for a plain cheese sandwich and as it came with salad (most of which I can't eat) I asked if I could have chips INSTEAD which the lady informed me I could. The bread was rather dry and there wasn't a great deal of cheese in the middle. When I went to pay I discovered I was charged over £4 for a cheese sandwich (worth about 50p) AND too for the chips that I was told would be INSTEAD of the salad...at no point was I told they would be charged for as well as the sandwich. I have never been charged for anything in a cafe that I've had *instead* of something else. The chips were rather greasy too. All in all I felt very ripped off and not sure I would go back although there isn't really much choice in that area. Worth stopping for the loos and views though!

Although the mileage was very, very distant, my family and I went to stop for a coffee break after a 2 hour drive from Lerwick to Eshaness. Our stomachs were grumbling so much that even the sights of food made us starve.My sister and I had chocolate fudge cake and it was really nice, my parents had walnut cake and they thought it was delicious; especially with a heartwarming coffee and tea. It did make our day as we were cold and the weather was bad but a matter of fact, I'd like to come back there for lunch instead.

The food is excellent and very well priced. However, the menu at night and at lunch time is not very extensive at all. The service was fine, no complaints really. The cafe itself is lovely inside and the views from the windows are gorgeousz

The food at the cafe is nice - especially when they have specials on. Nice and friendly staf, great views and internet.

Waited almost an hour for our food and when it arrived it was no more than acceptable. The lady in charge apologised for the delay explaining there was a shortage of staff as they had been quiet so she had reduced the staffing levels.
