Smoked Haddock with poached egg [see photo] was my favorite breakfast of the whole trip! Superb! Update: Attached photo - I still dream about this perfectly poached egg with smoked salmon and often try to recreate it, but Wick's is still the best!

The staff here are incredibly friendly and helpful, which makes for a great experience. Lovely ambiance and best food we had in Caithness area rounded out a very good evening. Have to say, the food was not as good as we’ve had in Edinburgh, but well presented and good flavour combinations. For example, the duck and lentils dish was tasty, but duck was over cooked. The pan fried sea bass didn’t have a lot of flavour. The pear and almond tart was delicious.

The food was excellent here. However, I had to question the bill, I was told I was right and much scurrying ensued. They then came back and asked me which items I was questioning, instead of having checked the bill thoroughly themselves for mistakes. My advice is eat here, but make a note of all the prices when ordering and then check your bill when it arrives.

Look, things happen... Sometimes places lose a reservation for 6...but.nonptoblem fit No.1 Bistro! Lovely, chatty staff and excellent, perfectly portioned food. I had the gin salmon to start followed by traditional haddock and chips. And a truly casual remark by one our party about my favourite wife's birthday tomorrow saw a chocolate inked 'happy birthday' plate inhabited by truly stunning white and milk chocolate cubes. Ot was a Monday night in the restaurant so not that busy with atmosphere but that was a big plus for us Sassanachs. Highly recommended (and check your booking!)

The evaluation of the food is strictly based on what I ate, of course. Strangely enough 🤔, we go in for lunch and are told "CLOSED" and show us other fast food outlets in the area. We go out, check the directions on our inseparable cell phone, and realize that the restaurant opened after 1 minute. After retracing our steps, we sat down and were greeted by a gruff but friendly waiter.

Very charming "old style" hotel restaurant. I got a seat in the bar (with a dog under the table) and was served and looked after excellently. The dog too 🙂. The menu was varied and the food was excellent and the workers were very humorous. I had Cullen Skink (very tasty) as a starter, then a great risotto with peas and fried cabbage. Chokeberry crumble for dessert was almost too much, but who can resist that? Highly Recommended! 🙂👍😎

Stayed in Wick as part of our drive on NC500. Booked in advance. When we arrived found out booking was 30 min earlier but we’re still given a table. The food was very good. Once again we shared some starters, and mins ere excellent. The only downside for us was the service was slow. It toll a long time to get the bill at end even though we asked more than once. I sla was disappointed in beer selection which did not have any craft beers to try.

The restaurant is located in a hotel. Clear number of tables, which is pleasant. The meal was okay. The steaks were cooked to perfection. Unfortunately, the garlic sauce was missing from one steak. The double burgers tasted very dry, the meat was not juicy. And there was hardly any of the secret sauce, so much more should have been smeared on the bun. Unfortunately the fries had been fried too short. It's a shame because we were really looking forward to visiting this restaurant. The service was friendly

Called to book and the woman asked for Full name, mobile number and FULL credit card details including CVV. Felt like an extreme breach of privacy for that much detail for a booking. I understand restaurants would get frustrated with no-shows; but just give the table up if you’re busy and someone doesn’t show. To ask for full credit details is to ask the customer “Would you rather risk losing a table at our restaurant or losing control of your bank card?” Sorry No 1 bistro; I’m sure your food is good but not worth losing all our savings!

There are many positives about this bistro…friendly staff, attractive decor and not too many tables so the noise level doesn’t get too loud. The menu is varied and there’s a very good choice. The specials menu also has some good options. The presentation of the food is very pleasing to see when it appears in front of you and overall we had an enjoyable meal. Several things could have improved our experience however - the temperature in the restaurant was a little cold, only one piece of bread was given to each person which seemed a little frugal, the food was a little overcooked and there was no way enough custard served with my apple crumble dessert (literally only a few spoonfuls). Servers also really should try to focus on looking after one table at a time (not picking items up from your table whilst taking to the guests on the next table then putting them down again without acknowledging you because they’re busy taking with said guests). So overall, it was ‘ok’. Would I return here? Probably not, but it wasn’t a bad meal, I just wouldn’t recommend it.

Unfortunately a disappointment. I ordered a steak medium and received a very well done steak. The chips were tasty but nothing special. The salad that came with it was a joke. Three leaves of lettuce, two slices of cucumber and a little pepper and without dressing. This was very dry. And this for £29 Just saw on the receipt that the pepper sauce was charged extra. So for £29 I get a piece of meat with a bit of chips and two mushrooms and a bit of rabbit food. My wife's food was not good either.The meat was burnt oh no burnt. The cook should also have known or seen that the meat was burnt. And the portion was really far too little, a piece of meat of about I estimate 60 g, three asparagus and then a vague bun with Mouse that should have also contained meat. Then a tip for the operation. The waiter who had helped us and given us the menu later also served other guests. They immediately received a drink that they had probably ordered. We had been waiting for 20 minutes with the card he had given us to choose a menu. I then looked for the waiter myself but couldn't find him. A colleague then took him over. We then reported this to the staff and asked if she could pass this on to the chef. We weren't interested in a discount or anything or money back. This does not mean that everything is bad in this restaurant. I saw tasty looking dishes coming from other tables. All in all a disappointment.

We came here for dinner on Sun 20th and had a lovely meal. Could not fault the food, green veg cake to start followed by monkfish and scallops and salmon, asparagus and creamed potatoes. Service was also good with no waiting to speak of. And the orange sorbet to finish was a delight. Just a comment on some of the other poor reviews, Covid has stopped all music from being played at ANY venue in Scotland thus you cannot really expect an atmosphere. I would also agree that the bar area, rather than the restaurant area is rather bland if you have to eat there. All of this is could be sorted with a lick of paint/new wallpaper and maybe an update to the light fittings etc. , which is still a bit 80’s. However, none of this detracted from a great evening my wife and I had here.

Very disappointing. Ordered monk fish and scallops. Not quite the most expensive thing on the menu but near enough. Considering Wick is on the coast i would expect this to be a lot better than it was. 2 tiny scallops which were overcooked and the monkfish was tiny and so overcooked it was like eating cottonwool. The dauphinoir potatos were not great and i thought they normally had cream in them. The brocolli was rock hard. The one carrot was nice though.

Food was good except for deserts, service was good, everyone very pleasant. Unfortunately we booked a table at the Bistro No 1 and were given a table in MacKays hotel bar. The management appear to think this is acceptable due to COVID 19 restrictions. It is not. The bar has no atmosphere and is not a nice environment to eat in. Prices are the same but it is a very different experience, trust me. If you have booked the Bistro call and ensure that is what you will get. Where else is it acceptable to book a table and be asked to eat elsewhere. It is a clear deception, do not be fooled and disappointed as we were.

I had noted we had booked a table for 8pm back in early August but, on arrival, there was no record of our booking. We were then accommodated in the bar which was ok. Waiting staff generally cheery. Fortunately we decided not to have starters (at about £11 each) and plumped for the monk fish and scallops for £21.95 each, a small piece of monkfish and 2 scallops. Again, fortunately, we decided just to have a glass of two different wines rather than a bottle. The food was quite good but over priced and was cold, and served on cold plates. We had to ask for cutlery. The wine tasted very cheap when we had paid more than £12 for two glasses

Dinner at No 1 Bistro - booked a table here after reading the good reviews on trip advisor Sadly - the food didn’t live up to my expectations .... and the atmosphere in the restaurant is just plain odd- I’ll rephrase that ..there IS no atmosphere. The smoked fish starter was 2 tiny pieces of smoked mackerel, 2 small pieces of hot smoked salmon and a couple of slices of smoked salmon curled into a flower shape ! No lemon or bread to accompany the starter and the cost ... £10.50 Our main courses were ok ...but nothing spectacular ...Pan fried salmon ....clearly hadn’t seen a frying pan ....lacklustre and pale and soggy skin ...yuk . My pork tenderloin as advertised on the menu was not a fillet of pork at all but a pork chop !Staff are wearing black face masks but they are all too large so they keep slipping down their faces and this makes them touch their mask to push it up repeatedly. No one even asked if our meal was ok at any time during the evening .....and I have to say we were glad to pay and leave and just get out of this sad sad restaurant. Certainly wouldn’t recommend

Nice food and very well cooked and presented. Potions are meagre so don’t expect to be satisfied if used to bistros elsewhere. A Covid system is in operation but staff were not very engaging seemed bored and were wearing masks below nose around the bar area where we were sat

I noticed the fish dishes on the menu online and just had to make a booking. This wasn't my first visit however the first one under new COVID -19 guidelines. The food was amazing from the smoked fish starter to the scallops and chocolate fondue desert we enjoyed every mouthful. We visited on a Saturday evening, the restaurant was full however not crowded. You are completely at ease with this dining experience. We were delighted to see the Hotel had signed up for the eat out help out scheme, so returned again to get the discounted meal and once again support the Hotel. It was still the same excellent service and food all delivered to the table by polite, attentive staff. Well done for taking the time to fill in the paperwork and allow locals and visitors the opportunity to have a discounted meal to reward their support. Not all local establishments have taken this offer up to pass on to their patrons which is a shame. I cannot recommend a visit highly enough.Keep up the good work Ellie, Murray Jen and staff your efforts to give an excellent dining experience are not unnoticed .

Great to see this local restaurant busy after the pandemic. Definitely need to book - we called on the day and managed to get an early dinner. Interesting menu with something for everyone and would agree with other reviewers that it’s good value considering the quality and other restaurants around.We had a smoked fish starter then for mains went for pork and a fish dish - both lovely flavours and nice touches like the black pudding mash. Cheese board to finish was great - all lovely local ones and a huge portion with enough cheese for two.Pleasant service with staff all following the Covid guidelines. Only 4 stars as a couple of the dishes served differed slightly from menu and we weren’t told beforehand. However, we were won over and didn’t mention it as food was lovely.

We had a meal with friends. My husband had the scallops which were lovely. All the main meals were very good and the desert wonderful. The service was very good and we felt very safe.

We visited as a family for dinner having booked online. All the staff were extremely friendly and the service faultless. Every course was delicious and it was one of those times when you are sorry for the course to finish. Thoroughly recommend you visit Bistro No 1 on your visit to Wick. Comparatively the price of the meals and quality of food with other restaurants in the area makes this establishment good value for money.

First meal out after lockdown and couldn’t have been nicer. Warm welcome, plenty of safety measures in place to make you feel comfortable, friendly service and some very tasty dishes. You could see that the whole team we’re taking so much care to look after their guests.

Booked a table for an evening meal. Food and service were excellent. Friendly staff, that ensured we were well looked after. Would definitely visit again, if in the area.

It may look a bit "normal" from the outside, but once inside you'll be instantly charmed. The lady at the reception really made sure everything was perfect, and gave us nice recommendations about walks in the area. The room itself felt really cosy and authentic, with a nice view on the loch. The inside restaurant "The silly goose" is worth the trip by itself, with fresh local ingredients sublimated in a nice modern way by the young kitchen team. Really nice place for a romantic rest during a trip around the Highlands, or as a reward after climbing the Ben Nevis.

We didn’t eat at the restaurant but we we’re lucky enough to have Rupert come and cook for us for our wedding. It was an absolutely amazing display of chef work with a 5 course menu which highlighted the west coasts spectacular produce. Each course was extremely well thought through and we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding meal. Rupert is also a genuinely lovely bloke who is passionate about serving what is local and at its very best. Can’t wait to stop by at the Gorse Bush at the next opportunity.

BEST WESTERN Lochardil House Hotel Restaurantlocation-iconStratherrick RoadOther european cuisines

El Lochardil House Hotel es una base ideal para visitar Inverness y sus alrededores. Está a unos 15 - 20 minutos a pie del centro y no se tarda nada en conducir. El hotel es tranquilo y, aunque no dormía bien, dormí bien. Nuestra habitación era muy grande al igual que el baño y estaba bien equipada para artículos de tocador.Es un hotel bonito y de estilo antiguo con un nuevo bloque de habitaciones (la parte en la que nos alojamos era más moderna).Todo el personal fue muy agradable. Fueron atentos y todos trabajaron arduamente para que su estadía sea agradable.Había muchos protocolos covid para mantener a todos a salvo.El desayuno caliente era bueno, una buena selección de comida.No nos podemos quejar del hotel y con mucho gusto nos alojaríamos aquí de nuevo si estamos en la zona.
