Seaboard Memorial Hall Cafe in Highland

We were told about this place by a local shopkeeper, and it didn't disappoint. It was busy with local folk (always a good sign), and the food was well priced and very tasty. My wife's tomato soup and my macaroni cheese were both excellent. And the cakes are to die for!

Regular lunch/coffee stop when we’re in the area. Great food, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. Good community hub and the gift shop is stocked with nice items too.

Was lovely to find a restaurant that caters for gluten free food. It is in a lovely big centre, which was full of locals (always a good sign). With good views out of the windows. The Mermaid statue is on the beach near here. I enjoyed a gluten free bacon sandwich. A section of their menu is marked as gluten free, have attached a photo. Staff were very welcoming.

We have visited this cafe several times. The staff are always so helpful and kind. The quality of the food is superb. Prices very fair.

Had a lovely meal here. Couldn't fault a thing even the weather was perfect and the view was spectacular. Well worth a visit.

What a superb service offered by the community of Balintore, overnight parking, showers, toilets, laundry and more, all for a donation. Of course if the weather is good you’ve got fantastic views across the ocean. The area is well kept, great local pub & restaurant, friendly locals too. I really hope visitors respect this wonderful service and everyone who uses it leaves a donation.

Called in for a mid morning coffee and snacks, an absolute gem of a cafe, lovely staff, great food and drink.

Always a welcome at the door Always good fresh food on the plate Always excellent baking - Rhubarb and Custard cake delicious.

Went here twice for lunch and enjoyed both times Friendly staff and couldn't be more helpful. Delicious food and cakes. A great place to sit and enjoy the view, we sat outside both times.

Although we didn’t eat in the cafe we were very grateful to find a stop as part of the Highland Comfort Scheme! To the right of the cafe there is a small comfort stop with a toilet, shower, washer and dryer. The stop runs off the respect of the customers and allows use of the facilities for a very small price. An excellent find on our NC500 trip!

A great little community cafe in this small seafront village Great value and excellent service Staff and clients all very friendly and welcoming

We stopped at the Seaboard Cafe and had a bite to eat before strolling down to see the Mermaid of the North on the rocks. Service was friendly and the food was wholesome - just what the doctor ordered.

Family midweek lunch. Fantastic find. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive and friendly. The food was brilliant and excellent value for money. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Can’t wait to visit again.

Staying in Balintore for a few days we decided to go for lunch after a walk to the Fyrish Monument. We were given a friendly greeting and had a delicious lunch followed by cake and the best coffee I have had locally. Very reasonably priced and would highly recommend.

We stopped here for lunch after visiting the mermaid. What luck, this is an excellent cafe. The staff couldn't be more helpful, the food was great and large portions. We had soup, sandwiches and coffee. All very good and filling. Also offers a nice view out to sea.

Keep going back for lunch. Good food, friendly staff, reasonable price and stunning view. Good home cooked food.

Great value for money. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It is a busy little place popular with locals and visitors, booking for lunch is probably a good idea.

Had coffee and cake on one occasion and then lunch another day. The chocolate cake was delicious and the quiche excellent. All the staff were super friendly and really seemed to go out their way to make us feel welcome. A lovely place.

Not the nicest latte tbh. Staff friendly and polite though. The coffee 'base' was just too strong with a bitter aftertaste

Nice little seaside cafe with delicious meals. Kids playground nearby. So very family friendly !!!!!

This is a lovely cafe with friendly staff and the coffee is exceptional. The view across the water is great and there are binoculars on the tables. Definitely somewhere to call in ?

As part of our outreach to our communities, the Rotary Club of Tain and Easter Ross held our first lunchtime meeting at the Seaboard Café on 25th April. We had a wide choice of lovely food to eat from snacks to full main courses. The atmosphere was great with families and visitors elsewhere in the café and we really enjoyed our first visit there, so much so we go back this Thursday.

We arrived at the Cafe wet and cold on Wednesday. We were quite a big group of soggy cyclists who were being joined by friends including one in a wheelchair. Although we destroyed the seating arrangements we were immediately made to feel very welcome and were incredibly well looked after. Coffees, teas, bacon rolls and cakes were all marvellous and extremely welcome given the terrible conditions outside. This cafe is highly recommended.

Great setting opposite the shore. Great Hall complimented by the equally great cafe. Nice food with nice friendly service. Good prices.

First visit to the cafe nit knowing what to exist, a light roomy cafe with choice of tables from two to large groups obviously popular as several tables reserved. A menu offering a varied choice if soup, sandwiches, paninnis, baked potatoes and main meals. The tomato soup was delicious think and filling, the toasted sandwiches came with crisis and salad. Choice if coffees, teas, and juices. Very friendly and efficient staff, easy parking and with views looking out over the sea what more could you ask for.

Popped in here after a local walk. The kids ordered cake and hot chocolate. The drinks were amazing!

Sitting in the Seaboard Cafe sipping at my coffee and enjoying a very generous homemade scone with blackcurrant jam with lovely company was just a real joy. We reminisced of times spent in the Seaboard as youth and how this whole peninsula has so much to offer the tourist, little gems to discover such as the Pictish Stones, Tabat Discovery Centre and so much more - the Cafe was just the ticket their food is really good quality food and the staff are so helpful.

After taking our car through the Seaboard villages, we decided to stop at the Seaboard Café for lunch. We had heard good reports and we were not disappointed.

We popped across the ferry from Cromarty and had a look at this little awesome cafe whilst visiting the beach. Great food nice decent amounts and super tasty, absolutely great choice. Couldn't recommend it more!

Small and friendly with good quality food. Not expensive and very busy...book or go early to ensure you get a table.

Staying with a friend in bailitore and went fo a meal here,what a surprise very village orientated special offers for senior citizens,must visit

Called in yesterday (Saturday) for a snack to eat in the car while waiting for time to go to our accommodation. I had the minestrone soup which was so thick with vegetables you could stand a spoon up in it, this came with a warm whole meal roll both were very tasty and excellent value for money. My husband had a cheese and ham sandwich which came with side salad garnish this was so large he had trouble finishing it. All in all very tasty, good value, friendly staff and will be back again and again

We had a great value for money meal here, great portions for low prices and good quality produce. There is loads of historical information in the cafe’s foyer where you can learn about the area, and the Mermaid scultpure on the shore is really cool. Definitely worth a visit.

Vacations can get very expensive so we were thrilled to find some good but inexpensive restaurants in Scotland. The Seaboard Cafe is one of those "great find" places that offer simple food, that tastes great, at a reasonable price. We were sightseeing around the coast near Portmahomack when we passed this cafe. We were with friends from the area who had never eaten there before. It was a cool but pleasant day so we chose to eat outside. The service was friendly and food was simple but very good. It as nice to be able to enjoy a leisurely lunch by the sea.

This is a fabulous community cafe. Food is excellent and it enjoys fab views. People are really friendly.

Had lunch here whilst visiting the area. Staff were welcoming and friendly and the food was cooked/prepared to order and very good value. A great asset in a small seaside village

Excellent food and genuinely friendly service. The Seaboard Cafe is part of an exciting local Community Hub and provides a gold Mine of local information.

Este café tiene vistas al mar desde las ventanas. El aparcamiento es fácil, justo al otro lado de la carretera. Llevar bien servido, así como tartas, etc. Los precios son muy razonables. Cierra a las 2. 30:00 h. Si estás haciendo la NC 500 vale la pena hacer un desvío de pocos kilómetros para visitar los pueblos de la costa y este café. Verá la piedra shandwick cerca y pictish con frecuencia se pueden encontrar delfines y focas y vainas en ocasiones de ver ballenas nadando junto a la costa mientras munch almuerzo.

Tres de nosotros llamamos aquí a las 12 del mediodía para almorzar, tres comidas diferentes, todo perfecto. Estupenda relación calidad-precio en una gran ubicación, fácil aparcamiento. Yo iría bien fuera de mi camino de nuevo. Buena suerte a todos el personal amable para lo que debe ser la experiencia culinaria más agradable que he tenido en mucho tiempo.

Just a lovely community hall with cafe and stunning views over the sea. You can sometimes see dolphins swimming past. Soup amazing, proper home made. Basic but tasty meals. Good value. Lovely staff. Highly recommend.

A lovely cafe in a lovely location. Very popular busy place. Meals arrived quickly and were excellent, great value too.

Estuvimos aquí en el camino hacia el aeropuerto para tomar un café. No podía olvidar las vistas impresionantes. El café era muy sabroso y de buena calidad, y el servicio era rápido y amable. Volveremos pronto.

Cómodamente en un día frío caliente. Muebles de calidad. En el mostrador de servicio de orden, entonces el servicio agradable camarera después.

Visited many times over the last 6 months and have never had bad food. Excellent choice, special offered daily and 'Pensioners' get reduced rates two days per week.Service is always quick and pleasant and 'Jess' never fails to have a laugh and a kind word for her customers.If you haven't visited then this is well worth a 'wee' visit if your in the area.

Great homemade meals. The macaroni is a favourite of mine. The staff are always very helpful & cheerful. The cafe is only opened Tuesday to Friday.

We are frequent visitors to the area and we often enjoy a Lunch in this community cafe. Soups are good and home made and although the menu is limited the product is very good. Perfect lunch fare served by local ladies.

Visit the Seaboard Hall on a regular basis with family and friends have never been disappointed. Food is well cooked and presented to a good standard with excellent choices and variety. Good atmosphere and always someone around to have a chat with. Parking easy. Views are spectacular and in the summertime good chance of seeing some Dolphins. Play area for smaller children and tennis courts in close proximity. Enjoy walk along sea front then pop in for lunch.

The food is home cooked and superb.There is an ongoing menu plus daily specials .It is particularly popular on tuesdays and fridays when they do a senior citizen special .£7:00 for a two course lunch plus tea or coffee.The sevice is good and the serving staff still have time to talk to you.I would thoroughly reccommend it

I would not go out of my way to visit here again very dull food it seems to be to someones like as often busy i had the soup but she could not tell me if it was vegetarian or not as not sure what the stock was made with also not sure if the chips are cooked in lard or oil

This is a hidden gem, a lovely spot for hearty food overlooking the sea. Friendly staff and home cooking in a beautiful location. What more could you want?

Afternoon soup and sandwiches function on this occasion, but the venue is one that we've used in the past for a successful wedding reception. A very popular location much used by both locals and visitors, and the fact that the locals use it so extensively tells its own very positive story. Soup was delicious and sandwiches and cakes excellent. Service was excellent. Excellent car park directly opposite -- absolutely no problem with parking. Highly recommended.

Pretty good. budget cafe with a lovely view. :) Nice location, friendly staff and okay food. Great for the older generations. Not necessarily the place you want to take your friends but maybe your nan.

I often come here with family when visiting up North & I always enjoy the food here :) Great wee selection to choose from at a decent price, with friendly staff & a stunning view! :)

On the last Friday of the month the cafe sell take away fish and chips which are really delicious and to be recommended, very reasonably priced, not greasy and plenty of it. To be recommended.

Park opposite. Inside there is such a surprise. Great place for kids and couples. Food is fresh with specials every day. Talk about value for money. Yes, it is basic furniture but thought has gone into it. There's a sofa and chairs at one end so if all you fancy is a coffee, a read and a view of the sea you can have it. I would definitely go back. Love Prawn Marie Rose baked potato,

We found this place by chance when looking for public toilets. We had an excellent lunch at very reasonable prices, everyone was warm and friendly and we would eat here again when next in the area.

I found this cafe by chance whilst cycling from John O'Groats to Lands End. It was one of the stand out places in 3 weeks on the road. Good food and a beautiful spot.

Beautiful setting with very welcoming, friendly staff.Lovely lunch at a reasonable prices. Lots of choice as well as specials on the menu.

Wanted to review this as it is a little gem of a place worth a visit. Not a huge menu but everything very tasty and lovely home made soup. Lovely views outside and staff very pleasant. Worth a stop off but please note not open on Monday so never got in this visit much to our disappointment - web page needs updating with this information.
