Tarbat Bistro & Bar in Highland

We were delighted to find this was open around 2pm on a Sunday, allowing us to enjoy a tea/coffee and a slice of delicious Carrot Cake before the second stage of our afternoon walk. It's so difficult to find places open in Winter, more so on a Sunday, so we were very grateful. We had a warm welcome, the interior is cosy and comfortable, and you get a lovely view across the greens from the big windows. The food menu looked enticing - with a couple of vegetarian options - so we'd like to pop back one day for a proper meal.

A delightful owner runs an excellent bistro within the premises of the golf club. The food is freshly made to a high standard. There is a good selection on the menu in addition to the daily ‘specials’. My bacon, chicken and cheese sandwich was really tasty and my wife’s Brie, chicken and bacon wrap came with excellent French fries. The service was very friendly and quick and the whole ambience was of a bistro rather than a clubhouse - you did need to pay a £1 membership to cover the legal aspects of using the golf club facilities. Overall it was a great place for lunch - catering for all activities!

Friendly service,great price’s,tasty food,booking a must as very busy wee place,nice to sit outside on a sunny afternoon 5⭐️

Quality bistro with a varied menu. Newly refurbished in a lovey setting overlooking the golf course. The food was excellent; best macaroni cheese ever, home made tartare sauce with the scampi and catering for gluten free need. The coffee is also a highlight if you like string but smooth barista made coffee. Highly recommended and we will definitely go back.

This is the second time we have been at this cafe. First time it said it was open but went there on a Wednesday lunchtime & it closed to public then. Went today - very busy & service slow. Menu on board - the 2 things I would of liked to eat had sold out! So we left. Disappointed in this cafe 😩 what do you think?

What a lively surprise to find this beautiful, super friendly lunch spot after visiting the Tarbat discovery centre. Perfect lunch outside in the sun admiring the view. Fantastic service. Highly recommend.

Cannot rate this place enough!! Beautiful setting, beautiful food and fantastic service. Such an amazing addition to the village for food and drink!

Surprised to find that, despite several signs, there was no coffee nor cake available on a Sunday afternoon. There was the offer of the coffee machine being switched on to provide hot water for tea but with the warning that this would take a while.

Nice food for lunch and small compact place for service. Friendly staff as well.ba variety of options and accommodated small portion sizes.

We enjoyed a late lunch here after golf and a walk to the lighthouse. Very tasty, prawn open sandwiches and a cheese and ham ciabatta both with a good side salad. Cakes brought home for afters too. Thoroughly recommend this little place next to the golf course. Tables inside and out with views over the golf course.

I visited Tarbat & Bistro Bar with my girlfriend for some lunch and it couldn’t have been a better experience! From the super friendly staff, to the amazing food and vibes, there really was no flaws with this place. I ordered the Halloumi Ciabatta and it was easily a 10/10. If you’re ever in Port or passing by, get yourself over to Tarbat Bistro as you won’t regret it!

We arrived late for lunch. Nothing was too much trouble for Granny Anne. Our sandwich was lush and the home bakes were the BEST ever. Donna (owner) is beautiful inside and out. And locals Bob and Scott were so welcoming The golf club made our visit to Portmahomack so special. Thank you ❤️ xx

Staying in the village for the week and saw the signs. Called in for lunch. Lovely food, good portions, very friendly staff. Take home one of the gorgeous home made cakes 👍

We went for the first ever Sunday Lunch at Tarbat Bistro and it was amazing! The roast chicken and beef were cooked perfectly and they were accompanied by all the best trimmings! Other people at my table had the salmon and the risotto which they absolutely loved😍 The brownie was also the best brownie we had ever had! There was nothing but praise for all the food from our table of 8 people😀 It’s a perfect place to have a few drinks at night, food throughought the day or just a coffee and homemade cake. The Bistro itself is also in a beautiful setting overlooking the golf course, with a great atmosphere inside from the locals. The owners who run the Bistro are so welcoming and genuinely lovely people, which has a huge positive effect on the experience of the visit! Portmahomack was missing a place like this and I could not recommend it enough. A little gem in the Highlands of Scotland💎
