The best restaurants in Highlands and Islands

Great food, great staff. Always worth a visit.

Best lunch I’ve eating in Elgin and very affordable

Only found out once on the island that the café was no longer opening for business. Apparently there are still workshops taking place but no drop in cafe

Staff were not interested in the shop. They were rude, not to just us but previous customers. No welcome, no smile, no interaction. We bought venison and it was virtually thrown at us. The two days previous and we had visited the cafe and although the food was good we had finished our food before our drinks arrived. Would not recommend.

Excellent food, highly recommend the Fjara burger. Enjoyed a window table looking towards the sea with a stunning view!

Great soaps. Tragic cafe. Some staff are just lovely. Some exude arrogance.

Lovely little cafe on the waterfront serving beautiful cakes and real tea, served in a tea pot and strainer! Lovely menu, very helpful, friendly staff! Very Welcome on a freezing Tuesday morning as it was warm and cosy inside.

A fantastic evening out at Hou Hou Mei! Our first time visiting and certainly won’t be a our last! You can tell how good somewhere is by how busy they are mid week, and tonight every table was full! The staff were friendly and helpful, and every bit of food was amazing! The Char Sui Pork Belly was out of this world! Throughly recommend!

We stayed at the property for one night and were very happy with everything. The room (double bed) was perfect for our short stay and had everything we needed. The shower was excellent and the bed comfortable. We were upgraded to a Seaview room upon arrival and we really enjoyed the great views of the bay and Inverness. Andrea, our host, gave us a warm welcome and served us a wonderful (cooked) breakfast the next morning. Parking is available on the street right outside the door. So you really don't have to look long here. There is also a lounge with a refrigerator and a winter garden. However, we didn't use this during our stay. We will definitely be happy to sleep here again when planning a trip to Inverness.

The food I have to say is amazing, however it's the rest that let's it down, we were asked to come in half hour earlier than our booking, ...ok fair enough but we were not seated until 40 minutes after arrival, what was the point in asking us to come in early , then the table wasn't ready , they don't serve any form of cider so we had a bottle of red wine which we waited for ever for, it also took forever to be asked what we wanted to eat, given everything is cooked to order that bit didn't take to long and was absolutely amazing, they also add a service charge which they don't tell you about and it's not advertised anywhere, so to sum up the food is amazing but front of house let this place down otherwise it would have had five stars

A great place to rest and eat. Pizza with Black Pudding will remain in your memory forever 😀

Visited in October 2022 and October 2023 and have been daydreaming about the coffee ever since - nothing else has come close!

I had the falafel wrap and a drink. The service was great the staff were very friendly. Unfortunately for me the falafel wrap was lacking a lot of flavour and dry, it could use a bit more in terms of spices and sauce, maybe both tahini and a hummus together, the fresh and pickled vegetables were good. Might be helpful in the future to ask for extra sauce.

Excellent place, a little far away but totally worth it, the food is excellent, the atmosphere and the service too, but if you wear a raincoat if you go on a motorcycle

Lovely meal and excellent service
