The best restaurants in Highlands and Islands

Absolutely superb. Hot smoked salmon starter was one of the best I’ve had, and the venison main also fantastic. However, the wonderful, relaxed atmosphere and great staff elevate this place still further. Brilliant. Worth a detour.

Lovely kind staff and food was amazing! Anytime I come up north now, my son expects me to take him. It’s a really fantastic place. Also, they have a gorgeous dog!

Très bien situé personnel accueillant et on a beaucoup apprécié les raviolis aux crabes avec coquille saint jacques et morue

This Subway has always been great; extremely friendly customer service, great food (sandwiches at other Subway’s are usually a bit burnt) and just an overall friendly Subway. However, since last year, this Subway has been closed; every time we walk by it is always empty, as in lights never on, same drinks left in fridge ect. You know it’s been closed a while when you see COVID guidelines telling you to wear a mask and that it’s mandatory; as well as other posters and such laying all over the floor. When searched on Google, it says “Temporarily closed”, however, it’s been well over a year at this point and it shows no signs of re-opening. We know some of the people who uses to work there and they just said that it’s “closed”. It’s a shame; the Subway should be sold if they don’t want to maintain or open it. Here’s to hoping that we ever see Subway Aviemore open again — I’m hoping 🤞

¡El mejor pan de ajo que hemos probado! Un tipo súper amable trabajando allí. ¡Gran pizza! Los precios son muy justos. Muy recomendable!

We went to Catch79 last night with our friend for a meal, as she has eaten here on a number of occasions. This however was our first time to this restaurant, on entry you could see that it was busy and had a more upmarket feel to it. My friend had the lobster mac and cheese with salad , my wife had the halibut steak in a sauce and I had their version of surf and turf. Prior to our main courses arriving we all received a muse bush which was a small glass of seafood type soup can’t remember exactly what was in it unfortunately. Our main dishes on arrival were very well presented and very tasty, the restaurant isn’t cheap by any means but the quality of food is excellent with the freshest of seafood being the order of the day. To finish of our meal my wife and I had the mini mince pie ice cream sundae , and our friend had the Lemon tart with a coconut sour cream .

Drove from an hour away on a sightseeing day only to have owners say there is no restaurant here. So then had to drive back the other way to go to our second choice restaurant.

Wonderful breakfast, great service and a warm and friendly welcome.Quality of food is excellent including the home baked bread. Spotlessly clean, looking forward to seeing you again soon!

We ordered two pizza for collection and bake at home on 31st Dec and Phillipa could not have been more helpful. Pizzas were ready at the arranged time and they tasted superb! Great toppings and pizza base was fab. Would highly recommend!

Called as a pitstop on a tour. OMG fabulous coffee and the bakes were amazing. Spoilt for choice as everything looked fantastic and a great view of Eilean Donna!

We always visit Portmahomack on our annual holiday in the Highlands and have enjoyed several visits to the cafe. We found out last year that the cafe had changed hands and have visited again this year. Friendly staff and excellent food so still deserving of 5 stars.

I really can’t say enough wonderful things about Amy’s Place, Alison & Mark and such wonderful people who go over and above for their customers, if it’s just cake you want after exploring the beautiful countryside or sandwiches, soup or one of the other very tasty treats on offer you can’t go wrong Alison very kindly made me a sugar free pudding when Finding out we were coming to stay for a week nearby and she make all the cakes herself and Mark makes a wonderful coffee or drink of your choosing, I really love all the locally sourced treasures that they sell too and find multiple things to take home with us. Mark & Alison also raised over £1800 for MacMillan cancer support charity this year when Alison cut off all her hair, well done Alison you’re amazing. So please stop by and enjoy a tasty treat a drink and two wonderful human beings who run this local business and welcome everyone the same was with a smile and infectious enthusiasm. I can’t wait to visit again.

I was so impressed with this little coffee house. Not only is the coffee great and the cakes delicious, the ambience is both cosy and friendly, and they remembered my name from one visit to the next. I wouldn’t go to Cromarty without going back again.

We had a delicious lunch here, having had a lovely coffee and cake a few days previous. . Friendly staff and tasty food and drinks on both occasions. View from the cafe was beautiful.
