The best restaurants in Black Isle Highland Highlands and Islands

Excellent take away coffee by the Cromarty - Nigg ferry terminal. Lovely to sit outside on the Cromarty Firth. Lovely looking traybakes and cakes too. Very busy. Dog friendly inside.

I love Bakhoos - we live locally and visit regularly and it’s hands down the best pain au chocolat I’ve ever eaten. Everything is delicious and it’s a must visit!

Beautifully located restaurant run by two amazing ladies, was visiting no 19 with my Boss and we tried lunch menu finished by delicious flat white. Everything was fresh and to die for, I also bought two cakes for my boys and they were also impressed with quality and size of tray bakes. Highly recommended.

It is a wonderful and unique Bed & Breakpast. Led by its owner, a strong, inspiring and energetic woman. The place is wonderful, surrounded by nature and in an enclave of tranquility. An unforgettable peace is felt inside. The room was beautiful, the entire house is taken care of down to the smallest detail. Its owner is very friendly, knowledgeable about the area and she always has very good suggestions. She is clearly a lover of nature and practices sustainability in establishing it. I highly recommend it and without a doubt I will return. (Spanish) Es Un maravilloso y único Bed & Breakpast. Liderado por su propietaria, una mujer fuerte, inspiradora y enérgica.

La habitación era preciosa, toda la casa está cuidada hasta el más mínimo detalle. Su propietaria es muy amable, conocedora de la zona y siempre tiene muy buenas sugerencias. Es claramente una amante de la naturaleza y pone en práctica la sostenibilidad en su establecimiento. Lo recomiendo al máximo y sin lugar a dudas volveré.

Delicious food and reasonable prices. Will come back again for sure

Whenever we're in the area we pop in here.

Tucked away in the sleepy Black Isle coastal village of Fortrose IV10 is an unexpected pleasure. Small from the outside it’s deceptively large and once you open the door it’s a feast for the eyes, nose and mouth. So many amazing dishes and they truly tantalise the tastebuds. Most locally sourced, all fresh and seasonal. The service was brilliant the team obviously passionate and took time to explain, chat and make you feel so welcomed. There was food for every palate and every dish was both generous, flavourful and beautifully presented. I cannot recommend IV10 highly enough, go visit. It’s sublime! Oh and they even have a deli. What’s not to love.

It's amazing how you can find pefection in small places like Cromarty, Sutor Creek is amazing, food cooked to perfection, lovely staff and a cracking view had to try the Cullen skink, outstanding is all I can say, had the fish and chips as the main which you could say is run of the mill choice, but when it's cooked right it's awesome, hopefully I will find myself that way again, I will visit, highly recommend.

We enjoyed a really good lunch here. The food was excellent, as was the service - both friendly and efficient. Overall we couldn't fault the experience.

Had a fantastic meal here with my husband. We had the crab claw salad and scallops for starter, both were delicious, followed by the halibut for both of us(recommended by the waiting staff) it was such a great dish, perfect portion size. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The place was busy and has a great atmosphere.

Here is where I discovered Black Isle ice cream. I chose the honeycomb. Wow! It reminded me of Whole Foods 🍯 honeycomb candy chunks blended into a rich, flavorful vanilla ice cream! This little beach ⛱️ cafe overlooks a beautiful beach. It's relaxed and casual. There are chairs and tables, a picnic table and bench located on the outside premises. Later I looked up Black Isle dairy and found Blue Murder blue cheese. What a dedication to the local music firm!

Stopped in on way up north. Well worth a stop

My husband and I went for lunch there after seeing the ‘2 courses for £14’ offer. The menu had plenty of choices of mains, 4 choices of starter and 3 choices of puddings. The service was excellent; our drinks, then our starters came quickly. Our main courses came within 10 minutes of the starters being removed. The food was tasty; had fresh ingredients and the servings were generous. The server was friendly and polite. All in all it was a delightful experience!

Before walking to the Fairy Glen Falls, I visited Crofter's for some tea and cake. A good choice of cake, and really nice too, views out to sea, and a pleasant seating area outside. I sat inside, but as other recent reviews have suggested, service didn't feel particularly friendly, particularly from the staff member initially showing people to their seats. Hopefully this is something they can fix as, otherwise, it was ideal!

We had a lovely trip out to this garden centre today. Beautifully laid out with a great choice of plants. What prompted me to come here and leave a review was the truly excellent staff in the coffee shop. One lady in particular was so warm and welcoming. She obviously has a great rapport with her cafe colleagues too and together they create a fantastic atmosphere to enjoy your treats! Well done folks- you deserve all the acknowledgements and rewards that hopefully come your way. Keep up the high standards!
