The best restaurants in East Sutherland and Edderton Highland Highlands and Islands

Lovely cafe. Very friendly service - cafe was busy but staff were unflustered. Twirl cheesecake was amazing. Lovely coffee too. Highly recommended.

I knew not to expect lobster in November but I’d hoped for langoustines or maybe scallops at a push. Not to worry, haddock tacos sounded great! Love tacos, love haddock, so jumped at them and also ordered a kids fish & chips with a side order of mushy peas. I was the only person in and didn’t particularly enjoy having to listen to the young fella in the kitchen ranting about vegans and vegan food for 10 minutes. I’m clearly not vegan but I wouldn’t have enjoyed hearing rants about anything, especially calling people weirdos and generally being unpleasant. Not a great atmosphere to be waiting in. It was a mixed bag to be honest. The mushy peas were not, they were more of a pea & mint purée, not pleasant. The tacos were surprisingly bland. Of course I wasn’t expecting great Mexican food in a tiny village in the Highlands but I did expect some flavour. Even the fish was unseasoned. Luckily I was taking home and had guacamole and chipotle sauce to hand. The fish was plentiful and perfectly cooked though. And the batter (despite the lack of seasoning) was probably the best I’ve ever had. Light, crispy and golden. The fish and chips were faultless. Not chips as you’d maybe expect from a chippy, more like fries but they were really good and well seasoned. I’d probably have made this a 3.5 but I’m happy to give 4. The young woman serving was really pleasant and helpful and countered the rants from the kitchen (she handled him well too, better than I would have). I’d definitely return and recommend but wouldn’t recommend the tacos.

we enjoyed our one night stay here and would recommend it to anyone. Room and breakfast were perfect.

The cafe was so clean and the food was excellent the girl serving was so nice and very helpful would highly recommend it is a ace not to be missed

Rated 5/5 - utterly superb - great venue, wonderful food and superb service. It was an absolute pleasure to discover this recently opened restaurant that blends quirky surroundings with fantastic dining. I will certainly be returning very soon.

A lovely little bakery in Brora Very helpful & friendly staff Such a choice of pies cakes & bread Very busy little bakery with people queuing for the carpark

We only had drinks but a very quick, efficient and friendly service 🙂

Terrible experience. When I got my order the tray was not closeable, I held the lid shut while waiting for the other order thus burning my hand. I was upset by my chips being exposed and falling out of my tray so I had asked for something larger to contain my chips and had to explain three times why I needed it. I had 2 tiny tubs: one of cheese and one of gravy to go on my chips, which was impossible with the current presentation. To top it off there was a sign saying I should ask; for a fork, salt or vinegar, and when I did was met with an awful attitude suggesting I was stupid as there were forks on the counter and available for me to just take. However the lady I initially spoke with was really nice, so customer service 4/10 - Quality of food 2/10 - Value for Expense 1/10. I regret entering and will never be returning as it has me thinking about my horrible experience even on the next day.

This is a cute restaurant right in the town center area. We went here for lunch and ordered a couple of their specials. The service was quick and the food was very good. This place was recommended by our hotel and I would go here again.

Amazing food, fantastic service! would highly recommend! staff were really helpful had a lovely meal.

Have used Sandstone cafe many times over the years and as usual this time it was a very pleasant experience. Great food, drink and service with a smile. Keep up the good work and see you soon.

Lovely food ,lovely surroundings ,special place. Staff so nice. .Really felt relaxed on comfy sofa and just enjoyed the fabulous fruit scone.

The curry I had here was amazing. Restaurant was spotless. Quick service highly recommend will be back soon Even toilets were spotless

Just popped in for lunch at Poppy's. Excellent menu, I had what was obviously homemade cauliflower cheese soup with Tiger bread (which the waitress kindly changed for brown with no fuss. Others in our party had a jacket potato with beans, a beef and horseradish s/w and an egg mayo s/w made with freshly boiled eggs. The food was so fresh and delicious. I can highly recommend, please use this great local business

Been a few times even last week. The usual cheer male staff member barely spoke and just mumbled the bare minimum. Told him I had an egg allergy then be served a breakfast which was obviously cooked in same pan as eggs. Lucky we noticed the egg white all over bacon and black pudding. NOT ACCEPTABLE. Staff needs up to date allergy training. Allergies can kill.
