The best restaurants in Thurso Highland Highlands and Islands

Great cafe. I had a bacon bun and a pot of tea ( big pot , three mugs ). Nice girls , even charged my phone as I was in a bit of a pickle.

Great locally sourced fish, our menu (fish) options were haddock and monkfish scampi. We both had the haddock & chips and it was lovely. The diner overlooks the ferry terminal so interesting to watch all the comings & goings. An excellent, good value meal. Highly recommend.

Good food at a good price. Order online ahead of time (earlier in the day) and drop by to pick up. Or drop by and order and pick up. It was a pleasant surprise while in town. Places to park by pier, just pull up or walk up and order. Picture shows room to park if needed. Old cafe next door with outside sitting, didn’t look open, so could sit at tables possibly.

Nice food, nice service but a little cold inside to eat

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

Excellent prix fixe menu and fantastic service

Random pub found in Thurso, great atmosphere with billiards and jukebox! (Wide hard rock choice) Friendly waitresses, surely the last address open in Thurso at 11 p.m. in April..

Set menu which didn't disappoint. We've not been for a while but the quality and presentation of our meal was faultless. Beautifully chosen ingredients cooked to perfection. Palate cleanser bursting with flavour. 💜 We even managed the puddings which are not to be missed! Fantastic front of house ladies who could not be more helpful. A truly gorguss experience.

Pleasantly surprised with the food and service supplied by the host Clive,he looked after us and chatted to us like old regulars. Only 5 tables but a lovely experience. Thank you Clive.

Been a few times when on holiday and daughter (3) enjoys it but felt this visit was a bit let down by the scruffy uncleared tables and it felt a bit grubby as there were toys and food everywhere and play area was chaos. A few broken toys and play kitchen lacking items - that area could be improved. Daughter didn’t linger there. It was quite busy but the owner was not around this time and the girls were not massively welcoming or very good at clearing up and people arrived to dirty tables. I tidied up the toy area as the kids could not get through the entrance. If tables are dirty you worry more about general soft play hygiene and it gives a grubby feel. I think there was a bouncy castle upstairs but nobody told us so we were not sure if that was a private party. Didn’t eat as food seemed a bit generic. Could hardly stand at the counter for bikes and toys so just ordered coffee and tea which was fine. (Bigger mugs would be nice though and easier to clear up). Might have had a cake if we could have seen any and if it was homemade. Dont think a baby-cino was available - or a smoothie - could do with some healthier options but was hard to see properly as counter was obstructed by toys. No menu on table. But daughter enjoyed the soft play and it is nice to have somewhere to take her when in town. Would like to try the craft activities in future. She would have enjoyed that.

Having read the reviews I just can't understand where the positives are coming from. I visited tonight with my partner, arriving around 6pm. We were quickly seated and given menus, but that's where the positives end. I was already surprised when I saw that a pint of Coca Cola was £4.50, but I ordered it regardless. I then saw the waitress at the bar pour a Coke and a Diet Coke from already open 2ltr bottles, meaning both drinks were totally flat. £4.50 for a pint of Coke out of a bottle opened the previous day is daylight robbery. We ordered food at the same time as drinks and after an hour and a half wait we walked out. Don't get me wrong, food was flying out the kitchen, all of which was for takeaway orders. What a terrible look for a restaurant leaving seated guests watching for over an hour as takeaway food flies out the door. Two other guests also questioned the wait and were told it's busy and food will be coming shortly. Interesting to see that their food arrived shortly after complaining. The restaurant is not busy, 6-7 tables is not a busy restaurant, but when you're more interested in fulfilling delivery orders I can see where the problems lie. Not once did one of the two waitresses apologise to me or anyone else for that matter, that only came when you questioned what on earth could be going on in that kitchen. Unfortunately I can't leave a review for the quality of food, but the service is absolutely appalling.

Good bakery, got hot sausage rolls to go

Didnt stay just had fish and chips in the upper deck. Absolutely will be back

Restored our faith on this trip that someone knew about food. This was a real find that led to a superb meal and delightful evening. The two ladies that looked after us were professional, efficient and engagingly friendly. We felt welcome. The food was thoughtful and cooked to perfection; but mostly it was just so tasty. Jody (I hope that’s his name), the chef, took time to sit with us, tell us his fascinating story and graciously share a recipe with us. I may have distressed him a little when I said I had to eat the sauce and the fish as if they were two different dishes but trust me the flavours in both were excellent. I did eat them together, and they work, but I just wanted to experience each for what they were (but then I always pick out and eat raspberries separately) If it was open tomorrow we would be back but unfortunately it isn’t and we shall travel our journey hoping the food gods will open up another opportunity like the one we had tonight.

Amazing food, freshly cooked to our preference. Josh the owner couldn't do enough to ensure we had a good experience. Definitely recommend a visit.
