The best restaurants in Wester Ross, Strathpeffer and Lochalsh Highland Highlands and Islands

Friendly, welcoming, interesting and part of the local community this is my favourite hangout in the Highlands. Combining art with service, the staff have created a unique business that, importantly, is open year round when little else is in Wester Ross. Tapadh leibh agus fuirich gu bràth.

Absolutely loved this place. A very warm welcome to me and my two dogs and the finest hand dived scallops I’ve ever had in my life. A bit of a drive to get there, but what a location - stunningly beautiful and peaceful. I will definitely be back when I return to this part of the world. Thank you

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!

Thomas and the team at Links are fantastic - food was fabulous - we tried the Cullen Skink and it was delicious. So was the Lasagne and the chicken dishes. Great value for money and definitely a 6 out of 5 score for us 👍 And the views are stunning too 👌

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 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.

Wow. Wow. Wow! If you have not visited it’s a must! I had the jerk chicken- it was so juicy and full of flavour and the pickled cabbage on the side was *chefs kiss* Also recommend Elliot’s home made rum punch! It is very punchy and so delicious! Both Elliott and his mum made us feel so welcome! Shame I don’t live closer to come here more often 💔💔

Love the refurb they have done to the shop and also the outside seating area. Owners are always looking at ways to update and keep up to date with speed off service. Pre covid you waited in the cafe however the set up now order in shop and then your number is called is so quick. I was well impressed. I travel from Inverness but always stop , so many places need to take a leaf out off the couple who run this and step up their game . A gold mine . Well done

Il miglior ristorante del mio viaggio in Scozia. Cibo ricercato, materie prime di grande qualità, presentazione ottima e servizio impeccabile. Cortesia e qualità al giusto prezzo, con la possibilità di degustare specialità locali. Assolutamente consigliato. abbiamo pernotatto al b&b al piano superiore ed è altrettanto curato.

Family of 8 ordered pizza & collected it last night. Ready half an hour after ordering. Food was really nice. Thoroughly recommend pizzas from here if you’re having a night in.

This place was one of our favourite holiday ‘finds’ after meandering along the long, beautiful road from Glenelg, not knowing what was at the end (our favourite past time). That was 8 years ago and we discovered the best home-made salmon quiche I’ve ever tasted set in tiny area of eclectic seating with the local fauna sitting at your feet, all set with a stunning backdrop. Everything about it felt home-made in its genuine sense- like a reward for travellers rather than a cafe. We felt we’d found the world’s best kept secret.. So we returned. All just as beautiful and the food just as delicious, just with a place to sit inside if the clouds let go. So glad Sheena’s is going strong.

The tasting menu we were served at The Dipping Lugger was quite something… including incredibly good halibut and the biggest and tastiest scallop I’ve ever eaten. Every course was a hit. Can’t comment on the wine pairing as we didn’t choose it, instead opting for a Ullapool G&T each which was very nice. The service here is really warm and friendly, I didn’t catch the waitresses name but she went the extra mile taking time to talk to us about the food and our trip. The only other feedback I can give is that it felt very brightly lit in the dining room, some softer lighting would help make it feel cosier. Thank you again for such a brilliant evening, we already want to return!

I went there for lunch with my husband, daughter and two friends. The garden is gorgeous, the barn is cosy and imaculate, with an amazing view over Little Loch Broom and with a wooden fire. Linda and Mike were extremely friendly. The pancakes were delicious, big portions and they all arrived at the same time. The chocolates were scruptious and they had some toys and colouring for our 5 year-old. We will definitely cine back!

Came here during a ride out from home on my Harley. Opted for Quiche, salad and a banana and strawberry smoothie. Food was totally delicious and I was able to get a table outside to both watch my bike, enjoy the sun and the amazing view. Highly recommend The Alley for an excellent lunch.
