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

Great little cafe on the NC500. Lovely coffee and a rhubarb/apple soda that was really good! Broccoli soup was very good. Tuna mayo was good but a lot of bread versus filling. Excellent side salad. First spinach we’d seen in a week.

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

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 👌

I’ve often driven past and thought to stop and today we finally did. Lovely little hut, clean toilet, nice cups and only a few homemade cakes left at 2.45pm. Two people working and dishes absolutely everywhere, on every table piles of dirty dishes. I saw tourists moving aside the piles of dishes themselves so they could sit down, fresh coffees being delivered and all without clearing anything away. Half eaten cakes on plates lying around and slovenly service. The coffee was excellent but I wouldn’t return or recommend this place due to the abysmal service. There are other places who do care about their customers in the vicinity.

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 the vegetable soup with cheese and seaweed scone. Both were fantastic and excellent value. Wondered why everything else on the menu was very expensive.

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.

Soooo good!!! Such an unexpected find. And lovely people too. Will be back. Not a lot of seats so be prepared to wait, but worth it!

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.

Non so, ma siamo lì... locale di livello assoluto in una cittadina dove non te lo aspetteresti: grande cena, complimenti! Tutto come da trend attuale: piccola sala, con sette tavoli, orario fisso per tutti e menu degustazione uguale per tutti. Preparazioni ottime e tutte interessanti con un pairing molto interessante, direi eccellente, nonché generoso. In particolare c'è anche un originalissimo pairing analcolico... l'ha preso la mia compagna che, purtroppo, non era proprio in forma quella sera, beh... interessante e ben congegnato: bravissimi. Tutto OK? Non proprio, niente di grave, ma si può migliorare: ingresso laterale non segnalato... va bene il "minimal" ma non esageriamo; partenza ritardata di oltre mezz'ora rispetto all'orario indicato... un pochino troppo; prezzo un filo eccessivo.

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.
