The best restaurants in Highland Highlands and Islands

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 always visit Portmahomack on our annual holiday in the Highlands and have enjoyed several visits to the cafe. We found out last year that the cafe had changed hands and have visited again this year. Friendly staff and excellent food so still deserving of 5 stars.

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.

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.

Our fourth year coming here and cannot wait to be in the area again to visit . Our holidays to Skye are not complete without a visit to this beautiful little tearoom. Pumpkin soup and a cheesecake , washed down with the best coffee on Skye. All whilst soaking in the majesty of Bla Bheinn and Loch Slappin. Fabulous hosts , fabulous food , fabulous views . What more could you ask for ?

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

Wow. Where to begin. We had been told that we would never had a culinary experience like it. Absolutely. From the sublime surroundings of Kirtomy, the welcome when we arrived, the nicely served gins all the way through to the "finale", it was outstanding. Chris obviously has a passion for what he does - and he does it so well. His eye for detail is second to none and the combination of tastes served outstanding. Awesome.

What a great place. If you are ever in the area then do visit and leave feeling uplifted. We went for breakfast on our way to the Armadale ferry and the staff could not have been any friendlier. Coffee was excellent and the food was superb. The whole place has such a friendly vibe and, although only small, they bend over backwards to get people in if that is what they are looking for. They also provide an excellent take away service which we used to take cakes away with us (they have such a huge selection of cakes on offer). So, do stop for a coffee and cake if passing by, we wish we could have visited more.

Really fabulous dinner - we both had the catch of the day, trout and scallops with samphire - sublime, perfectly cooked..Really friendly staff, and genuinely dog friendly. Charlotte brought water for our Basset pup and put her at ease. Perfect. Don't know why we've not been before, but we'll definitely be back thanks guys.

Delicious donuts and croissants! We also got the yogurt bowl which we loved. This place was cozy and the staff was great. Would recommend!

Delicious! Such a warm and cozy venue with friendly staff and the pizzas were cooked to perfection. Anyone who visits Fort Augustus needs to visit this place.

I loved this little place! What a gem! Lovely inside and cosy! A nice family feel! Food was amazing! Would recommend and would visit again! Staff were friendly and helpful. Place is set in a lovely area too!

Absolutely recommend! The owner was incredibly kind and helpful. Dinner and breakfast were the best meals we had during our entire time in Scotland. Lots of trails in the town and guest parking across the street.

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.
