The best restaurants in Orkney Islands Highlands and Islands

Unique place and worth the drive. My daughter and I went for lunch (with a reservation). It's in a fairly remote location. The outside and inside of the building a pretty to look at. The jewelry store portion is dramatic, with high ceilings and pretty lighting. The dining room is lovely with lots of windows and church-themed chairs and benches. Even the table centerpieces with salt, pepper, and menus are noteworthy for their appearance. The service was friendly. The food was delicious. Definitely try the Orkney Ice Cream with the Orkney fudge and toffee flavor. I loved mine. The meal put smiles on our faces.

I don’t like pizza. I find High Street pizzas bland and average but Eviedale’s Sourdough pizzas are absolutely DELICIOUS! Not only that, their pastries and sourdough bakes are wonderful too. It is just as well I don’t live on the island as I’d be in there every day! Go and enjoy you won’t be disappointed.

This cafe is up towards Graham Place from the main street. We enjoyed soup, toasties, coffees and two slices of a deliciously moist chocolate cake before setting off for the St Margaret's Hope ferry. It was very relaxed with a friendly atmosphere, with local artwork on the walls, some for sale. Service was excellent and we would recommend this as somewhere to eat after visiting the town's excellent museum.

Sadly the restaurant did not live up to our expectations. Restaurant itself was lacking in atmosphere. Food was overpriced and lacking in flavours. Very disappointing.

What a fantastic place!!! So comfy, welcoming and lovely. Breakfast was amazing and dinner in the restaurant was perfect. Highly recommend!

Saintear isn’t perfect, but the welcome is warm, the food is good and the portions are generous. And the location is amazing. Good enough for me.

Had the best latte here. The view was lovely and we could have sat there all day! The menu looked really interesting and we were disappointed that we had already eaten!

The Royal usually does Fish and Chips on a friday night - you should book by calling ( see Hoy Facebook page for latest news ). We have been sampling Fish and Chips across the Highlands and Islands over the last several years and we are happy to report that the Longhope Fish and Chips are the best - thanks Alan and Sabine , great work. Oh , and it's always a nice wee night in the traditional bar with open fire and draught lager. Loved it.

Local farmer breeds buffalo and sells locally. The burger van is excellent value for money. If you think you can manage two burger rolls think again. One is definitely enough to satisfy anyone's hunger pangs. Great value for money with all fresh produce sourced locally with a good variety of home bakes.

Excellent thin-crust sourdough pizza with a good selection of toppings. I had the Zola (nothing to do with French literature - it has Gorgonzola cheese in the topping) and my wife had Quattro formaggi (also with Gorgonzola). Quick, friendly service, a simple and clean space and BYOB. What more can you ask for?

Excellent food as always, great selection of burgers and wraps with a good friendly service. Definitely recommend a visit 😋

Drinks and KINKS The clue is in the name if you are into an ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLE then this is the place for swapping DRINKS are also available but If it’s KINKS you want this is the place to be.

Excellent variety of sea food. We dined in the restaurant which was comfortable with excellent views. The quality. Of the food and service was excellent.

Adorable little ice cream shop in Nazareth. Get your ice cream fix with a layer of 50's vibe added in thanks to the decor and music played. From a normal twist, black raspberry, or pumpkin soft style (current choices), to a long list of hard ice cream flavors (teaberry included), to milkshakes and sundaes, there are plenty of choices for any ice cream lover. 🍦🍨🥤
