The best restaurants in Orkney Islands Highlands and Islands

What an excellent place. It exudes quality from the fixtures and fittings, through the excellent staff to the brilliant food. We had the Orkney platter which was delicious and followed it up with one of the wonderful home baked cakes. It was so good we made a point of stopping off again later in our stay for a nice cup tea and cake one afternoon.

If you are visiting Orkney, book a table in advance, you won’t regret it. Absolutely delicious sourdough pizzas, freshly made in front of you. The Goatee was perfect! Nice atmosphere, comfortable surroundings. And you can pick up frozen sourdough croissants to bake at home for breakfast. The lovely wee beach just down the road is a bonus for a pre-dinner walk.

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.

Las razas locales y agricultores buffalo vende localmente. La hamburguesa van es una excelente relación calidad-precio. Si piensas que puedes gestionar dos rollos burger piense otra vez. Definitivamente es suficiente para satisfacer el apetito de cualquiera. Gran relación calidad-precio, con todos los productos frescos locales con una buena variedad de pastas.

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.

Major disappointment. My boyfriend and I were very excited to experience this hotel and restaurant. The room ended up being a bit cramped, but was clean and nicely furnished. A few staff were very courteous (kind and accommodating for minor requests), but the host and his senior staff were notably cold and bordered on disdainful. We were most extremely disappointed by our engagement dinner. My fiance proposed the day before, and we couldn't wait to enjoy a dinner at this highly-reputed restaurant. It was barely half-full the entire time we were there, but they refused to seat us at one of the many empty tables (which remained empty the entire time) by the windows. We accepted this, determined to make the best out of the evening and still enjoy the lovely restaurant and each other's company. The service was terrible. It wasn't long before our appetizer plates were empty, our cocktails were long empty, and even our water glasses had run dry. We flagged someone down, which seemed to irritate the senior staff even further. What nerve we had, asking for beverages whilst seated in the middle of a half-empty fine dining restaurant. Our appetizers were delicious, but the main dishes were not anywhere close to worth the price. The vegetables that came with my entree tasted like barely-seasoned steamed fare I easily prepare myself at home. By the time dinner was over, we felt like pariahs, despite the fact that we hadn't once made a scene or become disrespectful in our interactions with staff. Perhaps they were having an "off" night trying to train new employees, but the fact that we told them this was an engagement celebration and yet continued to be treated like an annoyance left us both feeling extremely disappointed. Thank goodness we found a humble restaurant at our next destination to make up for the botched celebration.

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. 🍦🍨🥤
