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.

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.

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. 🍦🍨🥤

Wow! What a hidden gem. We’d been hoping all holiday to find such a place and it stumbled into us! Food and drink superb, a location to die for and the lady in charge and her colleague were as good as you’ll find! We loved it there!

Myself and my family, along with some family friends visiting us were recently in Argos. My family and I, I am sad to say, try to avoid this shop at all costs as a consequence of mistreatment by staff (many, not all. Some are lovely but unfortunately they are overshadowed and, in time, are corrupted by the negative, toxic work-place culture at Argos). Firstly, I echo a sentiment felt across Orkney. The staff are incredibly rude, unhelpful and lack any awareness or simple understanding disabilities. Unless you are ‘one of them’, whatever that means these days in Orkney. Numerous visitors to the island have fed back this information. My own experience has been predominantly been incredibly negative, despite my efforts to be patient (you have to be) and friendly. I am afraid that ARGOS management team are stuck in the 80s. Totally inadequate and have failed to provide essential lifeline in a small town. If you’re not from here, the present culture in the shop is at best sub-standard, and at worst it is toxic. Sensitive information such as where I send letters and communications to how much I spend on certain items have been made public knowledge in the community in the short time I was there. Let’s hop the feedback is heard. PS. Every single other shop and service we use in Orkney is fantastic with locals and, as Argos would say, with ‘ferry loupers’ alike.

Spoiled for choice, all sorts of delicatessen to pick from. Not super cheap or expensive but had a good browse and bought some relish, cheese and oatcakes.

We had a wonderful lunch here. The ambience, service and of course the food were all great. I rarely eat mussels unless I can have some confidence that they will be good quality. I wasn't disappointed. A treat to eat. My wife's crab linguine was equally good. A pity some of the other places in the town don't take notice how things should be done. Keep up the good work.

Stopped for a bit of lunch and found this place. The positive - Orkney crab rolls were lovely. The negative - the sausages were rubbery and chewy. The customer service was poor. The size of the regular hot chocolate was tiny. For the price I would expect better.

The chefs did everything in their power to make our meals and stay a great time. So great, in fact, we had every dinner there after being out during the days sight-seeing!

We went here looking for dinner because the other restaurants in Stromness were either closed or fully booked so it seemed our only option. The meat in both of our meals was chewy. If I had a choice I wouldn't go back. Also be aware that they only accept cash. The notice did say cash only, no cheques, but no mention of cards. However it really is cash only.

Waling round the old naval base we came here to find the temporary exhibition as the visitors centre is shut this season. What is a pub doing shut on a July afternoon?

Generelt er det et dejligt sted med et pænt udvalg af veltilberedte retter. Oplevelsen er både tilfredsstillende og indbydende, hvilket gør det til et besøg værd. I den forstand en rigtig livlig skots bar og separat restaurant.
