Having walked up to Sumburgh Head lighthouse on a cold, rainy and windy January day, there was nothing more welcoming than the sight of Katja's coffee and cake bus. As it was just the two of us, we actually sat inside and spent a very pleasant half hour chatting to Katja and enjoying the good strong coffee and the very lovely cake as we sheltered from the weather. If you are visiting the lighthouse, definitely grab a coffee here, it's quirky, she's lovely and the coffee and cake are top notch.

We had lunch at Isle Eat today. Fantastic fish and chips (generous portions!) served by a lovely, smiley waitress. Desserts being served to other customers looked yummy but too full to try any. Would certainly recommend.

We found Hand Made Fish, the croft smokehouse of David Parham, a true delight. David smokes salmon that he carefully selects from Orkney and Shetland fish suppliers. He is passionate about smoking salmon to perfection, and what counts most is to always improve. Our visit to his smokehouse in Bigton, Maywick, was a unique food experience. He told us stories, explained the smoking process and offered us a fascinating tasting experience that learned us how different the pieces of his artisan salmon taste: tail, head, side, body. What a discovery! Everyone of our family, adults and kids, really enjoyed David’s stories and his wonderful smoked salmon. Simply the best salmon we ever had! A few days later we had the luck to also taste David’s smoked haddock he was so kind to deliver us in Lerwick. We poached it in butter and milk, ate it with potatoes and poached eggs, and loved it!

5 stars is way too low. So so good. We came for breakfast our first day in Lerwick and loved it. They were so welcoming and the breakfast was great so we came back again the next day for some cake and coffee. We had the lemon drizzle cake and it was easily the best lemon drizzle we've ever had. The wonderful lady who was working at the till when we came in brought over a no bake lemon cake which was equally as good. Definitely a must visit during your time in lerwick and we can't reccommend the cake enough!

I'm always on the look out for something different and this quaint tea shop in the wilds of Shetland fits the bill. I had the Victoria sponge, which was excellent. The café has a warm comforting ambience and the staff and service are excellent.

My favourite place in Lerwick for coffee and a sweet. If you're here in Shetland, you MUST stop by and enjoy the friendly service, wonderful variety of things from Puffin Poo to ice cream. If I could, I would stop by more than I already do! From a member of the IL Coffee Club! 😁

We went there with my family and friends. The place is always busy, so we had luck to get a reservation. Of course I had to eat one more Fish&Chips. Added bonus, I think its the only batter that used panko to be more crispy. Not traditional I think, but I actually like the version better.

I been at KB with my family for a birthday meal. First strange thing I noticed when they brought a buttered fish for my child and fish was pale, oily and soggy (when breaded fish served for my second child looked great). When they brought my buttered fish I seen the same- A very pale, soggy, greesy thing on my plate :( Taste was not good eaither..butter was not crispy, but greesy and also had a taste of old flour, not sure what was wrong but I ate less than half. When waitress came to collect plate (she probably seen I ate no much of it) she asked "if all was ok?"..I honesty said that I didnt like my buttered fish and... waitress just replied "Thats ok", turned around and gone with my plate. She show NO interest in situation at all.. and I had no even a chance to explain why I did no ate my dinner. Next thing I did not like, it when my kid's favourite song starts to play, some gentelmen appeared from kitchen with a hoover in his hands and without asking anybody around he turned his hoover ON and instead of music we listened a sounds of hoover for a few minutes. Kids were so upset. They said "we didnt hear our favourite song" :( Now, after I came back home from KB I had a very upset stomack and it still sore, child who had buttered fish too complained about sore tummy too. So..not very good experience for 70 pounds we paid. Probably would not go back to KB again :-(

We enjoyed a delicious meal here on the last night of our holiday. The food was delicious, service so friendly and helpful and the setting was beautiful. We really appreciated that the restaurant took the time and trouble to prepare a simplified meal for one of our group so that we could all dine out together. We will definitely return here if we are lucky enough to visit Shetland again.

Excellent cafe based downstairs at Bonhoga Gallery and shop. Cakes, made by young woman who runs cafe, are amazingly good and reasonably priced. Nice views of stream and countryside. Can be busy at lunch time but otherwise OK. Simple lunch menu...soup, quiche. Friendly service.
