The best restaurants in Lerwick North Shetland Islands Highlands and Islands

went with two of my favourite people. Got served by this lovely two. One who recommended me the tomato soup - i hadn’t tried before, which was amazing!!!! I couldn’t decide between the tattie or tomato so they let me try both out a small pot. I was also served a lovely scone heated up with butter 💗 amazing lovely customer service - brilliant envirmoment. Very humble and cozy Also managed to get a amazing steal from the good as new shop 💖💖💖

A very popular and busy cafe that can be difficult to get a table in, especially in the cruise season. I often end up walking past as the place looks packed when peering through the window. The service is table service, but you need to order at the counter just inside the entrance on the left. This area can be quite loud so you may have difficulty hearing yourself order. My table was clean and ready to use. There is little room between the tables so you might find yourself dusting off your neighbour's table with your trousers/skirt. You can't help but get into friendly conversation with the cutomers on nearby tables so you might make new friends! The Cullen skink soup needed more fish, potato and cream, but less leek. Not as good when I was in there a number of weeks ago, although I understand that they have had some turnover of kitchen staff in the relatively short time that they have been open. The blackcurrant sponge cake/flan was superb. The others that I didn't try looked very good too. The portion was quite generous. The flat white coffee was disappointing. It was very strong suggesting a double shot of a dark roast, perhaps it was Peerie Spiggie coffee? In blind testing in the UK customers almost always expressed a preference for a lighter roast, but many cafes use a dark roast. The cup seemed smaller than eight ounces, the accepted size for serving flat whites, but I may be wrong about their cup size. The drink seemed watery. The proportion of milk to coffee was wrong. It may also have been that the milk used was not full fat milk, which is a shame as the local Shetland Dairy's full fat milk is particularly good for coffee drinks that have stretched milk, as it seems to have a high cream content. I would recommend weighing the water that has passed through the portafilter: 18g of ground coffee in to 36g of coffee out then top up with stretched milk. The younger staff are busy and very good at clearing and cleaning the tables quickly, freeing up space for the next customer, as well as being polite, professional and cheerful. I noticed some of the customers lingering longer than was polite in the circumstances, i.e. other customers waiting for seats. Pete's Cafe is one of the best cafes in Lerwick, but also try the Olive Tree in the Bolts Shopping Centre. The soup will be better, as will the coffee, and you will have more space between the tables. The cakes won't be as good though.

me and my partner had a take away breakfast and they were both really good! I loved my veggie breakfast it was perfect. I would definetly recommend

Been meaning to come here for ages and finally got round to it last night! The service was fantastic and the food divine. Lots of local produce on offer- the seafood was particularly good- the scallops and mussels were delicious. I had the beef as a main which was perfectly cooked and served with a very rich and tasty gravy. The presentation really stands out- a lot of care goes in to it. For the quality, the prices are extremely reasonable. Definitely recommendes and i hope to go back soon!

This is a wonderful place to stay directly across from Lerwick via ferry. The room was clean and comfortable with a great shower. Dinner was excellent as was breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay. The ferry to and from Lerwick runs frequently and the ride is short. It is only a couple minutes walk from the hotel to the ferry terminal. The owners are super friendly and obviously work hard to make their hotel comfortable.

5 start has to come out again for the Shetlands visit. These people know about spices. The photos say it all.

We had a very pleasant time here. The food was nice and the service was prompt and smiley! 😊

I appreciated that they have gluten free options with gluten free bread. I took French toast with mascarpone cream and Shetland milk. Everything was good and tasty. One little thing.. I didn't like eating in a cardboard.. however it was a minor issue and I would recommend this place to other people.

Food, steak was FABULOUS... A bit pitty for small choice of wine buuut I've got my thatvwas very close to my type of wine

Great food as always. Good value for money. Highly recommended. It is cash only for anyone who hasn’t been. This is now our regular chippy

The fish was good but the onion rings were the worst. And this is traditional so only salt and vinegar for flavor. This is the second time in Scotland I have had onion rings and I could not tell if there was anything there but batter. People were nice.

We had an excellent lunch yesterday at a more than reasonable price. Two of us had the meal deal and the other a wrap but it was a difficult choice as everything looked so good and fresh. The meal deal included a delicious bowl of soup, bread roll, piece of fruit and a hot drink. A little off the main town as it is on the lower floor of the Toll Clock Shopping Centre but well worth the effort. We were served by lovely staff and a good chat with one the owners. Would highly recommend.

OK technically. We went in around 3.20, to be told that as it closes at 4.00 only takeaway cups were available. A black mark from me. My coffee and my wife’s tea were tasty. At my age (high 70’s) going into a cafe for a drink is usually because a sit down is desired. Equally a proper cup and saucer. It was not said, but probably we should have sat outside. After 10 minutes all the other chairs were being turned upside down on the tables.

We spent seven very comfortable nights at the Aald Harbour B & B. The room was greatt, the bed comfortable and facilities in the room excellent. The choices at breakfast were really good and Lynette was happy to modify dishes to personal taste. All in all the Aald Harbour has got to be Lerwicks premier B & B

Super Location, on thursday with live music.
