The best restaurants in Shetland Central Shetland Islands Highlands and Islands

Had some disappointing coffee experiences, so my expectations were low. A pleasant surprise - this is the best flat white in Shetlands.

We managed to get a table here during the Fire Festival in between events. Da Haaf is always very good, but that night the Mussel Pakora and the Cullenskink starters were superb. We had for our mains multiple homemade scampi and fish and chips, the dishes were so tasty, sometimes you don't need super fancy recipes to get well cooked perfection. A few of us had pudding unfortunately the rest of us were too full. The feedback was the puddings were also very good indeed. The service from the staff was also of a very high standard and all on duty that night are to be commended for their attention to detail. Looking forward to having another visit soon.

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 :-(

Outstanding quality of the freshest sea food produce cooked to an exceptionaly high standard. Great array of wines, spirits and ale's along with a full genuine hearty welcome from the staff + owners.."ooh la laa" with cherrys on top. Marvellous experience highly recommended for familys , freinds or just a nice solo evening..WELL DONE to the new owners "BRAVO".

Disregard any previous reviews which are trying to put you off and lessen your experience in this restaurant! Sure, sometimes things might not go as planned, we're all human (although l do wonder about some of these writers!!) and there might be hiccups here and there, but do give the Scalloway Hotel a second chance, you won't be disappointed! The menu and food was excellent, (such a varied choice!) the service was great, thanks girls - the attention to customers made us feel special, and all with a smile, which is always appreciated! (Nobody wants grumpy waiting staff!) Special mention to Chris the barman, what a hoot! So kind and patient with the oldies, couldn't have done more! Can't wait till we can go back! But don't take our word for it, or anybody else's for that matter, go find out for yourselves!
