The best restaurants in Shetland Islands Highlands and Islands

We had driven around the north of the island and stumbled across this little gem. We had delicious sandwiches and totally sinful cakes. The tearoom is lovely, warm and homely and the staff are so friendly.

Cute cafe in school building in Bressay. Serves home made cakes, soups and sandwiches. Friendly staff. Crafts available.

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.

The absolute best place for breakfast in Shetland. The food and drinks are delicious, and beyond that, the people have hearts of gold. I stopped in one morning before a tour, wanting to get a Diet Coke and the credit card machine wasn’t working. Christiane gave me the Coke anyways and said don’t worry about it. Me! A complete stranger. And when we went back for another breakfast (and I was able to repay her), I bought a bunch of scones for our travels the next day. As luck would have it I lost them somewhere during that day. I went back to Pete’s to ask if I had left them there. No joy. After re-walking the entire town I gave up and came back to buy a sandwich for the next days travels. When Christiane give me my bag she said I’m out of the kind of scones you bought this morning, but I put in another one with jam and cream to make up for it. They are so kind.

We are often in Yell and Unst for day trips or camping and a friend had suggested to go to Isle Eat. We went for a late breakfast and an early dinner on the way home. Great family service. Very friendly and helpful. Excellent portion size for the price due to the cost of living. Will go every time again. Many thanks 🙂

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

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!

Burger van next to Tesco in Lerwick. Our best beef burger ever tasted. Shetland beef and really simple but fantastic burger.

An excellent evening, superb food and pleasant attentive staff.

Came across Nicola 's Tik Tok videos, and due to her enthusiasm and passion for what she does, and quite simply, everything looks delicious 😋 I had to order some online, and they met my expectations ...delicious ! Congratulations on your recent Awards 👏🏻 PS..A visit is on my Bucket List...Oh ! and Nicola should be on The Telly Box ...Sunday Brunch would be a great fit 👍🏻

Went for the evening fish and chips. Fantastic food quality. Great service. Only disappointment was the lack of a Lerwick Brewery draught beer. Oh and the prices of the other drinks. £6+ a pint is joke for Staropramen and Tennants. Shameful. Other than that the food and service was very good. Best in Lerwick I felt. Would recommend and return.

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.

Work at sullom voe. Like most guys don't get finished till 7pm. Missing out on big sales as they close at 7pm. Don't know chippy that closes this early. Big loss...

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

Excellent setting, good amount of seats. The menu is ok, though it doesn’t change much throughout the year but it has the best coffee in town and the tabnabs are yummy. My only grumble is I want to see the tables being cleaned after use with an actual cleaning product not a sad looking cloth. Haven’t we learned anything from covid in the spread of germs, plus it’s a restaurant this should be a given.
