The best restaurants in Highlands and Islands

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!

Excelent quality sandwiches from friendly staff. Well filled and the staff always have a smile for you. Definitely my first port of call if heading West. The likes of V8 cafe should take note on how to make tasty food. My only gripe is that if a certain sandwich is sold out then could the staff not make one to order?

Absolutely love the Elgin Gregss. I work nearby and Greggs is my lunch spot. Staff are super friendly and helpfull especially Maz and Sarah!!!!!!!! Other Greggs branches can learn alot from these ladies! Will definitely return!!!!!!

Wherever we are in the Inverness area we make a beeline for a Harry Gow shop. We stay at Dingwall campsite so use the local one there. Best bakers in UK. Brilliant homemade soup, a different one every day, delicious filled rolls, sausage rolls and what a fantastic selection of cakes 😋😋.

Can't be too harsh on a food van but I really expected better. Horrible tasting burger, fully processed and cheapest meat. Tesco value condiments (clearly on display!), the worst processed sliced cheap plastic cheese. Did laugh at "Chicken Loaded Fries" on the menu for £9!!! Comical price.

Das Peachy Ness ist ein kleiner Laden in Invermoriston mit Glasarbeiten und Souvenirs und einem qualitativ hochwertigen Take-Away mit hausgemachten Pies, Sandwiches und Kuchen. Auch der Kaffee ist sehr gut und die Inhaberin unglaublich freundlich. Eine tolle Möglichkeit für Wanderer und Ausflügler, sich mit einem leckeren Snack oder Picknick zu versorgen. Es gibt auch ein paar Sitzgelegenheiten draußen, aber direkt gegenüber ist eine Grünfläche mit weiteren Picknickplätzen.

We visited Seasonal Flavour when they were at the Braemar Gathering. I enjoyed a fantastic Highland Venison Burrito. One of the few times I've had venison. And a Crispy Buttermilk Wild Pheasant Sandwich with fries. My husband loved it, my kids loved it. Great meal!

Your soup was amazing, best I've had 😋 even more so on a day like this 🌬️🌧️ Thanks looking forward to my next visit already 👌✔️

Comida exuberante. Delicioso café y gran servicio. Llegué soñando con avo smash & eggs - aunque no en el menú que estaba preparado en un instante. ¡Fue sensacional!

We went here to get some food for a beach picnic and this lovely local sandwich bar did not disappoint! They had a nice selection of bread/rolls to choose from as well as an array of freshly prepared fillings. They have homemade soups and homebaking available too. Sausage rolls are to die for - so you need to try them! All very reasonably priced too. Oh and if you like your fish - they have a fresh fish counter too!

Great coffee and sandwiches right off the highway. This is a little horse carriage stand, offering quick bits to get you back in the road. Offered both meat and veg sandwiches that were hot and delicious! Caramel coffees were yummy too! Satisfied us and our teenage son. This is right past the railroad tracks, so keep an eye out for the flags and signs by the highway.

Delicous Sunday Roast, burger nominated as 'best ever'!! Great to have somewhere else local to go and would definately recommend!!!

Best coffee served in the outer Hebrides! The cinnamon sour dough buns are to die for as well, so lovely and unique compared to the more sweeter cinnamon buns we usually have! Lovely friendly service and whilst the cafe gets quite busy it has a very cosy atmosphere. One of my favourite places whilst travelling, and I've been on the islands for the entire summer season so I've seen a lot! Range of teas on offer as well, and the lunch food options are small in choice but great in taste.

this bar is a retreat away from the crowd so tastefully decorated even Rabbie Burns would love this him self cocktails were amazing the bar staff know how to deliver satisfaction right to your table .

Not as much food on sale as expected. Its mainly clothing and gifts. Deadly silent and not much lighting. Felt like the place was closed. Very expensive coffee bar adjacent to the entrance.
