The best restaurants in Highlands and Islands

Stopped for a piece of cake and a cup of tea. It was a lovely, easy quick stop on our journey and we enjoyed it very much. The almond and cherry cake was delicious.

Cute little cafe. Ginger and plum cheese cake was lovely. Perhaps portions a bit big? I would say check your tea cups as ours had tea stains in them.

Enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea, late Mother’s Day surprise. Lovely setting overlooking Links, Helpful friendly staff.

Great hotel, everything was spotless,staff were first class so helpful and the food was superb, can't recommend them enough

As an Asian Stomach, we came in with an expectation, but the food is sadly disappointing. - Sweet and Sour Pork - Pork was not freshly prepared, no juiciness. Proportion of flour is so much higher than meat. The sauce is sour than normal, lack of wok hei too. Charging 18 pounds for this is off value than ordering from neighbouring takeaway shop. Rice is served but not warm enough. - Wok Fried Noodles with Char Siu - This is definitely not char siu, which is misleading to fellow Asian. Just simply Tesco Pork belly slides with some char siu sauce. Portion is small. Totally not worth 18 pounds. Coming from London this is a rip off. Server and interiors did tried their best to maintain the high end Chinese food impression. But the food is certainly far from a satisfactory level. If you want a cup of tea at a nice Asian restaurant, this is fine. But for its food, consider other options/cuisine.

Just happened to be there on a Wednesday. The only night they do dinner. Phenomenal meal by the husband/wife/daughter team that run it. We got the last reservation so plan ahead. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Go!!

Spent 2 nights, we had a great time. Andrea is an excellent host.

Brilliant service from a friendly owner who actually reopened the restaurant as I'd arrived in Helmsdale after everything was closed. Really good fish and chips at a good price. I'll be back!

The food I have to say is amazing, however it's the rest that let's it down, we were asked to come in half hour earlier than our booking, ...ok fair enough but we were not seated until 40 minutes after arrival, what was the point in asking us to come in early , then the table wasn't ready , they don't serve any form of cider so we had a bottle of red wine which we waited for ever for, it also took forever to be asked what we wanted to eat, given everything is cooked to order that bit didn't take to long and was absolutely amazing, they also add a service charge which they don't tell you about and it's not advertised anywhere, so to sum up the food is amazing but front of house let this place down otherwise it would have had five stars

Hearty vegan food here! I got the falafel wrap and the Korean style chips.... Not sure it worked as a combo but that's on me haha

Visited in October 2022 and October 2023 and have been daydreaming about the coffee ever since - nothing else has come close!

Excellent place, a little far away but totally worth it, the food is excellent, the atmosphere and the service too, but if you wear a raincoat if you go on a motorcycle

What a disappointment after reading the positive reviews and then experiencing it yourself. First of all, the prices are not the problem, the atmosphere is okay, I would prefer to hear more appropriate background music. Service fine, but it's all about the food. Starters were tasty, fried snacks. Main courses lacked all taste due to lack of herbs and fresh vegetables. Chicken was quite tender. However, you want to taste that Thai Pad Thai and then a plate full of rather tasteless strings with some peanut crumbs and pieces of vegetables and chicken next to it is not what reminds me of Thailand.

Beautiful bread and cakes in a magical setting. You must stop here if you are on the area. We've not seen anything like it before! There's also home made pizza and a tiny distillery!
