The best restaurants in Highlands and Islands

Our second visit to the cafe and it was just as good as the first. Messaged on Facebook before we went and received a very quick reply. It was open for takeaway only so the tea room's tables were removed, creating plenty of space to move around in. A wide selection of food available for mid-morning on a Tuesday, including a great selection of cakes. Gluten free cake option available, as well as a range of cakes. We had four different ones between us and each one was, just delicious!

What a fantastic find on Skye. We called in for a coffee in the morning, which was very good. After exploring the area for a few hours, beyond the cafe, I suggested to my husband we call in for a bite for lunch as there was not much else open between this place, and going to the Nest Lighthouse. We enjoyed the Quiche and salad, and a delicious piece of home baked slide. A delightful setting and with the sunny day, it was fabulous to sit outside the Yurt and in the garden, enjoying the scenery. Fabulous, friendly service too, and value for money, i.e. not expecting save for the coffee, slices or meal.

Second visit to this fabulous chippy. Friendly staff and the food is excellent we had Large fish, chips, peas and sweet and sour prawns with chips all cooked to perfection. Two weeks is too long to wait for it to open again!

I'm always on the look out for something different and this quaint tea shop in the wilds of Shetland fits the bill. I had the Victoria sponge, which was excellent. The café has a warm comforting ambience and the staff and service are excellent.

The power of Trip Advisor! This hidden gem is difficult to find and to be honest doesn’t look anything from the outside. But it is definitely worth going in. It was the first time we had eaten Keralan food so we asked the waitress what she would recommend. She was great with her recommendations. We had a Dosa to share to start with then a fish curry and lamb curry with rice and bread for mains. Everything was delicious. Do try it. It’s fabulous

Fantastic brunch, arrived during a very bust spell, staff stayed cheerful and friendly and we got seated within 10 mins, I had Turkish egg and they were very good and very spice, Hubby had the black pudding skillet he said it was very good again something was spicy, the sourdough bread was a star. We also had a sweet treat each, myself a black forest doughnut this was amazing and hubby on the recommendation of another customer had the carrot cake this was also amazing we both also had a coffee each. I definitely recommend rain, for friendly staff, delicious well priced food and lovely atmosphere.

I went there for lunch with my husband, daughter and two friends. The garden is gorgeous, the barn is cosy and imaculate, with an amazing view over Little Loch Broom and with a wooden fire. Linda and Mike were extremely friendly. The pancakes were delicious, big portions and they all arrived at the same time. The chocolates were scruptious and they had some toys and colouring for our 5 year-old. We will definitely cine back!

restaurant clode since 3 years, Any update from trip advisor ? We're travelling on NC500 and there a lot of restaurant close but still appear on trip advisor... for what ???

I knew not to expect lobster in November but I’d hoped for langoustines or maybe scallops at a push. Not to worry, haddock tacos sounded great! Love tacos, love haddock, so jumped at them and also ordered a kids fish & chips with a side order of mushy peas. I was the only person in and didn’t particularly enjoy having to listen to the young fella in the kitchen ranting about vegans and vegan food for 10 minutes. I’m clearly not vegan but I wouldn’t have enjoyed hearing rants about anything, especially calling people weirdos and generally being unpleasant. Not a great atmosphere to be waiting in. It was a mixed bag to be honest. The mushy peas were not, they were more of a pea & mint purée, not pleasant. The tacos were surprisingly bland. Of course I wasn’t expecting great Mexican food in a tiny village in the Highlands but I did expect some flavour. Even the fish was unseasoned. Luckily I was taking home and had guacamole and chipotle sauce to hand. The fish was plentiful and perfectly cooked though. And the batter (despite the lack of seasoning) was probably the best I’ve ever had. Light, crispy and golden. The fish and chips were faultless. Not chips as you’d maybe expect from a chippy, more like fries but they were really good and well seasoned. I’d probably have made this a 3.5 but I’m happy to give 4. The young woman serving was really pleasant and helpful and countered the rants from the kitchen (she handled him well too, better than I would have). I’d definitely return and recommend but wouldn’t recommend the tacos.

Came here during a ride out from home on my Harley. Opted for Quiche, salad and a banana and strawberry smoothie. Food was totally delicious and I was able to get a table outside to both watch my bike, enjoy the sun and the amazing view. Highly recommend The Alley for an excellent lunch.

We had a really delicious, crispy fresh poke bowl for Take away, ate it at the riversite, loved it! Really friendly cook. Recommend it to all!

Un café brillante. Siempre lo busco en cafeterías y restaurantes locales donde está ampliamente disponible. Siempre hay una amplia gama de tipos disponibles, pero siempre voy a Highland Roast.

On a very wet and very windy day we decided to go for lunch at our favourite cafe, The Cafe Ceardach. This community owned gem of a place is always warm and welcoming. Fabulous food, Fabulous place and most of all, a Fabulous Team of girls who make this place the joy it is.

My husband and me are regulars at EM’s so today when we visited we were saddened to see that she is closing down today. The baking has always been first class and the friendly staff, amazing. EM’s will be greatly missed in Dingwall. All that is left for me to say is that we wish Emily and her staff all the very best in the future. A truely brilliant baker.
