The best restaurants in Highlands and Islands

Really beautiful gardens Lovely inside

Very friendly - lovely coffee and cake

First time visiting this restraunt. Pleasant surroundings outside and lovely dining area in conservatory area. There were 5 of us here tonight, 19th February 2025. Quiet in restraunt though busier in bar area. Service was great with friendly staff. There was a good choice on the menu and food was absolutely delicious. We has steak pie, gammon steak, scampi, fish and chips and pizza. One of our party had starter of black pudding which he said was delicious too. I will definitely go back and highly recommend this restraunt.

We have been in Oban for a number of days now and tried the food in some of their fanciest restaurant, none can hold a candle to the meal that we had here. if you are looking for great Scottish cooking with good quality ingredients, this is the place to go across the car park. You have the bridge over the Atlantic which was breathtaking, especially at this time of year as it was covered in fairy fox gloves tinging the edge of the bridge pink. I know this place is a little out of the way, but it is well worth the trip.

Never stayed here,contacted randomly on telegram and asked to leave a 5 star review. Not sure the reviews here are legit,might well be an organ harvesting scam to be honest.

Precioso restaurante! ¡La pizza es divina y su tarta de queso también! ¡Buena porción también! Sin duda recomiendo la comida y el restaurante. Personal muy amable y servicial! ¡He visto que ahora están tristemente cerrados! Destripado ahora que había encontrado mi restaurante favorito y la comida! Espero que vuelvan a abrir pronto!

Stopped off en route to our campsite for takeaway pizza. Wish we’d had time to stay for a sit down meal as the garden has the most spectacular view over Talmine Bay. Pizza was crispy and freshly made.

The olive sourdough was delicious and the mackerel pate and hummus were the perfect accompaniment. Loved it! With so much choice, we’ll be back soon

Booked two nights (Aug 10-12th) here as we were ending our Scotland trip, and it was a perfect place to finish. Parking is provided in a lot or along the quiet street. It was a little confusing at first glance, because there are two buildings (across the street from each other) labeled "The Star Inn," and one of them had a sale sign on the outside. After realizing one had a locked door, we headed to the other where we were greeted by locals and directed to the bar for service. It took a couple minutes for the bartender to finish up and greet us, but she was lovely and promptly checked us in, grabbed our keys, and showed us the way to our room across the street. The first thing I noticed was the incredible smell! It smelled amazing, fresh, comforting...l considered asking how I could bring the smell back to the states. The walk in area, halls and room were spotless and cozy. The bed was crisp and fresh, and the bathroom was huge. Numerous fresh towels and toiletries were provided. There was also tea, water, a small fridge, a television, menus, WIFI, a small desk, lots of outlets for charging, and nice lighting. The Inn is within walking distance to the water, and there are some small shops that weren't open on a Sunday. It was about 15 minutes of a drive into Inverness, and about 5 minutes from Inverness airport. Would absolutely recommend staying here, we loved the small amount of time we did!

Had a great meal here while on vacation in Portree! I am slightly picky but the restaurant accommodated me beautifully and I loved everything they brought out. If you have dietary restrictions or preferences, I recommend sending the restaurant an email so they can ensure you have a fabulous experience!

Excellent prix fixe menu and fantastic service

friendly staff, lovely art gallery

A fantastic little gem in the town! We popped in for breakfast as a group of 7 before heading to The Big Burn waterfalls down the road. The breakfast options were great, and they were delicious!!! Really good portions and lovely fresh food. Would highly recommend. They are cash only but there is an ATM just up the road.

Fantastic evening in Charlie's Bistro on a cold Monday evening. The food was plentiful and tasty outdone only by the exceptional service! Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who really looked after us! The delicious house whisky was a surprising treat given the quality of most 'house' drinks. If you are ever in the area then a visit to Charlie's is a must!

Lovely ice cream with an interesting range of flavours. Shop was (no surprises) very busy, but staff still found time to be pleasant and cheery.
