The best restaurants in Highlands and Islands

Love their delicious food and friendly, prompt service and delivery on time or early 😊

we came here quite hungry for lunch and we really enjoyed it. we got the veggie breakfast as well as the soup combo and everything was very tasty and was very fresh. definitely recommended.

Afternoon tea Cannot fault the quality of the food or the wonderful room, BUT the experience was spoilt for us when charged over £3 for fresh tea. Tea is served in pots that go cold very quickly, and to be charged for more is just miserly. Other establishments cheerfully keep fresh tea coming. I know which I'd go back to...... Also, beware the service charge which is not mentioned on the menu, another negative.

Actually a nice place, especially if the weather allows you to sit outside. Unfortunately, there were a few things during our visit that meant that our conclusion could only be average: The map is clear. You don't really need anything more, but if quite a few things from this clear menu are no longer available more than an hour before the end of opening hours, then there's something wrong with the planning. Plus, at the best time for coffee, a very (!) limited selection of cakes... The service staff were very nice, but rather slow. If half of the tables cannot be used because dishes have been used and not cleared away, then I would recommend questioning the internal processes again.

Pochi kilometri dopo l'attracco del traghetto , ci si imbatte in questa struttura condivisa con un piccolo negozio di alimentari . Ottima scelta di zuppe e insalate ( quelle di pesce molto buone ) . Ambiente famigliare e molto cordiale . Veramente consigliato

What a warm welcome from Andi when we arrived,after a long day travelling and it was 9pm.This hotel lodge is an absolute must when in the area it just makes you feel comfortable from you walk in the door,we had a drink at the bar before we went to our room which was absolutely perfect, I had booked a twin without realising and Andi quickly changed it to a double the service is fantastic. Breakfast was lovely and yes Andi in every place we've stayed so far your haggis is the best lol. While checking out we met Andi's mum who told me about Stanley the deer and his brother and theyre hats such a lovely woman and met Mia the dog who was the light guard lol and an absolute beauty I can not praise this hotel enough such a nice family business great location good breakfast good rooms we really did enjoy our stay and that was only 1 night unfortunately .

A good, clean honest family run business in Tain. Heather your hostess is great. Bed comfortable, linen clean and fresh, rooms basic but very clean, shower excellent. Food well cooked and a good selection. Breakfast very good to excellent. Value for money 100%! Walls a bit thin, so much so I disturbed my neighbour Becky with my snoring. Sorry Becky! Hope I didn't upset you too much.

This is one of our fave restaurants ever! Chef is superb! We have visited many times for the set menu and also tried the wine pairing. We are always super impressed by the flavours and excitement of each course. The black pudding bread is the best in the world haha! Decor isn’t quite fitting the ‘fine dining’ description but it’s certainly unique. Perhaps a warmer, more intimate atmosphere would add to the ambiance and general impression. Service can be a little hit or miss, sometimes takes a little while to be noticed or receive drinks including top ups and last time we visited we couldn’t understand the waiter very well as he had a very strong accent. We also found the restaurant very cold and had to keep our jackets on which was a shame as we had dressed up for the occasion. We would LOVE if there was some sort of shuttle service to the city centre which would allow all parties to enjoy the gin/wine pairing. 5 stars because the food is to die for and with little tweaks this could be the best dining experience in Inverness.

We come up on holiday to Shetland to see family and this place is our top choice for eating out. Fantastic food, interesting surroundings and absolutely lovely hosts. I could not recommend this place more!

Good Craic and good ale and taste food

All the sandwiches and the steak pie were excellent. All breads are made fresh daily and the sweets are delicious. Limited seating but we did eat lunch inside.

Great experience overall. The service was great. The food was great. The manager and staff went all out to make sure my elderly mother was assisted into the restaurant and made comfortable. I will recommend to everyone i know.

Food wasn’t great at all, donee wrap was soaked in grease and the garlic sauce was more mayo than garlic, burger was below par, and the chips were frozen chips and tasted foul.

Stopped here during a recent car journey. Their sausage rolls and meringues are the best I've ever tasted! Highly recommended 😁

Love the ice cream but todays service was just bizarre. There was a mix up with my order, then I was given a cone right ice cream wrong type of cone, I asked for the correct cone and watched the server scrape the ice cream from one cone to the correct one then I was passed the correct cone with half a scoop of ice cream. I highlighted this and was told by the owner “well is just give you a refund” now I am not sure if you have kids but the whole reason of our visit was to reward my two for a fantastic parents and a half scoop would have been a bit of an insult. I requested a different flavour which took another 5 minutes, when the owner hand it over he was obviously not pleased. He gave me a look as if to say you got what you want now go away. I asked if I didn’t justify an apology and was told no as he had already offered me a refund. As stated a refund was no use. I thought this level of service was long since finished, The arrogant proprietor who thinks if people’s aren’t happy then don’t come back. Maybe get some empathy, it goes a long way.
