The best restaurants in Highlands and Islands

We went for dinner with high expectations, but things fell short for us. The cuisine was not particularly to our liking, so our food choices were few. Cocktails were well prepared. Our final bill was outrageous for what was served in my opinion. I would not return.

Fabulous restaurant in Donaghadee. So lucky to have it on our doorstep. Great place for a catch up with the girls. Fantastic food, great ambience and service. I had the daube of beef which was delicious! Scallops to start which were just perfect. Always good craic with Jody the owner! Reccomend a visit.

The food was truly excellent, the restaurant itself is beautiful, and the staff were very attentive - some of the best service I’ve received at a restaurant in a very long time. I wish I could come back soon!

We received a warm welcome to this lovely coffee shop with amazing views. The coffee, we all agreed, was excellent. Three of us opted for scones with jam and cream and one for coffee cake and again we all thought what we had was delicious. Great selection of food and drinks, super staff and great views all added up to a very nice morning out.

If you’re in Shieldaig you must stop here, the minute you enter and feel the relaxed and friendly vibe and smell of fresh food cooking you will already know you’ve stumbled upon a gem. We had two morning rolls with black pudding and they were of supreme quality and priced fairly, the home made cakes are to die for and the coffee is great. It’s an interesting cafe too with local information and crafts to browse.

Really nice and relaxed evening in this lovely restaurant. Service was prompt and food was very tasty, we had the seafood chowder and haggis starters, lamb main and chocolate brownie dessert. Great food, well presented, also good value for money compared to other options in the village (limited!). Would highly recommend!

We have been to the Clachan many times. The atmosphere is great and staff are always friendly and welcoming. Food is also exceptional! Would highly recommend.

Personale molto gentile e disponibile, il pub è piccolino e si riempie subito. Abbiamo atteso 30’min. quindi consiglio in alta stagione di arrivare prima… abbiamo preso una zuppa del giorno molto buono (7£), un trio (salmone affumicato, salmone cotto e 3 cozze) con insalatina, un Fish e chips (18£) non dei migliori assaggiati sinceramente ma le patatine molto buone. Totale in due 41£

Really nice. Went for lyallpuri. Generous portions. Although really busy served really quick. Would highly recommend

Stopped for a "fancy" meal while cycling the Heb Way, great decision. Staff were lovely and food was excellent

Restaurant was only open very limited hours at the time of our visit due to Covid restrictions. Had a nice meal and wine at reasonable price served by very helpful, friendly staff

The freshly baked goods here are very delicious and quite well made. The coffees were a delight. The service was friendly and I enjoyed my time here.

Great little chippy. Friendly service & the fish supper was freshly cooked to order, tasty & not greasy at all.

Joli Bothy. Personnel très accueillant. Parfait petit déjeuner, ou déjeuner, délicieux, gourmand et varié. Nous y en 2023 et y sommes retournées en 2024, par gourmandise.

I like this place a lot - combined shop, cafe, bar and restaurant in a continental style. Very comfy inside; great outside seating. Cromartie beer on tap!
