The best restaurants in Highlands and Islands

Got scallops for a starter, it was a little too cold and a little unfamiliar with a few slices of sausage 🙂 Had the fillet as a main course - probably the best prepared and most tender meat ever. Exceptionally friendly service by a young but very attentive waiter.

Fantastic evening,Pre ordered a Seafood sharing platter,Our eyes popped open when it arrived.Two massive bowls of Steamed Mussels in a wine and cream sauce,cooked perfectly,also two plates of langustines,and a Dressed crab to share,all with a salad.Served by the Lovely Emily,who went above and beyond,removing empty mussel shells and langustine heads,thank you so much Rob we will be back for the same again next week. Hey Guys,give this wonderful restaurant a try you will not be dissapointed.

Amazing pies and friendly staff I'll definitely be back. I popped in for a quick bit of lunch and was really impressed with the quality of the food and customer service.

What an amazing place, visited for pre ferry breakfast, super friendly lady at the entrance/ till area. Allowed us in with our pooch, "so long as we were well behaved" !!! Had perfectly cooked smoked haddock and poached eggs with hollandaise sauce and soft grilled tomatoes and delish coffee. Was given 2 sausages for Lola, our Springer/ boxer cross too. Many thanks from a professional chef and former Taste of Scotland inspector. 😁

Its unassuming exterior belies an incredible experience within - excellent service and incredibly taste full food. The marinated beef starter was just mouth watering as was the halibut. Very much value for money - and on my return list

Stopped for lunch as we were passing through Ullapool, and was highly impressed with the haddock and chips. A large - and very nice piece of fish, beautiful batter, and with a good portion of freshly cooked chips. As a working class lad from the West Midlands I like to consider myself something of a chippie connoisseur - and these were excellent!

We enjoyed a really good lunch here. The food was excellent, as was the service - both friendly and efficient. Overall we couldn't fault the experience.

Had a fantastic meal here with my husband. We had the crab claw salad and scallops for starter, both were delicious, followed by the halibut for both of us(recommended by the waiting staff) it was such a great dish, perfect portion size. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The place was busy and has a great atmosphere.

Walked into Findhorn from eco village campsite just one mile away. beautiful weather. We stopped in for coffee and a bacon roll, one with egg. Sat outside in the sunshine and breakfast/brunch was perfect. Service brilliant, couldn't have asked for better. Value? atmosphere was lovely, service perfect, seating adequate, everything hot and tasty. cost? worth every penny.

A friendly welcome and delicious food. We ordered dishes from the main menu and the specials menu and we were spoilt for choice. The specials menu had some great local seafood. We always visit Westford when we stay on Uist and we’re never disappointed!

Incredible staff… taking such good care of us .. definitely will be back on our next visit !

Loved popping in to this gem in the Cairngorms. Had a delicious lunch and loved sitting in the cosy restaurant looking out into garden center. The little shop is all ready for Halloween and Christmas so was tempted to buy a few bits and bobs and should never have gone into the good market. Such tasty Italian biscuits and goodies. A really lovely place for afternoon lunch

Dirty tables. Dirty menus. My daughter was served a mouldy panini. Cheese in panini was plastic. Very dry tasteless cheese scone. Drinks not too bad.

The food in Sid’s Spice is as authentic and tasty as any I have enjoyed travelling in India and better than most restaurants I have tried here in the uk. I loved my popadom, meat samosas and South Indian garlic chilli curry. The large pieces of chicken in my curry just melted in my mouth. My family all had different dishes and they all loved their meals too. This restaurant is a gem considering what a remote part of Scotland it is located in. If you love your curries you need to eat here. The restaurant is a small family run business with a clean modern comfortable interior. Due to its small size and limited parking make sure you book in advance if you want to eat in or grab something from their takeaway menu. I will be heading back again and trying their Chicken Naga curry as I love challenging myself with really spicy dishes.

Travelling on the NC500 saw the cafe and decided to stop for lunch. First impressions were good however the 'lunch' menu was lacking in what could be seen as everyday items. There was a specials board offering a soup and a roasted pepper dish. I would have expected to see at least an offering of jacket potatoes, something with chips perhaps or a bigger selection of normal sandwiches but they are trying to be too fancy. It may be why only three tables were occupied during a lunchtime. This establishment is not what I would call a cafe but more of a tea and cake room. As there was nothing for us we left.
