The best restaurants serving British food in Highlands and Islands

We had a lovely lunch here today. In particular the chicken and vegetable soup was very tasty. I enjoyed the toasted paninni with mozzarella and roast vegetables. The coleslaw with it was really nice. There's a lovely wee gallery and gift shop to browse also.

Acabo de volver de alojarme 3 noches en el maravilloso Lynnfield Hotel en Kirkwall. Nos hemos alojado en varios otros hoteles en Kirkwall, pero ninguno de ellos estuvo a la altura del Lynnfield Hotel. Malcolm y su personal no podrían habernos hecho sentir más bienvenidos que ellos. Nuestra habitación, la suite Melsetter era simplemente maravilloso. Una fantástica ducha mira y un baño de jacuzzi de la era espacial, etc, etc! La comida era simplemente deliciosa. Teníamos la intención de comer en otro lugar en una de las noches, pero después de cenar en el Lynnfield Hotel la primera noche continuamos comiendo en casa durante la duración de nuestra estancia. Para los dueños de perros, no busque más. Todo el personal es muy amable con los perros. Rusty nuestro terrier galés no puede esperar a volver! Muy recomendable.

Great food as always. Good value for money. Highly recommended. It is cash only for anyone who hasn’t been. This is now our regular chippy

Went to this establishment on Mon 25th March 2024 seen loads of awards for excellence on their walls had a fish supper and black pudding supper both were outstanding will definitely return

Not Dog Friendly. Cake middling, coffee ok, difficult to sit IF you are allowed in as there is a big notice telling you not to move the chairs. Would not bother again.

Ordered dinner at the cafe garden, one glass of wine, one bottle of beer, and 2 lasagna dinners. We waited over half an hour and eventually had to go and ask as to where our order was, guess what they forgot!.... It then appeared with one utensil, a fork! I had to ask for knives and napkins. The mince of of dubious quality. We were told the salad was coming, so just started a little of the lasagna as we were hungry, to find it luke warm 😡 the portion size was very meager and when the salad arrived, we were both both presented with a plate of lettuce leaves, just theown on a plate with what seemed like a splash of vinegar! We paid £48 for what could only be described as a bad '70s school dinner! Very disappointed given the beautiful, tranquil location. We expected vastly better quality and portion size for our money. We felt like we were robbeda We would most certainly not recommend this place for food.

A stunning hotel and restaurant, beautifully decorated and in a beautiful location. On the way in we saw two stags in the surrounding grounds, looking majestic. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the whole place had such a community feel as they knew a lot of the diners, it really does seem to be the place to go for a meal. We are in the bar area as we had our dog, the staff, the food was beautiful, fresh fish and chips were the best I've eaten, and a steak which looked amazing and cooked to perfection. Then the desserts, creme brulee and a sticky toffee pudding - again perfect. We can't wait to be back on Uist to visit again.

We went to the Quaich cafe on Saturday 4th January 2025 as a family of 6 adults and 4 children. They were able to accommodate us at short notice having only booked that morning. I was seriously impressed not only by the excellent food and the variety available, the overall experience was excellent. From the ambiance, to the friendly staff, to the speed of service and the variety of menu items available. The meal we had was excellent. Two of us had the Highland cheeseburger with the addition of haggis. Probably one of the best burgers I have ever had. Some of the children had Mac n Cheese which was delicious. Without exception our entire party thought the meal was really good. The quality of the ingredients was excellent. The prices were reasonable and fair. The staff were friendly, efficient and very accommodating. Not much more I can say really except we will be back at the Quaich cafe with the family again in the near future. Keep up the good work. A great place to eat in Fochabers Now my go to place.

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!

what a lovely hidden gem - fantastic tea and hot chocolate - very friendly staff - could sit here for hours watching the view

This is a lively and welcoming old fashioned proper pub. There were local beers on the bar which were a good pint. The log fire was blazing and the food really good.

The atmosphere and staff was great. The meal was served due to the crowd. Had chicken fillet burger 👌

Visited here with my son while doing a tour in Scotland , what a lovely place. Certainly worth a visit if you’re in the area and have some nice food and gift shop as well.

Lovely little spot for a take-away breakfast. Opted for the blue cheese and ham toastie and it was superb. Ate it with a lovely coffee to accompany by the harbour making friends with a cheeky crow who shared my passion for a tasty snack.
