The best restaurants serving British food in Highlands and Islands

Came for brunch place full of locals plenty of food options had food envy when you saw what others ordered. Nice fresh cakes on offer place was bigger had a downstairs part with some overflow tables a couple of larger family groups.

We visited on a Sunday so the main shop was closed, but we had coffee, cake and a Salmon bagel from the caravan. Everything was delicious and the ladies running it all were very helpful and friendly.

We had a wonderful meal here from starter to dessert, the menu is very well put together. I had the scallops to start, beef fillet for main and Delice for dessert, all highly recommended, the beef main course was one of the best pieces of beef I have ever had. Simply outstanding!!

Very friendly ( Dogs too) club house . Staff and regulars were warm & welcoming and the Cullen Skink was the best I’ve ever had. I’m sure my serving had lobster in it! . Right beside the beach . And massive car park

We ate twice at Scarista House Restaurant during our recent trip to Harris. We have dined here before on previous visits over the last 20 years and this year it was better than ever. Beautifully prepared local food. First menu - Twice baked cheese soufflé, followed by Stornoway landed hake in a delicious sauce and some delicious vegetables. and then a chocolate roulade!. Second menu - goats cheese, courgette and cheese raviol with a nettle pesto (amazing!) followed by local hand dived scallops and the most delicious lemon tart with excellent pastry, lemon verbena ice cream and a strawberry and pink peppercorn coulis. Fabulous! Highly recommend the cooking here! An absolute delight!

We arrived after walking from Craigellachie. Our walking instructions had said that the owners would pick us up at Ballindalloch Station, but when we phoned we were told that this was no longer the case, and we had to walk another 1.5 miles in the pouring rain. After a struggle to work out what direction the hotel was in, we contacted the owner again who didn't seem to know where we were. We eventually worked it out with google Maps. However the hotel was pleasant and the showers were particularly good. There is a set menu at £30 per head, offering only one choice for each course. We would have preferred to maybe have a choice of 2 menus. The rooms were good and the staff were lovely. We found the drinks to be expensive. Breakfast was nice and the lady who serves breakfast was lovely.

It was awful. The steaks,one half raw and the other was burnt, all 3 steaks were the same. The chips and onion rings were burnt.We were so disappointed and when we sent them all back all the manager said was "well they looked fine to me!" and offered us a magnanimous 10%off. £100 not to eat!!! Never be back, wouldn't even take them home for the dog 😡

13 of us and a dog visited last weekend . Lovely cafe with super ,helpful staff. We all enjoyed our meal . Very tasty food. Good value. Highly recommend

Excellent supper, had a very good rib eye cooked medium rare paired with an Argentine cabaret sauvignon, delicious and all expertly delivered by owner Patrick. Highly recommended.

Best vegetarian/vegan hot dog ever! (Vegan dog with mushrooms and cheese) Chips were great and service with a smile. Wish I'd got a cake as well so will have to go back soon! My pal had a chicken and bacon burger and was also well chuffed and stuffed. The seating is outside picnic tables, which was fine for us but others might find it chilly in a normal November, so you'd maybe want to sit in your vehicle.

Not very good service at all. Staff weren’t attentive and our food came before our drinks… will not be back unfortunately.

Sailed here, having started in Bodo, Norway. Enjoyed Westray and the Pierowall Bar/Restaurant. All 3 of us were happy with our food in the restaurant and drinks from the bar. Realised there was what seemed like a 'locals' bar when I walked to the toilets.

Really disappointed. I asked for extra hot water for my tea as I like a milky and weak tea. After I had paid I was told they would have to charge me extra for that. So I only had a small amount of tea before it was undrinkable. First time I have ever heard this. We will not revisit .

We hebben onverwacht twee nachten kunnen verblijven in het Spiggie Hotel: de hotel eigenaar Chris is een enorm vriendelijke man en zijn vrouw kookt zelf heel lekker! De omgeving is prachtig en je kunt er uitstekend wandelen. In de kleine bar kan Chris je de lekkerste whiskeys laten proeven: dus als je daarvan houdt, zou ik dat zeker uitproberen. Kortom echt een aanrader!

We visited today for some lunch. The food menu was varied and reasonably priced. The drinks cabinet had only a small selection but we all found something we wanted. The staff member on the till was lovely. There was quite a wait on food but I felt it was worth it as everything was lovely and hot and as far as I could tell it was made to order. We are deducting one star for cutlery not being readily available (it was busy so it was understandable)
