The best restaurants serving British food in Highlands and Islands

Wir haben hier sowohl auf der Hinfahrt als auch auf der Rückfahrt zu Fähre auf/von den Orkneys einen kurzen Zwischenstopp und einen kleinen Imbiss eingenommen. Kaffee und Tee sind gut, ebenso die herzhaften und süßen Kleinigkeiten auf der Karte. Besonders lecker fand ich die schottische Fischsuppe (Cullen Skink), die ich auf der Rückfahrt gegessen habe. Eine sehr freundliche Bedienung muss ebenfalls hervorgehoben werden.

A very atmospheric place with delicious food and friendly service. You make a really cool band together. I will definitely come back here. 🙂

Absolutely superb. Hot smoked salmon starter was one of the best I’ve had, and the venison main also fantastic. However, the wonderful, relaxed atmosphere and great staff elevate this place still further. Brilliant. Worth a detour.

I’ve often driven past and thought to stop and today we finally did. Lovely little hut, clean toilet, nice cups and only a few homemade cakes left at 2.45pm. Two people working and dishes absolutely everywhere, on every table piles of dirty dishes. I saw tourists moving aside the piles of dishes themselves so they could sit down, fresh coffees being delivered and all without clearing anything away. Half eaten cakes on plates lying around and slovenly service. The coffee was excellent but I wouldn’t return or recommend this place due to the abysmal service. There are other places who do care about their customers in the vicinity.

Drove from an hour away on a sightseeing day only to have owners say there is no restaurant here. So then had to drive back the other way to go to our second choice restaurant.

We had the vegetable soup with cheese and seaweed scone. Both were fantastic and excellent value. Wondered why everything else on the menu was very expensive.

This was my second visit to CDN now in the new location of Mey Hotel (a very nice small and friendly hotel nicely renovated) the meal and wine flight were outstanding every innovative serving a great pleasure - some excellent ingredients surprisingly presented to a very high standard / best meal in Scotland on our three week tour of seafood restaurants !!!!

I haven’t felt so welcomed in a restaurant ever. Incredible service and food to match. Chris hosts a great atmosphere with games to play while waiting for dinner. Chris made it as easy as possible for us to eat even though we were a large group visiting the area for work. We ate large sharer plates and we even had a special main cooked up for a member of our team who had strict dietaries. If you’re ever making your way through the Cairngorms you must pay them a visit.

I loved this little place! What a gem! Lovely inside and cosy! A nice family feel! Food was amazing! Would recommend and would visit again! Staff were friendly and helpful. Place is set in a lovely area too!

Went in today for lunch and had Hot dog & toastie with fries with tea. The staff are warm and friendly.... efficient and the food was spot on. Credit to the community. Wonderful gem of a place. Highly recommended. Beautiful museum and very informative.

Well, what can I say. Stayed here for two nights to attend a funeral. I knew it was going to be great when, arriving at 22 45, Kieron welcomed me and I climbed the stairs to my single room…..and the floors creaked. Allways a good sign of an excellent hotel when the floors do that, never failed me. Fantastic little room, attention to detail was superb. Breakfast was out of this world, skillfully prepared and beautifully presented. I didnt need lunch…….. Superb “wake” served for around 30 people , amazing soup, sandwiches, tea and coffee and chocolate pudding to die for, so light and guilt free ! Meal in the bistro for me, two cousins and my 9? year old Aunty after the wake.Ina could not have been more attentive. Enjoy this couples excellent service while you can, retirement beckons for them after 23 years !

Tucked away on the other side of the pier, this is a fantastic takeaway, the taster box was delicious and so fresh. Loved the scallops which were perfectly cooked. Thank you.

I cannot thank Stephen enough as he has gone above throughout this whole lockdown in helping me get presents to my parents. The Deli deserves recognition for all their hard work that they have provided .

The tag line is the "Smallest chippy in Scotland", they work out of a fairly small shed with a number of small fryers. There's space for about 4-5 cars so I didn't have a problem parking. There's an easy to use online ordering system, I picked up the QR code at the nearby campsite I was staying at. You pick a 10 minute slot for your collection which is arranged online to stop them getting overloaded. I had large haddock, chips and mushy peas which were cooked to order. The haddock was perfectly battered and cooked, the chips were just right too. The mushy peas looked natural rather than full of green dye. All in all it was worthy of five star all round. Probably a couple of £ more than the average chippy, but well above average so good value. More than happy to recommend.

Lucky to find that dinner was available on one of the nights. The meal was excellent. Extremely well cooked, presented and served. Don't miss the opportunity to eat there if you can. Elaine is a great cook/chef.
