The best restaurants serving British food in Highlands and Islands

This is Fawlty Towers style, 1970s decor, peculiar staff, the carpets and wall paper are terrible. The food was very good. The hotel appeared to open when it felt like it.

Really huge portions and such great choice. I would recommend, it’s in a beautiful location with really great views.

Very speedy service by the lovely waitress both days we popped in for breakfast. The food was cooked perfectly and set us up for the day. Highly recommended

We were already booked into the pub's accommodation (see separate review) and decided to book for dinner. With the splendid view of the working port and harbour why go further? The dinner menu in our room promised fresh fish and shellfish from the Scrabster Market opposite the pub. Catch of the day! Homemade fish pie! Both our preferences but we had a "plan B" for the mussels. Very disappointed that none of the above was available on the menu in the restaurant which on the whole was quite different from the one in our room. We settled for the salmon dish which was on both menus and a special of the day lasagna. Both excellent, well cooked, generous and quality ingredients. We decided to have the Bloody Mary cocktail listed on the menu. Surprise surprise, you guessed it, no tomato juice. Our waitress Linda was a delight. Don't shoot the messenger as is said. It can't be easy running a fish restaurant in a fishing village opposite a fish market....Two stars would be vindictive, a deserved 5 for what we had, the view and crew, but 4 it is. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

We had an extremely disappointing experience at the restaurant of this hotel. Upon arriving, we were met with a shockingly rude and unwelcoming attitude from the lady behind the bar. Despite the hotel advertising takeaway options online, she dismissively told us to go elsewhere if we wanted takeaway food. Her tone was condescending and unnecessarily hostile, even though the restaurant was completely empty. Thankfully, there was a lovely younger English waitress who went out of her way to accommodate our dietary needs, offering to prepare a chicken salad that met our allergy requirements for takeaway. However, just as we thought the situation was being resolved, the rude lady came along stating that they could not accommodate us and insisted we go across the road. It felt as though she was deliberately making the process difficult and seemed more interested in turning us away than providing good service. The way she spoke to us was completely unprofessional & condescending. The experience left a sour taste, not because of the food, but because of the complete lack of professionalism and respect. We expected much more from a hotel restaurant, and sadly, this encounter really let the place down. I would not recommend anybody to eat here and it completely spoilt our last night on our family holiday.

We visited the pub for food and drinks. We stopped in on our canoeing trip. A group of six adults, four children. We were cold, wet and tired. Tommy and Janine gave us the warmest welcome and were so accommodating of our many questions and requests. The fish and chips cooked up by the chef were crispy and excellent. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely lunch here. The patio is the dog-friendly area and fortunately the weather was suitable for it! There were quite a lot of options and the service was good. You can visit the cafe without visiting the museum (although the museum is also interesting).

Could not fault anything. The whole service, food and atmosphere was brilliant Very quick and pleasant service. Excellent

Lovely meal tonight. Had NC500 burger - fantastic. Starters were delicious. Partner had Steak Pie which was beautiful. Owner and staff were lovely especially the charming Zoe. Great wee lass. Highly recommend for food, drink and banter! We will definitely be back when in Helmsdale.

Such a gorgeous café. Tucked away upstairs at the hiking store in Ullapool but worth the short trot upstairs. Great coffee / hot chocolate!

Fantastic value for money,great food cooked while you wait,they say breakfast sets you up for the day well the large breakfast will keep you going all day and more. It was the only place open when the boat comes in at 7.00 but was an oasis on a dreich morning,superb.

My husband asked what the soup was. Waitress said it was homemade vegetable soup. Blitzed. Ok so he ordered it when it came it was bright orange, he got a bit of stale crusty bread. The soup group was far from homemade. Mostly carrots. And tasted terrible, sadly he couldn't eat it Wasted money..I asked for the sweet menu. Was told the only thing that was homemade was the Apple crumble. Blatant lies again. It was shop bought. Because I know where to purchase the exact same one. No more of your dishonesty. AVOID we wasted quite a bit of money and left hungry. Never again...

Oh dear. I’m a lifelong Wimpy fan, since I was a teenage schoolboy in Essex where there were (and still are) numerous Wimpy franchises. Many a happy Saturday brunch had in the Grays Wimpy, which was run until very recently by the same lovely family as it had been for decades. Forced to close by a sky high rent rise Anyway I digress. I’m in the area every so often, and love, love, love a wimpy. Halfpounder and chips, always. And in the Wimpy Dingwall it’s always been very nice. Not a busy store whenever I have visited, and a little dated. But clean, and friendly I called on on a Saturday recently and being earlier than usual, decided it was too early for a burger ( there I said it but still don’t really believe it) so I went for a breakfast: The Great Wimpy: 2 Breakfast sausages, 2 bacon slices, 2 fried eggs, Heinz® Baked Beans, griddled half tomato & a slice of toast Disappointed isn’t a word I use often. But I was with this. I don’t know what a “breakfast sausage” is, it must be a euphemism for a meatless sausage. Tasteless, textureless. The bacon had been griddled, some parts blackened and some parts undercooked. Two fried eggs, neither were runny…. The tomato half, beans and toast were ok as I would expect Usually a woman does the cooking here (I believe she is the owner) but today’s cook was a guy. I heard lots of pinging from microwaves I have no idea if the sausages are wimpy specification, or a substitute. I know they were awful. So I’d be surprised if they are wimpy approved. Fried eggs… difficult to cook them so the yolks are runny? No, not at all. I manage and I’m not employed in a catering environment. It certainly wasn’t because the place was busy, it wasn’t, with a max 8 guests in during the meal I forget how much this cost, it will have been around £10 of the King’s finest pounds. It was grim. The only saving graces were that the young girl who was waitressing was efficient, polite and lovely. And I could have a wee in their loo before leaving, since I had a relatively long trip ahead Will I go back? Possibly as I love a Wimpy Halfpounder (or double original quarter pounder cheese as it’s now know ) as I think the special sauce and brown bun make it something really unique. I’ll never ever entertain a breakfast in a Wimpy again

We had a last minute issue with our reception meal venue and contacted John at the boat restaurant. He was amazing, helped us outdo much. He went out of his way to decorate for our wedding meal reception, he accommodated our food choices at short notice and we are so grateful to him , everyone loved the meal, food was delicious , compliments to the chef. John gave us an are of restaurant so we had some privacy and the view was just spectacular . Thank you so much to John and the team at the boat restaurant. Our wedding day was made perfect after you put so much effort into helping us so we highly recommend this place 😊

In questa remota e incantevole regione della Scozia, sorge questo hotel, paradiso degli amanti della pesca. La struttura è bella e ben tenuta ma in camera c'è qualche piccolo dettaglio stonato (tipo le tende scolorite e vecchie). Il ristorante ha un menù di 3 portate a scelta, con piatti ricercati e di ottima fattura ed un servizio attento e formale. Colazione alla carta servita celermente. Il costo di oltre 200 euro a notte per una camera doppia in questa struttura è decisamente troppo alto.
