The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Highlands and Islands

Stopped for a bit of lunch and found this place. The positive - Orkney crab rolls were lovely. The negative - the sausages were rubbery and chewy. The customer service was poor. The size of the regular hot chocolate was tiny. For the price I would expect better.

Beautiful setting, really nice welcoming and friendly staff in both shop and cafe. Afternoon tea including one that was gluten free. The food was lovely. Will be back again to see the walled garden when they are in full bloom. Well worth a visit.

Had tea coffee and cake very nicely presented. Cake lovely as was tea and coffee. Certainly work a visit

Awesome place with a gigantic choice of scotch whisky as well as a large collection of japanese whisky. This combined with a absolutley cozy atmosphere, delicious food and very very friendly staff makes it a fabulous place to spend the evening. I had the classic haggis balls as a starter, the fish&chips as main and toffee cake as a dessert. Everything was just outstanding. It was so good, we will pay it another visit tonight.

Llegó a Kirkwall en un crucero. Estábamos tan ansiosos por una comida distinta de lo que se sirve a bordo. No nos decepcionaron. Teníamos Panang Pollo Curry con arroz, servido con pan de niñera. Orkney Beef y Ale pastel servido con brócoli y guisantes y una generosa porción de papas fritas. Ambos eran deliciosos y justo lo que anhelábamos. £ 16 cada uno, pero bien vale la pena.

Had a fabulous lunch. Chose small plates of cheese soufflé, gambas pil pil and hot smoked salmon Caesar salad. Food was freshly cook and very tasty. Friendly and attentive staff. A lovely stop if in the area.

BEST BREAKFAST IN SCOTLAND!!!! If there was a 6 star button I’d have chosen that. Amazing staff which is great but the breakfast……. OMG!!! We have both been all over the world and we have eaten our fair share of cooked breakfasts but this is number 1 for sure. If you are within 100 miles of Loch Ness then you have to eat here. Amazing we will be back.

Staying in Drumnadrochit for the weekend. Called the Benleva Hotel Restaurant on Saturday evening and booked a table for the following evening. When we arrived for dinner, the lady seemed surprised to see us and told us that the restaurant was closed. Very disappointing - we won’t be back.

Lovely restaurant with very friendly staff. Really good prices. Had coffee and the Victoria sponge which was absolutely divine. Will definitely be back.

Stopped off here for lunch . The food was great and the coffee and cake excellent . It’s clean and the service was efficient. Just what we needed before a long drive up the West Coast .

Great food but serious dog problem. Previously in this restaurant I’ve been jumped on by a dog whilst seated at a table, I’ve seen a loud dog ‘altercation’, a dog brought in that I could literally smell from across the room, staff touching dogs then going about their business without washing hands (🤮), dogs allowed to roam unattended around the dining room and dogs being allowed on chairs! If dogs really MUST be allowed some common sense rules are needed. My suggestions are: •Only well behaved dogs should be allowed. •Dog owners must respect the boundaries of other customers who may not want strange dogs near them. •Dogs must be controlled and not allowed to wander freely around the restaurant. •Staff shouldn’t touch dogs during their work (this is basic hygiene). I personally believe that a restaurant is no place for dogs except (genuine) service animals but could tolerate their presence with the implementation of rules such as those suggested above and a bit of decency from their owners. As this seems too much to ask I won’t be rushing back.

My best scottish food experience. Really enjoyed the chef's special. We arrived late in Mallaig and had not booked any table for dinner. We had a drink at the bar and were lucky to have dinner with a beautiful landscape, from the terrace. Really enjoyed it.

Wonderful atmosphere. They were very family friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious! We will definitely be back!

This restaurant’s main attraction is the amazing view across to Taransay. The food was ok but not memorable. Maybe in choosing the haddock and chips, we went for the wrong thing. The chips weren’t fresh but rather frozen fried off the catering delivery truck and though well cooked and nicely presented, it wasn’t the absolute best we’ve ever eaten. They weren’t especially good value either. More off putting was the long list of dog rules sellotaped to the tabletop. We were accompanied by our well behaved retired guide dog and were seated at one of the two available dog friendly (or should I say dog tolerant) tables. This really isn’t necessary. The service was friendly enough. So, yeah, good and bad points. However it gets four stars for the outstanding views and the excellent service.

Absolutely diabolical. Take my advice and steer clear of this place. The staff can’t speak or understand English. The food was Luke warm, tasted horrible and portions were small, the salad consisted of lettuce, onion & olives only. The prices are exorbitant for what you get. I will be amazed if this place lasts. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Never again.
