The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Highland Highlands and Islands

Your restaurant came highly recommended and the food and wine was absolutely superb. Unfortunately this is where the great experience ended as we have never been made to feel so uncomfortable in a restaurant by the people serving us, to the point that we couldn't wait to pay the bill and leave! We were the first table in the evening at 5pm and were seated right by the bar but we struggled to get eye contact with the staff who were either chatting behind the bar or staring into space. At no point did they ask us if everything was ok or if we wanted another drink. We tried to engage them in some chatter when they served us but to no avail. I don't know if in someway we offended them but we really could not work out what we had done wrong to be treated this way. Unfortunately we will not be returning, which is a shame as the food is excellent. Fortunately our evening was not completely spoiled as a visit to the local community centre in Nairn found us invited to a Ceilidh and a very warm welcome and fun evening.

We stayed at Taigh Ailean for our trip to Skye. We also had the opportunity to eat dinner there (Breakfast was included with our stay.) The dinner was so delicious! The view is lovely as you can see the loch from the windows of the bar. All the staff is fantastic and so friendly! I had a great dinner and I would describe it, but the menu changes to suit what is in season and available from the sea. Whatever you get, I guarantee it will be the best! Make sure you call ahead and get a reservation as it fills up quickly. I know that they also have live music, which would be great, but we didn't have any while we were there.

Lovely cafe. Very friendly service - cafe was busy but staff were unflustered. Twirl cheesecake was amazing. Lovely coffee too. Highly recommended.

The tea wasn’t great and the staff member serving wasn’t interested in customer service. Not a great experience for my first visit after reading the positive reviews. Loads better places in the town.

Very unexpected, unusual, friendly little cafe. Great food good value, a definite stop for food if you are going through. Perfect beach only 400m away. All worth a visit.

Called as a pitstop on a tour. OMG fabulous coffee and the bakes were amazing. Spoilt for choice as everything looked fantastic and a great view of Eilean Donna!

I really can’t say enough wonderful things about Amy’s Place, Alison & Mark and such wonderful people who go over and above for their customers, if it’s just cake you want after exploring the beautiful countryside or sandwiches, soup or one of the other very tasty treats on offer you can’t go wrong Alison very kindly made me a sugar free pudding when Finding out we were coming to stay for a week nearby and she make all the cakes herself and Mark makes a wonderful coffee or drink of your choosing, I really love all the locally sourced treasures that they sell too and find multiple things to take home with us. Mark & Alison also raised over £1800 for MacMillan cancer support charity this year when Alison cut off all her hair, well done Alison you’re amazing. So please stop by and enjoy a tasty treat a drink and two wonderful human beings who run this local business and welcome everyone the same was with a smile and infectious enthusiasm. I can’t wait to visit again.

We always visit Portmahomack on our annual holiday in the Highlands and have enjoyed several visits to the cafe. We found out last year that the cafe had changed hands and have visited again this year. Friendly staff and excellent food so still deserving of 5 stars.

I was so impressed with this little coffee house. Not only is the coffee great and the cakes delicious, the ambience is both cosy and friendly, and they remembered my name from one visit to the next. I wouldn’t go to Cromarty without going back again.

Love the refurb they have done to the shop and also the outside seating area. Owners are always looking at ways to update and keep up to date with speed off service. Pre covid you waited in the cafe however the set up now order in shop and then your number is called is so quick. I was well impressed. I travel from Inverness but always stop , so many places need to take a leaf out off the couple who run this and step up their game . A gold mine . Well done

What a great little shop , fresh homebaked sausage rolls, homebaked cakes-delicious.Really the best sausage roll i have had! Great value too.All sorts of nice produce in stock.Locals should and im sure they do consider themselves fortunate to have such a place nearby!

This place was one of our favourite holiday ‘finds’ after meandering along the long, beautiful road from Glenelg, not knowing what was at the end (our favourite past time). That was 8 years ago and we discovered the best home-made salmon quiche I’ve ever tasted set in tiny area of eclectic seating with the local fauna sitting at your feet, all set with a stunning backdrop. Everything about it felt home-made in its genuine sense- like a reward for travellers rather than a cafe. We felt we’d found the world’s best kept secret.. So we returned. All just as beautiful and the food just as delicious, just with a place to sit inside if the clouds let go. So glad Sheena’s is going strong.

Great coffee and bakery in a lovely shop. After a stop at the Oyster Shed grab a coffee, sit and enjoy! (The limit is 100!!!)

We stayed overnight in the B&B, and had the hairy coo themed afternoon tea. If you book an overnight stay, you get a private talk and opportunity to hand feed the coos in the morning. The food was delicious, it would never have occurred to me to make a toasted sandwich with french toast - an absolute revelation. We also opted for the full Scottish breakfast and it was delicious. This is a cosy family run business thats very welcoming. I would definitely go back. Make sure you book if you’re going peak season - we went the first weekend of their being open and it was steady traffic even during the off peak.

Our second visit to the cafe and it was just as good as the first. Messaged on Facebook before we went and received a very quick reply. It was open for takeaway only so the tea room's tables were removed, creating plenty of space to move around in. A wide selection of food available for mid-morning on a Tuesday, including a great selection of cakes. Gluten free cake option available, as well as a range of cakes. We had four different ones between us and each one was, just delicious!
