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.

We were recommended to come here for breakfast and we weren't disappointed. Lovely local food and friendly staff. We then had a lovely walk back to our accommodation.

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.

From start to finish the visit was incredibly memorable and special. The food choice was staggering, the food yummy and incredibly generously portioned. The most abiding memory was the genuinely welcoming and friendly staff. BRAVO…….a must breakfast/lunch or coffee & cake stop on the NC500 !!!❤️Love Michelle & Jeff

Thomas and the team at Links are fantastic - food was fabulous - we tried the Cullen Skink and it was delicious. So was the Lasagne and the chicken dishes. Great value for money and definitely a 6 out of 5 score for us 👍 And the views are stunning too 👌

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!

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 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.

Excellent take away coffee by the Cromarty - Nigg ferry terminal. Lovely to sit outside on the Cromarty Firth. Lovely looking traybakes and cakes too. Very busy. Dog friendly inside.

Just fab! Love this place! Always service with a smile and so thoughtful. I mentioned that it had been my birthday the day before and when our coffee was served, on came happy birthday music my cake had a candle in it and happy birthday written on the plate. It’s touches like this that make a place! Recommend, recommend 😊

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

A multi-times revisit As always a warm welcome awaits Good food - breakfast on this occasion and efficient service Very highly recommended

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!
