The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Lerwick North Shetland Islands Highlands and Islands

Cute cafe in school building in Bressay. Serves home made cakes, soups and sandwiches. Friendly staff. Crafts available.

The absolute best place for breakfast in Shetland. The food and drinks are delicious, and beyond that, the people have hearts of gold. I stopped in one morning before a tour, wanting to get a Diet Coke and the credit card machine wasn’t working. Christiane gave me the Coke anyways and said don’t worry about it. Me! A complete stranger. And when we went back for another breakfast (and I was able to repay her), I bought a bunch of scones for our travels the next day. As luck would have it I lost them somewhere during that day. I went back to Pete’s to ask if I had left them there. No joy. After re-walking the entire town I gave up and came back to buy a sandwich for the next days travels. When Christiane give me my bag she said I’m out of the kind of scones you bought this morning, but I put in another one with jam and cream to make up for it. They are so kind.

me and my partner had a take away breakfast and they were both really good! I loved my veggie breakfast it was perfect. I would definetly recommend

We had a very pleasant time here. The food was nice and the service was prompt and smiley! 😊

I appreciated that they have gluten free options with gluten free bread. I took French toast with mascarpone cream and Shetland milk. Everything was good and tasty. One little thing.. I didn't like eating in a cardboard.. however it was a minor issue and I would recommend this place to other people.

We had an excellent lunch yesterday at a more than reasonable price. Two of us had the meal deal and the other a wrap but it was a difficult choice as everything looked so good and fresh. The meal deal included a delicious bowl of soup, bread roll, piece of fruit and a hot drink. A little off the main town as it is on the lower floor of the Toll Clock Shopping Centre but well worth the effort. We were served by lovely staff and a good chat with one the owners. Would highly recommend.

OK technically. We went in around 3.20, to be told that as it closes at 4.00 only takeaway cups were available. A black mark from me. My coffee and my wife’s tea were tasty. At my age (high 70’s) going into a cafe for a drink is usually because a sit down is desired. Equally a proper cup and saucer. It was not said, but probably we should have sat outside. After 10 minutes all the other chairs were being turned upside down on the tables.

Friendly staff, good food, plenty of gluten free options. First time I visited there was hardly any customers but the second time it was very busy so I was glad I reserved a table.

The service here was so poor that I had to get up from the table and ask the staff to be served. They were just standing at the counter chatting. I asked for a draft beer with my meal and was curtly informed ‘This is a cocktail bar’. Seemed rather amusing as it is in a battered building adjoining the bus station. Hardly my image of a cocktail lounge. The food was not great( could not eat the mussels) and portion very small for £16 but I would not come back. In the town centre there are better places such as 88 and Dowry.

I came into the cafe after work. I asked for skinny fries for my little sister jemima who is a very picky eater and waited for them with my friends. When I got them they were half skinny fries half chunky chips. I explained politely to them that I wanted skinny fries instead. After waiting 10 minutes I only got chunky chips. My sister jemima is very disappointed with them. She beat me up. Also my friend got a hair in her cheese and tomato panini. Super sad. 2 stars.

Mareel is brilliant, the young staff are so friendly and welcoming, we have been twice during our week long stay on Shetland mainland. The free wifi was the draw the first time. lots of quiet work spaces available and good wifi. I worked in the cafe on my second visit. My decaf (not always available in small venues) latte was topped with a gorgeous fluffy cloud of steamed milk. The wraps from the fridge (I chose bacon& egg) were stuffed full of filling too, a really nice change from the supermarket options that have hardly any filling once you get past the first mouthful. I thought the price was good too. The seating in the cafe was great, a mix of tables chairs and comfy sofas. I didn't try any cakes but they looked grand and I overheard a conversation saying they were freshly baked during the week
