The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Highlands and Islands

A great wee spot. We went in for breakfast and coffee, both were good. I thought the coffee was particularly tasty. Also great speedy yet friendly service. If I find myself after a big breakfast in Aviemore again, I will return. 😁

We chose to visit Fjara for breakfast straight off the ferry because of the good reviews so our expectations were high. The outlook over the bay is lovely and the greeting from one of the waitresses was welcoming. While the Fjara breakfast was plentiful, the food was served warm rather than hot. The bacon was notably good but we found the meal overall, average. We would rate our visit as 3.5 out of 5 but there isn't that option.

Sadly this wonderful place is closing. The welcome was warm and friendly, the setting simply amazing - you look out to sea at the Pentland Skerries, Duncansby Head, the north coast of Scotland - on a clear clear day almost as far as Cape Wrath with the mountains of Scotland .......... but down to the excellent food which is not unduly expensive but served with charm and helpfulness. - we had Chowder (5*+) seafood platter (5*+++) lasange (non fish eater!) 5* and amazing desserts. Could not have been a better experience and ranks 1st equal with one other Orkney restaurant! Just sad that it will not be operating under the current management next summer! We wish them a happy retirement!

Para empezar teníamos vieiras pescadas a mano y para principal tenía pechuga de pollo con lentejas, chorizo (etc) y mi papá tenía risotto negro con mariscos. Y para los dos verduras embaladas. Fue un placer. Y tampoco es exactamente algo que haya tenido antes (en esa composición). Simplemente no hay muchas opciones para elegir, especialmente para los vegetarianos. Además de que el restaurante es amplio y me gusta el color - esquema turquesa. El servicio está bien👌Al final fue un poco caro definitivamente más de lo habitual por aquí. Interesantes fueron las impresiones en la pared a nuestro lado mostrando partes de un diccionario orcadiano escrito hace cientos de años. Eso era genial para estudiar las palabras que los lugareños usaban por aquí - o todavía usan. Si estás buscando una cocina local y no eres vegetariano te recomiendo ir una vez.

Fish and Chips were Fantastic thanks

After visiting the Nessie museum, we had some time before our cruise, so it was time to grab a bite. This place was close and it did not disappoint. The quiche was nearly perfect, light, fluffy. the burgers were good. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

We ate gorgeous food, next to an open fire and were greeted like old friends by staff who made us feel so welcome. Really good value for lovely food in a venue that we could have stayed in all day. Make sure you visit this one.

Food was good .. not great. Rack of lamb was good but small portion and over cooked. Nice presentation of food. While eating dinner..staff came in and emptied the silverware into the cutlery containers in the dining area...clang clang clang, really? Was disappointed in staff insensitivity to dinners.

Excellent cafe with a lovely food menu. I’m coeliac and the menu was clearly marked with a lot of options for gluten free. I had a baked sweet potato with beautiful fillings. Nicely presented and good portions. Highly recommend.

We recently stayed at The Dowans and truly enjoyed our stay. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The service was incredible. Really enjoyed both the breakfast and dinner every night. We did private tours every day and it was wonderful to return to the lounge for drinks before dinner. Very quiet.

Visiting the brewery was one of the highlights of our visit to Kirkwall. The beer was amazing. The proprietor welcoming.

Best bowl of soup we’ve had Quaint cafe with very friendly staff Would definately recommend this cafe Great value for miney

Stopped in past for a quick coffee and cakes. Was pleasantly impressed with the service, nice coffee and scones. Toilets were lovely, clean and fresh smelling too!

Absolutely flawless. Exceptional welcome and the food was heavenly. Attention to detail was exceptional. I can’t rate this highly enough

This used to be a great wee place. It's sadly gone downhill. Told we had to wait, which was no issue, but when we got to our table, we had to another 10mins, only to be told they were only taking drinks orders. Ordered a coffee and a soft drink, and it arrived and was drunk before the food order was taken 15mins later!! It's tasty food, but the portions are small, and it's expensive for what you get. My hubby stood at the till for 10mins waiting to pay. Staff were coming and going, and not one apologised for the delay. It used to have a lovely atmosphere with the staff being chatty and helpful. All that is gone, and we are sad to say that we won't return in a hurry. Such a shame.
