The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Highlands and Islands

What a great place. If you are ever in the area then do visit and leave feeling uplifted. We went for breakfast on our way to the Armadale ferry and the staff could not have been any friendlier. Coffee was excellent and the food was superb. The whole place has such a friendly vibe and, although only small, they bend over backwards to get people in if that is what they are looking for. They also provide an excellent take away service which we used to take cakes away with us (they have such a huge selection of cakes on offer). So, do stop for a coffee and cake if passing by, we wish we could have visited more.

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!

Fantastic food and friendly staff. Best fish and chips I've had for a long time, also beautiful breakfasts. Dogs are welcomed.

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!!!)

This cafe is up towards Graham Place from the main street. We enjoyed soup, toasties, coffees and two slices of a deliciously moist chocolate cake before setting off for the St Margaret's Hope ferry. It was very relaxed with a friendly atmosphere, with local artwork on the walls, some for sale. Service was excellent and we would recommend this as somewhere to eat after visiting the town's excellent museum.

If you're looking for a truly unique and delightful afternoon tea experience, look no further than this charming, Highland cow-themed afternoon tea! From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed with a warm, rustic atmosphere that perfectly complements the natural beauty of the highland surroundings, with incredible views of Loch Ness. But the real stars of the show, aside from the delicious food, are the adorable Highland cows you'll get to meet and feed—an experience that made the day feel truly magical. I fell in love with them all! Now, onto the food: everything is homemade, and you can taste the love and care in every bite. The homemade sausage rolls are nothing short of perfection—flaky, buttery pastry with a savory filling that's so flavorful it’s hard to stop at just one. Then there’s the Monte Cristo toasted sandwiches—crispy, golden bread with a perfect balance of sweet and savory that had us talking about them all evening. Each dish felt thoughtful, fresh, and made with top-quality ingredients. And of course, no afternoon tea would be complete without freshly baked scones. These scones were simply divine—light, fluffy, and served with generous helpings of clotted cream and jam. The home baking really shines, too, with a selection of treats that perfectly capture the spirit of the place, including the most charming Highland cow cupcakes! Each one was not only adorable but also moist, rich, and absolutely delicious. What we also loved about our time was there was no rush or pressure, it's not about turn over here, it's a homely and relaxing environment to be and all served at a lovely leisurely pace. Thank you Isla and the family for making us feel so at home! After reading a few negative reviews before our visit, I can only assume some people are simply impossible to please! Every part of the experience—from the food to the Highland cows—was fantastic, and it's clear the staff go out of their way to create a memorable afternoon. Honestly, I can’t imagine how anyone could leave here without a smile on their face. It’s a rare find where both the food and the ambiance work together to create something truly special. For anyone looking for a little whimsy, a lot of flavour, and a chance to get up close with some of Scotland’s most iconic animals, this is an absolute must! Hearts and tummies will both go away full and smiling 😊

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!

What a fantastic find on Skye. We called in for a coffee in the morning, which was very good. After exploring the area for a few hours, beyond the cafe, I suggested to my husband we call in for a bite for lunch as there was not much else open between this place, and going to the Nest Lighthouse. We enjoyed the Quiche and salad, and a delicious piece of home baked slide. A delightful setting and with the sunny day, it was fabulous to sit outside the Yurt and in the garden, enjoying the scenery. Fabulous, friendly service too, and value for money, i.e. not expecting save for the coffee, slices or meal.

Fantastic brunch, arrived during a very bust spell, staff stayed cheerful and friendly and we got seated within 10 mins, I had Turkish egg and they were very good and very spice, Hubby had the black pudding skillet he said it was very good again something was spicy, the sourdough bread was a star. We also had a sweet treat each, myself a black forest doughnut this was amazing and hubby on the recommendation of another customer had the carrot cake this was also amazing we both also had a coffee each. I definitely recommend rain, for friendly staff, delicious well priced food and lovely atmosphere.

The best place to eat in Elgin. Everything is fresh and delicious, soups, wraps, bagels and daily specials. One word of advice when you do visit, ALWAYS leave room for the cake! ( or get it to take away, you won’t regret it.)

Delicious food, hot strong coffee, pleasant service, limited tables, got very busy, nicely decorated venue with lovely views. Would just say the menu is limited. However will definitely be back, clean and bright place to eat

So simple..a decorated container on a beautiful spot. Good coffee, lovely staff and delicious cakes and cookies. With a smile and cortado on our way back again.

Came here during a ride out from home on my Harley. Opted for Quiche, salad and a banana and strawberry smoothie. Food was totally delicious and I was able to get a table outside to both watch my bike, enjoy the sun and the amazing view. Highly recommend The Alley for an excellent lunch.

Really delicious coffee with the added extra of a “wee bit of tablet” on the side - a lovely touch by the wonderful staff in there. So much coffee to chose from too!
