The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Highlands and Islands

We had driven around the north of the island and stumbled across this little gem. We had delicious sandwiches and totally sinful cakes. The tearoom is lovely, warm and homely and the staff are so friendly.

Visited Annie’s bakery whilst visiting up visiting family in Thurso. Amazing value for money alongside fabulous savouries and sweets. So much time and effort put into each. Transported plenty of goodies home to North Yorkshire, we will be back!! ☺️

My husband and me are regulars at EM’s so today when we visited we were saddened to see that she is closing down today. The baking has always been first class and the friendly staff, amazing. EM’s will be greatly missed in Dingwall. All that is left for me to say is that we wish Emily and her staff all the very best in the future. A truely brilliant baker.

This was a lovely wee stop en route to Gairloch and to be honest, not where we had originally planned to stop off. Forming part of the Lochcarron Golf Club but not quite located in the main part of the village, this was a no nonsense, comfortable café. We were greeted by a lovely waitress - she made my four year old son feel right at home and let him look after their ‘Baby Buddha’ ornament (Buddha’s are an obsession of his). She was proper helpful and without fuss, even done us takeaway food for my wife, who was babysitting in the motorhome. We ordered a few things but my Eggs & Avocado on Toast were done perfectly (runny Yolks / smooth Avocado). My Coffee was spot on and well needed after a long drive without any sort of stop off points. My son devoured his Scrambled Egg on Toast. The food was nothing out of this world but for me, it was just good home-cooking eaten at the exact right time! An added bonus of the location made this driving break even better - overlooking the Loch Carron inlet and miles of blue sky and greenery. I’d confidently say it falls into the hidden gem category of NC500 eateries - don’t be put off by the Golf Club pavilion facade!

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

We had some really delicious cake and tea. I would definitely recommend the banana chocolate cake and the apple caramel cake. The service was really nice and I would definitely stop there again.

Stopped for a quick bite and hot drink Lovely friendly lady serving. Extensive menu choices at fair prices. Nice a creamy coffe washed down the wild boar burger just fine.

What a brilliant place to enjoy refreshments! Absolutely stunning views! The food and drink is of top quality too. It’s open from April to end of September and defiantly worth a call when on North Uist

Lovely cosy little cafe, situated in the railway building on platform 1. Nice atmosphere, friendly locals and the owner is very knowledgeable and helpful with local information. A lovely lady made me a buttered baked potato with coronation chicken from a varied menu for under a fiver...great value. Nice stop to fill in time when waiting for the train, and round off a trip to the beautiful, welcoming and characterful Nairn. Both sit-in and takeaway are available. Thankyou, recommend to all for a taste of Highland hospitality.

Had a lovely lunch today in Raasay from this wee hidden gem. Lovely piping hot soup, toasties, ice cream, coffee and cakes.

Skydiver coffee is a hidden gem, the coffee is delicious and home brewed on the Hebrides, the cake and coffee are also fantastic - Skydancer coffee is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Unexpectedly good strong coffee at the Ardmhor ferry terminal on Barra. The sausage and Stornoway black pudding rolls were stuffed full and encased in the lightest flakiest pastry. In addition there was a good selection of cakes. There is an outdoor deck overlooking the Sound of Barra. A hidden gem and definitely worth arriving early for your ferry to Eriskay.

If I lived in Nairn, this would be my go-to café every day. The freshly made food is extremely tasty and the selection is extensive. The naturally endearing charisma of the owner, and her staff, add an extra satisfying portion of decadent spice. High streets everywhere need a place like this..
