10. Central Cafe

Islesburgh cafe is fine - it's not outstanding for a special lunch, but there's nothing wrong with the food. It's very basic.A bright cafe with a lot of tables and standard food, as you would expect from a cafe inside a youth centre.It's a good price for what you get.

We saw the notice on the harbour front, and went, really as a last resort because we couldn't find anywhere else where we wanted to eat lunch in Lerwick. It was a really pleasant surprise. They produced an impressive gluten free afternoon tea for my wife (though apparently really prefer a days notice if you want gluten free cake.). Very friendly, efficient service and a pleasant place to sit. Highly recommended.

I popped in yesterday (20/07/19) to grab a roll for lunch. I ordered and then I noticed the girl behind the food counter holding her trainer and scrubbing it with a toothbrush. When the young lad who served me turned to tell her my order she put the toothbrush on a counter with food on it, and went directly to pull a roll from the box. The young boy said âdonât you need to wash your handsâ she sighed, gave him a look and begrudgingly went and washed her hands. I took the roll but dumped it outside as I was horrified and quite frankly felt sick. Iâve eaten here quite a few times and now Iâm seriously questioning their hygiene procedures. Wonât be going back.

Located near Fort Charlotte, this excellent cafe provides great Java, both fresh brews as well as espresso and espresso-based hot beverages. Comfortable tables and chairs furnish the interior, and there is a corner dedicated to children, with toys and stuffed animals. You order at the counter, pay and are served your food and beverage. The cafe also serves hot waffles, sandwiches, soups, burgers and cold beverages. Prices are modest.

New restaurant and bar offering high quality lunch and dinner focusing heavily on fresh local produce including seafood, meat and vegetarian options.

My wife and I had just arrived in Lerwick and were strolling around for a place to eat. We ended up having lunch at The String. The food was outstanding and we felt that it was reasonably priced. Between us we had a Pork Bao Bun, their soup of the day (potato), Shetland Haddock in beer batter and another special, small langoustine. Everything was delicious. Service was attentive and friendly.

Popped in here for a quick meal the other evening. I ordered a small smoked haddock and chips, when it arrived I was very glad I had gone small!! Very tasty and freshly cooked. The cafe is only small, but very clean and friendly. The chippy part of the shop was constantly busy, always a good sign.

Thi is a modern and well-located cafe/bar/restaurat in the heart of Lerwick. We stopped here a number of times for coffee and gluten-free cakes in the afternoon. The place gets booked-up quickly in the evenings and though we did not eat here I would recommend reserving a table in advance if you intend to.

We stopped for a break here last week when doing the round Lerwick walk. Really nicely decorated inside with a stunning view out to sea. Staff were very busy but friendly. Coffee good but the cakes are mouthwatering. We had a pancake and a triple chocolate shortbread cake. It was divine the most delicious Iâve ever tasted. We had to go back on our last day in Shetland to get some more. Iâve been googling recipes ever since in the hope of recreating it... no luck yet!Ps the toilets are great also , very clean and modern
