An interesting cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Great coffee and a good selection of food. We arrived too late for full choice of food, our fault. It’s open 10am to 4pm with plenty of parking.

The Shorehouse

Reviewed By K and R

We were driving along NC500 and decided to stop for lunch. Taking the off the beaten path track we arrived at the ferry dock to Hanna island. What a wonderful view! We had the smoke salmon and prawns which were delicious..Lunch was a wee expensive but with the sunny day and atmosphere it was worth it...The Shorehouse is a must visit!

Loved it! So beautiful and a lovely theme and restoration! Fab food and even better cakes! Such a beautiful venue and friendly service. Not the best for knowing about allergies in the cakes however there are options for most people.

The Pier

Reviewed By Foodster71

This place is wonderful. Great service , great food all locally sourced, beautiful location , great ambience and very reasonably priced. We turned up at eleven - that horrible in between time after breakfast and not quite lunch time. Many places have that hour just for coffee and cakes but not here. We were thrilled to be given the choice of the lunch menu or the breakfast - how sensible is that ? We opted for the Pier breakfast- potato scones, bacon, eggs, black pudding etc but there is vegetarian or smoked salmon options. It was beautifully cooked, hot and fresh on lovely crockery. Hot drinks were fab - loved my latte which was hot and not the dreaded luke warm. Lunch menu looked amazing and we contemplated having a wee snooze in the car and then going back in for lunch. Shame this isn’t on my doorstep as I’d never be out of here. Thanks again, guys for some great food and great service.

The Whale Tale

The Whale Tale is a wee cosy Restaurant on the west coast of Scotland surrounded by ocean, lochs and mountains, situated in the middle of NC500 route.

Reviewed By pauldwit

My wife and I chanced upon the Whale Tale by complete chance whilst staying at the Scourie campsite (which is excellent). We’ve traveled a lot and eaten at many fine restaurants with famous chefs and impressive reputations. Without doubt the food at the Whale Tale is quite simply sensational. If you’ve eaten at the Witchery in Edinburgh or the Three Chimneys in Skye then expect a similar taste sensation here. For starters We had a superb Cullen Skink with the right balance of smokiness of the fish and creaminess and delicacy of the soup needed, with the other other starter a lemon soul ceviche which was as fresh as it was zesty. Mains were perfectly delicate sea bream and a punchy, melt in the mouth venison main. The couple who run this hidden gem hail from the Czech Republic have created a relaxed, inviting atmosphere and deserve all the success and accolades that will doubtless come. At the moment they don’t have a license which means it’s BYOB, however that’s no big deal as the food is the star here. Whether you’re doing the Nc500 or are in the area, you simply have to go here. We’re planning our return already

Whaligoe Steps Cafe

Reviewed By Prudol

I stayed here one night whilst walking the John O'Groats Trail which goes past. I received a very warm welcome from John and Karen.My room was large with a comfortable bed. Some things were a bit rough and ready but I had no problems. Basic facilities though the shower was excellent. The rogue basin tap got me every time!I was lucky to be able to eat supper with the couple. Ramen noodles were delicious and pudding with cream was devine.Breakfast of home made granola, toast and coffee.A great place to stay and eat on the coast.

Crannag Bistro

Award winning Highland restaurant serving local ingredients in contemporary dishes. Organic and vegan wines, North Highland whiskies and Cairngorm beers, unpretentious food and a true Highland welcome. Booking always recommended!

Reviewed By LucyEmmaW

Following positive reviews on Trip Advisor, we booked for a meal here while on holiday. This was one of the BEST meals I have had, anywhere in the world, in recent years. I started with the cheese soufflé which was absolutely out of this world. The flavour was delicious, the texture super light and the chilli cream sauce a beautiful accompaniment. My companions thoroughly enjoyed their chanterelles on toast too. A beautiful steak followed with french fries, mushrooms and tomatoes. Other dishes which delighted were the confit duck with hoi sin sauce and pancakes and sausages too. Desserts were of an equally high standard too. I’d recommend the chocolate pot which was one of the best I’ve ever had. Service was attentive but not intrusive and Ian, the owner, was a great host. This gem of a restaurant is small and intimate but the standard of food was better than that of an establishment in a major city; if you are in the Bonar Bridge area, eating here is an absolute must and for us, provided a cherry on the top of our wonderful holiday in the area.Wow! Thank you for your super review! So pleased you enjoyed your holiday in the far north and especially your evening at the Crannag. Our cheese soufflé is very popular and a little bit different. The ambiance at the Crannag is enhanced when lovely people come in to enjoy themselves, and it was a pleasure to serve you. Hope to see you again next time you visit this beautiful part of the world.
