  1. A

    Hay’s Dock

    The upstairs cafe-restaurant in the Shetland Museum sports a wall of picture windows and a fairweather balcony that overlooks the harbour. Its clean lines and pale wood recall Scandinavia, but the menu relies on carefully selected local and Scottish produce. Lunch dishes range from smoked-salmon sandwiches to seafood chowder, while the evening menu concentrates on seafood and steak.

    Hullabaloo

    At weekends locals flock to this contemporary restaurant at the Robert Burns Centre. For lunch there’s wraps, melts and ciabattas, but come dinner time it’s inventive angles on traditional creations – with imaginative fish dishes perhaps best on show.

    Restaurant Museu Es Baluard

    The terrace cafe of Es Baluard is as good for a snack (€2.90 to €9.95) or bocadillo (filled roll; €3.45 to €5.50) as for a more substantial meal. The former include tandoori wraps, nachos and noodles, but you can also just order a drink and enjoy the view that stretches from the Castell de Bellver to the Catedral.

    Amadip Esment

    This agreeable place east of the old town combines numerous spaces – an organic food store with attached cafe serving sandwiches and salads, and a lively cafe-restaurant with mains costing as little as €5.

    There's little that's too imaginative in the cooking, but the tastes are fresh and the international dishes well-prepared. The outdoor tables are lovely when the weather's warm.

    S'Esponja Café

    A jug of sangría and pa amb oli (with unusual variants on the theme, such as the capresse, a mozzarella and tomato combo), perhaps followed by a little cake, is not a bad way to start the night at this funky eatery. It also does terrific salads and the service is attentive yet casual.

    Room

    Be taken right through the day, from breakfast to cocktails, at this stylish and very contemporary collaboration between the two owners, a chef and a pastry chef. You'll find a few fish and meat mains, but this is more about a lighter touch, with pasta dishes, tapas, salads and home-made desserts.
