A
Queen’s Hotel
The dining room in this slightly run-down hotel wins marks for its harbour views – book one of the window tables. While some of the roast-pork-with-fish combo platters are a bit strange, the seafood here is pretty good – the catch of the day is reliable, and the Queen’s stew is a feast of molluscs and crustaceans. Portions are generous, too.

B
Peerie Shop Cafe
If you’ve been craving proper espresso since leaving the mainland, head to this gem of a spot, with art exhibitions, wire-mounted halogens and industrial-gantry chic. Newspapers, scrumptious cakes and sandwiches, hot chocolate that you deserve after that blasting wind outside, and – more rarely – outdoor seating give everyone a reason to be here.

C
Monty’s Bistro
Though well hidden away behind the tourist office, Monty's is far from a secret and Shetlanders descend on its wee wooden tables with alacrity. The happily orange upstairs dining room is fragrant with aromas of Gressingham duck and local mussels from the short, quality menu, and the wine list has some welcome old friends.

D
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.

La Piazza
Upstairs from Osla’s Cafe, La Piazza is where you’ll discover the joys of Italian cooking. Authentic, thin-crust pizzas are just like Papa used to make…well, almost.

G
Fort Café
Lerwick’s salty air often creates fish-and-chip cravings. Eat in, or munch down on the pier if you don’t mind the seagulls’ envious stares.
