Restaurant restaurants in Shetland Islands

  1. 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.

    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.

  3. Da Haaf Restaurant

    Being part of the North Atlantic Fisheries College, it’s no surprise that Da Haaf Restaurant specialises in seafood – and excellent local seafood at that. It’s solid value, but ring ahead to check if it’s open.

  4. C

    Raba Indian Restaurant

    Highly recommended curry house; Sunday buffet is a bargain at £9.50.

  5. Busta Lounge

    The lounge bar-restaurant at the Busta House Hotel is famed for its dedication to local produce – not only the seafood and lamb, but all dairy produce is from Shetland, and the beef is from Orkney. The more formal Pitcairn Room serves dinner only (£35 per person).
