A delightful owner runs an excellent bistro within the premises of the golf club. The food is freshly made to a high standard. There is a good selection on the menu in addition to the daily ‘specials’. My bacon, chicken and cheese sandwich was really tasty and my wife’s Brie, chicken and bacon wrap came with excellent French fries. The service was very friendly and quick and the whole ambience was of a bistro rather than a clubhouse - you did need to pay a £1 membership to cover the legal aspects of using the golf club facilities. Overall it was a great place for lunch - catering for all activities!

We went to the Tarbat Bistro for lunch and it was fantastic. Possibly the best macaroni cheese I’ve ever had. They even had gluten free ciabatta so my sister had plenty of choice despite being coeliac. The coffee is top notch, you don’t expect to get proper coffee like that in such a small village. Highly recommend, we’ll be back for lunch, dinner and drinks next year! Thank you Donna, Anne and team.Dietary restrictions: Most of the menu can be made gluten free and my sister said the GF ciabatta was excellent.

Quality bistro with a varied menu. Newly refurbished in a lovey setting overlooking the golf course. The food was excellent; best macaroni cheese ever, home made tartare sauce with the scampi and catering for gluten free need. The coffee is also a highlight if you like string but smooth barista made coffee. Highly recommended and we will definitely go back.

Well what can I say, the food was outstanding and the service great! The sampi was to die for. The homemade tartar sauce was incredible as was the coleslaw. These little amazing side additions to the main dish made it 10x better. The chips were also superb! Kids had chicken goujons and a tuna sandwich, and were perfect size and great price. Goats cheese salad was also top notch. We finished off with some takeaway homemade cakes ?

This is the second time we have been at this cafe. First time it said it was open but went there on a Wednesday lunchtime & it closed to public then. Went today - very busy & service slow. Menu on board - the 2 things I would of liked to eat had sold out! So we left. Disappointed in this cafe ? what do you think?

What a lively surprise to find this beautiful, super friendly lunch spot after visiting the Tarbat discovery centre. Perfect lunch outside in the sun admiring the view. Fantastic service. Highly recommend.

Surprised to find that, despite several signs, there was no coffee nor cake available on a Sunday afternoon. There was the offer of the coffee machine being switched on to provide hot water for tea but with the warning that this would take a while.
Nice food for lunch and small compact place for service. Friendly staff as well.ba variety of options and accommodated small portion sizes.

We enjoyed a late lunch here after golf and a walk to the lighthouse. Very tasty, prawn open sandwiches and a cheese and ham ciabatta both with a good side salad. Cakes brought home for afters too. Thoroughly recommend this little place next to the golf course. Tables inside and out with views over the golf course.

I visited Tarbat & Bistro Bar with my girlfriend for some lunch and it couldn’t have been a better experience! From the super friendly staff, to the amazing food and vibes, there really was no flaws with this place. I ordered the Halloumi Ciabatta and it was easily a 10/10. If you’re ever in Port or passing by, get yourself over to Tarbat Bistro as you won’t regret it!

We arrived late for lunch. Nothing was too much trouble for Granny Anne. Our sandwich was lush and the home bakes were the BEST ever. Donna (owner) is beautiful inside and out. And locals Bob and Scott were so welcoming The golf club made our visit to Portmahomack so special. Thank you ❤️ xx
