The River Bothy
A9, BerriedaleThis place is a wee gem. So friendly with fresh food and amazing cakes. We enjoyed lunch outside in the sun and returned later for tea and cake after a walk. Definitely one to return to.

Thyme and Plaice
10 Dunrobin St, HelmsdaleMy husband and I had the curry chicken with Basmati rice and naan bread it was delicious the spice on the curry had the perfect amount on it to give it that kick it needed. But I think for future reference the chicken curry needs to be served over the rice and the small salad needs more of the delicious dressing they give you.
We also had a slice of carrot cake which was a bit dry. Lemon Meringue pie was good nothing to get excited about.
But the cook and waiter where very welcoming and super nice with explaining in detail about their food
But as for the atmosphere kind of small but cute and unique in its own little way.

La Mirage Restaurant
La Mirage, 7-9 Dunrobin St, HelmsdaleWe had a lovely dinner at La Mirage last night. A very special dish of langostines was available, and they were delicious - and huge! The front room is a bit cramped, exacerbated by the very large party seated near us (great for the restaurant, a little less great for us). Service was warm and efficient, and we very much enjoyed chatting with the owner about the history of the place.

River Cafe
1, Timespan, Dunrobin St, HelmsdaleSadly I never got any pictures inside but this is a lovely little cafe, you can sit inside or head out to the garden which is next to the river.
I ordered what I thought was a normal fruit scone (just raisins) but it included a lot more including lemon peel. There were almonds on the top which I missed and had to scrape off. The kids enjoyed their crepes though. A nice little place to sit and relax.

The Tartan Lounge and Bar Restaurant
Stafford St, HelmsdaleAn Absolute Gem on the NC500 – Must-Visit!
Stumbled upon this fantastic spot while driving the NC500 and what a discovery! The Tartan Lounge and Bar Restaurant in Helmsdale completely exceeded expectations. The food was nothing short of amazing – everything we ordered was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. The burger was juicy and towering, fries perfectly crisp, and the haggis bites? Out of this world.
Service was superb – friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. You really get the feeling that they care about every guest who walks through the door. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, striking a perfect balance between a relaxed bar vibe and a quality dining experience.
This place is a true hidden gem along the NC500 route. If you're passing through Helmsdale, don’t miss it – it’s one of the best meals we've had on the journey. Highly, highly recommended. We left absolutely happy ❤️

C Food & Eat
Shore St, HelmsdaleThese experiences are unique where the quality of the seafood could match any top restaurant and it certainly did - and you want to prove the sceptics wrong.This is no ordinary food van Firstly it is located in the picturesque harbour of Helmsdale. The staff are so friendly engaging knowledgeable and passionate about their job The seafood is all fresh and caught by the owner who is a fisherman We had a langoustine salad which was generous reasonably priced at £8 considering how expensive langoustine are A scallop and monkfish skewer was being prepared as we waited and could not resist an image - we were tempted but unfortunately we had made other arrangements further up the coast
