This bar was made out of garage and it have motor car on top of bar (inside).And it was so wholesome , people were super friendly, and the bar lady I forgot the name but was so soft spoken over that she told us the deep history of Orkney and few places we can visit.And definitely beers and spirits were good.You can play and sing.

I ordered from the Sakura Kitchen on the recommendation of a "foody" friend. We had the Chicken, Salmon and Vegetarian Bentos - they were absolutely exquisite to look at and delicious to eat. Also (and this was a surprise) the dishes were really filling.We will definitely order from here again. Thank you for a lovely treat!

The squid starter was lovely, crispy, light batter and juicy squid. The fillet steak was cooked to perfection and so big I asked for a doggy bag! Lovely service and great views.

The Strynd, Kirkwall

It's not a fancy place, with fine china or silverware, there's no cashmere or grandfather clock. Still, there's comfortable seats, good coffee, excellent fresh baked goods and a feel that can only be described as homeliness. While sitting there I didn't feel like I was on a windy island in the north sea/north Atlantic, I felt at home.The prices were just right, and there's nothing I can flaw. I would definitely come back.

Popped in for a hot drink and a snack. The menu had something for everyone. Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food, the staff were nice and the food was served quickly. Not the fanciest decor, but I don’t eat decor. The prices were very reasonable. I would recommend.

Albert St, Kirkwall

Highly recommend the "fresh cream donut"!! 5 stars.I highly recommend the fresh cream donuts. It’s the best fresh cream I’ve ever tasted in my life. It’s cheap and super delicious. Definitely recommended!!! Go buy it early in the morning because it will be sold out by cruise tourists between 10 and 11 o’clock. I couldn't buy it anymore when I went back later. The milk was average. The cream biscuits were average. The store clerk was very friendly.

Church Rd, St Margaret's Hope, Orkney

Definitely book ahead, as the whole restaurant was packed when we arrived. We had booked though, so our table was reserved. The food was beautifully cooked, well presented and plentiful. One disappointment was that the Scapa Skillen sauce, served with the haggis and black pudding balls, was served with mushrooms. I'm allergic to mushrooms, so wouldn't have chosen that option if I'd known (not mentioned on the menu). Other than that, we had a great meal. One of the best things is that vegan options are available, including ice cream, at no extra cost which is a refreshing change from most other places.

Great pub I blundered into on my tour of Scotland. Lively is an understatement. Bumped into a guy from my home city in Ireland ( what are the odds? Lol)and we had a great night.
