Eating Out

Food is an important aspect of the heritage of any community or region and Shetland is no exception. Chefs here, as elsewhere, know that customers – be they visitors or local people – expect to see local produce on the menu. With such an abundance of fresh food available, there’s a great deal to enjoy.

The establishments in this directory offer a variety of services and styles. There are restaurants offering full meals, cheerful cafés and takeaways and firms who do outside catering for events. Please bear in mind, too, that there are other places to eat out not listed here. Good food can be found in town and country based on the use of fresh, local produce.
