Located in Wick, Enjoy some delicious food in No1 Bistro... The 'Mey Selections' Steaks are fantastic. Being locally sourced, a bit more money is going back into the local farming community so it is a win-win situation.

If you haven't visited Annies Bakery yet, you're in for a treat! This is probably the best bakery I have found in this country and I’ve been to a few! Great selection, great taste and amazing cakes. The chicken and haggis pies are a must!

Perfectly located next to the iconic John O’Groats signpost, with breathtaking views over the Pentland Firth towards the Orkney Islands, Café Groats offers a warm welcome all year round, serving fresh, locally sourced seafood, homecooked meals, snacks and drinks. This family run café is the ideal spot to relax with a bite to eat after a day of exploring the stunning and dramatic coastline.
Located in Scrabster, Capilla is a wee hidden gem that I often recommend. I genuinely love this place. Think Cafe Andaluz but better. Capilla have a daily specials menu with fresh local seafood. The Scallops are huge! The Blanc Pescador (sparkling white wine) is a perfect pairing.
