The Orkney isles may be small in size but they're very big here on producing a fantastic range of delicious food and drink of exceptional quality. Read more
With over 1,000 miles of coastline surrounded by the cool waters of the North Sea, Orkney is blessed with a constant supply of fresh, appetising fish and shellfish while the rich farmland produces some of Scotland’s most flavoursome beef and lamb - look out particularly for the famous seaweed-fed North Ronaldsay lamb. The islands have also carved out an enviable reputation for their cheeses, not to mention a little something to wash it all down, particularly whisky and beer.
With such amazing local produce to draw on, eating out in Orkney is always an experience with a great range of award-winning restaurants, cafés and bars to choose from. For a real foodie experience of your own making, you can pick up these fabulous fresh ingredients at farmers’ markets and butchers, fish mongers and a variety of local shops.
