The Smithy - Orkney Islands

After a 30-minute ferry ride from Kirkwall to Orkney, followed by a quick 2-minute walk, visitors will arrive at the delightful Smithy restaurant on the island of Shapinsay. Guests are greeted with a warm welcome and can enjoy a variety of delicious house-made sandwiches, toasties, and soups to satisfy any hunger. And if there's still room for more, be sure to try their incredible homemade cakes.

Breakfast, tee, coffee this teestube is exactly what is needed on shapinsay. the workers bake not only bread and cake, but go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. the cook even offered to come early to cook us breakfast. thanks smithy cafe graeme and jack

The coffee at this restaurant is exceptional (which is not something I often say). The atmosphere is lovely, and the food looked enticing, but we were only there for a coffee so we didn't try any dishes. Just be aware that they close around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so make sure to arrive in time.

The warm and friendly atmosphere of this restaurant created a welcoming ambiance. The dining experience was delightful, with the best soup I've ever had - roasted vegetables in a creamy broth, garnished with fresh coriander and chili.

Good friendly service home bakes always too good making it hard to choose just one cake.
