The Taversoe - Carta

Friendly attentive staff, fabulous food and view. Lovely gardens and friendly Newfie guard dog! Easy to find

We popped in between tombs on our day at Rousay. Hot drinks and amenities just when we needed them, and the kids were welcomed.

This restaurant is a wonderful choice for a delicious and diverse dinner. The staff is friendly and the view overlooking the sea towards Orkney Mainland is fantastic. Ver carta

We came for coffee after visiting Midhowe. Even though we phoned only 10 minutes before they were closing they were very welcoming. And we enjoyed watching the starlings from the window. A very peaceful small place, a must if you are on Rousay.

I loved this place. It doesn't look much as you approach but the rooms are stunning and the south facing ones have their own French windows and decking with chairs to enjoy the view across the water. Idyllic Very welcoming, friendly, extremely helpful and obliging staff, and great food.

We visited the island for the day and thought we were not going to find anywhere to eat. This place saved our bacon and provided an excellent substantial snack lunch for 4 hungry souls. open at limited times so take care to check before visiting. Beautiful outlook and hotel looked interesting if staying to explore the many island sites. Good food. Good service. Ver carta

We spent two nights at The Taversoe and had a wonderful experience! The rooms were lovely with amazing views. The breakfast and dinner were outstanding, exceeding the expectations for a secluded location. The packed lunches were also delicious, featuring local cheeses. We had a great time on the Rousay tour and highly recommend it. If you have the chance, definitely stay or dine at The Taversoe!

I recently visited the restaurant and bar with my family who live on Rousay. The staff at the bar were friendly and welcoming, and the food was excellent. The menu offered a great selection to cater to all tastes, with freshly made dishes. The restaurant boasted lovely views of the sea, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable considering the quality of the food and drinks. Despite its unassuming appearance from the road, the restaurant/bar is a great spot for a meal on the island. I also recommend taking the island tour with Patrick, as he is an excellent guide.

Midhowe Cairn has reopened! Made a day trip to Rousay. Fish and chips were highly recommended by a local but I had the seafood platter instead and the cullen skink. The cullen skink was good, would have gotten 4.5 stars from me if it came with a crunchier roll. The bread was fresh and soft though. The seafood platter was a very reasonable price with the spread. I especially enjoyed the crab and the smoked mackerel. The landlady was very helpful when my car became a bit temperamental and volunteered help when she noticed my bonnet up. Overall, a very excellent hearty meal followed by some exercise climbing down to the Cairn. Ver carta
