Kirkwall (Scottish Gaelic: Bàgh na h-Eaglaise) is the largest settlement and capital of Orkney, an archipelago in the north of Scotland, as well as the most populous island settlement in Scotland. The city is first mentioned in Orkneyinga saga in the year 1046 when it is recorded as the residence of Rögnvald Brusason the Earl of Orkney, who was killed by his uncle Thorfinn the Mighty. In 1486, King James III of Scotland elevated Kirkwall to the status of a royal burgh; modern roadsigns still indicate "The City and Royal Burgh of Kirkwall".

We ordered a cup of tea, a baked potato and a sandwich and it came to £20. It was good food but nothing special. Way overpriced for what it was. Staff quite blunt which came across as a bit rude and menu very messy, hard to read. I donât think weâll be back.

Wanted a quick snack for lunch and the town was busy. As described by previous reviewers the inside is shabby and dated. I thought maybe it was a theme type expierience ...but no ..it was for real . The chap behind the counter looked like he was a stand in, maybe the local farmer making an extra buck. His manner was that of a farmer, grunt, mumble, grunt . I was despeate for some nice coffee and saw at the back of the counter an expresso machine ....nice I thought ! ...so the "farmer" chap takes the mug and goes to the machine, I'm watching with the anticipation of a coffee addict .....looking for him to fill the portafilter pod with some lovely fresh ground coffee...but no !! He tries to hide what he's doing but I see him put a spoonful of instant coffee (!!!!!!!) from a small tin into the cup and then with dramatic panache hold it under the machines hot water outlet which makes a loud coffee espresso machine noise . Now suffering coffee cold turkey.... things just got worse. My scone was manufactured some time in February 1959 , the small plastic cube of industrial jam and frozen butter, the chicken and pesto pannini slapped together half a tube of tomato puree a teaspoon full of pesto from a jar and ....a hint of chicken . Give this place a miss unless you haven't eaten for a week or two.

Visited with 2 young children. Good selection of food with smaller options available for children. They were very accommodating of my daughters allergies and able to still provide her with many choices. Food was tasty and well prepared, good portion sizes and fair pricing. Clean cafe with toys/colouring in for younger kids. Baby change & high chairs available. Defiantly will be going back. Warm and friendly staff.
