The Plout Kirn - Orkney Islands

This little community is, and not a goal. because of the hour we have chosen to stop here for dinner. the small restaurant was cozy, the service friendly and helpful and eating, surprisingly very good, beyond our expectations. the scallops were excellent and the steaks were nothing less than perfect. a selection of food for children simplified our stop, and the selection of beer and ales made it even more interesting.

Dounby is not exactly on every trip, but the plout kirn restaurant in the smithfield hotel could be a good reason to put it there. it is a small and cozy environment with surprisingly excellent eating. my wife and I enjoyed the scallops that. were cooked to perfection and served with a delicate cream sauce and vegetables. a very good dinner together.

We have to eat at the smithfield hotel restaurant for our first night to orkney. I had found that they could be done with my GF diet, but still I was amazed at the choice that is open to me, even in november. the renter explained that his wife was also gf, so the speciality was a natural for her. gf pastas function on the menu, as well as the normal rice and kartoffel based meal I'm looking in the rule. I decided to have a delicious mushroom risotto that was not disappointed while my man who did not gf opt for a torte. the orange juice had to be taken from small, commercially marketed packings, but when we eat again a few days later, they had freshly squeezed orange juice and also tempting menus, both a restaurant and bar menu offered. at the second opportunity we were also tempted to try a dessert that was delicious, both the sticky toffee pudding that I decided and the lemon of my mannes. service was not fast, but then you should not expect it to be fresh when food is prepared to order. the personal was pleasant, the renter was extremely helpful, so we use the hotel phone to contact bt when the local phone box proved not to be ordered. it is definitiv somewhere where we eat again when we have visitors. I have already found that they can take vegetarian and vegan diets as well as gluten-free, and additionally has many meat and fish dishes with locally used foods. the hotel, to which this restaurant is connected, is located directly on the crossing dounby and has a caffe and bar and restaurant and hotel. I wrote the review under the hotel name, but ever since the names above the door noticed!

A wonderful discovery on the western mainland of orkney varied menu all beautifully cooked and presented. try the steaks aberdeen angus orkney gold best. the local bark cannot beat.

Apperances can be decieving, we ate here as my daughter spotted it when we were in the shop across the road and begged us for days to go there. We were not dissapointed, my husband ordered the fillet which was cooked perfectly and came with...an abbundance of side dishes the kids menu had more than just chicken nuggets and chips which was great to see, they serve a good selection of local ales, and the service was first class would definately reccomend
