Every entry comes from the eat-and-drink pages of our Shetland guide. Tags such as vegetarian options, outdoor seating and step-free access are shown only where OpenStreetMap contributors or the venue’s own site say so (4 of 23 places carry at least one tag).[1] A missing tag means we have no report, not that the place lacks it. We hold no prices and no reviews, so there is no budget or “best” filter: check menus on each venue’s site.
