Scapa Flow Restaurant

Nestled in the charming coastal town of Stromness, Scapa Flow Restaurant at The Stromness Hotel offers a dining experience inspired by Orkney's rich maritime heritage.

Named after the famous natural harbour nearby, the restaurant celebrates local flavours and seasonal produce, all served in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Diners can enjoy views over Stromness Harbour while savouring hearty dishes in a traditional setting.

Today, its shipwrecks make it a world-class diving destination. The restaurant pays homage to this seafaring legacy while celebrating Orkney's vibrant food culture.
