Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visited the bake house on a Wednesday only to find that they bake only on a Friday and a Saturday.They had a loaf left over from the previous weeks baking which they gave to me.Had it as toast the next day and it was excellent...sourdough.Also bought one of their croissants which was just perfect. If you are looking for excellent sourdough bread and croissants you can’t find anything better on Orkney.More

Hands down the best meal we had in Orkney. The restaurant is warm and inviting and the staff are all friendly. It is a cosy wee place and there aren't many seats so you'll need to book. The pizza was excellent but the real highlight...was the dessert pizza which was amazing. The only negative is that it is only open two nights a week - we had to rush from the ferry on the Sat so could eat there! Highly recommend if you're lucky enough to be on Mainland Orkney when it is open.More

Walking into the bistro you feel transported to the Mediterranean, the music the atmosphere the scents, the decor. You do not feel you in the middle of nowhere in the Orkney Islands that’s for sure! The service was fab, fast and efficient. Staff were friendly...and the food was top nosh! Such a great selection of pizzas, drinks and puddings. We will definitely be back!!More

Fantastic pizzas at this location and really lovely family serving them up. A little bit out of the way but we’ll worth the visit

We managed to get a table here last Friday evening and were so glad we did. The pizza was terrific - tasty, well-cooked and handmade to order, and the starters were equally good (and with generous portion sizes). We had the tomato and mozzarella salad,...and the cheesy garlic bread to start, and they were excellent. We followed this with the some like it hot pizza, which was really good, and not too hot. The ambience is wonderful, and the customer service excellent. We were made to feel welcome and appreciated by Phillipa (one of the owners), and it was nice to see the open kitchen arrangement, featuring co-owner Ian making the pizza bases individually. The wood-fired pizza oven imparted good textures and flavour. The buzz in the restaurant was obvious, and this was by far the best dining experience we had during our stay in Orkney. It's only open at weekends, so make sure one of the first things you do when you arrive on the island is make a booking! This is a must-do for our next visit to Orkney. Well done to Phillipa, Ian and the team!More

Managed to get an early table after calling in by chance during the day to get a coffee. The cafe wasn’t actually open but the owners happened to be in and heard us looking at the “honesty box” bakery section and invited us in and...made us a coffee. Had a lovely chat with them whilst drinking the coffee and booked for later that week. Had a great sourdough pizza and homemade dessert. You’ll need to book in advance to get in!More

Just amazing !! Eviedale bakehouse has the most wonderful products. Went for sit in pizza tonight (also do takeaway pizza) Best pizza in Orkney. Also had a gluten free option that my friend said was the best she had ever had. Cosy little bistro. Parking...outside. Bring your own bottle, as not licensed but soft drinks available. AND !! Did you know that you can get 'pudding pizza' ? 3 choices, all sounded delicious but full after the normal one. Honestly box for the bakehouse offering bread, sweet treats & savoury treats. What more could you ask for ? Phillipa & her team are lovely. Did I mention the gelato too !! Definitely a most go to placeMore

Best pizza my husband has ever had. As I have food intolerances and they helped me with bespoke menu which was completely delicious.. and top restaurant quality. Lovely building made for a special meal. We also tried their almond croisants which were exceptional.

The food was lovely, it was the best pizza I have had. My wife has problems with allergies and they could not have been more understanding or helpful and made sure she had a lovely meal. Everyone was extremely friendly. One of the many highlights...of our trip to the Orkneys. Wish we lived nearer to go back often.More

We got bake at home pizzas for our last night whilst on holiday on the island - pick up was smooth, pizzas were packaged excellently with cooking instructions. The pizzas were delicious- toppings and crusts super tasty! We ate them so quickly we forgot to...take a photo… Lots of veggie options as well. Would recommend to anyone!More

Booked a collection slot and ordered pizza by email which was straight-forward. Pickup was easy with a small car park for 2-3 cars behind the building. Pizza was great and we enjoyed it with a sea view at the nearby beach.

We had the sourdough croissants and a sourdough loaf, both tasted lovely and testament to the time taken to develop the dough. The honesty shop is a great idea. We will be back again
