"We dined on tapas at this restaurant and savored every bite. It truly felt like a taste of Europe. I particularly loved the black olive tapenade and the Spanish salad. The pomegranate smoothie was also delightful. The decor of the place is charming, giving off a vibe of a French or Spanish cafe with a hint of the orient. The service was excellent, with helpful recommendations on what to order. It was a fantastic experience to enjoy these flavors in the heart of Lerwick."

Love this little place. Lovely fresh baguettes and so many things to try. I have to say the waffle I had last night with chestnut jam was delicious ....they’re big too! View menu

Absolutely delicious and very authentic tiny French restaurant run by a family. We had scallops as well as the large prawns, and fabulous homemade bread and butter. The decor and atmosphere inside is authentic and very artistic French and modern.

I have visited C'est la Vie twice, once for breakfast and once for dinner. The food was fantastic and I believe it is very reasonably priced. The only issue I faced was deciding what to order because everything looked so good! I would definitely recommend this place!

Visited this lovely little cafe a couple of weeks ago during a work visit to Lerwick. I was feeling poorly but the friendly service and a delicious plate of mussels with Roquefort sauce took me back to many a happy time in France and made me feel s much better. Authentic food at a great price, can't wait to go back again! View menu

Our favorite restaurant in Shetland! We ate here three times and were warmly greeted by the proprietress despite our meager command of the French language. The food was perfectly prepared — we loved the haddock as well as the monkfish mains. The food is French with a Spanish ?basque) influence. The interior of the restaurant is charming. Wish we could have such a restaurant in our home town across the ocean!

we had tapas here and enjoyed every bite thoroughly. it was absolutely a taste of Europe. especially I enjoyed the black olive grove and the Spanish salate. the granatapfel smooth was also delicious. love the way the place is decorated, feels like they are in a French or Spanish caffe, with a hauch thrown by the orient! great service and advice, what to choose. so wonderful to get these tastes in the middle of lerwick.

"We had a meal last Friday at the steak house in town, and didn’t have a good experience. I left a detailed review on their Facebook page to warn others about it and it appears it’s gone! Can’t see how that’s fair as it was...a fair warning to anyone going. Makes me wonder how many bad reviews have been removed. Would give a lot fairer outlook and how overpriced and unprofessional they are! This wouldn’t be as bad if it hadn’t cost so much, as I’d happily pay for a brilliant meal, but the fact this is a steak house with high prices, you expect a certain standard. In brief, Aimees steak was well over cooked, so told the waiter, who comes back and claims the steak continues to cook after it’s been rested!!! Hillarious that the chef thought that was true, being a steak house they need to be nailing every steak perfect especially at their prices! So anyway, told the waiter that wasn’t the case and I’m well experienced in cooking steak, but he claimed that was still the fact. And instead of discounting our meal for aimees half eaten steak, they offered a free drink! Also the seafood we had with it was over cooked and dry, muscled were terrible, as was the langoustines, and tasteless. Didn’t get any recompense for that. My meal was fine, I had a ribeye and was cooked bang on, maybe ribeyes don’t cook themselves after they’ve been rested And as for charging each for their sides, on top of their expensive meal, bit of a **** take! And one of Aimees gins was advertised contained ginger fever tree and was to cost but they added the mixer on top of the And then on our way out, after I grudgingly paid for the meal (which wouldn’t be that bad if it was a nice dining experience), a member of the kitchen staff looked Aimee up and down in disgust, obviously annoyed at HER for HIM doing a poor job of cooking the food. We will never be back and if they’re deleting reviews, they could be a lot worse as just this experience. Edit: I’d like to point out I put this review on the page to warn others and also allow the business to take some criticism, the customer is always right and all that. Removing the review has just annoyed me, that’s why I’ve made this post."
