"Had the afternoon of from work so decided to take my mother out for lunch and after a quick look on trip advisor I found Da Haff restaurant at the nautical college in Scalloway and thought I would give if a shot and I'm glad I did, so I decided to give the fish cakes ago and boy were they good probably the best fish cakes iv had from a restaurant lovely and light with a brilliant ratio of fish to potato (as other place iv had fish cake tend to put far too much potato over fish and they end up to heavy)with a side of chips and cheese and my mother had fish and chips which she said was lovely as well but it could of been better if the chips were home made and not bought in."

If you happen to be in Scalloway around lunch time please do nip in for lunch. Of course you have to have fish, it's delicious and very reasonable.

Very enjoyable lunch with good friendly service and delicious food. A lovely view of the end of the voe is a bonus, and we had the pleasure of seeing a fly- past by an unusual aircraft which flew very low over the water. View menu

This restaurant is contained within the North Atlantic Fisheries College and I am led to believe that it is the students dining room. On certain nights of the week it is a restaurant open to the public but you need to make a reservation.

De Haaf was recommended by a local and we are glad we took her advice and visited for lunch. The restaurant is rather plain but has the most splendid views over the sea loch and port. The food is simple, with a strong fish bias, but was expertly cooked. The staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful with our slightly fussy vegetarian. There were quite a number of locals eating when we visited which is always a good sign.

"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."
