Helgi's Bar & Restaurant
Helgi's
A Viking-themed harbourside bar and restaurant, the most-reviewed local favourite in Kirkwall, serving burgers and seafood with Orkney beer.
Located at 14 Harbour Street, overlooking the quay, Helgi's has more reviews than any other restaurant in Kirkwall and is popular with locals. Decorated with a Viking theme, it serves hearty, no-nonsense food: classic beef burgers, the Old Man of Hoy burger with optional haggis, scallop starters, seafood chowder, and fish and chips, with Orkney beer. There is live folk music at times. Admission is for over-18s only. The kitchen stops taking orders around 21:00. It fills up in peak season, so booking is recommended, and service can be slow at busy times.
