Fjara Café Bar
Fjarå Cafe Bar
A glass-fronted café bar on the Lerwick seafront, serving Shetland produce from breakfast through dinner. Seals are often spotted basking nearby.
Opened at the end of 2014 on a small headland on Sea Road, south of Lerwick's centre, close to a large Tesco supermarket. Floor-to-ceiling windows face the bay; on clear days you may see seals, and in strong winds you can watch waves crash on the shore. Serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, cakes and cocktails all day. The menu changes with the seasons, and reviews often mention Cullen skink and Shetland lamb. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available. Around £15–35 per person; book ahead for dinner and weekends. About a 20-minute walk from the town centre.
Opening hours
Tue–Sat 8:00–20:00, Sun 9:00–17:00, closed Mon (check the website)
