Monty's Bistro, Lerwick
After being given directions during the day I finally found Monty's. Good write-up on the net - specialising in Shetland food and a cosy little upstairs dining area. Not sure about the orange walls.
Mussels to start in a double cream, lemon and a touch of green chili sauce. Super big mussels (hope they were local) but the sauce didn't have much chili touch at all.
Followed by Thick sliced heather-fed lamb in its own juice, buttered rosemary carrots and mashed Kerrs pink potatoes. That's what the menu said but it turned out to be lamb and 2 veg. Couldn't spot the difference the heather or rosemary or kerr made to the dish. Good food, well made but lacking in sparkle. Never even asked how I wanted the lamb cooked. Expensive wine. £35 all in.
