The Barrier View Café…..

 

We’ve walked at Glimps Holm many times…..

A  fine January day, and we walked there again, then went for lunch to the Barrier View Café/Celina Rupp jewellery at the Commodore Hotel, Holm…..

 

 

Through into the café, which is light, airy, has terrific views - and music, but not too loud – an unfortunate tendency in cafés and restaurants these days…. 

 

 

Mike had Baked Tattie with Tuna and I had Spicy Bean Loaded Fries topped with cheese, which was gorgeous!  Really, exceptionally yummy…

 

 

And…big helpings.  I couldn’t finish mine, so the waitress kindly put what was left in a carton for me to take home.

 

We had  a look round the shop which presents Celina Rupp jewellery….

….and many other Orkney made items…

 

 

 

 

The place lives up to its name, with a view of the 1st Churchill barrier…..

And, if you time it right you might see a spectacular sunset….

 

 

 We'll be back.
