Cafe Groat in Highland

Prices reasonable, service good, food very good. When my wife was served the wrong food, the owner, Mr Mowat, personally came to the table, apologised and within minutes, personally brought the correct food. We had a further two days in John O'Groats so had five meals there altogether - a superb cafe.

Cafe Groats has a fantastic menu and has beautiful views over the Pentland Firth to the Orkney Islands. The lobster rolls are awesome and loaded with lobster at a very reasonable price.

Amazing food!!!! The portions are huge and quality excellent. At first we were put off by the price, however once you receive the food and taste it, certainly worth every penny. Super friendly staff and really clean. Wish it was closer.

Excellent spot for a meal. Takeaway options very handy for us staying close by. Good vegetarian options and really fresh fish.

Perfect cafe with stunning views. We popped in for a cuppa to warm up after being typical tourists and taking all the photos! The cafe is large, sits in an amazing location with great views over the signpost and sea. Food a little pricey, but to be expected in the location you’re in. We only had drinks and made use of their toilet facilities. Would recommend.

This place has great food and suoer staff. My scallops were awesome, and the chowder was great too. Presumably the best food in the area.

We had an early dinner here, and breakfast the following morning. For dinner we had the scallops with chips and salad, lovely food and great value for money compared to prices we have been charged else where. Breakfast was great to and the view is just something else. Nice people doing a great job.

Amazing hot chocolate, excellent scotch pie and sausage roll, reasonably priced, very friendly and funny staff, wonderful views. What's not to love?

Absolutely amazing food and so many gluten free options. Thank you it was so nice to have a choice and the food was delicious 😊

We stayed at the nearby campsite on our NC500 trip and had a lovely hot chocolate and slice of rocky road on the day of our arrival. Dog friendly which was an added bonus. Lovely clean modern place. Found out that they did breakfast from 9am until 11.30 so decided to go for it next morning. All the usual suspects on a breakfast plate, bright yellow/orange yolk on the runny yolk of the fried egg, the bacon tasted extra special quality in my view. Lovely bit of haggis, and I inherited the other half’s slice of black pudding as well as my own, not overdone and exactly how I like it. I would eat breakfast here every day and twice on a Sunday it was so good. No hesitation in recommending it. Great prompt service too.

Really good lunch, fabulous scallop salad and a fish chowder would highly recommend. Friendly quick service.

Delicious food and quick service. We had lobster Mac and cheese and the lobster roll, both nice and generous portions :) We also ordered the loaded fries which were good but not needed in addition to the meals. Good view of the sign from the cafe.

I've spent a week trying out various meals at Cafe Groats along with the local beers. This isn't a regular cafe. The food comes out well presented and tasty simular to a restaurant. The Lobster Mac&Cheese and the Scallops have to be favourites so far. Great food, fantastic view out to sea, staff always so happy and helpful. Look forward to returning again.

We have eaten at Cafe Groats many times this summer. We have had breakfast rolls, haddock and chips, seafood salads, burger meals and macaroni. All dishes have been very fresh and tasty. The coffee is good too. They will make a child sized portion for younger eaters. The cafe is kept spotlessly clean and all staff are welcoming and friendly.

Lovely cafe, great coffee and the best seafood chowder I have ever had, it was beautiful. Lovely friendly staff.

This is the third review I have written about Cafe Groat; it seems Trip Advisor has chosen not to publish the first two. But it was so good I'll have a third go. Not immediately visible from the main car park in John O'Groats -...
