Dores Inn in Highland

Incredible food. Super friendly staff. Definitely recommend good prices.. burger was super good 👌

Lovely view the road into the carpark is terrible it's full of potholes

The best food we had on our trip! Lovely atmosphere and staff were great! Highly recommend

Great traditional Scottish pub.

Very good food and super friendly service. Right on Loch Ness.

Our flight was delayed into Inverness, but our much anticipated meal here made the wait worthwhile. Hubby has the burger and I tried the dirty Mac & cheese and it did not disappoint. Very good portion sizes (too full for dessert) and as always, the staff are so lovely & friendly. This is now our tradition. Fly to Inverness and head straight here for a wonderful meal and stunning views.

Made a quick coffee stop on our drive. Great place with excellent views and good service

The fish burger was delicious and views of the loch from the back garden are incredible.

Hyggelig lille sted, hvis man ikke forventer den store gourmetmiddag Guinness pie var super lækker smag Sødt personale

Really nice place, the staff is incredible. The food was really good.

Simple furnishings but very friendly service and very, very tasty food

Great place near the Loch Ness lake. Great local food with good atmosphere.

Good value for money for the meal. Gazebo dining with views of Loch Ness

The Dores inn was closed on the day we visited but the views from the car park was worth the visit 👌

My wife and I were disappointed in this restaurant especially since it had been recommended (perhaps it was the only restaurant in the area). The room we sat in was small and dingy, and the servers were less than enthusiastic - we had to ask them for everything, including basic condiments. Also they didn’t have the shepherds pie that I had ordered which was disappointing. The lady at the bar was the exception, as she was warm and friendly! While, I hate to give bad reviews - in a nutshell - this restaurant had no ambience and poor service.

I came here just for the views. They did not disappoint. The good was ok. The service was good. I'd come back here to spend a day or two easy.

Always best vibes whenever we go. This time we went for drinks and to enjoy the views of the Lochness. Nice day for it. Great service too!

Beautiful food, amazing vibes !! And lovely staff overlooking the most beautiful loch !!

The pub is located at the beginning/end of Loch Ness with a great view of the lake. Quaint. We sat outside.

Great pub in a lovely spot over Loch Ness. The food was fantastic. We had fish and chips, haggis and pie and everything was delicious.

We sat outside, beautiful weather and location, service was fast and waiting staff were polite. The food was poor quality freezer food. Dry, over cooked burger and very thick oily batter on the haddock burger, bread was ok. Frozen chips, poorly presented. I’m guessing this place makes its money through the summer to survive off peak as I would be very surprised if there was much returning trade. Maybe the sandwiches would have been ok.

We came in without a reservation, were greeted very friendly and got a table after a short wait. The pub is more spacious on the inside than you think from the outside. There is a beautiful view of Loch Ness and you can also sit outside if the weather is good. Very friendly staff, very tasty food and good knowledge about allergies and intolerances. The only negative points: tall people have to be careful not to hit their heads. The parking lot was very muddy. And it resonates a lot in the interior. If the other guests are loud, your head will be pounding at some point, even without alcohol.

A great little pub, very friendly and helpful staff. Did not have food so can't comment. An excellent choice of whiskys available.

Friendly bartenders at cute & comfortable bar. GREAT scenic location. It was cold and windy so we did not sit outside. We were waited on promptly. Mixed drink and beer were ordered. Group of 11 sat inside the bar comfortably for 45 min.

Nice oldie pub with a lovely location next to a beach.

Great location, lovely garden overlooking Loch ness. Staff were friendly.

Facing Loch Ness Lake, nice place, but watch out for the Midges 🦟, friendly and professional staff

Exactly what you'd expect from a small pub. Good food at a good price.

Very nice small pub by Loch Ness. Enjoyed a hot drink overlooking the loch

Happy and friendly staff, great food, quick service and served very quickly. Would certainly return. Good portion sizes, great customer service.

It's a lovely place in front of the Loch Ness, and the best of it is the people running the Dores Inn who is exquisite !

We just stopped for a snack. Fantastic tables (undercover or not) facing the loch. Welcoming staff at the outdoor bar. Swift service. Great selection of food and drink. Chips were the best chips we have ever had! Will def go back for lunch/dinner.

Had a wonderful time here after canoeing the Great Glen Way, I think we were all slightly delirious! Excellent chips! Very cute setting and space to sit outside. Also wanted to say a huge thank you to the lovely staff member (sorry I don't know name but he was on shift evening of 25th August) who responded with very good humour to our slightly strange requests (e.g. please can we have a one of those burger stick...no burger, just the stick..) and made our friend's birthday so fun! Below a whittled canoe and sticks for paddles...

Great location, very tasty food and an amazing view of Loch Ness!!!

The place is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. It is a beautiful place with a nice park behind it. You can enjoy wonderful recreation here, also for children.

Magnificent location that really catches my eye!

Fish and chips was good and view of the loch. Definitely explore the woods after a walk down the beach. Poke bowl was lovely attempt but not really poke. Lovely staff and atmosphere great beers

Abbiamo letto su di un libro sulla Scozia di questo ristorante… da non perdere… Ci siamo fermati e non possiamo che confermare la correttezza della nota! Pranzo scozzese squisito, forse il miglior haggis e il miglior steak and guinnness pie mai provati! Personale molto cordiale. Prezzi molto concorrenziali.

An idyllic setting on the shores of Loch Ness.

Brilliant food and drinks .and wow what a view hands down the best place we have been in the UK

A warm welcome and an excellent meal. We had the fish and chips- fresh, light and crispy- superb, and the haggis - best ever - flavouful and creamy. Definitely recommend this beautiful spot for a great meal!

Food was alright. Service walking around doing nothing 5 people in there. Wrong order and no sauce....I got it myself. Good help is hard to get.But great location.location.

Haggis, a pint and a swim in Loch Ness is possible! To do absolutely.

Perfect place at Loch Ness. Outdoor Pub with perfect view, great food and lovely staff.

Good fun. The pub part is really small we have a dog so couldn't go into the large restaurant. Good pub food can't go wrong.

We ordered 2 drinks and 1 latte, waiter told me we will bring the coffee to your table, then they brought the coffee to another table, then I went and asked where is my order. They said you were around there and my colleague served you, I told it wasn't for us and I even didn't touch to that table and you brought it to a wrong one. He said I don't care :) Anyway, I normally don't like to write bad comments but good luck with your 1 star from now on

Lovely pub food, quick service and lovely setting!!

Service is quick, friendly staff, great views, dog friendly

It's a cozy little pub, but we always sat outside (we were here twice) and watched Nessie 🙃😉. The service is excellent and the view is phenomenal. The food was very tasty, I had fish and chips.

Sadly on the outside beer is only served in plastic cups. That’s why it is a 4 of 5 stars. Food tastes good, portions are reasonable to fed even the hungry ones and there is a lovely view on the Loch Ness. Also for a place that touristic the prices are still fair. Others would take more.

Absolutely lovely food. Very friendly young people serving us. A beautiful view. Great place to visit. Also nice for a dip if you can brave the cool water.

Great experience sitting next to Loch Ness

Beautiful village, serene, just the wow factor, beautiful place

Very friendly staff and the food is good for the price.

Awful experience. If i could give it zero i would. The owners of the Dores Inn are quite clearly capitalizing on the location as the food & service are abysmal. Add to this the owners, who put in an appearance when we complained, were quite clearly intoxicated. Horrendous experience never to be repeated. Visit Loch Ness by all means, but travel the 10 minutes back to Inverness to get some good food and decent service

Very tasty food at a stunning location, with a great atmosphere

The silk stout was top notch and can't beat the location!

Great place to have dinner after a kayak on loch ness! Great service! Great food!

Beautiful place in a beautiful location ❤️

It's in the perfect position at the end of Loch Ness. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was good.

Nothing special but decent place

Just really cute. The coffee is super good and the pastries are simply delicious. Great atmosphere and a very nice owner ❤️

Nice outside lunch on a sunny May day. Efficient service (clearly geared up for efficiency, which on a quiet day felt a bit impersonal) and a good choice of tasty options.

The sticky toffee that I had was great😍 I also had a coconut milk latte that was fabulous as well😋😎

Very well known and very frequented. Reservations are required ! Everything is good: welcome food atmosphere

Whilst this place is closed on a Monday/Tuesday, it was worth coming back at the end of our holiday to enjoy a lovely meal. The staff are welcoming and helpful and the meal delicious. The ambience was comforting and we will come again, next time we come to The Highlands

Sunday Roast - amazing! Highly recommend, has a great view of the Loch and friendly staff.

The Dores Inn is a quaint restaurant that has some tasty food! I had the fish and chips which was pretty good. My boyfriend had the haggis starter which he said was really good, and he really enjoyed the fish and chips as well. My friends said the soup and their burgers were absolutely amazing, my one friend said this was her favourite meal from Scotland! Personally not my favourite, but a good stop at the famous Loch Ness. The service was great, we had a very friendly and great waitress. The views were beautiful, you can eat inside (very small inside but okay) or outside with views of Loch Ness. There is parking outside but limited, and the bathroom is only accessible outside and it isn’t the cleanest bathroom but decent. This is definitely a casual place, but fun to visit for the views.

Lovely place to have a meal or a drink. Friendly and helpful staff.

Felt like an outsider food expensive not brilliant views outside fantastic

Very nice spaces for outdoor dining. The system is very efficient. You choose your table, choose from the menu, pay and almost without waiting your food arrives. The breaded prawns were very delicious.

Fantastic cafe, with really tasty food. Amazing scenery, right on the shore of Loch Ness. The Nessie Hunter is here too. Be aware that parking can be tricky, as this gets busy, but well worth a visit if you are able

Nice local pub. On the shore of the lake. Beautiful view. Very tasty food.

Nice little restaurant near Loch Ness beach.

Nice cosy pub by one of the most scenic spots along Loch Ness

Claire is lovely woman and friendly. No parking outside the hotel, but have car park few roads down anyway.

Lovely place, great views with fantastic food, great staff. Right by the waters edge, absolutely spectacular.

Phoned them and they were not very clear answering. Turned up as they said it's first come first serve. Told us to sit outside,in the horrible weather. Been before,but won't be back.

Wasnt inside just lovely place to sit for a while in the sunshine enjoying the views theres a wee ice cream van too

Great place to sit and unwind with all the beauty of Scotland all around

Fish and Chips really delicious and fish with very very delicious batter. highly recommended. The local beer is also good.

The cutest little pub on the shore of Loch Ness! The fish and chips were delicious, as well as the other lunch foods we had. Great location!

Fantastic food and service. With great views from the garden

Great place to walk right up to Loch Ness ... Great coffee and tea available

Great spot for a lunch.....had the salmon and fish cakes...👍

One of my favourite places to visit

We came to Scotland with the firm intention of eating a REAL Haggis and we were won over by the one served to us here! A haggis not too peppery, wonderful tatties and just the right amount of turnip accompanied by a whiskey sauce to die for! Go for it! Although the plates are plentiful, if you have a little space left or if you don't have a sweet tooth, do like us and finish in style with a plate of cheese and a toffee pudding to share! Perfectly perfect! And as a bonus, the car park with a view of Loch Ness allows you to park a van there 😊 Mr & Mrs Lepage

Even though the kitchen was about to close and we didn't have a reservation, there was still a place for us. Wonderful food at reasonable prices.

Delicious. Fast and great view of Loch Ness

Great end to a great day’s sail up Loch Ness. Photo from the pub garden.

Stopped for a snack and a pint when visiting the Loch Ness "monument". It was super cute and the haggis bites were wonderful!

Great food, facilities & attentive staff.

A small restaurant and pub with good food by the lake. We stopped on our way to Inverness to have lunch. The fish and chips was very good.

Nice food and drinks, the area is really beautiful overlooking the lochness with outdoor seating that would be great during summer times.

The main dish, which was chicken, was not fresh. It looked like it had been reused and was dry. The starter salad was good. The dessert was very good. It was a caramel cake and vanilla ice cream. The price is normal but could be something fresher for a simple wings fries

Lovely friendly pub with amazing views over Loch Ness. Very friendly staff, great service. You need to book for dinner as its very popular.

Really nice food and staff, fish and chips were excellent and a good portion. The scampi were very tasty but as with everywhere else a smaller portion. The room was a little cold.

Quick stop on for a post walk pint and great service all round, friendly staff and lovely pint

Warm welcome, lovely food even warmer fire

I can only recommend. Very cozy! Enjoy your meal!
