Drumnadrochit Hotel Restaurant in Highland

Gorgeous outdoor dining which is what attracted us on a hot July day after Loch Ness shops nearby. Tiny menu and pretty expensive, cashing in on the tourist trade I assume. Ordered a cheeseburger for £15 and to say it was basic is an understatement. The chips were like nothing I’ve ever seen, looked like someone had hacked away at a potato. We also had a tuna melt panini, could have played a long game of “spot the filling”, disgraceful for a £10 panini. First time I’ve paid £6 for a 330ml tin of IPA. Service was sloppy, the young lad looked like he wanted to be anywhere else and could barely be bothered to speak. The only redeeming feature was shortbread which was delicious but at £4 for a small slice - so it should be! I can only assume they are not relying on repeat custom and cashing in on tourists who will pay the prices, just for the location.

If you want to step back to the 70's , this is the hotel for you . Wallpaper hanging from wall in Bathroom ! , dont know what was on the mirror in room ( I hope it was toothpaste ) Olive green bathroom suite with pine bath panel. Felt really sorry for the forgein visitors that were staying there , if they thing this is what visitor hotels have to offer . With the price they are charging , breakfast extra ( cheap ingredients ) they should be able to update the rooms . Checked in , only to be told we could not eat that night as there was a party of 18 in ? Good job i phoned the pub / restaurant around corner as they got fully booked . The staff were friendly but overall , will not be returning ! The photos on website must be when it was new .

Déjeuné le 06/06/2023. Un restaurant tout à fait correct pour notre grand groupe de voyage organisé avant la croisière sur le Loch Ness prévue l'am. Menu correct dans l'ensemble, rien d'exceptionnel mais serveurs efficaces et à notre écoute. Qualité et quantité moyenne par contre

We visited in late August of 2022. We were part of a Seniors Discovery Tour with a total of 23 people. We stayed three nights and my husband and I were accommodated in the building over top the Loch Ness Gift Shop. Our room was small with two single beds. The window would not open with, no place to put luggage except on the floor. Our breakfast was exactly the same for three mornings. We had to walk outside to get to dinning room down a flight of stairs and down hill across a driveway... Staff was accommodating and the dinners were acceptable. Rooms need updating and windows should be able to be opened especially in warmer weather - which we had.

We had a brief visit for lunch following a tour of the Loch Ness visitor centre. The food was overpriced, very basic and the staff were unfriendly. £35 for three paninis and drinks.... I wouldn’t rush back. Poor

Whilst out and about yesterday my family decided to go into the eye catching restaurant. When we entered we were greeted by the reception staff and then taken through to the seating area. We ordered 4 pizzas between us and got them within 5 minutes! what wonderful service. The chef explained how the pizzas were made which was amazing to hear the process! The staff were so welcoming, After our meal we were given a brief tour of the establishment. It was amazing and inspired my family to stay in the foreseeable future. Will definitely be back! Thank you to all of the team!

We went to the restaurant last night to be greeted by the wonderful Donald, He made out Visit very welcoming and explained how the pizzas were made! Very very impressed, The Pizzas were very well presented and the best known on planet earth, I would definitely have to recommend to any other family or friends, When we asked about the size of rooms Donald brought us up and gave us a guided tour of the hotel and explained how it was just recently refurbished! Warm Hotel and welcoming staff! I will definitely be back!! Well done Donald ~ you have an amazing team 👍👍

Please dont take notice of any previous negative reviews as this has to be one of the most friendliest and warmest of welcomes received in a locally family run cafe. We all ordered x4 pizzas which were very quick in arriving to table also great credit to Donald as he completely described the whole pizza making process which would explain that the timings have to be just right before his team would serve to customer to ensure perfection so dont understand previous review saying it was under cooked - Well done guys as best pizza ever tasted..... We were so impressed with the service etc we enquired about the hotel rooms linked to building and after given a brief tour of hotel rooms we now booking room for Valentines weekend so tbh what more can you ask for - pizza,wine and well presented hotel rooms all on one site. Again thanks to all the team as we all had great time and amazing experience and would definitely recommend to anyone passing......

We ordered pizzas for pick up on 10 January 2020. They were under-cooked to begin with. Even after a blast in the oven they were inedible... All three pizzas were the same - all inedible - do not eat here :(

Honestly sh*t. Words can’t explain how awful it is. DONT GO HERE! Chips £3. Terrible slow service (looking at you ruby and joe) by servers more interested in each other than doing their job. Don’t go. Hands down worst cafe I’ve ever been too. Avoid at all costs.

After going round the Loch Ness exhibition we popped in for coffees. We were surprised that there were no prices up.....lots of food and cakes etc but no price list. We only had vanilla lattes .....coffee out of a machine too ...so I wasn’t able to have a half shot. They cost £6.50 , but we didn’t know that til we had to pay!

Food was served by a member of staff who clearly did not want to be there. She was sloppy in serving the soup and hot drinks. All 6 of us had the same experience. She was not interested, did not smile, make small talk or look any of us in the eye. Amazing how one person can ruin a lunch experience for 6. Food was ok.

We were staying on a boat and therefore walked up to the lovely village of Drumnadrochit, calling at the Loch Ness visitor centre on the way up (the historical experience is well worth visiting by the way). By the time we had finished the tour, it was 1:55pm so we headed to the Cobbs cafe which is part of the old hotel (now the visitor centre). We asked for a Pannini for our son and were told that the kitchen was closed at 2pm and no Pannini's were available (it literally was 2pm and we had been in the queue for several minutes). Not thinking it was a problem, we ordered a toasted sandwich (one of the packet ones like you get at Costa) for me and a sausage roll for our son. When the food came, the sausage roll was not even cooked. The pastry was raw and the sausagemeat was awful (I would not have given it to our dogs). To compound the problem, one of the waitresses came out of the kitchen (clearly on her lunch break) at 2:15pm, with a PANNINI and continued to eat this in front of us, despite telling us 15 minutes earlier that the kitchen was closed. We left and walked into the village and found a lovely cafe in the courtyard where we were able to get some proper food and really good service. Avoid Cobbs at all cost and head the extra 2 minutes into the village where there are far better places to eat (and with great service and a much more pleasant experience).

We were looking for somewhere to eat and like others thought you couldn't go too far wrong in Drumnadrochit. However we were cautious and decided to have a cup of tea first. When staff eventually came to the counter we ordered. Well cups we didn't get - two of the cardboard mugs. Okay but people after us got proper cups - maybe we looked like we couldn't handle china! Anyway we took a couple of sips and it was disgusting. We left and were pleased we didn't waste real money. Looks like management don't comment on reviews - probably says a lot.

Having just driven over 4 hours from the east coast of Scotland my partner and I were getting quite peckish. We had originally planned to stop elsewhere, but with it being closed we thought we'd continue to send what else we found. We parked up as we came into drumnadrochit and decided to search on food for somewhere to eat. Not looking for too much fuss, we assumed a cafe on an area swarming with tourist groups would be a safe bet. Ordering food was straightforward enough, although the waitress didn't advise on what came with the panini (more on that later) and proceeded to ask if I wanted chips or peas with my fish (much more on that later), I put it down to a simple mistake and cleared up that it should come with both. We had been waiting around 15 minutes with no sign of food. Not a big issue as we usually prefer a slightly longer wait to know our food is cooked fresh. It also gave us time to observe the waitresses half cleaning the tables next to us. A table of 4+ sitting behind us received their food around this point. I thought they were behind me in the queue, but couldn't be sure. About 5 minutes later a table of two that I know were served after me received their food. I was starting to get suspicious. A couple of minutes passed and a member of staff came over to ask if we were still waiting on our food(panini and fish and chips, 25 minutes wait) we said we were and he disappeared without a word. Another 5 minutes passed, I was just away to get up and cancel my order when two plates came towards us. Placed down with little mention of a sorry for your wait and the server disappeared like a magician. The first thing I noticed was the lack of peas on my plate, instead replaced by a selection of "seasonal veg"(soup of the days ingredients we suspected). Second was the teaspoon sized puddle of coleslaw on my partner. We called the server over to explain some things. First, where were my peas, and what is this other veg? I was told that they had ran out of peas. When questioned as to why they had not informed me as to what I would like instead I was told again that they had ran out. Seems he was unable to grasp the point I was trying to make, I'm not sure whether they ran out before taking my order of while they were giving food to the people behind us in the queue but they had over half an hour to let us know. I know it is different veg so it's unlikely, but i could have had an allergy to what they had given me. If they'd ran out of fish would I have been served chicken? He said he would let his manager know and we asked them to be sent to speak to us. The manager comes over to ask if there is something wrong with our food and we explain our situation. Hoping the manager will be able to shed some light on why the different food had been plated and again was told they had ran out, incompetent from top to bottom. When asked about our wait as well I was told there was a mix up with the cheques (so they forgot). Several apologies came our way but she had no real explanation as to why they wouldn't mention this to us when the server came to ask if we were still waiting on food. She offered us a cake or coffee to make up for the appalling service. We took a cake(tray bake) to go, it was not anything worth mentioning. The actual food we did have, once we got round to eating was not really worth the cost, and certainly not worth the wait.

What cafe at a family tiurist venue stops serving hot food a 2..... this one. What cafe allows its staff to clock of for lunch midway through serving a customer..... this one. Which cafe gets a zero star rating? You guesses it - this one. Lets hope the actual exhibition is not so poor.

Die Preise sind echt in Ordnung für einen derartigen touristischen Hotspot, aber es ist einfach nichts Besonderes. Trotzdem kann man gut hingehen

My husband & I had 2 millionaire squares here (we have an addiction) & a regular latte, a ginger beer & a large Americano for £10.70. Busy place. Thought it was reasonable. Tables could do with a clean after each customer leaves. Quick turnover of customers. Limited outdoor seating. Loch Ness visitor centre has free carpark. This was refreshing in such a touristy spot!

Didn’t visit the centre but went to Cobb’s cafe and bistro. Good range of lunch fare including sandwiches, soup and paninis, available until 2pm. We arrived at 2:03pm and asked if we were too late to order paninis. A member of staff said they would check. They returned from the kitchen to say that they were sorry but the kitchen staff had just turned everything off. We accepted that and bought some (warm) soup instead. However four more tables were served paninis after we had sat down, meaning the “panini-making machine” had not been switched off and to add insult to injury, the very same member of staff who had lied to our face sat down at the table next to us at 2:30 with a freshly cooked panini to eat. We would have accepted the line “no more orders for hot food food after 2pm” without question as that is what was advertised but we take exception to dishonesty and, as such will not be making a return visit.

Coffee bitter and they dont serve paninis after 2pm. A roadside burger van would serve better & hot food all day!

Went here for lunch with my wife.

We stopped here for 'coffee and cake'. Staff were friendly. Coffee and tea were fine! Cake we chose had no sign/label to tell us what it was but it looked like toffee/caramel so we both chose it. Still couldn't tell you what flavour it was. Suffice to say, we won't be stopping here again. No hot food available if we wanted it.

We called in to Cobb's restaurant at the Drumnadrochit Hotel last week. We were hoping for afternoon tea, having walked up from the moorings on Loch Ness.

Dropped in for coffee and cake - the piles of uncleared tables should have been a give away. Noticed a really unpleasant acrid smell which turned out to be congealing vinegar under the bottle on the table. The next table was no better. As I watched the tables eventually being cleared I could see why. The trays and plates were picked up but the tables not wiped down. Wiping the tables would seem to be a once a day task and does not involve shifting the condiment bottles.

COBBS cafe - food tasteless - expensive - no disabled toilet - to be avoided - not clean - if this is an example of Scottish hospitality it is a disgrace

Rooms are average for the cost and very basic. Bar was closed on the first day due to a function being held in the Restaurant and on the second day I was informed that the Restaurant doesn't actually do hot food. Room was left unlocked by the cleaning staff during the day and windows were left open to deal with the damp/condensation. Shower was not functional. Breakfast started at 08:00 which was too late for me.

This review is for the ground floor café rather than the restaurant but I can't find an entry for the café and people seem to be reviewing both on this entry. There seem to be quite a variety of experiences with this place!

Este era un lugar concurrido en una ubicación estupenda para parar por un tiempo. La comida era bastante estándar, muchas pastas y bollos y bar café realmente bueno. Parecía ser muy popular con los excursionistas. El único problema era el baño abandonado! Decidí ir a otro sitio.

Paramos aquí para desayuno y ojalá que realmente no tenía, un inglés era de £9. 50 £, entonces tuvimos que añadir £1. 80 de té/café y 50 p para tostadas, así que el desayuno para dos llegaron a casi 24 libras!

Très bien situé près du Loch Ness. Déjeuner rapide, Plats simple, pas très cuisinés. Personnel agréable.

As we had our dog with us we sat outside on the balcony/terrace to eat and luckily it was a sunny day. Lovely view of the Loch Ness and good food served with a smile.

This is a cafeteria style restaurant, with a limited amount of selections. But what they do offer are well prepared. Better that, than offering a lot and doing nothing well. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but if your at the Loch Ness Centre and a bit hungry this will fill the bill.

What a very informative place to visit, a great exhibition and suitable for all ages. If you believe in Nessie or even if you are a sceptic this is straight forward, factual exhibition. If you want to see Nessie you probably need to have a few drams of the whiskies.

Une carte variée, une cuisine excellente, un rapport qualité/quantité/prix au top!! L'équipe du restaurant est vraiment très sympathique et veille sur le bien être du client!!

Had an excellent meal. Good choice of menu. Staff very polite and friendly. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Ho provato il bar della struttura ma non è stato niente d'entusiasmante , comodo solamente perché vicino all'esposizione

Spend a good hour here walking round the exhibition and listening to the narration in the 6 rooms.It was interesting and informative but not worth the £7.95 entrance fee.Basically it tells you the monster story is fake as the loch is too cold and there isn't enough food to sustain a creature of Nessy's size.....

Lo ricordo piacevolmente, ci sono stati diversi anni fa , tutto era al posto giusto senza che niente stonasse. Molto gradevole l'ambiente come anche il mangiare a base di carne e verdure. Mi hanno colpito le proporzioni delle cose mi sembrava tutto in miniatura dalle finestre alle porte. Immerso nel verde e i prati molto curati.

This is a cheerful and friendly hotel where the staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The food consists of localally sourced produce that is always fresh. The smoked seafood skewers were a first for me and they were excellent. The smoked mussels were to die for and the venison pie was just delicious.Good food reasonably priced.

We stopped in hungry not knowing what to expect. Seated at a table on the second floor overlooking the loch, we were asked for our drink order right away. The ambiance/décor was slightly dated but nostalgic with various 'nessie' memorabilia from the ages- it was entertaining to check it out.We ordered the a burger and haddock fish & chips both were very good. The service though expressionless, was polite/prompt and we enjoyed our stop at the restaurant. We agreed the meal we had looked much better than the cafeteria option on the first floor.I would definitely recommend the sit down area of this restaurant for a nice lunch.

Eravamo appena tornati dalla visita in battello sul lago e abbiamo approfittato del ristorante dell'hotel per pranzare. Ambiente moderno, servizio cortese e veloce. Cucina scozzese di buon livello e ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

Had a nice meal in the restaurant but it was very noisy due to a birthday party. Catered for gluten free with gluten free brownies although this was not advertised. The waiters Ashley and robin were very good however Dave was somewhat rude at times. Slightly unprofessional delegating tasks to his workers in front of guests. Other wise a lovely meal.

Stopped here between Urquhart and Inverness for a quick lunch. My husband and I both had the burger with chips. They were so yummy! Service was friendly and there wasn't a whole lot of people in the restaurant, despite the crowds outside at the shops.

Great visit with family. a terrific exhibition,easy or the whole family to understand and kept my 7 year old enthralled despite no fancy graphics or buttons to press

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal was presented lovely and more importantly tasted lovely too - between us we had the fish, burgers and children's meal, as well as sticky toffee pudding and ice creams. Great ambiance and well stocked bar. Staff very friendly and professional.

As guests of the Drumnadrochit Hotel, it was recommended that we visit the restaurant upstairs for our dinner, this is also where breakfast is served. Hotel restaurants aren't always my favorite, I prefer a local spot with freshly made foods to order. Well, all of my fears were quickly put at ease. Ricky was our waiter, and he was wonderful! His recommendations were spot on and he attended to everyone in our party of 9. He went the extra mile with our kids too. Our main courses were not only beautifully presented, but everyone was satisfied and the desserts were wonderful. Breakfast didn't disappoint either, except that Ricky wasn't there. The dining room was packed, so a couple of us did have to wait a few minutes for the hot foods to be replenished. I do not mind waiting for hot food though, especially when it's quality. There was fruit, yogurt and toast available if one was wasting away. We'll look to include this stop again on our next visit!

A last minute choice to eat in the Bistro in the Drumnadrochit Hotel. The Bar Manager was very helpful and attentive on our arrival. One of our starters was moules marinière, but there was a notable absence of any garlic, parsley or cream in the sauce. Main courses were supposed to be chicken breast stuffed with haggis etc but there was obviously a shortage of haggis on our visit as none could be found in the chicken ! Other main was a 'medium-well' rib eye steak which came out 'very, very well' done, whilst the chunky chips were undercooked and inedible. Interesting that the waiting staff only asked diners if everything was okay when empty plates were on the table.After complaining and being told that the same issues had been raised last week ! We were offered a complimentary bottle of house wine and told the issues regarding the food would be raised in the kitchen.

Situato nelle immediate vicinanze del centro visitatori del lago di Ness, e quindi particolarmente comodo senza becessità di andare altrove. piatti e servizio nella media. niente di eccezionale.

We were met by Ricky, a very cheerful man working in this restaurant. We had our dog with us, so we sat outside and he came out with a bowl of water for her. First great impression ! So the staff were very friendly.The food was great too. The "men" had burgers, and us girls had tomato soup, which i am sure was home-made. lovely. The restaurant is right beside the Loch ness exhibition centre with shops not far from it. About 10 minute walk from the information centre.

Tyvärr höll inte hotellet standarden som utlovats på nätet. Dåliga sängar, ingen frukost för kl 8, svårigheter att checka ut före kl 9, inte bra när man är på resande fot och vill vidare på morgonen.

We had dinner here tonight and it was nice....not great , but not bad either.The service was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.The selection of whiskey's is very good and their wine list, although not huge, showcases most of the major wine areas of the world. I had a very nice glass of French Cab Sav and wasn't disappointed.My husband had two entree's which were both satisfying..I had the mussels, and they weren't the best i have ever had, but by the same token, they weren't the worst either.All in all, not a bad choice for our evening meal tonight.Prices are quite reasonable too.

Stayed at the hotel and ate here both nights. Food was all freshly prepared from scratch so there was perhaps a little longer to wait but it was entirely worth it. The staff suggested bringing the kids' meals with our starters which worked well and colouring sheets and crayons arrived to entertain them. Burgers were fab and the fish and chips enormous! Starters and desserts were impressive too but the staff were even more impressive.Both nights the waiting staff were exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble and they made several excellent recommendations - especially the Orchard cider! Ricky was a fantastic front of house organiser who chatted to everyone as though they were long standing friends. The chat was entertaining and they were incredibly patient with the kids. Definitely highly recommended!

Had our meals here while staying at the Hotel. Big portions and very tasty food. Had the Large Haddock Meal

Took my grand-daughter for lunch before visiting the Loch Ness Monster Visitor Centre and was very pleasantly surprised. Was expecting the usual tourist meals and surroundings, but the restaurant is a well decorated, light and airy with extremely helpful staff and a varied menu, will definitely go back.

La gente de recepción fue muy amable tanto para el registro como para conseguirnos un taxi, las habitaciones agradables, el baño con tina, los desayunos escoceses muy ricos y la cercanía tanto al lago como al museo que está al lado lo hacen buena opción

Very welcoming by Dave and quick service. The food was really tasty especially recommended the pesto pasta, doesn't look anything special but by eck it's tasty, one of the best pasta dishes I've had. Steak was cooked just right for my farmer man. Wine was good but bit pricey. Starter Salmon was good to. Nice atmosphere, great music in the background and all staff there happy and accommodating. Nothing is to much trouble. Breakfast fine to. All good. We stayed there to so all in all a great stay. Thanks

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal here at the Drumnadrochit Hotel Restaurant. Staff were very friendly.

Stayed here for 2 nights, Drumnadrochit is an ideal location for spreading your wings and visiting other attractions/locations. The food was fine, desserts were a winner with my children. Drinks reasonably priced, accommodation was fine although could do with an update but suited our purpose.

We stopped here on the way to the Loch Ness Exhibition Centre. Time for a quick lunch. Soup, sandwich and coffee. The soup was good, the other two were adequate. Frankly it did the job, but nothing special.

We ate here whilst on holiday in August 2015. We really enjoyed our freshly cooked meals, the service was very good and food value for money. Definitely worth a visit. Co-incidentally it was also my birthday and I received a large glass of wine and a tasty cupcake at the end of my meal which was a very nice touch.

We turned up and we're able to get a table at late notice but that's where the good experience ended. Food and service very disappointing! We had to ask for the dessert menu after waiting for ages and being ignored by staff and a manager who preferred to speak with people he knew. Maybe it was a bad night but i won't risk it again sorry.

we had two visits here in the evening for meals both times the food was excellent and plates were full, staff very helpfull and friendly

I am amazed that a place like this doesn't allow dogs in the cafe....you expect people to stop, what are the dogs supposed to do? Die in Cars?

Lovely food, great service, and desserts are to die for! not too expensive either, room service available :)

If you have a food allergy or diabetic please dont eat here. The large group i was with contained not only gluten but lactose intollerent members. When the food was ordered we all asked to ensure our fellow special requirements where followed. After approx 1 hour 40 mins after ordering our food started to arrive, this processed carried on for the next 45 mins. Obviously for our diabetic membership after taking their medication, just after ordering started feeling unwell due to not eating. After the me al and the insurances that the food allergies had been taken care of 3 of our party had reactions. After complaining to the manager Dave (whilst he was drinking beer) he then hid from us as he has "gone off duty"Would not return or recommend shocking a review of training for all staff is required asap. Cross contamination of the food is basic level 1 course content and should be reliously stuck to

Visited during a boat holiday on the Caley Canal. The staff were really friendly and attentive and the food was great. And when the hotel driver wasn't available to give us a lift to the harbour, we were given a complimentary drink while awaiting a taxi.

First of all, we discovered that this place was very, very busy. We then experienced very fast and efficient waiting staff service. The food was also very promptly and was very tasty indeed.It would be a case of, do the job well and the customers will come. Busy Yes, But very worth it.

We went here for dinner because they have local music on Friday and Saturday night. Enjoyed the music a lot which was quite traditional. Our meals were okay - Caesar salad which was one of the better ones we have had in Scotland. A steak was cooked to order - medium rare - with chips that were fairly tasteless - guess they were frozen ones reheated. The food was reasonably priced however I am sure there are better places around to eat if good food is all you are looking for. The bar area is strangely utilitarian with none of the warmth and character of many Scottish bars.

Good friendly service and excellent food. I had the haggis for starter followed with the steak pie which were both excellent.

Ate here today the food was really nice and the staff great, it was sort of home cooked food which was lovely. The staff were happy and smiling but the only down side was the slightly dirty floor and tables. I would eat here again.

A group of four of us ate in the restaurant while we were staying overnight in the hotel. On the basis of the food I would have rated higher but after having used the vinegar and eaten some of the chips my friend noticed small black items in the bottle which on examination appeared to be small flies. The waiter was advised and his response 'It's ok we won't charge you extra for them.' They also didn't charge us any less for them. I didn't take any vinegar on my meal but if the staff don't see flies in the vinegar what else are they missing.

UNA PARADA EN UN LINDO LUGAR, GENTE MUY AMABLE, COMIDAS TÍPICAS ESCOSESAS, SIMPLES Y RÁPIDAS. Comi una papa rellena con una mezcla de cordero , romero y no se que más muy picante, no me gustó mucho, porque tampoco me gusta el cordero,pero cuando me preguntaron si me gustó, eran tan amables, que les dije que estaba riquisimo

We had a group of ten with a handful of little kids. The staff was great. The food was just ok. The beer was good and the wait staff were terrific.

The staff behind the bar and in the restaurant were lovely throughout our stay. Shame they couldn't work their magic on the food.The starter sharing platter was all deep fried in grease and had lost most of its taste. The fish was dry for main course, and the meat in the steak pie was a little too strong for fresh meat. Veg was clearly microwaved. It might be priced cheaply, but it shows.

My daughter and I received the best service from a young male waiter and the Restaurant Manager, the food was excellent and plentiful and the local stout went down like a dream.We visited in July 2012 not 2014

Female waitress serving very rude to my aunt, did not smile once during the service and bad attitude, would definitely not return which is a shame as the food was nice!!

The restaurant was grossly understaffed when we reached, but we were served by a very friendly and cheerful waitress who seemed to be the only one holding down the fort (she also did check ins for the hotel). We ordered a beef burger and chicken curry. The curry was decent but the burger was terrible. Patty was so overcooked, burger was so dry!! The coleslaw was not fresh. On the plus side though, the chips were good.

Il cibo è nella media ed il locale è tanto affollato per via della vicinanza con il Lochness Centre.

Loved the Venison. I have been here before, 2 years back. And the quality of food & service remains amazing. Not a very expensive restaurant. Great for a Scottich vacation.

Ate here with my family while cruising up Loch Ness. Restaurant busy but greeted by very friendly Australian waitress who sat us in the bar and got us a table quickly. Food was delicious and not over priced. Service good and great atmosphere, nice, clean, modern décor. Would recommend.

De bediening was super als zowel ook het eten en een leuke wijnkaart, de entourage vonden we wat minder maar niet storend.

There was nothing I disliked about this restaurant. The food was delicious I even ordered dessert which I never normally do. The service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble.

Right next to the Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition and you can also book a cruise on Loch Ness here so it was very useful to be in there whilst waiting for your cruise. Good food at a good price but it is more like a cafe than a restaurant.

Visited mid May 2014. Food was beautiful and the hot chocolate was loverly too. They serve home baked scones and also home made soup of the day all of which very loverly. The service was very friendly to. This is right next to the Loch Ness exhibition which was worth a visit although maybe slightly dated but still more up to date than some places ive visited. How ever the Bistro/Cafe/restaurant was very modern clean and tidy. Only a short drive to Fort Augustus too how ever i found the cafes is Fort Augustus to be more pricey and not worth the money.

Terrible food, terrible service, had to ask repeatedly for water glasses, wine we'd ordered, no one asked how the food was, tables being rearranged around us, deserts served stacked leaving food on the bottom of plates and Will Young on repeat for 2 hrs.

O restaurante serve uma comida refinada, de boa qualidade.Oferecem pratos para todos os gostos. Apenas o lugar, pela qualidade da comida, creio que poderia ser um pouco mais aconchegante, mais decorado e romântico.

The hotel and restaurant is now under new management. The food was delicious and you did not have to wait ages! Steak night on Saturdays - 2 steak dinners and a bottle of wine for £20 is great value. All meat comes from butchers in Beauly 10 miles away. I will definitely go again and would highly recommend.

A large group of us came here for a birthday celebration meal. Nothing was too much trouble for the friendly and attentive staff. The food was delicious, I recommend the chicken for your main and I'm going to have the steak when I return! Yum yum yum.

Coming to Scotland all I really wanted to do on the food side of things was eat a good, nice, Scottish haggis. Well I can honestly the best haggis iv ever eaten was at this hotel. Bloody unreal if your traveling through here make sure you stop in here and try there haggis. You won't regret it.

They were expecting a large party to come in but as we didn't want a full 3 course meal they managed to fit us in before. It was really scrumptious food, well presented and well cooked. 5 star standard in my eyes.

Out of all the places we ate in Drumnadrochit this was my least favourite. I'm not saying it was bad, it just wasn't anything special. There was nobody else in the restaurant when we arrived (6pm ish) so I thought that perhaps they weren't open until later. We hovered for a while, then just as we were about to leave, a girl came up to us.Service was ok, the staff weren't rude just a bit disinterested (with the exception of a man - perhaps the manager - who seemed to speak good french and was very charming).The meal was average though the sticky toffee pudding after was delicious. Overall it just average hotel food, just nothing memorable and let down by the staff and atmosphere. I wouldn't avoid the place, but I wouldn't rush back either.

A few us stopped for a bite to eat here after some had gone round the centre.I was very disappointed and embarrassed being from the highlands at the poor service and food.Disinterested staff mentioned by another's review kind of sums it up.Bit of a captive customer base but that should not need poor service and it was pretty dirty as well.Plenty of room for improvement

On12 August 2013, sixteen of my family reunion group members descended on this restaurant. The staff was very pleasant, efficient and helpful. Fish and chips as well as soups were what was ordered by most. No complaints! We sat upstairs which was very enjoyable.

Disinterested staff, unmarked sandwiches in a chiller cabinet which was not even turned on! We left before they could do us any harm. Shocking disregard of food hygeine and safety.

Went to the cafe for a toasted sandwich. Doesnt get much simpler, I thought. Sandwich was cold, cheese not melted. Came with potato crisps that were stale and a salad that was limp and dried out without any dressing. The coffee was decent and hence the 2 star rating. Poorest excuse for a meal in a month of travelling around Scotland.

We stayed at hotel on a bed and breakfast basis. The cooked breakfasts were dreadful. The bacon was cold and looked as if it had been microwaved as the colour was insipid and unappetising. The sausage was also cold and anaemic looking! On the following days we kept to the safe option of beans on toast. Extra toast took forever to cook on the help yourself toasters! However the staff were kind and helpful especially a young man called Paul who was attentive and cheerful every morning hence the 5 stars for service.

After walking from Invermoriston we were looking for somewhere comfortable and casual for a drink and bite to eat. We entered the bistro to find it didn't start to serve food for another half hour but our drinks order was taken and we were shown upstairs to wait and our drinks brought up to us and added to the bill. The upstairs area was empty and we chose a nice window seat which offered a great view. Drinks were delivered by friendly staff who let us know when our table was ready. The menu was varied and reasonably priced considering it seemed to be the main hotel in town. The restaurant area was nice and modern although it was a bit cold. Food arrived after a bit of a wait but was lovely, well cooked and well presented. Staff were attentive even though it got busy very quickly. For a quick bite in nice surroundings it was ideal for us. If we were passing through again i think we would be happy to stop in here again.

We decided to eat here on our second evening in Drumnadrochit despite hearing mixed reveiws about the place. After we eventually found our way into the restaurant (there is no indication of where to enter) the staff appeared friendly and helpful enough, unfortunately the place was very quiet and lacking in atmosphere-the food was ok though.

Homemade cakes. Recommend chocolate honeycomb slices, delicious! Could have a meal or a snack. Right beside Loch Ness exhibition. Tables cleared very quickly and although busy there was no problem finding somewhere to sit.

We only went here for coffee and cake after visiting the Loch Ness Exhibition, which is right next door. The capuccino was OK, as was the cake. The weather was good, warm and sunny, so we went outside. There's not much room there, just a small slab of concrete with at least one table too many. Tables and chairs are old and weathered, and not in a pretty way.The bathroom facilities inside (upstairs) were much the same. Just clean enough, but old and worn down.This place needs a make-over.
