Fort George Cafe in Highland

Bonne sélection de plats pour une restauration rapide. Service souriant et un cadre plein d'atmosphère.

Providing welcome shelter from the cutting wind a range of snacks and drinks are offered in a friendly atmosphere.

Not a massive selection of hot foods available here but was perfectly adequate as a snack stop. Bacon Rolls were amazing though, just not a huge selection for teens and puckish youngsters!

Brilliant cafe in the magnificent Fort George. The bacon rolls are excellent and loaded with bacon. Great coffee. Staff very friendly and love dogs.

Not a lot of choice but the potato and leek soup was delicious served with a huge chunk of bread and butter.

We’ve just stopped for a cup of tea and a cake after seeing the fort. The carrot cake was enormous and delicious and the Dundee cake was perfect. The irn bru and haggis crisps got a thumbs up as well.

Over priced, underwhelming would sum it up. However not surprised by their lack of encouragement to make any improvement due to it being the only option (or so we thought as we did later see a Costa banner and were sad we didn’t know sooner). Confused by their pricing. £5 for soup and a bit of bread, and the soup was very bland and uninspiring. Staff seemed uninterested.

This still working Fort is well worth the visit and the place is huge with plenty to see but when you need some food and drink the Cafe within the Fort does not disappoint. Not very big but comfortable and their is seating outside which is handy for Dog owners. Their Bacon Bap is formidable and very tasty whilst the ladies ha=d Toasted-Teacakes with their tea. Service is very good with friendly helpful staff. Well worth a visit.

Shona was amazing even due to power cut and the cheese board and wine was amazing! We had the entire section by the fire place to ourselves and it was perfect just what we needed we were able enjoy our game of chess!

Had good coffee/tea and freshly baked cake. A quiet day for the staff but very friendly nevertheless.

I usually tend not to frequent the cafes or restaurants at attractions mainly as time does not always allow, but given the remote location of Fort George and a yummy menu I could not let the opportunity pass me by. The cafe’s location within Fort George is quite hidden. However, it provides an excellent shelter as the wind and weather can be quite intense there regardless of the time of year. The selection on offer was really very good and above what I would have expected from an establishment as this. The sandwiches in particular were a step above and the soups are perfect for the location not to mention a mean cup of tea and yummy slices of cake or flapjacks. It also gives you a good opportunity to listen further to the audio guide etc as you eat. The cafe itself is well presented and full of atmosphere. This is one attraction cafe I would suggest you factor in as part of your trip.

Stopped in during visit to Fort George, cold day made all the better with a warm and filling bowl of soup. This was followed by home baked tray bake for myself and home made scone for my friend, a coffee each and we were ready for the cold outside world, very good.

If you are hungry, thirsty and need a rest this little cafe hits the spot. As far as we know this is the only place for something to eat and drink in the fort. You can find something there to satisfy most everyone.

Delicious coffee by far the best flat white to be found in Inverness area! Lovely regular staff, also offers military discount to military personnel.

Called in for a snack and had the soup with bread and a coffee, the soup was very nice ( i always think you get a good soup in Scotland) no complaints with the coffee either so all in all it was all up to my standards. There is also another place here and I believe you can get meals but I haven’t tried it so I can’t give you a review. Worth a try even if it’s only for the soup.

El café en el lugar es muy pequeño y en los días ocupados puede haber algo de espera para sentarse. Si es verano, hay algunas mesas de picnic con asientos afuera, pero los días más fríos pueden ser estrechos.Tenía un rollo de tocino y sopa, la calidad del rollo y tocino era realmente buena. Más caro que el estándar, pero se puede esperar con la ubicación. La sopa era deliciosa, gran porción y generosa en los cortes de pan también.El personal era amable e intentaba enviar los pedidos lo antes posible, sin comprometer la calidad.Gran pequeño café, un poco cómodo en los días más ocupados.

Un piccolo locale all'interno del forte dove concedersi un sosta soprattutto se la giornata è fredda e piovosa. Sempre disponibile la zuppa del giorno affiancata da una piccola ma gradevole selezione di tramezzini. Si puo trovare l'immancabile tazza di the o caffè accompagnata da porzioni di dolci.

Not overpriced with a decent selection, plus the monies raised helps to keep the fort in good order.

Tal vez no por la variedad pero si por la necesidad de hacer un alto después de tanto caminar. Muy amables y serviciales.

the cafe was expensive and service was sooooooo slow. The cakes and sandwiches were costly. Very unenthusiastic staff

Friendly welcome on a cold damp day, set in the grounds. Wee bit dark but nice, courtyard would be nice on a sunny day. Bice food, reasonably priced. Well worth a visit after the rampart climb and dolphin spotting!

On a cold and damp day, the warm welcome that we were given and the delicious soup and oatcakes were just what was needed to give us a pick me up.

Lovely cafe in Fort George that serves public and the garrison staff, great selection of sandwiches and cakes plus tasty soups but the Earl Grey tea for some reason is the best I have tasted for a long time

We were strolling around Fort George and came across this little cafe on a Saturday afternoon. Luckily we were the last customers in as it was almost closing time. Nice little place to have teas and coffees. Friendly staff too.

Given there's not any other choice we were almost forced into lunch here. The food was edible but not amazing. Luckily as tourists we are unlikely to be back!

Tijdens ons bezoek aan Fort George hebben we hier geluncht. De tosti met brie hier smaakte me erg goed.

Fantastic selection of drinks and food along with the Fort itself in my opinion makes for a must visit place.

Good pit stop while visiting the Fort. Good selection of sandwiches , soup and cakes. Comfortable with loos. Service professional and prices ok. Run by Benugo who seeem to know what they are doing at a number of Historic Scotland Sites,

The cafe is in the old buildings and has several picnic benches outside in the rather soulless courtyard. It wasn’t busy and we were served coffees by two very nice young people. There were nice looking sandwiches, soup, bacon baps, scones and cakes etc all at very reasonable prices. Clean toilets too.

On a chilly day at The Fort decided to go in for a cuppa to heat up. Explained to the lovely lady that we had left our Scottish heritage cards at home but the lovely chap at reception had looked us ups and we got our discount. The aroma of the soup made us change our mind. Lovely carrot and coriander soup with a chunk of bread. Yes it was a wee bit more pricey but that’s what you expect in places like these. Lovely friendly staff and spotlessly clean. Also a toilet if needed. Nice benches outside for when it is warmer.

It is a typical cafe, nice food and a good selection of drinks. Served as a welcome break while touring the fort, but is not somewhere that deserves a trip in its own right.

Lovely lunch served by very pleasant lady. The toasted bagels were super and went down well on a cold and wet day.

The café is based in the old workshop areas so it has character, menu was just tea and cakes when we arrived but had fairly good selection and nice selection of teas.

We had a fantastic trip to Fort George this week but the cafe was a real let down which is a shame and unusual for Historic Scotland. It was far too small and people had to stand to eat which given the price of the food and for people with young kids isn’t ideal. The Fort George site is huge with lots of buildings, there must be a better location!

This cafe is in a working Army Camp (Black Watch) Beautiful Place The Chapel at the end is very worth a visit The view over the Firth is breathtaking and if your luck you might spot the dolphins

Pratique pour faire une petite pause lors de la visite du fort. C'est un endroit très cocooning où l'on peut se réchauffer en buvant un capuccino ou un hot chocolate. On y trouve également des pâtisseries typiquement écossaises. Personnel très sympa.

Friendly staff and great food. Shame we had to sit outside with our dogs when the cafe was do quiet and it was rather breezy

Fairly Spartan...but food is good. Soups are amazing. Service is grand. And there is the atmosphere of the Fort itself. I always enjoy!

The sandwiches, rolls and cakes were superb. Although low on stock at 2pm what was there looked appetising and tasted even better. Staff all polite and added to our experience at the Fort.

Only had coffee but it was excellent. They serve soya milk - thanks! Nice clean tables inside and friendly helpful staff.

A good place for a coffee & lite bite! Fairly simple fare but good value & quality. A nice place for a break.

We had a fabulous lunch here after exploring Fort George. The toasted bagel was delicious. Much better idea to eat here than find somewhere in the town outside the fort.

Four of us and we were brought an extra coffee in error and the wee lass on the till forgot to charge for one drink and ice cream (we went back in and paid). What we had was OK but only offered semi skimmed milk. Why? Some of us prefer full fat milk.

To be fair we arrived mid afternoon, so they had finished serving hot food. We had a cake and a drink. The place was empty just us and another couple. so as I said its OK if you want to sit down for a bit

Great stop to recharge the batteries between looking round the Fort. Simple snacks, sandwiches and soup, all very tasty and friendly staff.

I suppose because this seems to be the only cafe on site there is no competition and with regards to the nature of the place I would not expect any more, however although the place seemed very clean and adequate it did end up a bit on the pricey side in my mind.

Very busy when we were there as cafe is not huge. Food was nice enough but a little expensive. Could do with having a bit more room.

Visitar Fort George lleva bastante tiempo por su tamaño, así que decidimos reponer fuerzas. El café principal estaba ya cerrado pero nos dirigieron al Red Hackle Cafe, también dentro de Fort George, que toma el nombre de uno de los símbolos de los regimientos de Highlanders. Supongo que la comida es similar.

Got the last scone (which was nice). £20 for 4 adults to have coffee and cake so upper end of pricing for a small cafe. Soup looked nice.

We loved the atmosphere and the friendly service. We felt right at home. Very clean and there was some thing for everyone. Coffee was great and the desserts were amazing.

We only had a cuppa at the end of the day. The staff were pleasant enough but probably ready to stop! It was a nice environment to sit down in after a lot of walking round the fort in the wind!

A nice little cafe with lovely scones to eat. A nice place for a break while taking in Fort George's surroundings

On such a sunny day the Fort George Cafe was a nice place to take a break. Home made scones were beautiful and cold drinks were much needed. Staff helpful.

The cafe is a little crowded especially when the rain sends tourists in for lunch. However, the home made soup is great.

My title says everything: use the Fort George cafe as a last resort. Historic Scotland should be ashamed of it.

Non ho voluto eccedere, sull'onda dell'entusiasmo, nella votazione. Ci siamo seduti per un caffè caldo (la giornata era abbastanza fredda ed umida) e per riposarci qualche minuto. Il caffè preso da uno di quei distributori che stanno negli alberghi... ma servizio cortese e ambiente caldo e caratteristico. Per qualche minuto nella vita "viva" della caserma, accanto a giovani militari che si rilassavano qualche minuto a loro volta con un caffè e due chiacchiere... Piacevole sosta all'interno del Forte

On a lovely walk round this historic fort stopped for a coffee and some lovely home made cake and the rolls were sensational and such great value.

It was a rainy day on our visit to Fort George. Stopped in at the cafe for some hot coffee to warm up with. Service staff very friendly and coffee was just the thing we needed to keep going.

Visited this cafe today. The food was very nice and you do get a big pot of tea. The bakery goods did look nice but we didn't have any. We asked for Stromboli and were given a look as though we were speaking in a foreign tongue (we are Scottish!!). As it is on the menu we were slightly surprised. The other lady then asked if we needed milk with our tea and the milk jug was duly slapped down on the tray and she gave us the total due without a "please" or "thank you". It wasn't busy when we were there and there was no attempt to tidy the tables and chairs. Maybe we got them on a bad day, but it did spoil our experience there.

The Cafe is located in Fort George and is a good place for a nice hot cuppa after investigating all the interesting areas of this huge working military fort.

This cafe is located within Fort George and is a handy little place to grab a drink or snack as you walk around the huge military fort. It sells all sorts of sandwiches and bakery snacks although I just bought a coffee during my visit.

Fort George Cafe serves lovely home made scones, cakes, pastries etc. as well as home made soup, sandwiches etc and great coffee. It is a pleasant place with friendly staff and is clean and tidy. Glad we found this before we saw the Costa Coffee franchise, which we were surprised to see at Fort George.

The café is in the north, north east of the Fort. It sells soups sandwiches and bakery products. So the stock isn’t massive, but it will have no through traffic and only cater for the visitors. The prices were the first thing that shocked me. £2.20 for Lockerbie cheese and ham or several others, which you could have had with Scottish made produce. The value for quantity was outstanding. Dark almost Rye bread was fresh and the lentil soup was homemade and tasty also. Just the thing for a cold / wet day. The café overall is really good value and a true taste of Scottish fayre for the many foreign visitors.

If you are visiting Fort George and need a snack, this little cafe has lots of soups, sandwiches, and a friendly staff.

Had great soup and a sandwich here. Very helpful staff who were extremely service orientated. Was a very welcoming cafe on a cold windy day.

Excellent service with a good range of refreshments. It is located within Fort George, tucked up against the wall. Good value
