Glenfinnan Station Museum Dining Car in Highland

A big fan that I am for trains and old stories, this cosy restaurant gave us great memories. Very nice for a romantic like me!

Après notre déception, pour n'avoir pas pu voir le Jacobit Express passer sur le viaduc (En octobre il ne passe que le matin, sauf le week-end il ne passe pas du tout, et nous étions le week-end...) , nous nous sommes donc réconfortés comme on a pu. Le Dining Car nous donne vraiment l'impression d'être dans Harry Potter en direction de Poudlard :D De plus, le chocolat chaud et les pâtisseries étaient très bons.Un souvenir bien sympathique.

Nos detuvimos aquí después de visitar el viaducto, entramos como si retrocediéramos en el tiempo, las mujeres que trabajaban allí fueron amables y después de hablar con ella elegí el caldo, mi amiga tomó la sopa de champiñones y mi otra amiga comió un sándwich, todo casero , todo estaba delicioso y cálido después de nuestra caminata húmeda, lo recomendaría a cualquiera que quiera algo diferente y buena comida adecuada

Revisé este restaurante por primera vez en 2016 y tengo que decir que todavía me encanta. Estábamos de camino a Arisaig, así que nos detuvimos para almorzar y elegimos el queso, el jamón ahumado y el sándwich de pepinillos en color marrón con ensalada y col Sabiendo el tamaño de las porciones servidas aquí, optamos por compartir, lo cual no fue un problema para la encantadora señora que nos sirvió. Cada uno de nosotros tenemos nuestro propio plato, así que no nos vamos a comer del mismo plato. Buen toque. Un café encantador también. Mientras allí notamos a una señora en otra mesa disfrutando de un bollo con mermelada de fresa casera y crema que se veía deliciosa, así que al regresar de Arisaig volvimos a entrar con todo cruzado con la esperanza de poder probar eso también. Tuvimos suerte ya que todavía tenían algunos disponibles. Nuevamente compartimos y nuevamente fabuloso. El personal es muy agradable y toda la comida se ve increíble. No puedo esperar para volver el próximo año cuando abran en abril.

Als je het Glenfinnan Viaduct wilt zien, is het Glenfinnan Station een goede startplaats. Hier staan een paar oude treinwagons. In the Glenfinnan Dining Car, kun je gezellig wat eten of drinken met zicht op het perron en met een beetje mazzel de stoomtrein, die binnenkomt op het perron. Heel leuk.

Arrêt rapide pour le dejeuner et nous n'avons pas été déçus !Acceuil chaleureux! Ne vous attendez pas à un repas gastronomique ici c'est simple et efficace ! Repas copieux avec un excellent rapport qualité prix !On adore

Great wee place to eat. The mushroom soup we had was delicious 😋 and the staff were very friendly & helpful. I would definitely recommend going there.

Chanced upon this little place after a walk up to the viaduct. So cosy and warm and the staff are very helpful and friendly. We arrived with only 5mins until stopped selling food but they fit us in and we had one of the nicest soup and sarnies I've ever had!

Wir stießen zufällig auf dieses „Lokal“ wobei es kleiner als ein solches ist, aber gerade deshalb umso gemütlicher. Es war sehr liebevoll dekoriert, mit alten Koffern oben in der Ablage etc. Wir hatten die Tagessuppe und waren wirklich überrascht wie lecker diese war. Auch der Service war absolut gut und „really lovely“ wie der Schotte sagen würde. Für einen Happen zwischendurch absolut empfehlenswert.

What a fun experience! We had a great time having sandwiches and hot cocao, hiding from the rain before visiting the viaduct. Such friendly staff as well!

Arriving only 15 minutes before the Jacobite train we found that almost all the parking was gone. I dropped off my wife and grandson near the viewpoint and gratefully was allowed to park in the last spot in the lot below the station museum dining car. After the train passed we all walked back and enjoyed scones and tea in the dining car. It was the most delicious snack and welcoming place we ate in all of Scotland. The old eating car was a curiosity and after we ate we took some pictures of our grandson jumping into the air on the broomsticks provided at the platform.

Irrinunciabile una sosta in questo locale realizzato all’interno di una vecchia carrozza nella stazione dei treni di Glenfinnan, anche se il cibo fosse orribile cosa che non è! In omaggio con la consumazione l’ingresso al vicino Museo. Top!

Stopped here for a drink with friends, looked a bit shabby from the outside, once inside we decided to have a spot of lunch as well. great service, simple, but great food and all for a reasonable price. We wanted to try, and share, the soup, and the Toastie sandwich that was the special that day. The lady serving us suggested the meal deal which we did. The staff split the meal into two portions so that we each had our own helping, fabulous!!!

Stopped for breakfast - before the viaduct walk. Really pleasant and friendly staff - good food. Look out for the hand-carved wands!

Petite pause après une petite balade.

Excellent accueil et cuisine simple mais très bonne dans ce wagon restaurant. Une pause extrêmement sympathique avant d’assister au passage du train à vapeur reliant Mallaig à Fort William et revivre un instant une des scènes mythiques d’Harry Potter.

Eating in an old train is a fun experience, specially with kids. The food is actually excellent, the salmon salad was very well prepared, so were the toasties and the soup, (tomato soup, great taste, very aromatic). There are also plenty of choices for dessert, however only tried one, with chocolate, but was oh-so-good.

Stopped here for lunch. Soup was delicious with nice bread on the side. We also had the salmon sandwich. Portion size was nice and everything was fresh. The place can get busy as it is not large so booking may be required we got lucky to have a walk in space.

I love scones but these were dry and hard. Perhaps as it was just open they were yesterday’s scones?? They need a new recipe if not. Cute interior.

This place is a gem, don't miss it if you're visiting the area. Huge pieces of moist ginger cake, yum yum. The tables are only for 4 people though so if you have a party of 5 be prepared! Book if you're going around the times of the steam trains as it will be busy, also be aware parking is very limited and the car park will be closed from at least an hour (probably more) before the steam train is due.

A really good surprise. A copious lunch, really good, especially the soup of the day that was perfect. All the people workin there are really nice. A plaisant place to eat.

My family had a great experience eating in the dining car at the Glenfinnan Station Museum. The food was good, service very friendly, and the setting was just perfect. The tiny museum is worth a visit as well. And then do take the trail out to view the viaduct. Very fun family experience.

Paramos para almorzar antes de ir a ver el pase de Hogwarts Express en el viaducto de Glenfinnan. ¡Woooow wooooow estábamos comiendo en el auto de Hogwarts Express! Buena comida y excelente calidad. Tomamos un delicioso Sanwich con cerdo y unos fantásticos bollos súper deliciosos servidos con esa crema tan ligera que parecía una nube. . Realmente todo excelente y de excelente calidad. La dama y el niño que nos servían eran reyes, especialmente con los niños.

Beaucoup de chance car le wagon ferme à 17h donc nous n'avons pas mangé mais juste pris un thé avec scones et pâtisseries.

Ce superbe restaurant dans un train est simple mais délicieux. Les soupes du jour sont excellentes, les sandwichs aussi.

We had lunch here today and it was delicious,tomato and courgette soup thick and full of flavour,l had a pulled pork toasted sandwich and my wife had the salmon toasted on brown bread. Just a small place but the staff worked hard to make it seamless

The atmosphere is unique, the lady who took our orders was so nice and the food was amazing. We had two sandwiches and a goat cheese salad with pear chutney (sooo delicious). We enjoyed it so much that we actually came back after we saw the Jacobite train and had some lovely scones with a huge cappuccino sprinkled with cocoa.

Ideaal om een heerlijke tosti te eten na het bezoeken van de Harry potter trein, vriendelijk personeel, lekker verse tosti tegen een eerlijke prijs

This station was a brief 20 minute stop on our Jacobite train trip and it happened to be one of the hottest days in Scotland that day!

Our family of four hiked up to this restaurant from the Glenfinnan Visitor Center. It was about a 15 minute walk up-hill. All four of us devoured our ham and cheese sandwiches. Very fun eating in a railway car! Service was very quick and friendly.

According to the website this place offers teas and light lunches, however I’m afraid the only thing that I found here today was atrocious service at the hands of a snobby waitress who apparently deals only in condescension. I was brought here today as a birthday surprise, during what was inevitably a difficult day after the sudden loss of a beloved family member, but I’m afraid what was meant to be a nice end to a lovely day was somewhat ruined after entering this place. When we entered we were met by a lovely young man who confirmed we could chose a seat “anywhere we liked”. As it was incredibly hot, the hottest day of the year in fact (and the dining cart was employing fans in an attempt to cool the scorching temperatures inside), we decided upon the one table which was shaded from the sun. Having worked in the service industry myself while at university I know how busy things can get, and since the table was dirty, we began to clear up the tissues that were strewn across the table by previous guests. While doing so the waitress in question, a small, older woman with short cropped hair, rushed over to us and told us (not asked) in a very curt manner “excuse me! sit at another table, I haven’t cleared this one, you can’t just sit anywhere!”. I was extremely taken aback as to why she would be so rude and uppity about us simply choosing a seat so I explained that the gentleman at the front had told us to sit anywhere we liked, and as it was the one seat that was out of the sun we chose that one. She then told me, in the most condescending manner in which I have ever been spoken to that “no, you can’t sit at dirty tables until I have cleared them, you need to go somewhere else, go over there and I will call you back” honestly, it may not seem like a big deal but the way in which I was spoken to was atrocious and so rude. Being asked to move would’ve been fine, if it was said in a polite and friendly way and not in such an utterly disrespectful tone. After that we decided just to leave, not wishing to patronise somewhere which had just treated us with such disdain. I doubt negative reviews will have much impact - this is a small area and tourists will always come so the audience is captive, but do not expect a warm welcome or a kind face. I shudder to think that this woman’s horrible attitude could be the first impression someone has of Scottish hospitality. I know it was a hot day but nothing warrants treating others with such a disgustingly rude and patronising attitude. When we left we were treated to a smirk and an overly loud “bye now” - says it all really.

Ideal for a cup of tea and a cake in a truly rail dining car atmosphere. Table service but can get very busy.

Only thing that stops this getting 5 stars is the price. Over £7 for a sandwich is pushing it. Saying that, the food is delicious and well worth a visit.

The best gluten free freshly baked chocolate brownie I have ever had. This quaint old railway carriage has been tastefully renovated as a restaurant. If you have time on your Jacobite journey, try and stop off here for a cup of tea or more.

We had the days special, black pudding cheese & tomato toastie. It came with a fresh salad and coleslaw. It was very tasty. When we first arrived, all tables were busy or reserved, but the manager gave us complimentary tickets for the railway museum and personally came to the museum to inform when a table was free.We were very impressed!

The fixed Dining Car has a simple but tasty menu, all fresh and served with a smile to your carriage table. A deck outside gives a scenic view. Small, busy parking area, but worth the effort.

Après avoir admiré le train Harry Potter, nous avons découvert ce petit wagon qui cache bien son jeu. Le menu est simple sandwich, soupe du jour, salades, gâteaux typiques (scones, shortbread...) mais tout est préparé sur place avec des produits frais. Nous voilà donc installé avec la vue sur le Glen avec nos sandwichs toastés, un régal. Le personnel est très sympathique et peut vous le préparer en take away.

Used mainly by people going to see the station museum I imagine, it serves a variety of tes, cakes, light meals. We were made most welcome and would be a good place to take a break in the otherwise long drive between Mallaig an£ Fort William.

We set of from here on the viaduct walk and bumped into a member of staff outside who advised us about upcoming updates which will be good to see on our next visit.

Good to sit in a carriage that takes me back 40 odds years. Lady on day we went (23rd may) was so helpful and cheery she was wonderful. The food was outstanding, a great time and we by chance happened to be there when 2 mallaig steam trains were due past, result !!!. Museum took me back as well as I have been booking office involved since 1982 . All good

Honestly one of the best meals we had on our entire trip. Very original, quaint and cozy place to eat. See our pics.

We stumbled across the Museum Dining Car by complete chance on our way to see the Glenfinnan Viaduct, and were so glad that we did! Such a beautiful, historic experience, and the service and food were faultless. I loved the grilled goats cheese salad - for me, it was the best meal of my time in Scotland!

Called for breakfast. We both had a egg and black pudding sandwich. It was gorgeous, just what a sandwich should be. The lady who served us was lovely and friendly. A great little stop off.

Fuimos a Glenfinnan para ver el famoso viaducto, nuestros hijos querían un poco de experiencia de HP. Después de que la máquina de vapor llegara y se fuera, seguimos el consejo de los usuarios de Tripadvisor y almorzamos en Glenfinnan Station Museum Dining Car. Nos encantó el ambiente del vagón comedor con maletas viejas sobre nuestras cabezas y el tiolet ferroviario típico; ) El personal fue muy amable, aunque estaban a punto de cerrar. Teníamos sándwiches, tostadas y la sopa, todo delicioso. Fue una brillante idea convertir ese carro en un restaurante. ¡Gracias gente Glenfinnan! Si volvemos a estar cerca, definitivamente vendremos.

My friend and I were on a short visit to the Highland and as I am a Harry Potter nut, a trip to the Glenfinnan Viaduct was planned.

My friend and I visited here for a quick coffee and bite to eat after visiting The Glenfinnan viaduct. It was excellent, we were greeted by a young Scottish lad with a big smile saying “hello” and told us to sit down and someone will be over to take out orders. A lady came over and took our order promptly and the order arrived within 5 minutes .The food was a scone and cream which was really nice especially in the setting of the railway carriage, which was clean and bright and I ordered a fruit and nut flapjack with a coffee. I couldn’t fault the food at all and you could tell they were home made and fresh. Great experience and a friendly smile which we received upon entering always helps. I would definitely return.

6 adult travellers, 1 fanatic railway junkie. Found this place by Googling, and had a magic hour chomping on sandwiches, and knocking down tea.

Went with my family, haven’t got too much to say, friendly and helpful staff. Me and partner got toasties which was expensive £7.70 for sandwich and some salad. However was homemade and very tasty but only complaint is price. However another member of my group had the homemade cream of mushroom soup and she said it’s the best soup she ever had and came with some bread alongside

La comida y la repostería casera aquí siempre son excelentes, pero esta mañana paramos a desayunar y comimos increíbles desayunos escoceses, completos con pudín negro Stornoway y tattie scones. No hay mejor manera de comenzar el día, prepárense para charlar en las colinas alrededor de Glenfinnan. El personal es encantador, amable y servicial como siempre!

Después de buscar en el café básico en el Viaducto de Glenfinnan (no hay mucha elección), decidimos subir aquí para el almuerzo. Tengo que decir que me preguntaba si sería un antiguo y viejo vagón de tren y me quedé muy gratamente impresionado. Encantador y limpio con un personal amable y acogedor. Un montón de elementos de almuerzo para elegir - sopa, pan tostado, sándwiches y luego pastel o bollo, crema y mermelada para terminar. Todos los productos locales y muy sabrosos.

Petite carte sans trop de prétention mais avec les ingrédients provenant des producteurs locaux.

Este restaurante está justo al lado de la estación de tren en un lugar relativamente oscuro. Pero, está justo al lado del famoso Glenfinnan. El restaurante en sí está en un antiguo vagón de tren. Se ha dejado casi exactamente como estaba, ya que puedes ver el equipaje viejo arriba y las señales en los retretes. El personal es muy amable, auténtico y entusiasta. Sirve comida de buena calidad, con ingredientes frescos. Personalmente me gustaron los toasties en oferta. Un área de mejora sería agregar una mayor variedad de opciones sabrosas en el menú, porque en realidad solo hay sándwiches y sopas. Recomiendo este restaurante a cualquiera en la zona, principalmente por el entorno fabuloso.

Estaba lloviendo, por lo que muchos visitantes buscaban un lugar en algún lugar dentro de los edificios. Es por eso que fue arrastrado en el coche comedor. Hicimos una especie de reserva y visitamos el Museo de la Estación de Ferrocarril en breve. Cuando volvimos nos sentamos. El almuerzo que se servía era absolutamente excelente. Lo mismo vale para el personal que trabaja duro.

We came across this place by accident when looking for somewhere for lunch. What a friendly pleasant experience. We had soup and a sandwich which was served quickly and a lovely place to have it. Great.

Estabamos en ruta desde Skye a Oban y buscabamos un sitio donde comer, por casualidad nos encontramos un cartel hacia este Dining y fue maravilloso.

Really unusual location on Glenfinnan Station. Simple food of the highest quality and very generous portions. Sandwiches and soups are superb.

We found this accidentally, and it was a nice surprise. It is VERY small with seating for maybe 25 people tops, but the people were very friendly, and the food was very good for a nice price. Highly recommended. It is right next to the railway museum which is also interesting for railroad buffs. The high trail (long way) to get to the Glenfinnon Viaduct starts here, but would take about 45 minutes to reach the viaduct.

What a great little find. Such a unique little setting in the Highlands. This old railway carriage is the best. I ordered a small lunch which was so tasty and served with a smile. The staff here are very warm and friendly and make you feel very welcome.

Quelle surprise que ce repas inattendu dans un wagon restaurant !!!

Old railway carriages have a certain charm. This one is no exception !

We popped in for a break from the rain and were verly pleasantly surprised with this place. Lovely afternoon treat and staff were very attentive and friendly. Definetly pop in.

We absolutely loved this cozy cafe with delicious soup and toasties. The restaurant where we were planning to eat near the Glenfinnan Viaduct was closed for lunch today, but they suggested we try the dining car. I was not expecting much, but the food was great, the prices were good, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Very pleased with my aged cheddar toastie with a broccoli and blue cheese soup.

Samen met enkele andere gasten hebben wij in deze tot restaurant omgetoverd restaurant genoten van een heerlijke lunch, bestaande uit een prima soep en rijkelijk gevulde sandwiches. Het is er heel sfeervol en de bediening is zeer vriendelijk en goed.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch here. The soup tasted fresh and wholesome. The sandwiches were made of chunky fresh bread with loads of filling. I liked the fact that you could reserve a table, so you can go for a walk and know there will be a table waiting for you at the end. There is free parking and they give you tickets for the station museum.

Lunch sans prétention mais cadre exceptionnel dans un wagon de train des années 50

After a long hike or just got off the car, this hidden gem is the perfect place to stop. Lovely lovely food (black pudding and cheese toastie is my treat), well cooked and very clean (this is one of the rare places where I eat the salad), heartwarming smiles and an amazing view. The super cute robin saying hello on the terrace was the icing on the cake of my day.

My wife and I visited for lunch, the dining car is a lovely setting to enjoy lunch. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and the cheese and ham toastie is one of the best every, my wife had the soup that was also excellent.

Da wir keinen Parkplatz am Viadukt bekamen als der Zug drüber fuhr, kamen wir hier her, im den Zug wenigstens zu sehen. Nachdem der alte Zug mit Dampflok weg war, haben wir hier ein spätes Frühstück eingenommen.

Un endroit très mignon, une vue magnifique et des personnes très sympathiques et présentes ! Le rapport qualité prix est top vraiment !

The station, museum and setting are all superb, but the dining car is fantastic. Wonderful restored 1950s dining car with all original features (inc. toilets! ) and authentic touches like vintage luggage on luggage racks. Food excellent and friendly delightful 'staff'.

This is a super cute restaurant selling seriously good cake. My daughter and I had tiffin and shortbread and it was divine. Going back for lunch tomorrow as we were so impressed with the service and experience!

Très belle surprise que ce wagon restaurant de Glenfinnan. Produits frais et propositions originales. Service aimable.

Fun and quirky venue, great homemade food! Friendly staff, definitely recommend! Worth booking ahead.

Un cadre vraiment très chouette, attention, ce ne sont que des tables de 4 (banquette de train oblige) du coup si vous venez à plus, vous serez sur 2 tables.

Ce n'est pas de la grande cuisine (on se rapproche plus d'une petite brasserie ou d'un snack), mais ce qui est proposé est bien fait, les quantités sont bien, les prix corrects et le service efficace.

Durante la passeggiata per andare a vedere il famoso viadotto ci siamo fermati in questo bar ristorante situato dentro un vagone ferroviario, dove servono piatti semplici ma appetitosi, non c’è tantissima scelta ma l’ambientazione è veramente particolare. Il personale è molto gentile e i prezzi sono nella media. Abbiamo preso un filetto di salmone affumicato servito con crostini di pane imburrati e verdurine varie, e per dessert degli scones (la porzione ne comprende 2) con marmellata di fragole fatta in casa e panna montata, più un tiffin al cioccolato; in 4 abbiamo pagato, incluse le bevande e la mancia, 70 sterline. Servono anche vari tipi di zuppe oltre che sandwich e toast di vario tipo.

Stopped here by chance...and so glad we did! Great friendly service, great food and something different - also offered some calm from the excitement of the viaduct. CT

Saw the sign at the side of the road so stopped to investigate. So glad we did as we found a charming setting for a lovely lunch.

The dining car is cosy and pretty. That is not the best though - the best are the people working there, they are extremely nice and considerate for children. Our children both got special editions of items on the menu, and all the food were freshly made and delicious. Exactly what we needed after walking to the viaduct from the station to see the Jacobite.

We were advised by friends to have lunch here and I am so pleased that we did. We took my son and his girlfriend, we received a lovely welcome, it was a glorious day so we chose to eat outdoors although inside was atmospheric.

The goat’s cheese and pear chutney salad was really nice - lovely staff and great surroundings at Glenfinnan station. This is an original dining car with limited seating inside but with additional seating outside. Definitely worth a visit.

This is a great place for a spot of lunch or a little something to eat

Wir stießen bei unserem Trip nach Glenfinnan mehr oder weniger zufällig auf dieses Restaurant. Es liegt direkt gegenüber der Glenfinnan Stadion. Die Speisekarte ist sehr klein gehalten und bötet eine Komno aus Tagesspiegel und Sandwich/Toastie. Das Essen schmeckt sehr gut und ist mit liebe zu bereitet. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Mehr oder weniger zufällig gerieten wir an diesen „Dining Car“, der gegenüber der Bahnhaltestelle „Glenfinnan“ und somit auch unweit des berühmten Viadukts steht. Der umgebaute, nostalgische Speisewagen bietet eine solide Auswahl an einfachen Speisen und Getränken (z. B. die in Schottland verbreitete Soup&Sandwich-Combo; zum Mittagessen). Man muss hier keine kulinarischen Überraschungen erwarten, es ist aber alles mit Liebe zubereitet und von bodenständigen, sehr netten Menschen serviert.

I got told to stop of here by a friend who used to pass it all the time and had never went in , he knew I would like it and he was right it was the perfect brunch stop for me I love trains and it's fantastic that you get a free entry to the small but educational train station museum if you have something to eat in the dining carriage , I went for the soup and sandwich deal with a large coffee and wasn't disappointed with any of it not even the price , if I'm passing this way again I will make sure I stop, I never normally leave trip advisor reviews for anything but pubs and restaurants but this diner carriage deserves a bit of praise true Scottish heritage with decent food nice walks around perfect if only I could have had a beer

C’était une halte qui devait se transformer en un sandwich rapide au bord de la route, finalement nous avons trouvé ce restaurant. Rapide mais très bons, à base de sandwich, de salades et de soupes. Je recommande vivement. En plus, on déjeune dans un ancien wagon, c’est très original !

I like to avoid the tourist crowds and I like unique activities a bit off the regular list. I somehow found the Glenfinnan Station Museum dining car online and it was on my list during our two weeks in Scotland and I'm thrilled we found it!!

We had lunch here last month and it was the cutest spot to stop for lunch. Not crowded at all, casual and reasonably priced. My sandwich and chowder was great, as was our waitress! Hit the spot and gave us a break on our journey from Skye to Glen Nevis National Park. Highly recommend, I would definitely return!

Una delle poche alternative del posto.

Stopped on road to Arasaig what a joy. Warm welcome from staff. Great menu and fresh home baked food. I had Scone jam and cream to die for. If you are in the area make a point of stopping by you will not be disappointed.

Visited for lunch, a warm welcome from staff and lovely soup and toasties. Good portions and Neil Young on the stereo. What's not to love?

Visited for Coffee whilst on holiday. What a gem. Brought back a few memories. Coffe and Tea good Service very friendly and swift. The Scones were superb. Will visit again. Free ticket to the railway museum next door if you use the Dining Car.

Ce restaurant à deux pas du fameux viaduc est une belle découverte. Carte simple de sandwichs servis toastés ou non. Pas de bière mais il est possible d'en acheter de la fraîche au musée voisin et de la boire dans le restaurant. Jolis dessert fait maison.

Glenfinnan Dining Car is an excellent place to eat after/before visiting the viaduct. They have such tasty sandwiches, soups, and cakes. Coffee, tea, soft drinks are available as well. The atmosphere here is warm, friendly and inviting; not to mention how cool the aesthetic of the dining car is! The staff was very helpful and kind. There is an excellent view from the dining car and you can even hike to the viaduct from here! You also get free tickets to visit a wee, little train museum. I found this place to have an exceedingly better atmosphere than the super packed cafe by the viaduct visiting center. Their prices are also affordable and reasonable. It is worth a stop, whether you’re coming or going!

Great breakfast for hungry bike packers. Great music from Hendix too. Good service from friendly people.

Un posto un po’ insolito e carino dove potersi rifocillare dopo la passeggiata per vedere il famoso treno sul viadotto fino alla stazione di Glenfinnan.

The railway dining car is located at glenfinnan station. It has a great atmosphere. Old suit cases and the original interior give it a nostalgic feeling. We sat outside and enjoyed the view towards loch shiel. Staff is very friendly and efficiënt. The menu is not spectacular but the home made soup is delicious. They also offer a soup and sandwich deal. Graat place to unwind.

We enjoyed the well presented sandwiches followed by tea and amazing scones. Friendly and prompt service. A train restroom at the back of the car. Situated just in front of the trail head to walk the full viaduct trail that includes the loch views before you reach the viaduct. (Challenging but worthwhile climb to the top with an easy trail to get back.) We visited the Dining car twice and were very pleased both times!

Popped in for lunch on a grey Scottish day. Lovely service, great food and good view.

We first had a cup of tea in this dining car and, as the setting was pleasant and the staff really friendly, we decided to come back for lunch. We were not disappointed: the food was fresh and tasty!
