Redburn Cafe in Highland

Popped in today and managed to get a table as they were very busy so enjoyed our usual wonderful lunch. Always cooked to perfection and the famous "Richard's chips" were fantastic. They are dog friendly too so our wee pooch Alvah had a great time being petted by other visitors.

Great as always! Leanne, Richard and Bain friendly as usual. The food is lovely especially the chips! Great little local small business.

Absolutely disrespectfull and hostile place. We arrived with our family in a campervan, just to have a coffee for take away. Stop for 5 min. Strange guy started banging on the front of our car as apparently we Parked in a wrong spot and that the owners don't like when someone parks there. So we moved our campervan where he wanted and we blocked the way out/in. Woman and a man who were serving us were giving us very angry looks. We piad £10 for 2 small coffees and a wee muffin (from Deep frost). Even my 2.5 years old daugher said that "they weren't nice" ! Put a sign up that you don't like to serve people from campervans or foreign as your place isn't welcoming anyway! We don't recommend at all.

What a happy accident finding this place on the way to Inverness! It was adorable inside and we were greeted by a very friendly lady (who I assume was the owner, although I didn’t ask). I would recommend going st least an hour before close if you are looking for food as the restaurant does close before they café does. We had a great mocha and chai latte, and got to meet the highland cows too!

What a wonderful little cafe & gift shop. The owners were very friendly & the food was excellent & well priced. A bonus they have 5 hairy coos that you can feed (1$ bag). They don’t charge extra to see the coos people were stopping along the road just to see them!

Sehr leckerer veganer Burger, der auf Wunsch Cheddar spendiert bekam. Die Baked Potato war ebenso sehr lecker. Darüber hinaus gab es viele hochwertige, schöne Souvenirs. Wir kauften ein Feuerzeug aus Holz gefertigt. Die Besitzer waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und baten uns an, die Toiletten zu nutzen, obwohl sie offiziell den Laden geschlossen hatten. Denn sie bieten Futter an, um die Highland Rinder gegenüber füttern zu können und danach war die Möglichkeit zum Hände waschen sehr willkommen. Ein Besuch ist absolut empfehlenswert 😊!

What a lovely little gem of a coffee shop / gift shop. Popped in for a coffee and light bite. Their gifts were beautiful and some hand made by the owners. We ended up coming away with a beautiful hand crafted and paint table lamp. Highly recommend a stop here. The owners were polite and place and facilities were very clean. Food was very delicious too. Will be visiting again on our next trip up

We called in here on our journey home from Scotland and were very impressed by it. It’s beautiful location, the fact it was well maintained, ample parking, the lovely food on offer and the friendly owners made it a most enjoyable experience. We can highly recommend this place and will certainly pop in again if we are in the area.

Visiting highlands with my Mother and Brother and nearly missed this Gem of a cafe in the heart of the highlands. Excellent Food and impeccable host! Enjoyed the Tomato Basil soup and Vegan Burger with chips. Recommend highly Arun

Erg leuke stop gemaakt bij dit koffietentje. Zeer vriendelijke Schotse bediening. Scones, cake en appeltaart en fish and chips.

Great lunch of home made soup and a coffee, followed by delicious cake. We also purchased a lovely handmade wooden lamp base made by the owner.

We found this little place along the road because we saw the cows in the field. So glad we stopped. We got to feed "Martha" the cow. We grabbed ourselves a scottish pie as well. The owners were quite nice. Have a stop if you are in the area.

We stopped on the way to Skye. Had apple pie, which was heavenly. Very friendly owner. Tables inside to sit & rest. Was impressed.

We stopped in for some coffee & tea & to stretch our legs during our drive from the Isle of Skye to Inverness. The service was fantastic, washrooms were clean, & there was a great variety on the menu. Some sweet little gift items & baked goods to choose from as well.

This is a lovely location, worth stopping for at least getting a bag of goodies to lure the "hairy coos" over for a photo op. But if you're hungry, stay for the fantastic food as well. We had a steak burger and the Highland beef chili, both perfect for the chilly and rainy day and being locally sourced, was high quality and flavorful. We ordered a scone and toffee muffin for takeaway and later enjoyed the homemade treats. Delicious! We arrived here on a rainy day when there were flood alerts around Scotland. The owners asked about peoples' travel plans and checked out any road closures and gave great advice about the best routes to take for safety. Also, since we fed the Highland cows after we ate, the owner suggested we come back in afterwards to wash our hands, which was a nice offer. We were made to feel at home and welcome in this little treasure of a place.

Friendly people, good coffee, and...cow food so you can visit and feed the adorable highland cows across the street.

Best chips of my life! Little cafe on the way from Eilean Donan Castle to Glencoe. Food is freshly made - I had a chicken burger and you could taste the freshness of the ingredients. Lovely couple running the place. Highly recommended

We stopped her for bunch before our drive to the glenfinnan viaduct, really nice food and pleasant atmosphere. They have the Highland coo's in the field over the road which you can buy pellets for and feed them to, they are very slobbery but very gentle animals.

Stopped for a late lunch - ended up having fully cooked meals - the best food we have had since being on the road. Well presented, good portions and even though it was nearing close time (3pm) we weren’t rushed. Coffee was good also. Would thoroughly recommend

Needed a quick stop for a drink and a bite. This place was in the right place at the right time. Had a scone for the road that was great. Staff were friendly. Homemade Tablet. And to top it off Heilan Coos to feed across the road which made my wife’s morning.

Stopped in this cute little spot for a pot of tea, along with carrot cake and ice cream. Everything was good, as was the service. We loved feeding the Highlanders across the road. Such a neat experience! Thank you

Very nice place to take a coffee (and more) while travelling through Scotland. The service is great and just a tip to visit. We made our stop on our way from Skye to Inverness. Extra fun to feed the Scotti cows!

I went to Urquhart Castle on August 19, 2023, and then on to Eilean Donan Castle. Nestled right between the two locations was this cafe had delicious food. Leanne was welcoming and I selected the Vegan Pastie from her various selections. There is an additional bonus to this cafe, however. They sell a bag of food for the coos across the road! Note: prepare yourself for the coo to engulf your entire hand when it takes food from it. I’m from Alabama and used to properly mannered southern cows gingerly taking the food from your hand. This coo took my hand in like a hillbilly with a chicken wing and sucked up everything that was attached into the full of his mouth. You’ve been warned!

As well as the tables in the cafe, there are outside tables with covers to protect from the wind and rain. We had some delicious freshly made sandwiches and the burger with great chips. Followed by some tea/coffee and a muffin. Quality and price were great. Although the cafe was quite busy, the service was excellent. After lunch we had the pleasure of feeding the lovely coos. Highly recommend Redburn Cafe.

We stoped here for a quick bite, and had a very pleasant surprise. We had sandwiches, freshly made, and some delicious carrot cake.

We had a delicious lunch here; home-smoked chicken caesar salad with chunky fries on the side - all super fresh and the chicken was absolutely perfect. The welcome is warm and the atmosphere friendly & relaxed. Home cooking at great value prices and you can pick up some fabulous gifts too. Thanks so much - we will be back for more of your lovely menu!

This is my second visit...ten years apart! The staff are amazingly kind and friendly, and the food is excellent. The coos are still there as well! You'd be daft not to stop by, even if it's just for a cuppa.

Vandaag bezochten wij dit cafe. Het is een gezellige plek en het eten is goed. De eigenaren zijn ook zeer vriendelijk! Een aanrader! P.s. je kunt eer highland cows voeren, hoe leuk!

Stopped for the cows, stayed for the kind owners and their great food! Home smoked cheddar with homemade apple cider chutney on wheat, delicious! Amazing artistic couple selling great food, beautiful art in a friendly atmosphere.

Excellent food, coffee, and hospitality. Cute shop with a nice dining area with lovely views and clean bathrooms. You will be greeted by a friendly dog and you can even feed the cows! This was a perfect stop between Loch Ness and Skye.

Fabulous food, friendly staff, and fuzzy Moo’s. This place was absolutely wonderful! The food was delicious and high quality! The Hairy Cows were so interesting. Highly recommend!!!

Who'd have thought that my bad case of IBS on the journey from Skye to Aberdeenshire is going to make us discover such a lovely cafe... The owners are super friendly and the food selection + taste are very good. One of the owners also...

An amazing little cafe, great coffee, and the coolest experience in feeding the absolute cutest highland cows!

I called here with 2 tour guide guests and although a busy day, we were quickly served. The food was tasty and the service was friendly. All I could ask for!

The place is lovely and the staff kind and hardworking. We had the pancakes with bacon and they were amazing, as were our cold and hot drinks

An absolute delight in meeting, feeding and petting Heilans Coos (Hamish being the leader of the herd)! The cows were right across the road from the cafe. We went through four bags of feed (£1 each from the cafe). We had spotted some Highland cows...

Friendly staff, great coffee stop but then tempted by the scrumptious deep filled apple pie and warming Scotch pie. Reasonably priced. The breakfast looked good too. Definitely worth a stop if you are on this route.

Great food and warm staff. Plus hairy coos. What more could you ask! We ordered the pie, chips, and BLT. All of which were great!

What a fabulous find! This little place was a great pit stop for lunch as we were driving from Broadford to Inverness. Delicious food & especially tasty desserts. Great variety of beverages too. Staff were super friendly and helpful. This wonderful place was the modern...

What an amazing place! Lovely people, great feeding the highland cows, and as a cook great food well made. A must go to place! I'd give 6 stars if posible. A jewel in the area.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stop here. Great cake and friendly service. An excellent experience feeding the Highland cows. Will definitely be returning.

We try and pop in when we come across to Inverness. The cafe is very welcoming, great bacon rolls and a really friendly place . You can even watch or feed highland cows across the road .

Excellent homemade food Nice local craftwork Warm and delicious welcome Lovely place Merci à vous pour cette délicieuse étape ! Antoine et Nathalie

Lovely and friendly cafe, with fresh food and various options for any kind of preferences, like vegan, gluten free. Funny notes all around. Excellent service. Stop here if you can

The Loch Ness is all right and Glencoe can be fun, but if you go to Scotland you have to go to the Redburn cafe. The people are warm, the food is great, the dog is cute and you can feed some cows if that's...

Stopped for a quick bite to eat at lunchtime expecting usual roadside offerings. What a surprise. This is not your average roadside café. Menu was amazing. Food was delicious and the staff were so pleasant and helpful. Five stars - no problem.

Stopped in while taking a break on the drive to Skye. Nice place to have a cup of espresso before you continue on your drive.

Very friendly welcome, we called in for coffee and cake and we’re delighted to have detoured from the An Turas Moor route. The food was home made with a range of cakes, biscuits and ice creams. We were sorry not to be there for lunch...

We stopped at Redburn on our way from Skye to Fort Augustus in our motorhome. Lovely welcome from the proprietor and their Golden Retriever! Excellent breakfast / brunch. If we’re ever this way again would definitely call in!

Excellent food, surroundings and hosts. The home made vegan (its not contagious) Mushroom Soup was the best I've ever tasted, with warm fresh bread and butter, truly scrumpltious. My better half had the scrambled egg with smoked salmon, smoked by themselves in their own smokehouse....

Well signposted from the road and excellent set up with both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is sheltered by mini marquees so it's a good place to go with your dog. The staff are very friendly and nice as is their dog Baine....

Lovely and welcoming little cafe. Dog friendly with a good selection of snacks and food - highly recommended and very handy for the road to Skye

We stop here for a tea and a cake on our roadtrip and it was such a lovely visit! The handmade fresh baked cakes were delicious! And the staff lovely. A very charmy little place with lovely tea’s and delicious cakes is all you want...

The food was absolutely delicious. The chili and rice was spit on. We also bought a bag of food to feed the cows across the street. Kids absolutely loved it.

We had a great lunch stop here, went out to feed the cows nearby, and picked up some hand-crafted pens to take home. It was a pleasure to discover this place by surprise and I'd recommend stopping here to anyone else passing through.

Fantastic coffee, delicious food and really friendly people. Also definitely worth viewing the hand crafted items for sale.

Brilliant place. Friendly, clean, varied menu and use local and homegrown food. All round superb, highly recommended.

Excellent breakfast for 5 hungry bikers. Very clean and friendly family business . When I mentioned the deep gravel in car park being a bit thick for bikes was told just to use the house drive next time. Checked that and there's plenty room for...

Really welcoming, beautifully calm little restaurant, splendid views and plenty of shaded outside areas. Wish we had eaten but just stopped for coffee which was delicious.

We visited while staying in the area for a short break. Nice coffee and a decent selection of lunch and snack items. Good place to stop on the road to/from Skye as there aren't many coffee or lunch stops around.

Brilliant little bistro/cafe. Excellent location. Owners give a excellent service. Food is excellent. The owners own handmade wood lamps ,bowls,pens etc are unique. Plenty of variation hot or cold. Highly recommended 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must visit if your in the area Kevin & Annette

Great unexpected find on the way to Skye from Fort Augustus & Loch Ness ... really lovely homemade soup & sandwich, lovely staff & met Bain the resident Labrador ... very dog friendly & totally on top of COVID rules ... great stop for lunch!

We were driving Glenmorriston and came across this little gem of a place at coffee time. We got a really friendly welcome and chose a couple of things from the breakfast menu. I had the pancakes, maple syrup and bacon, all of which was tasty. There was also a generous amount of maple syrup which made a nice change. Coffee came in a good sized mug too.The toilets were spotless and a good size.All in all I thoroughly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Really friendly helpful staff, took the time out to talk to us and tell us about the local area :) beautiful food and such a beautiful setting, clean and tidy. Added bonus Is the beautiful highland coos over the road! We will be back on our next trip!

What a little gem! Food was fantastic, good portion sizes and was freshly cooked. The owner also has a little area of things for sale. He makes pens and rings out of wood and other finds. Take a look. I bought two gorgeous pens, couldn’t resist the craftsmanship. I bought a slim laburnum wood pen for my mother in law for Christmas and a chunkier pen for me made out of an antler that was too beautiful to resist. Such a fabulous find. Thank you

Because we were eating in the cafe, they kindly allowed us to stay in our Moto on the car park. The cafe is lovely, the owners very friendly and welcoming. The service was very good, the food excellent. We had an evening meal the day we arrived and a hearty breakfast the following morning. They do vegetarian meals and I had a gorgeous veggie cooked breakfast.

Looking for somewhere for lunch and we stopped off at this little gem. Great food, good service and felt very safe (COVID-19). Menu was varied and value for money.

My girlfriend and I are in fort Augustus for the weekend and we saw this place on tripadvisor. 20 minute drive from where we stayed but it was well worth it! The owner was very welcoming and friendly and the food was very nice. Will definitely be recommending this place to anyone in or near to the area!

I discovered Redburn online when planning our trip around the Highlands, I messaged via Facebook and right from the get go I knew I’d found a gem. Communication, service and food was amazing. We opted to sit inside with a view of the Highland Coos, however the outside area looked great too. After a super lunch we headed out to feed the woolly bully’s, what a treat! The gifts for sale are equally as lovely and I left with a handmade cushion that now sits pride of place on my sofa at home, a great reminder of our trip.

Stopped off for a coffee and cake and were so taken with the place that we decided to go for breakfast the following day. What a treat. The food arrived very quickly and was piping hot and very tasty. Because of COVID-19 the outside areas were all socially isolated. Tables and benches were under canopies and were very pleasant to the eye. The young couple who owned the cafe were extremely pleasant to everyone who went in and our grandkids loved patting Bain the golden retriever. If you’re passing through the area this is definitely somewhere to stop. We will return.

After spending 3 days at this point camping in my car whilst travelling the Highlands on a business commission. I had all but given up hope of enjoying any sort of a cooked meal outwith the dried pasta packets I had packed with me. Covid had surely shut down all cafes even for takeaway on my very long wet trip a good meal was greatly missed, all hope was gone until I suddenly spotted a sign at the side of the road, brakes applied and a sharp left turn to happily discover they were infact open and took card payments! Praise the lord i had found the gates of heaven! Beautiful covered seating area outside, friendly owners and the most amazing labrador retriever named finn who kept me company. The breakfast was the best I've ever eaten and im incredibly fussy with food, the tea was lovely, the shop immaculate and toilet facilities open with hilarious wee wall signs for pee time entertainment. I only returned from my trip this morning 3 days early after 5 days away and this wee cafe was the most welcoming and friendly human interaction I had from my entire trip up north, miles better than the "rona rage" I faced from a very expensive hotel I booked into last night. I have been raving about the service I received here and the stunning wood turned items for sale handmade by the owner himself! I will most definitely detour here again and encourage everyone to do the same. The owners were a breath of fresh air and made me feel welcome, the only time I felt welcome in the Highlands and not treated like a plague carrying danger. Thank you for your pleasant welcome and the blether x

Der Golden Retriever freut sich schon, wenn man aus dem Auto aussteigt. Im Café ist es gemütlich und der Service ist hervorragend. Die Inhaber sind sehr nett.Gerne wieder!

This was a wonderful discovery off the net. Small place with both indoor and outdoor seating. The food was superb! The couple take great pride and put in so much effort in the preparation and presentation of the food.A lot of the stuff that they use is grown in their own vegetable patch. Delicious and fresh.We had limited stuff but the best of the lot was their chicken salad that was a visual delight and gourmet stuff. The roasted salmon soup was excellent. We thought the venison burger was OK but maybe we are not experts on that. The mushroom soup was also very good.I strongly recommend this place. You must stop here for a lovely lunch.

Nous avons très bien mangé dans ce petit resto-snack. Oeufs et bacon très bons.Il y avait une erreur dans ma commande mais on m'a changé mon plat rapidement.Malheureusement, il pleuvait beaucoup donc pas de visite aux vaches snif.
