The dinner we had was amazing. We were taken to the lounge and had drinks then very swiftly brought some entrees, then after was shown to our table where we loved every course, amazing fresh ingredients that tasted superb. The staff definitely amplified this experience, bringing in our drinks from the lounge, explaining every dish and were very polite as well as chatty and friendly past just serving our food. A great team all round. If you're in this Loch Ness area this is the place to go.

Absolutely superb food created by Sean and his team. We've stayed at The Lovat on a number of occasions and dinner at Station Road is a real experience and most definitely worthy of a ⭐ The menu was perfect with the locally foraged mushroom dish being one of the highlights - the textures were incredible. The apple mousse was really light and the treacle bread is always amazing. Venison was cooked to perfection and the venison tartare a great addition. The wee potato was yum! The cucumber pearls on the trout dish we're full of flavour and the mousse encased in the little leaf was packed with flavour. The wee pre starter was delicious too and set the tone. Good local beer and wine was lovely too. The hotel in general is first class. Great room which was super cosy and spacious with a really comfy bed. Public spaces gorgeous and peaceful. All together a great weekend - thanks to the team for looking after us once again 😃

What an absolutely wonderful dining experience! We were booked in the hotel and decided to treat ourselves to dinner at Station Road. We were so happy that we did! All the ingredients were fresh, tasty and well presented. The staff were so friendly and knowledgable about the dishes that were being served. Overall, the food and service were absolutely flawless.

Having dined at a few Michelin starred restaurants over the years, I would say this ranked up there with the best of them. We did the 3-course meal and were able to taste each dish. While the servings are a little on the small side, the desserts were large and everything was delicious. The service was excellent, specifically Liam in the bar was great. We had snacks in the bar the night before and he made our visits special each time. Dinner was expensive but worth every penny. If you get the chance to go, do it.

What an elegant surprise in Ft. Augustus. Our 7 course dinner of locally sourced ingredients was beautifully presented and delicious. The decor was lovely and comfortable making the 3 hour meal fly by. We matched the meal with a British Wine Pairing and were delighted with the quality of the lovely offerings. It was a perfect evening and worth the splurge.

The combination of flavors in each tasting was creative and elegant, yet there was something of a basic core genuineness about it. It wasn't overly fussy. And the staff was just so warm and welcoming, not pretentious. It made our last evening a special event.

Let’s start with the food. This chef is excellent. Innovative but ensuring balance. Great presentation and would be close to Michelin standard. Courses were well developed and some great skill was on show. Then the service which was as far away from fine dining as I have ever experienced. 30 minutes late with food, and then only when prompted. 1/2 the staff were unable to describe what was on the plate - there is no ownership of a table ( we were served by every member of staff including the receptionist). The young South African sommelier was the exception. Sad that excellent found is let down by front of house. Significantly over priced given this.

It's been two years since I wanted to visit Station Road and finally managed to convince my partner and another couple of friends to join me on this experience. I've been to Loch Nees before and the sole reason for this trip was to visit The Lovat and stay at their hotel. My expectations were as high as they could be at a restaurant, and I can't remember a time when I was more excited about visiting one. Before I talk about the restaurant it's worth setting the context for where this delightful food experience takes place. The hotel occupies an old family house which has been renovated to high standards while preserving its history. The Lovat is in the heart of the Highlands, right beside Loch Ness and surrounded by all the natural beauty of Scotland, making it the perfect venue for a delightful stay and an even better dining experience. The restaurant does not offer an a la carte menu and only two tasting menus (short and long), which can be made vegetarian upon request. Obviously, we selected the long version, called Mór, along with their wine flight. The entire experience began with an exquisite glass of English bubbles and a selection of little starters - delicious. Followed by the most amazing bread with a choice of salted & herb infused butter, paired with a beer aged in a whiskey barrel. The main dishes feature a variety of flavours: earthy from the forest, fresh from the lake and the sea, as well as meat.Their grand finale is a delightful venison dish with celeriac pastry and the most amazing jus. For dessert you get a sample of different flavours, all balanced and nothing too sweet which I would recommend topping up with a selection of cheeses and a glass of whiskey. Food was phenomenal, and service was attentive and welcoming. The prices were more than reasonable for the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. Thank you so much for exceeding my expectations!

We called the brasserie and booked just an hour in advance and were pleasantly surprised to get a booking 45 minutes after our arrival in Fort Augustus giving us time to walk our dog and have a couple of drinks at the bar This was our first visit to the brasserie although we had dined in the Station Road restaurant twice previously. Our expectations were high and we were not disappointed. I started with 3 Oysters my wife started with the Wild garlic Veloute. Both were excellent. For main we both ordered Pork belly and Fillet, again a fantastic meal. This restaurant continues to excel and is absolutely the go to fine dining experience in Fort Augustus.

We stayed at the Inn this past summer, and booked a dinner not knowing what to expect, and had not read any reviews. But it's with no exaggeration, one of the best dinning experiences we have had in newer time. Delicious creative dishes, served by a very motivated, friendly and professional staff. If we ever comes back... no, When we come to Scotland, we will dine here again. Well done and 5 stars

My beloved treated me for my birthday (as he knows this is my favourite restaurant locally and I have been bending his ear about how wonderful it is!). He was a little sceptical when he saw the pictures of the tasting menu because he "loves his food" (in quantity that would sink most). Well, what can I say except...a lovely welcome at reception, quickly seated and drinks ordered, thanks to the wonderfully attentive waiting staff (Josh, is a star and really knowledgeable of the menu). The amuse bouche. trio - duck liver twiglet, Arbroath smokie gougeres and the trout/apple tartlet were an absolute explosion of flavour - and a taster if things to come. The treacle bannock was served with an onion butter and a plain butter topped with Isle of Skye salt (amazing stuff) and very moreish. (at this point hubby's eye's lit up and he became enthusiastic!). I had the Highland Beef for my main, he had the Halibut and mussels and both were exceptional and beautifully presented. The Lemon cheesecake (in a chocolate coating) with blackcurrant sorbet was just delicious and a perfect, not too sweet or heavy, way to end the meal. I didn't take pics (unfortunately) but they do have some of the dishes on their Facebook and instagram pages. Tasting menus of this quality will never be cheaper but this was absolutely worth every penny. 3 AA rosettes is really an under estimate of Chef Kelly and the teams abilities! Thank you for a memorable evening and we will most definitely be back. P.s - I've made the bannock bread from the recipe given - it's amazing :)

It’s hard to fully explain how much of a pleasure our meal was this evening. My wife and I have spent top dollar on meals in the past and this rivals anything we’ve ever experienced at about a third of the cost of the prime US restaurants. They seamlessly catered to my wife’s need for gluten free and there was no compromise in quality. The simplest way to sum this all up is to strongly urge anyone who is even remotely close to this area to make the drive and experience it for yourself. I can assure you that you’ll be glad you did and make the same recommendation to others. Also, do the full 8 course meal, you’ll love it!

Best New Year's Eve Ever!!! We were staying in nearby accommodation and wanted to celebrate Hogmanay in style. We were NOT disappointed! It was rather pricey at £120 per head, but the reviews were excellent and we thought we'd risk it. SO pleased we did! It was worth every single penny! It was a Hogmanay Special with a Peaky Blinders theme. From the moment we arrived at 6.30 p.m. we were welcomed with exquisite canapes and delicious cocktails. The fun started straight away with professionally run casino tables - the dealers were hilarious and it was great entertainment. Then we were called through to the main dining area, where the large circular tables were beautifully decorated, and we were treated to a special themed gift basket. The service just got better and better, and the food was absolutely outstanding! We could not fault a single thing. There was a traditional Ceilidh set up after dinner. The lovely guy in charge encouraged us all to have a go, and much hilarity ensued!! This got us all very relaxed, and we made lots of new friends throughout the evening. The atmosphere by midnight was electric, and it was indeed a perfect way to see in the New Decade! We were led outside for the fireworks soon after midnight, and I have to say, they were absolutely incredible!!! We were in a party of six, but if felt like we were celebrating with dozens of friends. It was an incredible night. I have no hesitation in highly recommending The Lovat, and we plan to return.

Booked this restaurant a couple of days before heading to Fort Augustus for a family mid-term break, (based on the good reviews on Tripadvisor.) If you're after standard fare, big portions etc then this may not be the place for you, but if you like fine dining, then look no further. Everything we had was superb, from the home made bread and smoked tomato butter, the charred mackerel starter, the venison mains (my wife had the lamb) and the delicious deserts. The children were also very well catered for and we all agreed on the exceptional quality of the meal. The chefs here are truly gifted and the overall ambiance of the place and the friendly laid back nature of the waiting staff make for an excellent experience all round. Would be first place on my list if back in the Fort Augustus area.

We have been Fort Augustus for a few days and tried a few different places to eat all of which have been good...the Lovat Brasserie was excellent and by far the best place we have eaten.The Brasserie has simply, clean modern decor with a warm welcome on arrival.The table was dressed with "real napkins" and water. The food menu has only a few dishes to choose from but all looked great. The drinks menu was vast!We had 4 different starters all of which were impeccably presented. I enjoyed throughly the crab Canelloni but all other starters were equally well received.I had the venison for main which was served pink and very tender. We had a side of curried cauliflower which was probably needed as portion sizes are not huge.Our overall bill was increased due to the various bottles of wine and glasses of gin as you will see from the attached copy of our bill.It isn't cheap but worth every penny we paid. If you only go to one restaurant in Fort Augustus make sure it's The Lovat.If we had had this food in a top London restaurant we would have been delighted and probably have paid twice as much.

The staff couldn't do enough to make us and our dog comfortable! The food is 5 star and being able to take the dog to such a place is a real unique bonus!

Unsere Vermieter hatten uns das Restaurant empfohlen. Wir waren absolut begeistert von der Freundlichkeit der Angestellten, dem Ambiente und natürlich dem Essen. Schon bei der Reservierung des Tisches wurde ich bezüglich Allergien gefragt, die dann auch beim Essen berücksichtigt wurde. Wir hatten Lamm und Wild - beides war vom Feinsten incl. dem frischen knackigen Gemüse. Wer gerne gehobene Küche mag, der kommt hier absolut auf seine Kosten. Absolut empfehlenswert.

We went here for our anniversary and the food was amazing. Expensive but so worth it for a splurge dinner. We tried a number of things and they were all delicious. I would recommend here if you are after a special dinner.

My daughter and I have just spent a lovely birthday evening in the Brasserie. The food was wonderful and beautifully presented. Thank you to a creative and talented chef and to the staff, especially Thomas, who all made our special evening perfect.

This restaurant located in the hotel near the Loch Ness lake. We visited this place for two times for dinner and three times for breakfast. In my opinion this is a Michelin star restaurant. Very tasty food, delicious desserts, huge selection of gin and vine. I was not expected high level restaurant were located in this small city.

Such a hidden gem. Excellent food, high level of presentation, backed up by wonderful taste. Couldn’t recommend it more. The three of us ate here for a good, though premium price (£25 per main, around £8 for dessert). It’s expensive, but very much worth it. Even our slightly fussy daughter enjoyed it. She chose the children’s menu which had a decent range of less adventurous, but still excellent (and generously portioned) food for kids who have pretty limited taste like ours! The mains were superb, but the desserts were another level. Genuinely fantastic and though we loved the level of service, if they cranked it up to be a bit more attentive they’d surely be looking at Michelin star status. The food was beautiful and each course had a level of surprise that elevated the whole experience.This is a wonderful restaurant that deserves a lot more attention, so get there before it does. Absolutely incredible.

We have been coming to this restaurant 2 or 3 times a year for the last 5 years and it has improved year on year!It’s now what I consider to be fine dining. The Venison was wonderful, equal to a Michelin starred restaurant we are at recently in London.The Lemon Cheescake was a wonderful revelation.We shall be back again next year and look forward to it.

We booked in for dinner during our stay in Fort Augustus, myself, my wife and 10 year old son. The staff were delightful and welcoming, and the dining room understated, but very stylish, really to our taste. And so to the food .......................... wow ! we were all totally blown away by all of the dishes we had, if you had told me before this meal that my 10 year old son would rave about lentils and carrots I would have called you crazy, but rave he did. Each dish was so beautifully crafted and well thought out, presentation was exceptional as were the flavours of all 3 courses. Service was excellent, wines and coffee all top notch, I could recommend this restaurant to anyone, the chef has a really great talent

Auf jeden Fall tut man alles dafür, von der Essens- und Weinberatung über den sehr freundlichen Service bis hin zum Erlebnis Essen. Ausgezeichnet, auch die Weine. Nicht preisgünstig, aber durchaus ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

We came for breakfast just after it had ended. The lovely staff accommodated is nonetheless, setting us up in the drawing room and preparing a delightful breakfast and coffee. The eggs were yummy, the bacon delicious and the black pudding the best we have had. By far the best part, though, was the warm, wonderful people! Thank you for everything Thomas!

Eating in hotel restaurants is usually very disappointing. I’m pleased to say this was quite the opposite. The chef is obviously highly trained and the food was delicious. The servers were very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Toc toc? Is there a Guide Michelin's advisor over there?? This restaurant is just amazing ! We were 4, we have tried different dishes, everything was just perfect. A friendly and professional staff was there to complete the wonderful experience. They largely deserve one star. Highly recommended.Thank you all.

The dinner in the restaurant is outstanding. Quality and creativity on the plate. All fresh products and well selected ! One of the waiter serving the food is explaining what’s being served in such a nice way, that tasting and eating becomes a real pleasure.We recommend you to have the “Snickers” as a desert !The bar is very complete and bartender knows his job !

We ate at the brasserie last night and it was the best meal we’ve had in the U.K. and we’ve been here for a month. Thelamb was a wonderful surprise, 5 star presentation and taste. The “snickers” dessert was an absolute work of art. Thomas, our waiter, was efficient and helpful, as were the girls. It was our last night in Fort Augustus or we would be back there again tonight.

What a fantastic range of pies. We tried a few varieties in our two weeks in the area and all were lovely. The outside seating area is also great if you’re lucky enough to find a free table. We will definitely be back and may be buying same of their mail order pies in the meantime!
