The Laroch Bar & Bistro in Highland

The Laroch restaurant came highly recommended to us and we were not disappointed. The food was simply outstanding and the relaxed atmosphere made for a perfect dinner date. All of the front of house staff were brilliant; extremely friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. In particular, our server on the night, Mikey, could not have been more pleasant, attentive, and helpful - he made the whole experience a joy. We’ll definitely be back!!

Food was excellent, completely exceeded our expectations. Genuinely some of the tastiest venison I have enjoyed in recent years. Staff all wonderfully attentive and friendly. Our only criticism is the lighting in the restaurant, the blue light LED bulbs are oppressively clinical, it gives the venue a cold feel which is a great shame given the quality of the food.

Just thought I would give this little known pub a review. Food and atmosphere was top notch in a small village in Glencoe highly recommended for a night out where there isn't much around but great pub and staff.

Great quality dinner. Lovely warm fuzzy atmosphere! Good pub grub. Each course was tasty. The whole group finished their plates. Desserts were really nice too. Best place in town for a great quality meal that’s a worthy fair price. Everywhere else in the area is overpriced

Enjoyed a lovely lunch on a quiet Wednesday. Was the first person in the place so it was quiet, but got a lovely warm welcome from the lady behind the bar. The menu was exactly as described online so I enjoyed black pudding Bon Bons with a delicious whisky sauce and then a very tender piece of slow cooked beef, again with a lovely sauce. All in all a lovely lunch made better by the smiley lady serving.

We had an amazing 3 courses. The meal was one of our best on our trip to the highlands. Beautifully cooked venison and Lamb and an amazing cheese board. We made a booking to ensure we got a table and I’m so glad we did.

Had booked here as I heard there was a Michelin skilled chef working the kitchen. I ordered the scallops starter. Not really worth the price, scallops were cooked ok, served with a few very finely sliced bits of orange, some garden leaves and nuts, that’s all. In my cooking opinion it was a lazy way to serve such an amazing piece of meat, didn’t compliment the dish at all. I had the blade of beef for main course, the beef was cooked perfect, nice creamy mash and decent veg’s to go with it. It’s pub grub at best and not bad pub grub at that. Taking the information about a Michelin experienced chef working there, off the website would have lowered my expectations and probably others as well. There’s nothing Michelin about it at all. Service was ok, waitresses were a bit slow in accommodating but accommodated for our needs none the less.

We had booked in for a bar lunch on a March Saturday. Walked in to find it just about empty, the staff were sat at tables in the bar. We ordered some drinks and took a seat at the allocated table. Menu looked great with mains and specials. Unfortunately the description Norte no resemblance to the actual stuff served. For example the Smoked Salmon special was 2 shop bought slices of white sliced bread covered in a cheap margarine and some tasteless/on the turn Salmon on layered on top. The staff had zero personality and just shrugged their shoulders when we dared to complain. We paid and left. Will never be back, it’s clearly too easy trade with passing tourists.

Great pub meal was delicious, excellent service , good value. we arrived on holiday on the Sunday unfortunate the pub was closed until Wednesday. But I'm glad we went back, the food was really excellent they must have a good chef . one of the best meals i have had for a long time. and the service was excellent too

Had a great bar lunch whilst stopping on way up to Fort William. We had featherblade of beef with root vegetables and potatoes which was delicious, also excellent value for money. The 2 waitresses were friendly and helpful.

Outstanding food! So reasonably priced and the food itself was memorable for many years to come. I will be making this restaurant a “must return”

We rang ahead and booked a table - unless we’d booked I don’t think we’d have got a table - they were having to turn lots of people away and we can understand why! The food was absolutely a-m-a-z-i-n-g! The service was good too. My husband had the mussels as a starter and I had smoked haddock with a soufflé - both dishes were very nice indeed. As mains we had Thai Green Curry and a sirloin steak - again both dishes were delicious and cooked well. I highly recommend Laroch Restaurant and Bar - just make sure you book your table beforehand.

Freundlicher, aber überforderter Service. Hauptgang kommt vor den erstbestellten Getränken. Gemüse Curry ist viel zu scharf. Das Lamm mit Gratin dagegen völlig ungewürzt.

Food for the 3 other adults was good, but my "special" venison was terrible - very overcooked, despite ordering medium-rare. Unfortunately we had been told that the table would have to be vacated by 7:30, 20 mins after the food arrived, so no time to return it. No refund on bill after complaining. Very poor service.

We had the best meal of our stay in the area at this restaurant. Every dish on the table was superb, and the place has a very homely and friendly atmosphere. I wish we had gone there sooner!!

Absolutely wonderful. Food fantastic. Staff so attentive. Would recommend a visit. Will definitely be back Frances and David Broomhill Glasgow

Absolutely gorgeous food. The best pork belly I’ve ever had. Desserts were lovely. Friendly service. Not open every day in Winter but well worth a visit when it’s open. Good range of whisky and gins. Nice wine. We will return!

We had a really excellent meal which suited both adults and children. The food was interesting and beautifully cooked and presented. I can recommend it. The prices were reasonable

Booked this in the week before nice and easy. Absolutely lovely restaurant and the food was really really good! You could tell the waitresses were young and inexperienced but it didn’t matter at all, were very helpful when asked. Would love to go back when we’re nearby again.

We made a reservation for this busy place and we had one of the best meals we had in Scotland here.

Excellent food, great ambience and served by a terrific young team. Special mention to Mikey for making it all go round.

Great place for a drink and something to eat, Thoroughly enjoyed my time there whether it be just for casual drinks or a formal meal, Staff very friendly, locals very good for a chat, Will be back with the dog

Great restaurant and wonderful food. A wee gem not to be missed. Highly recommend to anyone in the seas or passing through

We were staying for two nights in Ballachulish & heard this was the place to go, & our B & B booked us in. The staff who were mostly young people were excellent & the food too was excellent. We booked & returned the following night where the service & food was equally as good. Considering restaurant prices have increased of late they were very reasonable in price a must to go if you are in Ballachulish

We were in Ballachulish two nights and liked this place so much we had dinner there twice. Our best two meals in Scotland. I wouldn't give it high points for ambiance, but wow, the food is excellent. Favorites were the goat cheese bon bons and the sea bass. The prices are incrediby reasonable.

Make a reservation in advance during tourist season. The food was very good. We enjoyed the sea bass and pork meatballs with penne pasta. However, the staff is not attentive, so you get their attention to place your order and be patient.

Fantastic place. Found by accident when travelling through. Staff we excellent and friendly. The food was amazing! SO tasty and very well cooked..We only had burgers but hands down the best burger I have had in years. Highly recommend the haggis burger! Only sad we don't live closer to try more off the menu!

I had two starters as a main: the goats cheese Bon Bon and the twice baked haddock soufflé- which were both very nice. My husband had the venison burger, which in itself was nice. He did ask for extra melted cheese - which didn’t come - and the chips were a bit poor and clearly frozen chips. The girl at the bar took it off the bill no problem though 😺 The staff were lovely and the overall atmosphere was nice (with locals playing dominoes in the bar area). Perhaps he should have gone for the venison steak which the table next door had and the dauphinois potatoes looked very tasty indeed (their dog couldn’t take their eyes off it!)

Popped in and asked the question "do you do take away?" The answer was yes, but only basic food such as Burger and chips and fish and chips. Friend ordered a burger and chips for £8.50. Thought that was reasonable, not main menu price but obviously because it was a take away. So I ordered a kids cheese burger and chips for my daughter and a fish and chips for me, along with a bottle of water and can of Fanta... £25.35. Asked twice if I had been overcharged. No, I wasn't, the fish and chips was £15.95!!! Absolute rip off! I asked why so expensive and they said it was because they don't do take away food! Staff just shrugged their shoulders and said sorry, we're not interested in rectifying. Absolutely not value for money.

Lovely old whitewashed rooms and the best food. Visited 2 nights, both times food and service excellent. Very busy so booking is a must.

We had a very enjoyable meal at the Laroch which consisted of 2 Chicken ballotine, 1 Venison and 1 Sea bass. All very well presented and delicious. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Is there anything worse than placing your order and seeing other later tables served several courses? Eventually realised we must have been overlooked and OK meal arrived in 10 minutes. Would have thought person who took the order should check through to fulfilment? Disappointed,won’t be back.

We were in the area for one night, travelling slowly from Loch Lomond up to Skye. After taking in breathtaking views and clean air for the afternoon, we stumbled in to the Laroch restaurant just before 6pm on the off chance there'd be a table. We were welcomed in, given a restaurant table, orders were taken in an attentive but pleasantly unhurried fashion, and good recommendations were given on food and local beers. We shared the game terrine (lovely) and both plumped for venison haunch from the specials board (powerful, deliciously cooked, beautifully paired with sauce and accompanying dauphinoise and apple). Afterwards we sauntered into the bar for a couple of recommended whiskies, where many locals were eating, chatting and enjoying their evening pints. Seeing locals at the bar is a cracking telltale sign, and in this case an accurate reflection of the staff, the food, the drink and the entire venue. We had a tip top evening. And the young team of staff were all exemplary, warm and professional in all that they did. Thanks for having us, team!

This is an oasis of superb food and a real find. The welcome was friendly, the food was excellent and the service was professional. Highly recommended.

We popped in here fora drink on a Sunday afternoon and decided we’d like to have dinner there later so we booked a table and we are so glad we did! Not only was the food outstanding and the service very friendly and professional but while we were eating lots of people came in looking for a table but they were fully booked. It seems we got the last table and would most likely have missed out ourselves if we hadn’t been in earlier in the day. Back to the food, I had the goat’s cheese bon bon and my wife had the haggis bon bons to start, both were equally delicious. For main course we went for the meatballs with pasta and the venison. These are meals we have on a fairly regular basis in other restaurants. These though we’re on a different level. Absolutely sublime! I would highly recommend a visit here if you’re in the area but remember, don’t be disappointed, book first!

The BEST restaurant we’ve been to! If you’re in the area it’s a MUST visit! Will 200% be back! Thank you

Excellent quality ingredients used for a lovely meal. The outside of the building on the beer garden side could do with being painted or tided up a bit to reflect the quality of food on offer, and maybe a sign out on the main road...

We had the haggis bonbons for starters, which were exceptionally good. We then had the lamb for mains. Presentation was good, Potato , greens nice but the lamb was inedible. Couldn’t even cut it never mind eat it (no joke my partner, said it hurt...

Every course was amazing, each dish delicious. We all enjoyed the food, the goats' cheese and haggis bon bons for starter. Burgers and gnocchi for mains, see photos, the puddings were so good they were gone before I got pictures 😄 Staff were really nice,...

Poor. When the chef ventures out to the bar to "eyeball" the man who dares to criticise his steak, and then disappears back into the kitchen without speaking! No deductions, no apologies, nothing! Paid our bill, wont ever be back.

Pleasantly surprised by the fine dinner at this Highland village. We enjoyed entrees of beef, chicken and pork belly. All were delicious and well prepared. I particularly liked the braised pork belly and black pudding with scallops and vegetables. The wait staff appeared to be...

This restaurant was opposite our B and B and the hosts recommended we eat there. It ended up being our favourite meal of our holiday. The food is amazing and all of us enjoyed our meals. We also loved the cider on tap!

Oh my goodness. The waitress was so welcoming. She was local to the community. The food was beyond delicious. It was by far the best meal we had so far on our trip. Five stars!!!!

C’est vraiment dommage la cuisine est très bonne mais le personnel est à la limite du désagréable et n’as aucune...

This restaurant is in a lovely little village in the Scottish Highlands. We walked here from the B&B where we were staying, just a couple blocks walk. The menu was the most interesting one we had seen on our trip, and the food was delicious.

Didn't have the best experience here but I will go with a 3 star. I had a haddock soufflé based on a photo I had seen here on TripAdvisor and it looked completely different. The sauce was like water. The fish and chips had a...

So I went here last night to party with the locals, and I think I came away with a cousin-husband! Seriously, it's like the town adopted me! This place is the real deal. Like Cheers on steroids. If you're traveling solo, you can NOT fail...

Multippel things wrong with the order. Coffe took about 25 min to make, and had no to go cups so we had to leave it behind. Would not recomend if in a hurry.

So enjoyed our experience, food was delicious and nice service. Found it a little difficult to fine but worth the effort.

Very nice pub with great food I had the highlander burger while visiting and really enjoyed it with a good selection of ales and very friends and helpful bar staff. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the local area for a meal or just...

Really excellent food, made from scratch. Super fresh seafood with unusual and delightful pairings. The best green chili chicken curry I’ve ever tasted. Mushroom soup was fantastic. Loved the crème brûlée. Great service as well.

Stunning place to eat while walking in the area. We are here 2 nights and the food and service were brilliant. Would highly recommend.

Although we stayed in Glencoe we preferred to eat in 4his restaurant. Delicious food, very polite stuff, reasonable prices! We would recommend it without any hesitation!

We called in without a booking. Made very welcome. Comfortable table. Friendly waitress. Outstanding meal. Well priced. Strongly recommended.

Unfortunately it was the worst experience we have had The service was terrible. The food was quite tasty but certainly would not give it 5 stars

Sadly not a great meal, steak was well rather than the requested rare, burger was well over cooked, salmon was OK, but only lukewarm. Service was only OK. Sadly we won't be back or recommend to the guests of our local rental accommodation.

Booked for dinner. Food was good . Service was awful. We both booked the same for a main course . My husband got his , mine dinner came 20 minutes after his . Once finished our mains , it took the staff ages to come...

Booked here for a nice meal with our dog. As such we sat in the bar. There was a group of locals in swearing and having completely inappropriate conversation. One of the bar staff obviously knew them as they gave one of them a kiss....

Great food. Really enjoyed our visit, accompanied by our dog. Had the haggis bon bons, good sized portion, sauce amazing. The salmon and prawn starter really good as well. The roast venison was outstanding, our dog really enjoyed a taste of this. The sirloin steak...

Popped for an evening meal to be met with Michelin star quality food. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food!

Booked dinner here for our 2nd night while staying at the nearby Isles of Glencoe. Wise choice! Due to late booking, we dined in the bar area instead of the main restaurant. This wasn't an issue as bar was cosy, atmospheric and welcoming. Starters of...

Amazing food and friendly staff made our visit just perfect and we could have our dog with us by eating in the bar. The menu was extensive (especially impressive for low season in Feb) with lots of locally sourced choices. So good we ate here...

Worst steak I’ve ever come across!! Myself and partner had to send back as it was not cooked properly, the remake was just as bad if not worse supposed to be 8oz ribeye was the worst quality of meat I’ve seen. Staff were rude and...

Superb food. Roast venison delicious. Friendly and relaxed ambience. If you are in the area dint miss this experience

Not a great experience. 3 reasonable meals but the 4th, a ribeye steak was the worst steak I have ever had. Staff full of apologies and did not charge for the meal. However evening completely spoilt

Wonderful experience at Laroch Restaurant & Bar, Ballachulish. After a few planes and a bus trip north I popped into the pub mid afternoon and the kind server fit me in with a reservation for one for 615 pm. The Cod dish with seasonal veggies...

We pop into the Laroch bar area with our dog whenever we are in the Glencoe area, the food is always superb. The goats cheese bon bons, amazing local grouse dish and desserts were brilliant on this trip.

Can't rate highly enough. High quality food, very friendly staff, happy atmosphere and speedy service. Had the 6oz grilled steak burger which is probably one of the best burgers I've had. The chips and onion rings were perfect too. You'd be daft not to visit...

I don't often feel the need to leave a review but felt the need to share my experience at the Laroch with other potential visitors. The food was fine - starters tasted great and presentation was brilliant, the mains were below expectations (burgers not as...

We visited The Laroch twice whilst were in Glencoe and were not disappointed! Firstly, you need to book if you want to eat here in the evening as they are very busy. It's also a super tough time for hospitality with many places struggling with...

Appearances can be deceptive. From the outside this looks like any local pub but the food is far from your standard pub fare. The menu is extensive and there are plenty of local choices as well as the usual pub items to select from. Haggis...

Went here on a Sunday. Got there at 5:15, but it was fully booked for the night with reservations. They have a dining room, bar, and outdoor seating. After waiting ten minutes to speak with a bartender who was busy cleaning the bar top, was...

Greeted by an unpleasant member of staff who didn’t seem to have any time to deal with us. Eventually showed us to our table which was incredibly sticky. Once we had been given menus and went up to order this appeared to be too much...

prijs kwaliteit is dit een zeer goed restaurant. In een gezellige sfeer kan men hier zeer goed eten.

Very nice open sandwiches and haggis bonbons. Doesn’t look anything special from the outside, but great food and friendly service.

Myself and my wife popped in on the off chance when we were having a west coast tour as everyone was booked solid. When we arrived they just managed to get us a table. Meal was lovely and the staff were absolutely flat out but...

Visited on Friday night .Party of 3 had table in the bar section as restaurant area was full.Service was quick and friendly with daily specials and soups information given without need for asking.Food was superb and throughly enjoyed by all .

Whenever my family come to Ballachulish we book this restaurant as the food and service is usually second to none. However, our most recent visit has left us never wanting to step foot there anymore. There were many things that went wrong in our most...

Haggis Bon Bon was lovely starter, and we split a burger (ate on the pub side.) Restaurant was full the night we walked in.

Waited months to visit this supposedly Michelin star restaurant after being recommended by family who had eaten here 4 times previous and highly recommended..Here goes… *Table was booked for the wrong day(restaurant closed) even tho booked in advance and confirmed! No apology for the mix...

We went here with a family group of six people. Extensive menu and all of the meals were excellent! The staff were friendly and very attentive! We had such a lovely evening!

We thoroughly enjoyed our starter of mussels, so tasty! Our food was beautifully presented. The menu had something for everyone in our group, a nice variety of option- fish, beef, burgers, vegetable risotto- and each was well prepared. Such lovely decor and excellent service too!

We had an excellent dinner here after a long and stressful drive from Mull (including getting a serious flat tire on the way!). We especially loved the mozzarella and tomato salad and the grilled sea bass. The servers were lovely. Highly recommend.

Me and my partner came here for food on a Saturday, it’s not a big restaurant maybe holds 36 people. But it’s a nice clean place and cosy setting, amazing views! The food was amazing and so was dessert.. some of the best food I’ve...

Wow was not expecting the food we had tonight! Blown away with quality of food. Taste, presentation absolutely amazing. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Super food at Laroch; Haggis Bon Bon’s very good indeed. Service was also very good. Only downside we thought was the decor needed updating dark red walls and dark wood bar just created quite a dreary feel (I guess it didn’t help as it was...

Great menu choices - something for everyone. Great food quality and prices. Great service from local staff. I would seek out again. Note was closed Mon & Tue when I was in the area.
