Vega sandwich wasn't with fresh grilled vegetables. Tasted all the same. Toilets were very very dirty. Service oké. Not a second time.

Popped into the Old Deli while visiting Fort William. It was welcoming and relaxing. We had the ham and cheese croquettes monsiuer which was really nice and good value. Would recommend waiting for a table they do get busy but well worth the wait

A lovely welcoming and relaxing cafe, beautifully clean and with friendly and helpful staff. We called in for coffee and cakes. All excellent standard. People near by had ordered meals, which looked plentiful and tasty. Definitely recommend a visit here.

Visited here twice on my stay in Fort William and both times had excellent customer service from all the staff. There is a wide choice on the menu and also an excellent variety of cakes and bakes,which were different each visit. The cafe was very clean ,well presented and in prominent position in the town. My food was delicious and very well presented

We came twice on our short trip nearby- on the Monday it was the only place open that allowed dogs, and on the Tuesday because we liked it so much the day before! We had breakfast both days and were pleased they offered gluten free options! A great variety of gluten free and vegan cakes on offer too. The coffee was lovely and was what drew us back the next day. It was clearly popular as all tables were full both times! Thanks again and if we are ever in this area we would come back :)

Been here a couple of times for coffee, both times absolutely packed and had to wait for a seat . Order at the counter then waitress brings the coffee ( eventually !)

In short- No atmosphere/ basic tasteless food/ rude owner. The owner is extremely rude and came to our table to basically scold us for not being impressed by the terribly tasteless and dry sandwich we had been served. It was an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere and you can tell the staff are frightened of the owner. No background music/radio playing for a bit of ambience. It’s a shame really as the high street is dying and this looked to be one of the very few decent places to go. I guess they survive on passing trade, however we do go this way regularly for long weekends and will not be passing through here again. Absolute vibe killer and the food is to be honest extremely basic and tasteless. The coffee was okay. Bread was dry and the cheese slice looked plastic. Garnish and everything overall was lacking. Salad definitely unwashed and out of a bag. Just no effort and not worth the money at all. I’ve attached a pic of my sandwich then the “kids” sandwich. Apparently the owner was insulted as it’s “ good quality bread” . No other comments regarding everything else. Just that she stands by this bread! Lol wouldn’t recommend. (I will say there were only 3 tables in at the time and no one returned to the table to ask if the food was okay. The owner really doesn’t like feedback and I asked her not to be so rude and upset as everyone doesn’t have the same opinion and that’s fine. The only answer she had was a shriek to say “get that dog off the table! when she noticed there was a puppy in a small bag beside my baby who had his little paws on the edge of the table.) I have been to many places were the food wasn’t great but the owners and staff were lovely and that makes such a difference and always makes you go back. It’s a shame when the owner has completely the wrong attitude for this kind of business and in turn leads to staff having the same manner when dealing with customers.

Looked like they hadn't been open long as it looked as if there were some repairs going on. We were there just before lunch and got a table easily, but after a wee while it was full. The coffee was nice and I enjoyed a gluten free bacon sandwich. Staff were nice and friendly.

Happy to find somewhere open for food and enthused to see GF cake options...however nearly died when the bill of over £18 came for 2 x takeaway coffees and two 'filled roll' things. GF bread available which was excellent but not what we'd call accessible in terms of cost. Stung for having a health condition. Lovely interior and staff kind but really...cost a bit bonkers.

We went here twice for lunch it was that good The sandwiches were made to order and the second time we had a basket of chips which were equally delicious. The service was second to none If you are in the area I would highly recommend you try it

Do not visit if you want a quick snack. There's nothing fast about the service. Glacial is closer to the mark. Food is good, but you have probably eaten off an arm before it arrives. Having visited several times in the last year this was not an isolated incident today.

Amazing food (I had the Honey mustard chicken salad, husband had bacon brie & cranberry panini). Excellent value, beautiful surroundings and mega friendly helpful staff. I'm gluten intolerant and they were very helpful with choices.

My husband and I ate lunch here recently while on vacation. We were seated quickly and placed our order T the counter. Our food came quickly and the soup, sandwiches & fries/chips were delicious. Very yummy and we both like our toasties. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about their desserts. The cream scone was tasteless and packy. The Victoria sponge cake was forgettable and a tad dry. I give them 3 stars but can’t recommend the pastries behind the counter.

A tasty Scottish Breakfast and it was a very popular spot too! They were rushed off their feet, poor things, but told us in advance it would be a little while for food and were very friendly and apologetic and we were very happy to wait. I would definitely return as it was nice.

Ristorante molto carino e curato, si distingue da tutti gli altri di Fort William. Abbiamo assaggiato l'haggis nella versione vegetariana e tradizionale, entrambe molto buone. Come piatto principale abbiamo preso due bistecche e due panini, uno con il pollo ed uno con hamburger di selvaggina. Nota da sapere: non vendono alcolici, ma si possono portare da casa. Personale molto gentile e disponibile, consigliato!

We stumbled across the The Old Deli having arrived in Fort William after walking the West Highland Way. We were lucky to get a table as it was otherwise fully booked and we saw others get turned away. The Old Deli is a coffee shop that serves food in the evening and has a relaxed, stylish and welcoming vibe. They do not have an alcohol licence but are happy for byob which worked perfectly for us! The food was delicious - we shared a bruschetta, then had quinoa cakes/ monkfish scampi for mains - these were crispy in delicious batter. Followed by one of the best lemon tarts ever! We loved the Old Deli so much we returned for coffee the next day and of course found a huge selection of teas/milk alternatives. We were only disappointed we didn’t get to try the cakes. A lovey gem in Fort William (and they allow dogs!).

Nourriture correcte, service expectable, désagréables et malpoli. Erreur sur la commande donc un des plats à été servi 20 minutes après et quand au bout de 15 minutes on demande on en est le plat on se fait engueuler…

Had our me meal which was ok, nothing special. Restaurant almost empty, just served a cocktail after our meal. We were told that that we had 20 mins to finish our drinks. Two minutes later the waitress was over with a card reader demanding payment. Staff were not friendly. Been a few times, the staff have always demanded the table after a drink has been served. We will not go back

Seems it's changed a bit since the last reviews, it's now some sort of donation-driven self-serve canteen. There were cakes, teas, coffees, and that sort of thing. As far as I could see it was just take what you want and pay what you can. A lot of locals and regulars there happy to chat, an interesting and friendly bunch for sure. Can recommend stopping by if you're in the area!! Be warned: no fish and chips here which is what got me there in the first place! But plenty of other joints for that in the vicinity, no harm done
