The Rendezvous Cafe in Highland

Overpriced and greasy breakfast, coffee wasn’t great either. We both left smelling of fried foods as there’s next to no ventilation

Fantastic breakfast after getting off the train All fresh, tasty and delicious! Lovely cosy atmosphere and friendly staff.

I found that inverness is a hit and miss when it comes to food. The concept here is really fun, with old movies playing on screen and decor. The front of house guys were friendly. But, that's kind of where it stops. I was expecting some more fun with the menu names or items on the table that had movie theme, but nothing more. I can't fault the quality of the salmon and avocado, but a chef that sends out overdone poached eggs, that has to be called out. I could tell before I broke the egg it was overdone. I don't mind if chef had said, food delayed due to a hitch in eggs, but don't send them out. Fair due, they took it off the bill, but toast and salmon and avocado doesn't quite hit it. I wouldn't return. It wasn't cheap, so need the food to be dpoy on.

Stunning breakfast! We were a family of 8 that arrived early on a Sunday morning. The staff are so friendly and the menu is great. Kids had delicious pancakes, some had full Scottish breakfasts and others had a breakfast rolls. Highly, highly recommend

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Very popular so you may need to prepare for a wait to get seated. For two good sized breakfasts and cappuccinos we paid less than £40 inc tip

Really lovely! Good food, great service. We loved the woman that ran the place, very cool spirit and funny! The music was also great btw. Had me using my Shazam a couple of times!

Terrible servicio supongo que sucedió porque pedí el pan de huevo salado, ya que había 2 tipos en el menú, pero me dijeron por camarera que no había, el pan de huevo era solo pan de huevo aparentemente. Después de 40 minutos, nuestra comida se puso en el pase y esperamos otros 15 minutos mientras la camarera ordenaba los estantes y atendía a otros clientes. Solo cuando el pase se llenaba con el siguiente pedido, ella se acercó para preguntar si nuestro pedido estaba listo. Le dijeron que lo era, pero aún encontró algunos estantes más que ordenar antes de traerlo. Nuestra comida era fresca después de haber reposado tanto tiempo y mi pan de huevo se cubrió con un polvo fácilmente opcional de azúcar glas! No hicimos un escándalo, fue al final de unos días increíblemente encantadores de buena comida y servicio en otros lugares y diversión celebrando el cumpleaños de nuestros compañeros. Nos reímos del desayuno de cumpleaños más horrible de la historia y nunca volveríamos. Lástima porque la música era buena y la comida hubiera sido encantadora si hubiera llegado caliente y sin azúcar glas.

Nice quaint place great staff food great prices very good .

We didn't eat, the coffee was very good. Good friendly service. Unfortunately, the whole restaurant smells like burnt oil... And loud, blaring music...

Je me suis régalé d'un délicieux petit déjeuner écossais en version végé ! L'endroit est très sympathique avec un thème cinéma qui divertit, et la nourriture est très bonne, faite en direct et sous nos yeux (avec les odeurs qui chatouillent les narines en même temps !)

I’m deeply disappointed with my experience at Rendezvous Cafe. Six of us entered while the entire cafe was empty, yet the server told us there was no seating for six people. It felt blatantly discriminatory and unwelcoming. This experience completely ruined what was meant to be a memorable visit to Scotland. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who values respect and fairness.

Wow for real we was 6 friends want it to have a breakfast we was just entered guy was like we don’t have a space in the place for 6 people i was like ok we can sit separate but he was clearly said to us no racist because we was not English avoid that place if u are coming outside the Scotland.

This place is racist, guy in the restaurant told us leave as soon as we enter, we were 6 people. They had plenty of place for us to sit in, instead they told us we don’t have space for you guys. They didn’t even give us an option if we want to sit in group of 3 and 3 or 4 and 2. It was straight no just cause of our faith. Really ungrateful and disgusting behaviour by the staff

We only had cappuccinos, which were fine. The place wasn't full. The service is friendly but very, very slow. Quite strong disturbing odours of burning oil filled the place. Loud kind of pop/rock music played. It wasn't a relaxed and good experience at all. I would not recommend the Rendez Vous Cafe.

Excellent service very quick delivery food was still hot coffee was lovely, delivery girl was lovely.I will be ordering again thank you for your service.

We found the place on our 1st visit to Inverness in the Summer, we traveled to Inverness for Xmas and went the nearly everyday for breakfast, food is freshly cooked and lovely as well as being good value for money

Food was amazing and staff very friendly! The cafe is very vibey, we loved it. Will recommend to friends and family and definitely will come again.

Delicious breakfast food and the coffee is second to none! Best coffee I've had in a long time!

Food is good, not cheap, ambience is unique and good. parking is difficult nearby. So you can park at the paid parking lots near bus stop and walk here . The place is tiny, so I see people with stroller and dogs were turned down.

We ordered an all day breakfast and a beef burger. The all day breakfast was really well made. The burger was a little burnt. The food is prepared to a high quality however expect long wait times. Also the kitchen and the dining area share a small space so during busy periods the seating area gets a bit smoky.

Went to go in with family and friends before could step foot inside was advised that they do not allow prams/push chairs. Staff never provided any option to us being able to come in. Not family friendly will not come back. Made to feel not welcome. If prams were not able to come in would this also mean wheel chairs or walking aids would be the same due to lack of space.

Ordered and waited for 30 mins food was mediocre. The owner was just rude. Overcharged for underwhelming service. Edit after that rubbish reply. I wasn't at a table i was actually a takeaway order. Nice to know someone else had a similar experience. This is definitely the owner replying as he can do no wrong and must be everyone else's fault. As I said the owner is super rude. I feel sorry for his staff.

Estimated wait time was 10 min. But had to wait for 45 min

I got given the wrong delivery and my drive did not come to the right address

Still amazing, 10/10, especially for full Scottish breakfast.

It was beautiful, it was good, it was plentiful and the sound was good. To respond to other comments, yes, you can smell the frying when you leave, but like in many establishments of this type, with a kitchen open to the room. Serving time is normal and the waiter was friendly and humorous. I recommend.

Really good breakfast with locally sourced meat and eggs. Great cure from a very hazy Saturday night

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, and the best Belgian waffles I have ever had. Vegetarian breakfast was also delicious, a welcome treat

Google says dog friendly. It isn't.

Had the full Scottish breakfast with Lorne sausage and a proper tattie scone which were the best that I had in Scotland. Only minor quibble is that a cuppa was an additional cost to what was already quite a pricey breakfast but all quality ingredients.

Food uncooked and staff swearing behind counter. Then when went to pay they ask you to tip. Wont be back gluten free or not. Very Poor

The foods great nice quality ingredients, for gods sake though get a decent extractor fan in the place. Came out stinking of food and eyes stinging.

Great place to stop for nice food.

La nourriture etait correcte, le service était agréable, en soit un bon endroit pour manger un petit déjeuner écossais. Cependant les hottes de ventilation n’ont pas l’air de fonctionner correctement…il y a de la fumé dans toute la salle et l’odeur est plus qu’omniprésente…

In the photos it looked a little better than it is. Not bad, but nothing surprising. The coffee is not very good.

Came here with my friend for lunch and wasn't disappointed as big portions with friendly , helpful staff. We both had sandwiches with chicken mayo , tuna with salad , crisps on side of the plate.

Tried here for the first time as was in town early and few places were open for breakfast, opted for the 7 item full Scottish breakfast with white toast and tea. Staff were friendly, efficient and the place had a nice vibe about it and decor. Food arrived quickly and was actually one of the best cooked breakfasts I've had for a while. As good as it was I don't know if I'd pay £12 for a 7 item cooked breakfast again, personally I think that's a bit steep for what it is, I'd have expected a glass of OJ included with it but that's just me. All in all, 10/10 and will be back again

Very nice, affordable breakfast. The staff is very friendly. The quantities are generous.

Lovely Café and verry caring service!

It is a cozy place, the food is delicious and the workers are kind and friendly.

Veggies beware - Wouldn’t recommend ordered a veggie breakfast and got a meaty one ! Luckily I noticed … didn’t bother them. Prices were a bit high for what you receive also.

Where do I start… how about the sticky seating. Not the best look on linen trousers. I liked the look of decor and menu online. Talk about being ‘catfished’. As for the toilet I’m not sure if the smell was cat or fish. Waiting staff were lovely, polite and I can’t fault them. I had a panini and it was cheap and uncooked. The mini side salad was a nice mouthful but the rubber crisps tasted like they came from a 90’s bargain bin! Church Street is old town Inverness in need of a new cafe.

Had an amazing breakfast and coffee. Great food, great atmosphere, Lovley staff. 👌

City centre location, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. I had a full Scottish breakfast, it was absolutely delicious. If you want to eat a delicious breakfast, then this is your place.

The menu looked promising, but unfortunately, we couldn't try anything as we waited in vain for the waiter, who was already serving guests that arrived after us. Due to the open kitchen, the smell of the food sticks to our clothes. We were looking forward to a full Scottish breakfast, but after waiting 15 minutes, we'll have to get it somewhere else.

Totally nice staff. Food was perfect. The sandwich is highly recommended. Also the milkshakes. Even got a sample of the Biscoff cream. For us it was the best café on our trip to Scotland.

An extra meeting for breakfast!!! Copious Excellent… To recommend without reservation. Very friendly team

Lovely cafe with fantastic grub!

The food was spectacular. We stumbled upon this cafe and wow! Everything was amazing from the friendly staff, to the cleanliness to the food. Would 1000% come again and definitely recommend people to stop here! Thank you for a great meal.

Food was alright, but we were practically kicked out after we finished our meals. Server was really rude and asked us to pay before we even finished our drinks!

Nice cosy place. Nice service. 👍👍👍👍👍

Delicious. Reasonably priced. Friendly and humorous service. 10/10

Smell from the fryers hangs in the air and stings your eyes as soon as you go in. We persevered though. Food portions were generous but breakfast items were on the greasy side. They offer 7 and 11 item breakfasts.. maybe a 4 or 5 item at a reasonable price point would be worth considering. Service was good. Courteous and friendly.

Logan was great and we enjoyed our time!

Super nice, super tasty food and really inexpensive. Update: A year later and they still have the best waffles I've ever tasted. Thanks to Logan, our super nice and courteous waitress. Thanks for the great breakfast! 😊

Delicious breakfast of french toast and fresh fruit with maple syrup x

Amazing bacon roll. Not the cheapest but good food and location.

I had two excellent breakfasts here. I chose it because it was close to my guest house. The porridge with seeds and berries was delicious. Service was quick even though they were busy. Matthew was a great server - friendly and efficient.

Super typical and hearty breakfast with very pleasant service! A very good address!

Excellent food and service. CBD tea was just what the doctor ordered. And the Beatles played here the day after I was born!

All great. You can pick and choose all food and they are really forthcoming.

Awesome food and great service from Matthew, highly recommend!

THE best Scottish breakfast in town. We tried many in Inverness and the Rendezvous beat them all. Our server JULIE made us feel right at home and helped us out with some tasty recommendations. Five stars for Rendezvous and five stars for JULIE!

Julie was really nice! She gave me a discount on the food! Also the scones are realllyy realllyyy good🤩👌🏻

Julie was an amazing hostess and created a great atmosphere to relax and enjoy!

My family and I came because we heard great things, everything was wonderful, the full Scottish breakfast was great! Julie our waitress was amazing and super sweet, I’d definitely recommend!!

Today we enjoyed an all day breakfast at the Rendezvous Cafe in Inverness. We were warmly welcomed by enthusiastic July who served us well. We really appreciated the nice staff and delicious food and most certainly will recommend the place to everyone visiting Inverness. Greetings from The Netherlands.

had a wonderful server Julie who served an absolutely wonderful full scottish. highly recommend

Breakfast was delicious. Thanks a lot Matthew.

We found it while looking for a place to eat and it was lovely. Matthew was realy nice.

The food is very good and affordable. The service is also exceptional. Our waiter, Matthew, was very welcoming, offered us some tea and was very helpful. Would definitly come back if he's here!

The food was very nice, and not too expensive ! The service was really good and fast, and our waiter Mathew took extra care of our demands. Keep going!

Very good food, excellent mood and the most wellcoming waiter Mathew

I had a delicious breakfast and Matthew was very friendly 😁

Great little cafe, lovely friendly service from Matthew. Sweet potato soup was totally delicious. Good value for money. Highly recommend this place

Had breakfast there this morning. Great service from Matthew who was friendly, helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble. The food was freshly cooked to order by a great chef lady, we didn't get her name sadly. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We have visited in the past for breakfast and for us it's the place to go for a great start to your day. I like the special touches, the quirky decor and the healthy 'shot' you are given, especially liked the ginger one I had in the past. Will be back for breakfast next time we visit Inverness.

Had a great time and a super hearty breakfast here. Friendly service by Matthew.

Man I really wanted to give this place a shot. It had been on my lists of must visit. After a great morning workout my husband and I decided to reward ourselves by coming here. The service was very very slow. The staff was nice don’t get me wrong ….but the food took over an hour for 2 sandwiches (VEGETARIAN not even meat). The quality was below average. I was shocked, honestly I didn’t even finish my food and left. I understand there is one cook but they need hire more staff to help support others so they can create better experiences for customers. Hope they improve would love to give them another shot but for now I don’t want to go back.

Host/owner was not friendly at all… didn’t seem like he wanted us there. Food was ok. Much better, more hospitable places to eat in Inverness.

Extremely disappointed, the quality of the food presented was poor and fairly bland.We expected better considering the prices charged! Very small cafe with an open kitchen which doesn’t seem to have adequate extraction fans as the whole place stinks of fried food which lingers on your hair and clothing for the rest of the day and beyond(my jacket still has a faint smell after 2 days!).

This is just a wonderful place for breakfast, the food was amazing and has a very chilled atmosphere for such a busy cafe in high demand. I'd highly recommend a visit

Very good breakfast. A big thank you to the young waiters who were lovely when my husband wasn't feeling well.

Terrible service. We asked for less drafty table, and although there was a free table we were denied.

A bit tight, but super efficient and friendly personnel trying to make everyone happy. Also people waiting in queue. Impressed. Real handcrafted meal so it took some time, but it was worth it. Recommended.

Ate here twice on a recent visit, good food and great service and enjoyed Laurel and Hardy!

Only guide dogs allowed inside. I mention this here, as this is my main platform of Information while traveling, so other dog owners will know it beforehand and spare them the disappointment when being told to please leave again. And as I have no way of knowing anything else about your Café (and I do have to put one Star at least), that's what I can give. I'd rather not give any, but that is not how this system works. Don't blame me.

From the music playlist to the service, everything checked the boxes of a place in my heart. What a concept. Some cinema memorabilia links, American diner style interior, good solid Scottish food items, down to earth friendly service and the Beatles played here. Sometime in 1960. Highly recommendable. Oh yeah, the food was good and they take cash.

Look no further They serve King Size Breakfast. The Quantity n Quality 110/100 😊 The Owner was so kind with the Helpings. Breakfast never tasted so Good Its a “Must Go Place” in Inverness. 👍👍

One of like 2 breakfast places to open at 8am. Good gluten free menu and aware of precautions. They have gluten free haggis!

Excellent breakfast, a bit smoky if you sit next to the kitchen

I found myself hungry and with time to kill in Inverness on a rare hot sunny day, this nice little restaurant drew me in as it had lined out side seating where there was a nice breeze and I could people watch. Ordered the £15 everything breakfast and a coffee from the friendly staff and it was delicious. Couldn’t finish it but glad to taste a bit of everything. A full-English is great, but Scotland turbo charge it with haggis and lorn sausage!

A really nice cafe with great food and lovely service. The Rendezvous Porridge is fantastic - nuts, sultanas and fruit. Highly recommend.

Look no further. This is the place you’re looking for. It was absolutely the best breakfast I've had in months. Local ingredients, cooked infront of you, super friendly and personable staff. It's the whole package.

Such a great Scottish Breakfast!

Absolutely tremendous. Highly recommended.

Lovely little place where we had a very tasty breakfast. Clean tables and friendly staff.

A friend recommended we stop by for breakfast and it didn’t disappoint. The Scottish breakfast was amazing. They were busy but the staff were lovely and efficient.

The best Breakfast in Inverness.

Staff were very rude so we walked out

The owner was very abrupt right from the start. He was not patient as we ordered and very rude. My husband tapped him as he was running away from us to ask a question and he blew up at him in front of other customers. He ignored us and then told us to leave when we finished eating. I can't say we have ever been treated so badly at a restaurant, especially by an owner.
