The Rendezvous Cafe in Highland

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🤩👌🏻

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

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!!

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

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.

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!

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

I had a delicious breakfast and Matthew was very friendly 😁

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

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!

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

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.

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

Breakfast was delicious. Thanks a lot 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.

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

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!).

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.

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.

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

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.

Busy cafe But the full vegetarian breakfast was amazing! Highly recommend.

Staff are lovely, nice clean place. I found the breakfast (full Scottish) to be a bit too greasy.

The place as such looks good....they just don't have options for vegetarians .....if vegetarians order..they must order eggs - any style .... To be specific...I requested for the avocado, caramelized onion and chilli salsa on toast.....but I was told I had to order eggs alongside anyways..... The lady serving was friendly but the menu doesn't allow for accommodating vegetarian preferences ....I suggest it's time to make few tweeks to the menu..... We went here early morning to get breakfast the vibes were really good 👍

Staff were pretty rude and unaccommodating

Best halloumi sallad I've ever had! It was our second time at the Rendezvous Cafe and we will certainly be swinging by whenever we are in Inverness. Lots of great vegetarian and gluten free options.

The service here was excellent; the staff were prompt and courteous, really standing out in their efforts to ensure a pleasant dining experience. However, the quality of the food didn't quite match up—it was decidedly mediocre. Particularly disappointing was the coffee, which was excessively bitter, suggesting perhaps the coffee machine has been neglected for some time.The restaurant's layout also detracted from the experience. Its small size and the placement of the kitchen within the dining area meant that odors from cooking, especially burning oil, were unavoidable. These fumes not only filled the air but also lingered on clothes long after leaving, which was quite bothersome. While the service was commendable, the overall experience was marred by these other factors.

Really nice cafe and the staff were brilliant. I had the full-on 15 piece Scottish breakfast and my wife had pancakes with fruit and maple syrup. Both were really well cooked and plentiful. Despite the impressive size of the breakfast I didn’t feel overwhelmed after. It was crisp, clean and not greasy at all. I’d say the best cooked breakfast I’ve had. I also saw the bacon rolls come out for another customer along with scrambled eggs. These also looked incredible and I’ll definitely be returning to try those. The black coffee was also very good. Definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic place with top quailty food and friendly staff. A hidden gem in the centre of Inverness. Highly recommend. We will certainly return on our next visit.

Food was fine but unfortunately we were totally forgotten about by our server and were left for almost half an hour waiting for plates to be cleared. Young female server then had the cheek to ask if we'd like to leave a tip when we finally got the bill! For such a small place to be totally forgot about is unforgivable. **Owners reply below is obviously about a different table as once we were actually remembered, the bill was delivered to the table promptly. Patience is a virtue, something we both have plenty of, but over 25 minutes is a long time to be ignored by your server regardless🤡**

I'm sorry to say that our latest trip to the cafe was disappointing. The guy who was serving was very friendly and did a great job. The food wasn't great but the prices were the main issue. £6 for a small bowl of chips is a rip off I'm afraid. Especially when most of the chips were small and over fried. £15 for a soup and toastie also seems pretty punchy for very average food.

Coffee and service great but clothes were smelling of cooking when we left.

Rather spiffing. Great food, lovely staff. Best breakfast I’ve had in Inverness, by a mile. Portions are quite generous which is worth keeping in mind.

Do not bother going here if you have a baby. We were blocked at the door and turned away with the lady claiming they were full despite having multiple tables, the door was then closed in our faces. When asked about the other free table she then said they had no space for us and our baby.

Loved it! The food was great. The design and the atmosphere was simply perfect. I ordered the breakfast pancakes and they ran out of strawberries, which I didn't mind because they compansate with lots of blueberries, but a few minutes later the waitress just gave me extra strawberries and really made me smile. Great service!

Lovely little cafe we had a lovely time there. The service was great as was the atmosphere and we liked the breakfast although didn’t love it. Overall a great time and would go back.

super friendly staff and epic feed. there only seemed to be 2 staff members working who were cooking the food and then serving customers inbetween meals - sounds like it’d take a while but somehow it was so efficient and really impressive. our airbnb host hadn’t heard of this place before so we spread the good word and hopefully they do the same with future stays - super dope, loved it.

Beautiful breakfast. Partner very much enjoyed the veggie haggis! As others have said, it's an open kitchen so you'll smell it on your clothes later but it's worth it!

Lovely place and great staff. Excellent tea and amazing smoothie (not tried food yet)

Sunday breakfast and we were lucky to get a table! So glad we did as fantastic breakfast, plenty of it and all served in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Terrible service. Disgusting treatment. Plus, they didn't have any ingredients and didn't let us know until we asked why the dishes arrived half-baked. Incomplete dishes.

Terrible treatment, when ordering the food the waiter disrespected me saying that I better keep quiet because he didn't understand me. It also said that the kitchen (very limited because they didn't have everything we ordered available) closed at 3 and didn't let us order anything after 2. Horrible experience, I don't recommend it for anyone.

I just ate breakfast at this cafe, and I must say I am so impressed and delighted by the food, service and atmosphere. It was so calm and pleasant to sit there and have a good meal. 5 stars 👏🏻

We had a really bad experience due to the service provided. The waiter was so mean that told us to shut up as he cannot understand our english accent. Not recomended at all.

food was good. delivery driver tried to open my door though.

Really great cafe serving delicious breakfasts. We had a group of 8 us and the team were super welcoming and sorted our orders and food out really quickly. A great first stop off the sleeper train!
