The Storehouse in Highland

Queues far too long didn't stay for food, entered shop didn't see anything of interest. Left unlikely to return

Delicious, delicious, delicious and really great 😍 Our expectations were more than exceeded. A huge selection of cakes, desserts and other savory dishes, it was really difficult to choose. Self-service, friendly staff and a beautiful view of the water.

Visited here with the family for lunch. The food was lovely and plentiful. Reasonable prices too!

Lovely food as always. Such a nice setting, with lovely views and a huge beautiful blossom tree.

Travelling down the A9 from Orkney to Pitlochry and needed somewhere to stop midway. The Storehouse was perfectly placed between the two, and right alongside the A9. There's a large car park, with plenty of empty spaces, but it was still busy at 16:00 on a Saturday afternoon. The dining room was three quarters full, too, but the queue at the counter moved quickly and the food arrived promptly too. It was well cooked, very pleasant and reasonably priced. Everywhere, including the loos, was spotless. Recommended.

Cosy cafe with delicious food and eye popping cakes. Pancakes were just the right size with a mound of delicious, perfectly cooked, bacon and stuffed breakfast rolls for the boys. A family favourite and guaranteed pit stop when in the area.

An absolutely amazing location on the firth. A wide range of food and amazing cakes. The staff were friendly and efficient. If the weather's goos try and get a table outside for the stunning views.

Good coffee and scones by the sea

Always a great experience at The Storehouse. Excellent food and amazing staff, they are a credit to the place.

Nice place to stop for a coffee and a chat with friends, if you are lucky enough to get a seat. Gets really busy and whilst it does have an extension, it can be really cold.

Like the house of bruar, but without the posh

Always busy but prompt service and good food at reasonable prices. And room for dogs.

Nice breakfast but extremely busy Probably lunches a better bet as good choice

A bit too noisy but food and service great also cleanliness excellent

Delicious food in a lovely setting. Staff are very friendly and welcoming

Consistently great food, welcoming and friendly staff, excellent value.

Arrived here not expecting much however I was pleasantly surprised at the prices, quality and the amazing staff who run such a busy, small and quality establishment. Great atmosphere even if it's popularity requires waiting the staff go above and beyond.

It's hard to pass the Storehouse either en route home or heading south. On this occasion it was a quick stop off for a delicious hot chocolate and some scrumptious take away mars bar crispy cake slices 😋 It was great to see it bustling Excellent as always!

Lovely lunch, good value and spectacular location overlooking the Cromarty Firth. I had tomato & red pepper soup followed by the biggest meringue I’ve ever seen. A real treat after a walk up Fyrish

Best restaurant! Great food Great staff Great view

Great place for food and drink. Gets very busy. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Cake selection nice, with some big cakes.

A really cosy place to have some tea and cake!

Have long been a visitor and never been disappointed with the food or the service. However, visited today and the food was very good but the service was a bit strange. The staff kept clearing away our table before any of us had finished eating. I had a plate of toast I was enjoying, I actually was eating it when a server took the plate of toast away with my side plate too. She didn't ask if we had finished. I wondered of we were being rushed so.they could have the table?

What you see is what you get. Very popular and good food. Avoid lunch time, it's just too busy.

Good stopover. Truthfully I only popped in for a quick refuel whilst en route to the north north of Scotland. I had the veggie quiche. I mean it was fine, nothing amazing. Perfectly adequate, just. Perhaps I wasn't there long enough, or I picked the wrong dish, but I'm not ready to hand out a five star review just yet. More testing is required.

The meringues are epic and the rest of the food is good too... Nice produce shop inside and a crafty place outside.

The storehouse has very good food. There is no table service so when it is busy (almost always) you have to stand in line to place your order.

Excellent place for a meal, and their produce is great too! The staff need a mention, so efficient and friendly!! Really great coffee and food, everything here is just amazing and the views from this great location are just gorgeous. The pizza is some of the best I've had anywhere in the world! Stop by here if you're in the area!

Friendly staff, food good and prices reasonable.

Beautiful little cafe, stunning scenery. Staff are all very friendly. Good coffee, wide selection of cakes and traybakes. Very reasonably priced

Stopped off for a very nice coffee with a view here. Lovely friendly staff!

Amazing view and location, good food and nice gift shop.

Went today for a fish wrap. It was large, and it tasted ok. However, the cooking oil used for the fish and chips smelt old, and as if it hadn't been changed in a while. This put a bit of a dampener on my meal. It wasn't inedible by any manner, but it was an off-putting smell.

Breakfast doesn't get any better than this in Scotland! Café top. Full Scottish BF perfect. Scones are great. Huge selection. Location by the sea. Small shop: worth a visit.

No complaints at this establishment cannot fault the food or service

Lovely food - Pizzas are amazing. Also had toasties which were generously filled. Service is quick too. It's a popular place.

Perfect breakfast . Nice coffee . Staff smart and pleasant. Nice big tables with plenty of space. Speedy service. Premises nice and clean . Lovely fresh flowers on every table .

Popped in to get a couple of cups of tea/coffee but the queue was huge so didn’t bother. Might be an idea to have a separate drinks counter for that? Really enjoyed previous visits when we've had food and don't mind queuing for that.

Lovely farmer stop and café. Great food and relaxing atmosphere. A perfect stop along the N500.

Food is always gorgeous Humungous portions Dog friendly Amazing views Friendly staff

The mother of all meringue! Had never been in here before, although have driven by many times on my way south. I will absolutely be stopping again! Great menu choices and lovely atmosphere!

This was highlighted as being worth visiting whilst doing the NC500, with a craft area, deli and cafe on site, alongside a small veg stall. There is plenty of parking, the produce is good quality however the prices reflect it. A lovely seating area at the back of the venue looks out onto the water.

Stopped for a coffee and sandwich. Good choice on the menu, clean inside. Toilets good. Free parking.

Stopped here after a sesrch on Google. What a lovely find - so much more than expected. Food is lovely - had a warm crossent with goats cheese, caramilised onion and mushroom. Tasted sooo good. Cup of tea with bit of fudge on side. Hubby had cake - chocolate with a custard like filling and an Irnbru. There is a lake beside the cafe grounds and you can sit in the tented area and be warm but still enjoy the outside. There are some shopping areas and artist/local makers gallery/shop. Visit if you can - so worth it. Dogs can come too but nerd to be on their best behaviour. Wheelchair accessable too.

Great food and nice place. Very nice service. Higly recommended 👍👍👍

We have stopped for meals and snacks a few times over the years and it is always a pleasure. The staff are friendly and polite, the food is always good with a wide range of options. The decor, design and location of the restaurant is also very nice.

Excellent as usual, food and service top notch. Salads with smoked salmon and the other prawns, added chips and new potatoes which we swapped over halfway through!! Lovely... Bought a carrot cake, only £3.50 and that was our treat for two more days when kept indoors by rain. Everyone here, staff and other customers, very friendly and genuine so will definitely stop here again.

Lovely friendly place to eat and shop in the food hall. We were in search of fish & chips by the water and had the perfect sized fish & chips, very fresh and there was lots of choice to sit inside, under cover outside and out by the water with a great view of Cromarty Bridge

Lovely Scottish produce a stones throw from the cromarty bridge.

Food was very good. Service was also super polite & the location was great.

By far the best eatery in this area.

Stopped off for lunch with two dogs. We had one quiche & salad and one fish and chips - food was lovely! Very fresh and homemade food. We sat outside and enjoyed the peaceful vista eating our food - heaven. Price was not the cheapest but definitely worth it for the quality of food. Thank you!

Many regional articles. Well done.

Brilliant, everytime I go there they don't disappoint, the food is excellent wide choice on the menu & the deserts are good, had the stake and blackpudding pie very good. Well recommended...!

Delicious food served here (lamb tagine and beef bourgninon) and yummy cakes too. We had to wait a little as it was so busy but it was worth it. Its very well organised. The young girl taking orders had the biggest smile and warmest Scottish welcome, what an asset she is! The farm shop is full of the best in high quality food and offer great service too. Their bread is delicious. What a charming place to visit ... we shall return! Thank you.

Excellent Scottish breakfast and staff very pleasant

We had coffee and tea, not any thing to eat. Bought a lovely sweater . It's good are expensive and we were surprised to find some of the knitwear was made in Scandinavia . Not to be expected in the Highlands really !

This was a hidden gem for us while travelling on the NC500 route. A must visit during a sunny day. The food was great, freshly baked bread dishes and the desserts were to die for. A quick shout out to the handicrafts shop outside the restaurant which had curated gift items and a very cute pet welcoming you. I would definitely recommend

The cake was ok, the service was very good. Great location by the water

Best fish I tasted all week, excellent.

Young staff but they were so welcoming polite and cheery. Great choice of food good portions. Really enjoyable lunch and will visit again.

Top end fantastic food friendly people even on a damp Scottish summers day!! The gift shop and food shop is lovely too!!

A lovely place to eat and a great location. Food excellent and staff so friendly and efficient. Loved the tablet with our coffee so couldn't leave without purchasing 😋👍

Very large and nicely decorated restaurant. Good coffee and big pieces of cake. There is also a good breakfast.

Great morning stop in our way home. Really big tent outside which is dog. The food was delicious and the shop was really well stocked.

Great place in a scenic area. We had breakfast there and was extremely good!

eXCELLENT STAFF, EXCELLENT FOOD AND GOOD ATMOSPHERE. BIG SELECTION OF DISHES, LOVELY GIFT SHOP IN COURTYARD. VERY VERY GOOD TABLET!!!

Very friendly welcome. Varied and delicious food. Beautiful view. Nice place. We recommend it.

Main building has a restaurant and local goods shop. Did not eat at the restaurant but the shop was wonderful! In the little building next door is a darling local arts store that features prints, mugs, t shirts etc. the store owner was so friendly!

Very nice, a little stop to eat facing the sea, quite a few people but very good flow everything looks very good it's plentiful and not very expensive...we order our dish and sit where we want, I advise!!

Our visit to this cafe today for lunch was unfailingly a joyous experience. Here is a place that is in a beautiful location with lovely views of the Cromarty Firth, distant hills and sunbathing seals on the nearby rocks. As a family, we have dined here for at least the last 17 years, while on holiday. This place is the bench mark of a well run establishment. A visible and welcoming owner, who runs a tight ship with happy, loyal, motivated and well trained staff, who work positively together as a team to deliver a high level of customer service. Nothing is too much bother and the staff are keen to check that you have everything that you need and that your lunch is satisfactory. There is a high level of cleanliness both at table side, self service station and toilet facilities, with supplies replenished and checked frequently. The food menu is extensive and of a high quality, (most produce is locally sourced), freshly made, portions are generous and prices are reasonable. This is a very popular cafe and as a result, there can be a long queue around lunchtime. However, this is mitigated by the super organisational skills of the Manager and their team, so the wait doesn't feel too long and it's definitely worth it. I have to say, that in 17 years of dining here, I have never had a bad lunch and the staff have always been professional and helpful in their approach regarding any additional requests made by myself/family. I am not surprised this cafe has won previous awards and accolades and I would highly recommend a visit to extended family & friends.

Only had a cappuccino... But it tasted sensational… beautiful restaurant in a great location, definitely visit! It's a shame that the restaurant is closed in the evening... would have liked to have dinner there... There was enough for a late lunch today: good food! Bravo 👏

Such a lovely place, food was delicious and the view when sitting outside is absolutely stunning when the sun is out

Busy due to good quality and reasonable priced food staff were great

A warm, family-friendly place, typically Scottish. Varied and sophisticated dishes. You can have an aperitif or eat. Very good service!

We enjoyed the restaurant and the Land Rover’s pizza and Toffee pudding! The view of the North Sea is amazing

Visited mostly due to reading good reviews online and being suggested by others online however breakfast was disappointing. We visited at opening time so we were the first through the door and when we ordered our breakfast it was lukewarm and it arrived within minutes which indicates that most if not all was pre cooked. We also both had belly ache afterwards which is very unusual for us. The cakes were inviting and the two gift shops on site had really lovely gift ideas, worth a visit. Would not return to eat based on our breakfast experience.

Great experience. The food is delicious, there are lots of choices, and the staff is very pleasant. A stop worth it!

Always a great meal when I come in here.

A masterclass in how to serve the best of quality at a very reasonable price. A great choice of dishes, all of the highest standard. Service was quick and very friendly. We eat out often and I can't think of any restaurant within 50 mile that wouldn't learn a lot by going for a meal at the storehouse. Faultless.

Scones are too dry. Everything else is very good.

Spot on place to stop we didn't have our dog but everyone else did. We certainly will be back with him. Food was great. I didn't enjoy my quiche but personal taste. There was so much other choice. My partners pizza was cold when arrived the young man immediately sorted it. When it returned my partner devoured it! With a big smile on his face. The shops were great too I had to pick up a few bits. And of course ice cream to finish 😊😊😊

Great food and friendly staff. Area dogs are allowed in.

Great food and friendly helpful staff. Have been a few times and will be back again.

One massive problem with this place. You're expected to stand in a queue of around 30 mins to order your food, and even then there is no guarantee of a table. I can't imagine elderly having a good time with this system. All the negative reviews mention this from years ago and they don't want to do anything about it. The food followed shortly after ordering, maybe 20 mins. The food looks delicious, but not in my case unfortunately. I ordered the salmon poke bowl and it was just drowned in soy sauce. Shame really. Went out of our way to come here.

Unfortunately very crowded, but the view is great.

Great wee place, great local food and very tasty cafe. Well stocked deli shop. Will defo be back.

Quick lunch and ok coffee with interesting craft shops. Pleasant stop off while travelling up the A9 right by the shore of the Cromarty Firth.

Great for a stopover for Inverness

Went with friends and had a great lunch in this picturesque spot overlooking the moray firth

Excellent pitstop on our journey north. Lovely setting beside the Dornoch Firth, seating inside and outside. Excellent cakes

Lovely place with a view of the lake. We had breakfast early in the morning with a few people in the place. Very friendly staff, excellent food. Super stocked with sweets. We had the typical English breakfast, milk, coffee and pan cake. Advised .

Lovely food as always. Nice and comfortable will be back

Really really good food, locally produced. Free ev charging with type 2/tesla plugs.

Lovely place and friendly staff

Great place,good menu ,outstanding view and friendly service

A really nice shop with all things scottish

A place with potential if it weren't for the chaotic service behind the counter.

Beautiful cafe, outstanding menu and super kind staff. Dog friendly and lovely location. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Exceptionally friendly and helpful service.
