The best restaurants in Aird and Loch Ness Highland Highlands and Islands

Excellent endroit. Petit déjeuner topissime. On a pris 1 full scottish pour 2 ! Amplement suffisant car très copieux pour juste 12 L !!! Accueil très chaleureux. Personne très soucieuse de votre bien être. Je recommande fortement.

Great place. Very busy but they found us a table for us out of the way as we have a dog and wanted him tucked away. I had what can only be described as the best, tastiest tomato 🍅 soup I have ever had in my life. It was amazing and sent my comments to the chef that day. Great menu variety and quite a special place .

Popped in today and managed to get a table as they were very busy so enjoyed our usual wonderful lunch. Always cooked to perfection and the famous "Richard's chips" were fantastic. They are dog friendly too so our wee pooch Alvah had a great time being petted by other visitors.

A very atmospheric place with delicious food and friendly service. You make a really cool band together. I will definitely come back here. 🙂

Delicious! Such a warm and cozy venue with friendly staff and the pizzas were cooked to perfection. Anyone who visits Fort Augustus needs to visit this place.

If you're looking for a truly unique and delightful afternoon tea experience, look no further than this charming, Highland cow-themed afternoon tea! From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed with a warm, rustic atmosphere that perfectly complements the natural beauty of the highland surroundings, with incredible views of Loch Ness. But the real stars of the show, aside from the delicious food, are the adorable Highland cows you'll get to meet and feed—an experience that made the day feel truly magical. I fell in love with them all! Now, onto the food: everything is homemade, and you can taste the love and care in every bite. The homemade sausage rolls are nothing short of perfection—flaky, buttery pastry with a savory filling that's so flavorful it’s hard to stop at just one. Then there’s the Monte Cristo toasted sandwiches—crispy, golden bread with a perfect balance of sweet and savory that had us talking about them all evening. Each dish felt thoughtful, fresh, and made with top-quality ingredients. And of course, no afternoon tea would be complete without freshly baked scones. These scones were simply divine—light, fluffy, and served with generous helpings of clotted cream and jam. The home baking really shines, too, with a selection of treats that perfectly capture the spirit of the place, including the most charming Highland cow cupcakes! Each one was not only adorable but also moist, rich, and absolutely delicious. What we also loved about our time was there was no rush or pressure, it's not about turn over here, it's a homely and relaxing environment to be and all served at a lovely leisurely pace. Thank you Isla and the family for making us feel so at home! After reading a few negative reviews before our visit, I can only assume some people are simply impossible to please! Every part of the experience—from the food to the Highland cows—was fantastic, and it's clear the staff go out of their way to create a memorable afternoon. Honestly, I can’t imagine how anyone could leave here without a smile on their face. It’s a rare find where both the food and the ambiance work together to create something truly special. For anyone looking for a little whimsy, a lot of flavour, and a chance to get up close with some of Scotland’s most iconic animals, this is an absolute must! Hearts and tummies will both go away full and smiling 😊

Surprise find . Lovely friendly service . Good pizza and amazing Tiramisu. Went with my daughter as a quick stop to break up a long drive and would not hesitate to come back .

A quick stop off after our tour at the centre. Our wee boy enjoyed his pop dots with chocolate sauce. All OK but not as good as Aviemore. I was queuing at the till point and then people who came along after me got served first, at the ice cream counter. If there is a clear way to queue please put a sign up!

Great stop and wonderful offerings. The clerk went out of his way to take care of us. We loved the ice cream and the cannoli. Don't hesitate to ask for the waffles

We popped in when visiting the locks at Fort Augustus and they were about to close within 20mins but could not have been more welcoming and friendly. None of us are vegans but all their cakes (and there are a lot of delish options) are homemade and vegan friendly. Tea is also reasonably priced for a pot for two. Enjoyed a chat with the owner who gave us some great advice about golf courses near Inverness which we took and thoroughly enjoyed.

Popped in to pick up some sandwiches for our picnic- absolutely delicious!! We live locally and will definitely be back. Highly recommend. Heather and Jimmy

Fabulous food and great service. Thoroughly recommend both the venison stew and the sea trout! Advisable to book as it’s not huge and it has a great reputation with the locals…

A hidden gem of a cafe situated within the small post office and village shop. Wonderful cakes and bakes , friendly service. Also has a book exchange where you can take in a book and swap for another

Das Peachy Ness ist ein kleiner Laden in Invermoriston mit Glasarbeiten und Souvenirs und einem qualitativ hochwertigen Take-Away mit hausgemachten Pies, Sandwiches und Kuchen. Auch der Kaffee ist sehr gut und die Inhaberin unglaublich freundlich. Eine tolle Möglichkeit für Wanderer und Ausflügler, sich mit einem leckeren Snack oder Picknick zu versorgen. Es gibt auch ein paar Sitzgelegenheiten draußen, aber direkt gegenüber ist eine Grünfläche mit weiteren Picknickplätzen.

Nice place with decent priced staff. Definitely worth a visit.
