The best restaurants in Caol and Mallaig Highland Highlands and Islands

We felt very lucky to have visited when the 5-course tasting menu was available. The pheasant, scallops, and savoury choux buns were particular highlights, but the whole meal was delicious. Excellent, friendly service too. Made our month, thanks!

Just returned from a wonderful meal here. The seafood platter was amazing and the service from Chris and his team was great. Will return.

Absolutely fantastic! Food is extremely tasty fresh, a nice simple menu with a few specials all perfectly cooked. The service was excellent, warm, and friendly. Will definitely be back

As we were in the area, we booked an early dinner for my birthday. We were not disappointed. It was quite busy, but the three ladies were friendly and efficient. I had the rib eye steak, and my partner had steak pie. The portions were plentiful. I mentioned it was my birthday and they gave me a free drink. I opted to take the pudding with me, to which they obliged. Thank you for making my birthday a good one.

Wow the Cullin Skink soup was fantastic to start. We had lobster betwen us for main course, tasty delious food. Only a small place, you can't book. (I kept trying to ring) Top Tip Get of the train and get there asap as it fills up, and they only do lunch. When we arrived they had a note on the door saying full ,but my wife went round the side asked if they could fit us in. Ime so glad as he squeezed us in. (Thankyou so much) people kept coming but we were lucky. Does not disapoint.

Great atmosphere in the dining car today. Tables full with locals and visitors enjoying a tasty lunch served with a smile. Chef Duncan uses local ingredients and team Manja and Ella provide a welcome smile and good service. The diner closes for the winter soon so if you haven’t booked, do so now.

Excellent lunch here at the weekend - freshly ore prepared, quality ingredients and very tasty. Can highly recommend.

Perfect cozy cafe, wonderful staff, and they had a vegetarian option for the standard breakfast with “vegetarian haggis”. They even steam up the milk for the tea. Lovely.

We stayed there for one night. Very cost with goats and geese. There was only a 5 course menu for 60. But very good, and worth the price. The owner was very kind, and transported us back to the great Glen Way. We would go there again.

The welcome was very very very uncomfortable. The guy at the reception desk made us feel unwelcoming. He gave us a death stare as if we asked him for his life while asking if could grab some coffee and leave. The staff who served us, were very friendly, but then another staff just spoke so rudely. Would not recommend for anything. The view is good, but down the road there’s another beach for the view. So would never recommend this place.

Wedding party held here 25 years ago and returned for a celebration for my wife's 60th birthday. The hotel has been refurbished to a very high standard but keeping the impressive features of a Highland Baronial House. The quality of the food was excellent, great service by friendly staff. The location overlooking Loch Sheil and the monument comemorating the raising of the Standard in 1745 is unparalleled. An overnight stay for dinner, bed and breakfast iis not cheap but worth every penny.

It was such a pleasure to visit this cafe and a welcome contrast to the pre-paid accommodation ran by some racketeer at Ivy Cottage. We took one look at what was on offer and fled to next ferry to Mallaig. I went to school in Inverie in 1948- 49. when the priest had an affair with our teacher. He wnt on to become bishop of the Westrn Isles while she became an un-married mother

Great food and great service Lovely location Go through day to appreciate view from dining room Very friendly staff

We visited Canna for a couple of nights in September during glorious weather. We'd only planned one meal at Cafe Canna. but we stopped in for lunch after disembarking the ferry the food was so magnificent we were back for lunch every day. The seafood platter is amazing, so fresh and superbly cooked and everyone is so friendly. It's worth the journey to Canna just for the cafe, we will be back!

Really lovely cafe, great menu and reasonably priced. The food was amazing and would definitely highly recommend the prawns and fish! Generous portions so be sure to leave some room for the fabulous cakes…. Or get a slice to go!
