The best restaurants in Fort William and Ardnamurchan Highland Highlands and Islands

We came twice on our short trip nearby- on the Monday it was the only place open that allowed dogs, and on the Tuesday because we liked it so much the day before! We had breakfast both days and were pleased they offered gluten free options! A great variety of gluten free and vegan cakes on offer too. The coffee was lovely and was what drew us back the next day. It was clearly popular as all tables were full both times! Thanks again and if we are ever in this area we would come back :)

Visited in July with my friend and his dog en route to Harris. Brilliant service, brilliant bunch of regulars, fantastic welcome and ziggy the dog was treated brilliantly by all, can't wait to visit again ♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍀

After a long day of travel and wanting sustenance of a vegan variety, my daughter found this site listed and off we went. It was an amazing little restaurant down an alley and we sat outside in the nippy weather served by the charming staff. I had the "fish" and chips and it was delicious jack fruit with a layer of nori coated in crumbs and fried perfectly. My daughter had the lasanga and though we were warned not to get more...we did...and couldn't eat it all. We would gladly returne but were told that they were losing their chef and would close. I saw their site still listed here so decided to post a review hoping that others can and will enjoy this restaurant.

We stopped off for a coffee mid afternoon whilst driving Loch Lomond. Views were brilliant and the coffee was good. Definitely worth a stop off.

Came here for the first time tonight as we are at the waterfront lodges at the holly tree hotel. Read the reviews and as it’s only a 20 mins drive away decided to order. Great menu choice on their facebook. Lovely lady took my call to order, really friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. Very fresh and piping hot. Very large portions, great value for money.

Ate here while we were staying in the attached accomodation. Meals were very good and service was excellent and meals came quickly. Had the sea trout with mussels which was very tasty. Needed a booking as I think they were down on space due to renovations.

A nice restaurant, offering a beautiful view of the Loch. The staff is pleasant. The only downsides: fairly long waiting time (1 hour before being served) and fairly high prices (dough dish at £19; £9 for 3 scoops of ice cream).

The food and drinks were excellent, several lunches including great soup and loads of coffee drunk over several visits. The welcome was amazing and while in the area in campsite I used their facilities as my ‘office’ several times - always a warm welcome and kind efficient service. Thank you!

We had an excellent meal in the brasserie, the service was very good and the food was delicious. Would definitely go back.

Paramos aquí en un día lluvioso después de ver las increíbles críticas. La comida era buena, las bebidas estaban bien y la sección de café en sí es preciosa. Cuando miramos en el sitio web, no estaba del todo claro que el área de juegos para niños estuviera justo al lado, pero no nos importó demasiado. Es un buen lugar para tomar una buena comida, ¡pero probablemente más si tienes niños!

The Puffin Cafe was really lovely, clean and well priced.. the Wednesday market was brilliant with local produce,, and the communication via social media was informative and quick responses… wonderful community hub… thanks

We are return visitors to the area and decided that we wanted to give this place a go after driving past many times. We are a family of four with two hungry boys and adults! It was a glorious day so we sat outside. We decided that we would just have mains and desert prior, so two of us ordered the fish and chips, my eldest ordered the burger, whilst my wife ordered the mushroom ravioli. The fish and chips were excellent, crisp batter and flaky fish and not a mean portion by any means, the chips were great as well and you could tell the oil was fresh it was fried in. The burger was full of flavour with a nice crisp outside and a generous helping of cheese with some nice crisp French fries and a lightly dressed salad. The mushroom ravioli, wow, I ended up having HUGE food envy of my wife’s plate!! Fresh pasta with a deliciously earthy mushroom filling and a wonderful sauce. Some of the best ravioli I’ve eaten to be fair! Desert was the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream, it was delicious however a little light on sauce but forgiven due to the quality of the pudding. All in all a great success and we may even visit again before we leave! If you’re looking for some delicious food then please give this place a go.

Food was fresh, healthy and delicious. Even catering for my intolerance and my daughter's fussiness!

Really good food for not silly money. Ideal place to eat if you're on the campsite but worth a look even if you're not. We had the steak and it was good, saw several other generous and tasty looking dishes coming out while we were there. Some good beers on tap too.
