The best restaurants in Wester Ross, Strathpeffer and Lochalsh Highland Highlands and Islands

This was a lovely wee stop en route to Gairloch and to be honest, not where we had originally planned to stop off. Forming part of the Lochcarron Golf Club but not quite located in the main part of the village, this was a no nonsense, comfortable café. We were greeted by a lovely waitress - she made my four year old son feel right at home and let him look after their ‘Baby Buddha’ ornament (Buddha’s are an obsession of his). She was proper helpful and without fuss, even done us takeaway food for my wife, who was babysitting in the motorhome. We ordered a few things but my Eggs & Avocado on Toast were done perfectly (runny Yolks / smooth Avocado). My Coffee was spot on and well needed after a long drive without any sort of stop off points. My son devoured his Scrambled Egg on Toast. The food was nothing out of this world but for me, it was just good home-cooking eaten at the exact right time! An added bonus of the location made this driving break even better - overlooking the Loch Carron inlet and miles of blue sky and greenery. I’d confidently say it falls into the hidden gem category of NC500 eateries - don’t be put off by the Golf Club pavilion facade!

We had some delicious smoked salmon 😋

This was a brief visit before our hike up Fionn Bheinn, but definitely one to remember. Lovely staff, fantastic Coffee and all backed up by stunning views of the surrounding Scottish landscape. Although geographically remote, there was no shortage of customers! We had actually planned a post-hike visit as well but ran out of time in the end. Highly recommended, whatever the occasion.

We had a delicious lunch here, having had a lovely coffee and cake a few days previous. . Friendly staff and tasty food and drinks on both occasions. View from the cafe was beautiful.

Absolutely delicious everytime! Its a must whenever we are passing through Ullapool. Lovely warm welcome. We had takeaway big breakfast, coffees, soup-all scrumptious. Sourdough bread is to die for. Well done guys :-)

What a lovely find dog friendly cafe staff very welcoming food freshly made we had breakfast delicious highly recommend 👍😄

cute little bakery that i have to stop at anytime i drive by

Was here for my Aunts birthday lunch and the food was lovely. Hunters Chicken, Pork escalope, haddock, scampi and cajun chicken all good great reviews, and all the desserts 😋 👍. Lovely location with friendly, attentive staff, brilliant! Thankyou!

Stopped for a quick break on the way to Poolewe. Even though they were short-staffed, they produced a wonderful soup of the day (sweet potato) and the lightest tastiest cheese scones. Such friendly staff and excellent value for money. Would recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Hugs both xx from us Dafthermits..

Brilliant food good oat latte great gifts and lovely welcoming atmosphere. Staff were so warm and friendly on a Cool autumn day

Such a little cute place just in front of the harbor in Ullapool 🙏🏻 Cake was so good, and also the lady surely the owner was si lovely! Full of nice gift as well !

This restaurant is permanently closed. It’s a shame that the owner hasn’t made this clear on this site

Best place to eat in Plockton. The food is OK and staff nice However ithe menu has become more limited and prices are very high. £12 + obligatory service charge for a medium glass of wine! It feels very corporate, won't accept bookings in person - you have to book online
