The best restaurants serving British food in Caol and Mallaig Highland Highlands and Islands

We didn’t have a booking but the restaurant fitted us in which we really appreciated. We were not disappointed the food was exceptional and so was the service. The menu is small, but perfect. We all ordered a different main course and none of us were disappointed. I have a starter again, beautiful and the rest of the party a dessert again fantastic. The complimentary soup was a nice touch too. It was the first evening of our stay and it could not have been any better. A really great restaurant. Thank you.

We stayed for one night in the Signal Box building, our room was very comfortable and clean and great to get a very close up view of any passing trains! ( there were only a few a day). We ate lunch, dinner and breakfast ( and then lunch again!) in the station house restaurant and the food was amazing. Huge portions, and very friendly staff. Our lunch when we arrived was just a sandwich from the honesty box that had been set up as they were closed to lunch bookings that day but then reopened from 6.30pm that night and we ate loads of seriously tasty food. We also managed to do the four hour 14km circuit of nearby Loch Ossian. We didn’t have great weather on the day we were there but made the best of it. We saw the Estate House and some lodges at the opposite side of the loch on our walk and a very interesting high tech dam system just before the Estate House. We highly recommend a visit to Corrour Station House( with a stay in the Signal Box if you can find availability- they said it’s fully booked for the rest of this year) 😍

I stayed for one night only - having heard about this place, and pounced on the single slot when I saw it. It's worth the drive up from Glasgow and ferry from Mallaig to get here even for one night: my room was spacious, beautifully furnished and very comfortable, with a seating area with a view of the amazing beach. The owner Sue is a warm, charming host and an absolutely amazing cook, providing a fantastic three-course dinner while sloshing wine into glasses and encouraging guests and other diners to relax and interact. Breakfast is awesome, as the Americans say. I hired a bike and sweated up (then down) the hill to get here, but don't be put off by that - the island taxi/minibus is always on-hand, and they do excellent tea and cakes at their base nearly next door - but that's another story.

One of if not the best Sunday roast I’ve ever had! 3 courses under £20 too. The pate is the best I’ve had, I had lamb main and my partner had beef, both spot on. Perfectly sized portions leaving you full but not uncomfortable. Brilliant service in a Covid safe environment. Compliments to the chef!

Really friendly family owed restaurant. We just stopped in for a quick bit to hold us over to dinner. I had the apple pie and my husband had a slice of some type of lemon pie/cake. The apple pie was good. I also had a large tea while my husband had coffee. Very relaxed environment. The owner was really friendly and has two dogs which are nice and mellow. There are snacks for sale already packaged for travel. We took some freshly baked snacks for later that night (i really do not remember what we had…only it was good). The restaurant offers local artist crafts for sale. We Recommend a stop in for a quick bit to eat.

Well, what can I say. Stayed here for two nights to attend a funeral. I knew it was going to be great when, arriving at 22 45, Kieron welcomed me and I climbed the stairs to my single room…..and the floors creaked. Allways a good sign of an excellent hotel when the floors do that, never failed me. Fantastic little room, attention to detail was superb. Breakfast was out of this world, skillfully prepared and beautifully presented. I didnt need lunch…….. Superb “wake” served for around 30 people , amazing soup, sandwiches, tea and coffee and chocolate pudding to die for, so light and guilt free ! Meal in the bistro for me, two cousins and my 9? year old Aunty after the wake.Ina could not have been more attentive. Enjoy this couples excellent service while you can, retirement beckons for them after 23 years !

Loved this spot! The sisters who run it are warm and hospitable, and they came to the rescue with packed lunches, too. The bacon, black pudding & egg rolls are delish, as are the shortbread and scones. We came back for more.

What a beautiful Fish n Chips! So good... I had it twice (over two days). A little tight on space, but the girls who run this are beautiful Souls too. 🙏🏻

We have visited this Hotel a number of times when in the area & visiting the Highlands, and it never disappoints. The vista is incredible, on the banks of Loch Shiel overlooking the beauty of Glenfinnan Viaduct & surrounding area. The history exudes through every stone of this beautiful, historic hotel & from the hotel grounds, to its interior, the decor is complementary, beautiful & very charming. Visiting out of season, the hotel is nicely quiet, with friendly & attentive staff, offering excellent service. On this occasion we only visited for drinks, & a bowl of handcut, thick chips, but knowing from previous visits, food is good. In season the dinning & seating areas can get busy, so it is good to book ahead.

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

We went over on a Sunday ferry, a glorious sunny day. Had a wander around and then went to the pub. Great beer from the local brewery, friendly staff, lovely attractive interior. Didn't eat but the menu looked interesting.

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.

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!

13 of us and a dog visited last weekend . Lovely cafe with super ,helpful staff. We all enjoyed our meal . Very tasty food. Good value. Highly recommend

Incredible restaurant with stunning views. The food is simply gorgeous. Michelin standard food with none of the pretentions.
