The best restaurants serving British food in Fort William and Ardnamurchan Highland Highlands and Islands

Absolutely outstanding. Only a small 8 table restaurant. Nice, simple, relaxing & laid back set up. The food was exemplary. Well worth the cost. I wouldn't class it as expensive as the quality deserved the cost. Was seated for around two hours and left fully satisfied. This is well worthy of being any cities top rated restaurant.

This place is a hidden gem! We were driving by and found it by chance. The crispy chicken burger was really tasty. My kids loved the nachos and loaded fries. The food quality and taste were amazing, and the prices were very affordable. If you’re in the area, it's a must-try, and the view from the place is breathtaking.

Ate here on two occasions on me and my husband’s trip in Scotland! Once on our way to Fishnish and again when we arrived back in Lochaline. Had lunch (soup and savoury scone) and breakfast (ham and cheese sandwich, scone with jam & cream, latte) - both meals were absolutely delicious and the ingredients were high quality! The scone was still warm and fresh and so good with the jam & cream! We had the tomato soup for lunch and it was so cozy and comforting with our savoury scone! We are so glad we came back a second time. Our server was also very helpful the first time we came and helped us packed everything up quick when we realized our Ferry had arrived! Thank you Cafe LA! Hope to be back from Canada again soon!

For an alfresco 'fika' in the late Autumn sunshine, we had coffee and their last pieces of cake. Brilliant wee place.

We went to get some lunch after we finished climbing Ben Nevis! Fantastic foods and such a comfortable place to relax and take in the warmth of fire wood! I had an entree haggis and venison burger main which was a super delicious and generous portion. Clean bathroom and helpful staff. We traveled from overseas and couldn't call the taxi on our mobile but the staff helped call one for us to get back to the train station. Definitely recommend for food and drinks if you are in the area!

Visited for afternoon tea being recommended by friends and family who have stayed. We had similar reaction to them, albeit without experience of the bedrooms. Fantastic service, warm ambiance in a historic setting of great beauty but somewhat living off past glories, inside and out signs of update/modernisation needed. Lovely food for tea and my pot of Marsala chai was the best I’ve ever had. Our thanks to the team.

We had an amazing 3 courses. The meal was one of our best on our trip to the highlands. Beautifully cooked venison and Lamb and an amazing cheese board. We made a booking to ensure we got a table and I’m so glad we did.

We live locally and cant believe we have not come here more often Best meal Ive had in a long time Staff very friendly and helpful Would highly recommend

Great wee coffee shop, food was really good from hot rolls to soups and wraps and delicious range of cakes. Also liked the fact they provide a pot of hot water with your pot of tea so you can top up! Staff are friendly and welcoming and the gallery is an added bonus if you want to view and purchase a beautiful painting.

Old Pines, Spean Bridge was a charming, quiet retreat. On arrival, a pygmy goat basked in the sun on top of a picnic table, outside of the dining room. Wandering goats and geese provided comic elements. A spectacular view of Ben Nivis and the surrounding moors filled the floor to ceiling dining windows. 5 course dinners, generous Scottish breakfasts and comfy beds provided the perfect decompression from a hectic schedule. Across the lane and over the style, a walk through the moors offered surprises with wandering sheep, lively river waters and an unexpected view of an old stone viaduct destroyed in the clearance disputes. Emerging near Spean Bridge village we walked to the Commando Memorial and looped back on the moor trail to the Old Pines. A lovely, slow paced retreat.

Maybe I am not a fan of traditional pies, but give me a fish n chips Pukka pie instead any day. Also got their soup of the day - and again maybe I'm not a fan of traditional soups but even a cup a soup sachet tasted better. Fairly nice service though..

Another excellent breakfast, great value. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Service is relaxed. It's an informal place, there's no maitre d' or fancy meals, it's a lovely local cafe that we've been visiting for years. Staff (and possibly owners) have changed in that time but we know what we're getting.

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.

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.

Very long waiting time for an inedible burger, the only noticeable taste is gasoline. The restaurant staff were unfazed by the situation.
