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

Amazing breakfast at the Ariundle Centre. Roll in haggis and potato scone was fabulous, best I have had in my travels. Wife had a toasties and enjoyed that too! Back again and we visit every time we come to stay near Strontian. Nice relaxing atmosphere, always a warm welcome to all and beautiful home cooked meals that you will really appreciate. Finished off with an amazing selection of cakes and tea!

We had a lovely dinner on our first night in Glencoe. The service was warm and friendly and the bartender came and walked my husband through the best way to taste scotch. The food was delicious. We had fish & chips, the venison and the lamb shank, all of which were very well prepared.

It's closed. It seems abandoned

What an unexpected treat, has been the culinary highlight of our 7 day campervan trip! A simple lunch but prepared with care and skill (it was only a toasted sandwich but was obviously prepared by a good chef) served by a cheery lass. Great that the Community is now running this Inn.

The Chillers bar and grill was excellent! The service was fantastic with wonderful staff who were friendly and attentive. The coffee and food was also fantastic, the toasties and soup warmed our bones and lifted our spirits! 10/10 would recommend if you are in the area!

Fabulous place to eat . Staff are amazing and so friendly . The food is 10 out of 10 . All home cooked . Lovely atmosphere ☺️

After hiking we were looking for a place to warm up and eat some food. As we‘ve wanted to see Hagrids Hut anyways, we decided to go in the Clachaig Inn. It wasn‘t super busy so we found a table easily. We were super cold so we both opted for the leek & cheddar soup as well as some warm drinks. The food arrived quickly and the staff was friendly.

Having looked several times at booking to stay here but never managing to for one reason or another, we thought we'd take a run up when staying in Balloch for a couple of nights and have some lunch and see what it was like, I'm glad we did as it probably made our minds up about staying in the future. We arrived and walked into reception, asked the lady at reception if we were heading in the right direction for the food, she looked up and pointed to a door, no smile or a welcome or anything. Walked into the bar which was the Bidean Lounge, went to the bar and asked for table for two, there was a few people in but the lad behind the bar said just to grab a seat and I asked do we order at the bar etc which he confirmed. We went and sat down expecting someone to maybe bring a menu over and tell us about specials etc but turns out you do all that yourself. Went back to the bar got the menus, cutlery, read the specials board etc but you'd think it would be fairly standard service to point all that out when you walk in if the menus aren't on the table. I'd hate to see it busy with this service method, as even the few people ordering at the bar seemed to take ages and the guy sitting next to us was moaning to his wife that someone behind him got served before him. We probably should have looked at the menu before we went but given the website says it's "extensive" I thought there might be more than half a dozen or so main meals and soup and sandwiches, the prices surprised us too but given we were there and there's not exactly a lot of other places to go to we figured it would be good at the price, we don't mind paying good money for good food and service. We just ordered a tuna sandwich, smoked salmon sandwich, bowl of chips and a couple of cokes. (has to be pints because it's on draught apparently) I wouldn't be sat back down 2 minutes and the most disappointing £30 worth of food arrived, (in those 2 minutes the waiter also arrived with the wrong order) quick enough service to let you know it's all sitting plated up ready to serve rather than freshly made to order. A slice of smoked salmon, a huge piece of tomato and some cucumber (apparently the leaf salads hadn't been delivered so presumably the cucumber was the substitute) and some crisps scattered on the plate, a similar effort was made on the tuna sandwich both held together with one of those pieces of wood usually reserved for burger buns and the bowl of chips which weren't crispy or particularly tasty. Not great, not terrible enough to complain about either but not what you'd expect for £30. Just a really disappointing, impersonal experience, obviously your paying for the location but it's not like we could see much from the room we were eating in anyway and it's only rated 3 star. No personal touch, not really any friendliness, rapport or warmth, no one asking if the meal was nice, just a really bog standard, bland experience and a disappointing, overpriced meal which is a shame as we'd loved to have come and stayed at some point. Maybe we were just expecting too much but I don't think it's too much to expect them even to do the basics in customer service right and serve up a meal worthy of the price.

Friendly and Welcoming. We had fish and chips for dinner. The haddock was lovely the batter was slightly too oily for me but otherwise the meal was delicious. The staff members were fantastic and so friendly. We were staying at Corran Bunkhouse so caught the ferry across. Despite the rain it was still worth it.

Stunning location, staff friendly and accommodating. Great food, whisky, service and views. Relaxed atmosphere which quickly made us feel at home.

Stayed here for one night before getting the ferry to Mull. Perfect to break up the travel, and a delicious meal for dinner. Helpful staff, comfortable large room, was worth the recommendation to head out to the lighthouse in the morning before the ferry, thank you.

My family of 4 stopped here to eat during our driving trip around Scotland. We all got traditional breakfasts, which were delicious with big portions. The service was very good and we got our food fast. That night, my wife realized that she had lost her fanny pack. We contacted JJ's Cafe and they told us that they had found it at our table. We were already back on the road by then, so there was no way for us to return to Fort William to retrieve it. We asked them to ship it to our house in the USA, and they did! I would go back to JJ's Cafe for the good food and service alone, but I would ABSOLUTELY go back for the opportunity to support a business like this whose owners and employees care this much about their customers. Thank you!!!

A good cup of coffee in an eclectic former church turned climbing centre! Service was friendly. Would return if in the area.

Very fast and good service, there is a large selection of vegan dishes (all labeled) and the food arrived quite promptly and was very tasty.

The restaurant is outstanding. Food quality and service were very good with fresh produce being grown in the grounds. We ate here twice during our weeek stay in the area. Highly recommended.
