The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Highlands and Islands

This place is a hit and a miss. Had quite a pleasant drink on day one though we both thought our pints were a bit flat. They obviously take care of their locals going by the fact that one old boy was served an iron bru ice drink - first time I've seen this in a pub!. We decided to go back the following evening to have a few bottles of beer but left after one drink after having to listen to loud sectarian chanting of "if you hate Glasgow Rangers clap your hands" - this was the only chant I feel able to print due to there being no age restrictions on the site!! We're not football fans so weren't insulted but it was a bad vibe and other people must have felt the same as the place quickly emptied.

No hot coffee, no cutlery, no toasties, sandwiches, nothing. Ended up with a buttered roll and chips. Dirty tables, floors. Truly, a disgusting example to have in Fort William with tourists coming from all over the world.

Fantastic place for either a big stack of Pancakes (they also have gluten free options) or a Scottish breakfast! The place was so quiet, just what I needed for that morning. The breakfasts were unbelievable! The staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Will 100% visit again!

It’s such a shame as when I visit family in Inverness, I always pop in to the Victorian market, so the cafe is in a fantastic spot. It’s an interesting wee place inside and all the signs are welcoming ....... except for the surly staff member or maybe it’s the owner? I didn’t get a welcome smile or acknowledgement. I wasn’t sure whether to order at the table and was just told in a matter of fact way that you order at the desk. There is an upstairs but this was blocked off for some reason. My snack was ok - took the edge off before my tea, I have given this place the benefit of the doubt before, but the service hasn’t improved. I went to the desk to pay and was asked what would I like to order!! I said I’ve eaten and I’m just wanting to pay. She just wasn’t interested. There’s plenty of other places in Inverness to spend your hard earned money. That’s the last time I spend mine in there I’m afraid.

The Marine Bar is a straightforward pub, but with a rather stylish decor - and they even have cocktails on tap! We stuck to straightforward Tennent’s which was on good form, and enjoyed a pleasant evening with sport on the telly and good service. Nice pub.

Tasty meal, very prompt service from helpful staff. Love the chilli nachos! Great choice on the menu

Arrived and wanting lunch we went here. Mistake!! Looked OK so ordered 2 sandwiches at £5.50 each, 1 tea and 1 decaff latte and a portion of chips. Drinks arrived and we got 2 teas instead of 1 tea and 1 coffee. Said it was wrong and told no that's what you ordered. No offer to replace! Then food arrived. The sandwiches were 2 slices of supermarket bread with processed sliced cheese. Certainly not worth what was charged. Chips were overcooked and only just warm and tasted of old cooking oil. It was edible so just ate and left and won't go back.

Worst cappuccino I’ve ever had. Avoid. Other coffees in the group were fairly meh also. There’s another cafe next door, maybe try that one instead.

Ashers have a takeaway section plus a separate counter for the adjoining sit in restaurant in the downstairs part of the St Giles Shopping Centre. There is a good selection of hot and cold light lunch options plus soup, cakes, and filled sandwiches/ rolls, and the usual hot and cold drinks. Prices are what you would expect from this type of establishment. Service was quick and friendly from Jane and I had an enjoyable snack.

Popeye's is attached to the Ferry Inn and appears to share a kitchen. It doesn't look like much from the outside. It is a simple uncomplicated pub with some basic seating and minimal ambience. The menu runs heavily to what you'd expect - we had a burger and a chicken sandwich and both were perfectly good. There is a full selection of drinks as well as coffee. Service was quite quick which was good as we stopped in here while on our way to the ferry terminal which it is maybe a 5 minute walk from. The service was friendly and welcoming.

I am very surprised by the low overall rating. I ate here two nights in a row - main, dessert and cocktail - as it was included in my accommodation package. The cocktails were nice, and the food and dessert tasty, and it meets my expectations for the restaurant attached to a three star hotel.

We sat down for half an hour, no one had even looked in our direction , had to ask the staff if someone was going to serve us. We hadn’t even had a drink order taken. The manager came over and took our order and was very apologetic but it was clear the whole place was in a shambles - no one was being served and when they were the wrong food was coming out , the server didn’t even know what tables the food was for, they were asking the customers the table numbers even though there were no numbers on the tables. The worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant. Food was average and over priced. Staff looked miserable. If it wasn’t for having a hungry 2 year old I would have walked out.

I opened my box with my wrap and chips and a spider crawled out the box disgusting and threw it all in the bin

This hotel is now a B&B hotel, part of the German change. When we asked our tour company to book three separate twin bedded rooms in January, 2024, they confirmed said room. When my family arrived earlier this month, I was informed by a not so friendly staff, they only had one twin bedded room available. It took me 45 minutes, after being told the rooms were on a ‘space available basis’, that my rooms were confirmed in January and telling me rooms were on a ‘space available basis’ was unacceptable. Somehow, maybe by magic, the reception staff gave my family the three rooms we confirmed. As I always try to do, I took photos of our room and the bathroom, the entry and reception, which is at the very dark bar. The morning breakfast was less than average so don’t plan on being overwhelmed. We weren’t impressed with the accommodations, the included breakfast and surely would not return to this hotel. Management has much work and training to do if this hotel is to survive.
