Restaurants, Cafes & Places to Eat

Food from the Highland Larder

Here in the Highlands, we are lucky to have access to some of the most amazing ingredients – from locally grown veggies to extra mature cheddar, to small-batch smoked chicken breasts, we really do have it all. Naturally, with such a diverse and exciting selection of fresh produce – the restaurants nearby serve up some really delicious food. Here are our favourites!

The Woodlands Glencoe Top List

Because it can be so hard to choose, we have ordered these in terms of closest to furthest – so you can decide if you want to walk or drive! Below you’ll find some of our staff’s top pics! If you don’t see anything you like, please speak to a member of our team and they will have another recommendation for you!

The Loch Leven Hotel

Our closest dinner spot – which also happens to be a micro gin distillery! So naturally their bar is top notch! The great drinks are complimented by a fantastic menu so you really can hunker down for the night here. And the best part? It’s only 20 minutes away on foot – a great choice if you feel like a local beer or two with dinner!

The Holly Tree Hotel

Another firm Young Family favourite – and a cracking place to catch a famous West Coast sunset. Great food in a beautiful location!

The Quarriers Kitchen

The local Chippy, which also happens to deliver! You can order over the phone and they will bring it to your lodge door – what more could you want?

The Old Inn

A beautiful old pub which looks out to Castle Stalker. Serving amazing local steaks and great beers, The Old in is a must visit!

The Pier House

A little further afield but if you are looking for fresh seafood and great views, this is your place! The Pier House looks over towards Lismore – so a fun thing to do is to take our Electric Bikes over the ferry, cycle round the island then head back to The Pier House for dinner!

Spice Tandoori

Great curries and good veggie/vegan options.

The Highland Cinema

Wood fired pizza, great nachos and pick-and-mix – literally the dream date! They have movies showing every night in a cozy little cinema – why not have a look at their listings here?

The Achintee Inn

A lovely pub situated at the foot of the mighty Ben Nevis. The Achintee – or the Ben Nevis Inn – serves great pub food, local beers and all by a great big roaring fire. Casual but delicious scottish fare.

Crafts & Things

Our local coffee shop, open during the day serving fresh home baking and delicious lunches!

I'm vegetarian and I really don't like mushrooms, so much so, I usually pretend i'm allergic to them ... My dream dinner is a simple Margherita pizza and a really yummy non-alcoholic beer, followed by an awesome movie - which means that The Highland Cinema would be my dinner choice!

The Pier House would be my dinner choice. I'm a creature of habit and when we go there, you bet I'll be ordering their Cullen Skink followed by Mussels and Chips! It's all so yummy! I don't drink alcohol, but they also have my favourite Fentiman's Pink Lemonade - which is a bonus!

As a pescetarian, perpetually on the hunt for great fish & chips - my go-to is the Holly Tree Hotel for some Haddock. Their deep fried brie is amazing too! On the subject of cheese - The Achintee Inn do an amazing cheese tart that I regularly dream about.

I'm a bit of a Coffee nerd, so I like to find the best speciality places local to me. In Fort William we have the Wildcat Café which serves up some seriously tasty beans, roasted in Glasgow! They also source the best local-made Sourdough bread which is a must try for carb hungry folk like me!
