It was great to be there and had a delicious launch. We completely surprised when faced with such a high foods quality. If I lived there I'd probably go there every day. Nice and friendly staff are working in cosy place right in the heart of heaven of Scotland.

I think the best place to eat in Fort Augustus. Don't stop at the first places present but getting to this pub/restaurant allows you to have lunch on outdoor tables in good weather, and drink a good beer. The cheese is very good. Counter service.Vegetarian options: Salad

Way overpriced! They even charged me 50p just for a small thing of tartar sauce to go after I spent over 30 quid.

The price-performance ratio doesn't fit. Very small portions and rather simple food at hearty prices.

Great place for a quick bite at a reasonable price. Had the fish and chips and it was way too big for one person. I recommend sharing.

Let me start with the positive, the fish and chips were some of the best I have had anywhere. Seriously great!Now for everything else...This is a place where everyone at lunch is here on a tour and we all have limited time. We sat upstairs, when we went up, no one else was sitting upstairs. I went and ordered at the bar, nothing complicated two burgers and the fish and chips. After I ordered, I then went and sat upstair at this point everything seems good.Others people arrive and the upstairs starts filling up. Other tables order, all seems fine. The whole upstairs fills up. Other tables start to recieve their food. We do not. I think ok a ton of fish and chips just came out, maybe the burgers take extra time. I see burgers come out and now I am getting worried.I go downstairs to find out the details from the bar tender (who I ordered with,) He see me coming, tells me our food is on its way (spoiler, it wasn't) and to head back upstairs. 100% just dismissed me. What can I do? I head back upstairs.People keep getting their food, to the point that people that arrived after us are now heading out and we need to get back to our tour.I hunt down the server and mention that we still have not received our order. She runs away panicked. 10 minutes later our food arrives with a quick apology from the server. The burgers were hockey pucks. The fish was great. We wolfed down our food and ran to the tour.40+ minutes from order to when it arrived and I am positive that if I didn't hunt down the server it would never have arrived.

Was very busy so food took a moment to arrive but good lord. Was expecting tourist trap levels of effort but the quality and preparation of the food blew my hair back. Black pudding scone and cauliflower soup, both were A+ first rate.

We stopped in for a pint while on our tour bus stop to visit the village. We sat at the bar and chatted with some others while watching football (soccer). The entrance and restaurant are not very handicap friendly. It wouldn't be a great place to navigate with a wheelchair. Other than that, it was a charming place with lots of local flare. It's full of toruists and has a fun, noisy atmosphere. The service was fast and efficient.

Great fish and chips and Scottish

Pedro Bem

A bit overpriced to be honest, and the food is nothing special, but if you're looking for a quick meal in this small Loch Ness adjacent town it'll be hard to find much better options that aren't crowded with tourists. I tried the haggis scotch egg and that's very disappointing. The fish and chips however, was good and a rather large portion.

We just had a quick drink, but it is a nice place next to the Loch and Fort Augustus is such lovely place to visit with the Abbey, the lockgates and Lochness.

Came in after a walk down the canal with our kids. Service was fantastic and the food was really well done. Everybody loved their dishes. Great cozy place along the canal. Would definitely recommend to anybody visiting Fort Augustus.

We had the worst experience in this restaurant, really bad service, we wait for 15 min, the lady clean the table next to us and ignore us all the time. The guy at the bar couldn't say to us that we need to order at the bar. It was really a bad experience at this place.We really enjoy our trip to Scotland highlights, but this stop,really upset us.
