Restaurants in Fort William

The Highland Soap Company Visitor Centre & Larder Cafe

Nice view of Ben Nevis, and the nearby castle ruins (at the edge of the parking lot - but fenced off because of potential falling stone) adds some charm. Good coffee and nice selection of cakes, etc. Did not look at the soap sorry but smelled nice.

Ben Nevis Takeaway

Amazing pizza. So tasty and service is fantastic! Ordered on the just eat app. Was delivered to the door within 15mins pipping hot! I’ve said it all along! Best pizzas in Fort William.

Macari's

Absolutely fantastic fish and chips. I ordered the large haddock, and it was absolutely massive! The fish was cooked fresh, tasted amazing, and the batter was perfectly crispy and golden. Great quality, generous portions, and everything you want from a proper fish supper. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

McDonald's

It's a busy little McDonald's right near the train station but we found a table quite quickly and the staff member was doing her best to clean tables as soon as possible to get them turned around. There were lots of groups and families of all ages and it was full of happy, noisy chatter. When we got our tray to the table, we realised that the fries were missing and spoke to the staff member who was cleaning the tables. She cheerfully volunteered to go and get them so that the rest of our food didn't get cold. She deserves 5 stars.

Abis Kebabs

Portion sizes are large.
If you request donner meat (as a side) on your burger you get ALOT.

Paid online and went to collect and instinctively put cash on the counter and walked out after receiving my order and the staff were very honest and called me back in and gave me the cash I had left on the counter and reminded me I had already paid.

Chips cheese and curry sauce was some of the best I have tried in recently years.

Black Isle Bar Fort William

We came here after a day of hiking and it hit the spot. It’s a very casual and relaxed environment, but the pizzas and atmosphere really impress. There are plenty of drink options, and truly something for everyone. The Scottish cider “Thistly Cross” was delightful and a good option for those who don’t drink beer. We definitely recommend this spot to those in Fort William.

Glen Nevis Restaurant

We stopped in here for Sunday dinner while staying in Fort William and they did not disappoint! The roast was moist and tender. And the Glen Nevis Chicken stuffed with haggis was to die for! It’s best to make reservations, especially for Sunday dinner. We were fortunate that we didn’t have to wait but it filled up fast!!!

The Nevis Centre

Left a pair of shoes there to get them after finishing West highland way. The people there were super nice and helpful and gave them back to me a few days later. Thanks a lot!

Travee

What a warm welcome we had from the lovely owners, who were attentive and helpful our entire stay. Slept like a log on the comfy beds and the room was clean, airy and comfortable. Some view we were treated to out our window too, sweeping across the loch to Ben Nevis. Can't recommend this gem of a place enough, you'll be comfortable and well looked after :)

Cameron Square

The Grog & Gruel

Their Chicken Balmoral is verry good, and the best dish to try haggis if you’re not shure you’ll like it
Wait staff is very pleasant
Dining room is cute !

We recommend

Cafe 115

Was cold tired and hungry we had burgers and fish and chips the food was very nice and the service was excellant will be back guys thank you the coffee is best tasted in fort William so far

The Geographer

Arrived to the restaurant and saw a queue out of the door. However, 20mins later we were sat down and enjoyed an excellent meal. Great for gluten free as they have a separate fryer. Portions were generous and the food quality was great with locally sourced ingredients. The mussels were particularly delicious. The service was brilliant. Would really recommend!

The Wildcat

A super cute and delicious coffee and brunch spot. I loved that everything is vegan as this is so hard to find around here ? Try the hot chocolate, it was one of the best we ever had! Will def come back when we are in the area again.

Sammy's Fish & Chip Shop

They put on a seperate fryer for me, cause i need to eat glutenfree (coeliac). Staff was very well informed what to look after (gf vinegar). Thank you so much! The Chips made my day :)

Spice Tandoori

Food was outstanding… freshly made, beautifully cooked, very tasty. Waiting staff cheerful and attentive, great service with a lovely Saturday night vibe. We loved it???

Crannog at Garrison West

Nice and fresh seafood served in large portions. Friendly service that was suggesting alternative food options for our two children. Book table as the smallish restaurant fills up fast!

The Kilted Camel

Fantastic little cafe. Both food and coffee was delicious. Love the little benches for seating. Very small inside but cozy and friendly. Definitely worth stopping in

The Crofter Bar and Restaurant

Excellent on all counts during my recent holiday visit - beer, service and as for the Haggis, neeps and tatties another star required.
Thank you, top marks.

Roam West

Great pub/restaurant atmosphere and delicious food!
Didn't stay in the accommodation but we came to eat dinner and they found us a seat even though we hadn't booked. The staff were all lovely and provided great service. There was a lovely fire place in the middle of the room it was a nice relaxed atmosphere whilst still feeling well kept and presented. Our dinners were absolutely delicious! We got the vegan bangers, mash and veggies and the vegan haggis, neeps and tatties and both dishes we very flavourful and delicious and good portion sizes too. They had a great range of whisky and beers/ciders too.
Would certainly come again if im ever in the area. We are from Australia so was nice to be able to try vegan versions of Scottish food. Thank you for making the menu inclusive!

Nevis Bakery

Wow, fantastic! My first time trying a breakfast roll, and it was delicious and very well filled. The woman in the shop was very kind and patient in answering my questions. I will definitely come back.

The Volunteer Arms

Great pub on High Street. Sat outside as we lucked out with a beautiful sunny day in September. The Belhavens went down mighty fine as my partner shopped up and down. Would love to go back.

The Lochy

Great food at The Lochy! ?️

We stopped by The Lochy Bar & Restaurant and ordered the mac and cheese, the Lochy sandwich, and mushroom soup as a starter.

Everything was really tasty and fresh, but the Lochy sandwich was definitely my favorite! The flavor was amazing, and all the ingredients worked really well together.

Overall, we really enjoyed the food. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, and I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area!

Sunny's Sports Bar

Been to sunny’s while on a driving tour in march this year and again this weekend. Two of the staff Shaun and Maggie that were amazing with us the first time recognised us 8 months later along with some of the locals and made feel just as welcome as they did the first time. Pay a visit you won’t be disappointed

Blas na Mara

Delicious seafood, comfortable atmosphere, and very friendly service. The langoustines were especially outstanding and highly recommended. We will definitely come back.

Tradewinds

has such a nice meal at Tradewinds on Friday trying out their new menu. I had the Chichen burger and it was amazing. Such a nice atmosphere and very affordable. Highly recommend

Lochaber Cafe

Lovely place for a nice breakfast at the train station. My wife really appreciated the vegetarian version of the full Scottish breakfast and it was a lot of food for 12 GBP. The Eggs Benedict I ordered was “fine” but the poached egg was pretty solid and then muffin was barely toasted so a bit of a miss. All the staff were super friendly and they serve breakfast all the way to 1:30 PM.

The Bistro

This bistro was delightful, the team ensures you're taken care of.
I was able to enjoy 2 appetizers as my dinner - the ham and pea tartarine (I think that's what it's called) with the chutney and oat cakes was even better than expected. The smoked salmon and prawn with the dill was fantastic.
I enjoyed a mango and passionfruit cider that was delicious, made it hard not to enjoy another as it went down smooth.
The honeycomb cheesecake was hands down one of the best I've had.

Aroma Cafe

First time eating here but certainly not the last. Great views of the loch and mountainside to the back of the cafe. Staff are very friendly and service was quick. When the food arrived it was fresh, hot and very tasty. Portion size’s are perfect. Highly recommended the braised pork belly and salt and pepper chicken and the pork. Amazing value for money

Rio Pizzeria

Absolutely outstanding! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The service was attentive without ever being intrusive, and every member of staff went out of their way to make the experience special.

The food was the real star — beautifully presented, packed with flavour, and clearly made with the freshest ingredients. Each dish was perfectly balanced, with just the right mix of creativity and authenticity. Portions were generous, and every bite left us wanting more.

The ambience was just as impressive — cosy yet elegant, making it perfect for both a casual meal or a special occasion.

All in all, a flawless dining experience. We’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to everyone we know.

Deli Barqen Chinese takeaway

Used this takeaway last visit to Fort William while staying for weekend 3 year ago was very impressed. Back staying this weekend and had a takeaway Friday night, it was that good we went back Sunday. Lovely fresh and very good prices. Lady owner even gave 2 bags of free prawn crackers. Highly recommend this takeaway. Mr William Richards Dunfermline Fife Scotland.

Costa Coffee

Great outlet with loads of vegan options and tasty coffee. The lady at counter was very friendly and accommodating to our requests. Must try if you are at fort Williams

The Great Glen - JD Wetherspoon

Best place if you want to eat something after 21:00. All other stores kitchen closed at nine o clock. I took the smoked burger with a beer. I was very good and big one. The place had music and many beers to try.

Morrisons Cafe

Of course, not everything is perfect. One day the place was closed due to no water, and another day they suddenly stopped taking orders because they were understaffed. But on the other hand, where else in Fort William can you get a huge, proper, filling breakfast for less than £10? The value for money is absolutely fantastic. You also pay for just one coffee or tea and get unlimited refills from the coffee machine.

West Highland Restaurant

I was here in early April 2024 during a 4 day stay in Fort William for some mountain hiking. On a slightly rainy daybit was lovely to visit the shops here, and also the restaurant. They served enjoyable dishes for lunch, the service was very friendly and very smooth. I just had a small wine, a lovely vegetable soup served with a bun, and something sweet as a desert. There was no rush, and I enjoyed talking my time while also having brought something to read. It was spacious, calm, and just very enjoyable.
