Best British food near Loch Ness, Scotland, United Kingdom

April 24, 2020 Frederic Celentano

Find out what British restaurants to try in Loch Ness. With depths reaching 700 feet and a length of more than 20 miles, Loch Ness provides plenty of hiding places for its legendary monster. Should you tire of searching for Nessie, this scenic section of the Scottish Highlands also delivers charming villages like Drumnadrochit and Fort Augustus, open-air Shakespearean productions, multiple golf courses and medieval Urquhart Castle. Wildlife of the non-mythological variety and ancient Caledonian pine forests can be found in the Glen Affric nature reserve.

Moriston Restaurant

Reviewed By Ali921

There's not much choice in the town so during busy periods you will definitely need to book ahead for the restaurant which is in the Glenmoriston Arms Hotel. Unfortunately this is not a reflection of the food. We found the dishes out of place considering the location of hotel. Our vegetables comprised of one large piece of carrot, courgette and turnip. Rather than a plate it came in a large bowl which meant the veg was presented on top of the food. If you're going to prepare and present food in a haute cuisine style you have to get it right. However, in our opinion it's better to deliver dishes which emphasise local Scottish preferences.

The Loch Ness Inn

Reviewed By Keriza

We’ve visited the Loch Ness Inn several times over the years. We love the ambience of the place, and the service is always perfect, super-friendly. Tonight we felt the food was perhaps not quite up to it’s usual standard, and it’s rather expensive actually. It IS a huge tourist destination area though and I would charge a premium if I ran a restaurant there too, so fair enough. The meat in the steak & ale stew was beautifully cooked but very over-seasoned. Chips were small and over-cooked. Others in my party said the food was ‘fine’, but it was a lot better than fine the last time we were there. Coconut panna cotta didn’t have much flavour at all, I’m not sure it had sugar as an ingredient at all? You did get some sweetness from the mango sorbet which came with it. All in all, just a little bit disappointed tonight with the flavours & some of the execution. I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed by your recent visit to the Loch Ness Inn, I have passed your comments onto the kitchen.

Stopped for a quick lunch after searching for Nessie on the loch. Food portions were generous and of good quality. Service was also excellent - the cafe was very busy but despite this the staff were very attentive and we felt well looked after.

Fiddler's

Reviewed By richarda170

Went to Fiddlers whilst on holiday cruising the Caledonian canal. Its about a 20 minute walk from the mooring at Urquhart bay. We hadn't booked but we were dining early so managed to squeeze in - would recommend booking as its relatively small.They serve a good amount of local beer and ales and have a very extensive whisky menu - so much so, they have a food menu created to have with a dram pf selected whiskies.Mains of lamb cooked two ways and Loch Ness cider pork belly were very tasty with big portions. The Fruit Pavlova came with a huge meringue and a lovely fruit compote - again all desserts had a recommended dram !Service was warm and friendly - overall a nice dinner is a traditional pub. Well worth a visit.

Really loved the food and service- had a 3 course tasting menu that was local, fresh and well paired with wines. Service was friendly and attentive. Nice lighting, and just across the street from Highlands Club and next to the canal. After dinner, we had a nice scotch by the fireplace in the Inn waiting for the rain to slow down- great experience and #1 on our places at Loch Ness!

Located midway between Inverness and Ft Augustus on the southern side of Loch Ness in made a perfect lunch stop with lots of tasty options and friendly staff. The hardest part was choosing from the homemade cakes and slices They even made a great flat white. A walk down to the waterfall across the road made the desert guilt free.

Redburn Cafe

Reviewed By TheButtercups

Such an unwelcoming and rude greeting from staff before entering the building we didn’t even bother to order. A bit of general politeness goes a long way. I’m sorry to hear you feel this way as we pride ourselves on making all our visitors feel welcome and enjoy their time at our cafe and have never received adverse feedback regarding such matters before. It would have been helpful to know specifically what made you feel this way to enable us to learn from your experience.

The Camerons Tea Room and Farm Shop

Reviewed By Garth1973

After walking around Foyers Falls, this is an idea place to stop off for lunch. We drove past it on the way to Foyers, and caught our attention. So on our return we visited and before entering the building we were greeted by some Highland Cows and local deer. The owners have put a lot of attention to detail with the interior work and at the table we sat, there was a framed newspaper cutting about an encounter with Radio DJ Chris Evans. A good venue for lunch.

This quirky cafe had wonderful food with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. The homemade soup I had was fabulous and the owner was very personable! It is a smaller cafe but we didn’t wait long for a table or food. Thank you all!
