A very nice restaurant in Fort Augustus at the base of Loch Ness. Window seats provide panoramic views up the Loch. The food is tasty and plentiful. The staff are polite attentive and friendly. Not too expensive. Well worth a visit. Eat and or drink in or out and watch the wildlife go by.

Food was excellent! Service was great too! I'd highly recommend going here. Out of the 3 places we ate in the town, this was the best.

Everything about this restaurant is superb, the view is out of this world and the food was very tasty We had the mixed kebab grill which was the perfect size and had succulent tender pieces of meat. The service was great too, definitely would recommend going!!

Options for our whole little group, good size portions! Lovely and fresh. I had the chicken delight, nicely cooked sauce was very tasty and a perfect amount for the chicken and rice I had on the plate. Boyfriend had the salmon which was once again perfectly cooked and nice amount of veg on the plate. Sat by the window looking out onto the lock as we had some very nice hot chocolates! Which you can add a nice little kick to.

Initially we didn’t choose to eat here but finding ourselves stuck in Fort Augustus for the night (there are worse places to be stuck!) we called and booked a table. The restaurant which we thought was in the main centre of Fort Augustus was actually a short walk round the canal path to our surprise with the most beautiful location on the banks of the loch. The service was excellent and the food was delicious with a great mix of traditional and Turkish dishes. We would definitely visit again. It was very busy so I’d recommend booking

Best restaurant in Fort Augustus. Excellent food & service. Warm, friendly & relaxed feel. The owner is very welcoming and accommodating. Prices are great value for the location which is absolutely spectacular with stunning views across Loch Ness. Book early for a window seat, this place is understandably desirable & popular with locals & tourists alike.
