Best European food near Ballachulish, Scotland, United Kingdom
Reviews on European food in Ballachulish, Scotland, United Kingdom. The village of Ballachulish (/ˌbæləˈxuːlɪʃ/ BAL-ə-KHOO-lish or /ˌbæləˈhuːlɪʃ/, from Scottish Gaelic Baile a' Chaolais [baləˈxɯːlˠ̪ɪʃ]) in Lochaber, Highland, Scotland, is centred on former slate quarries. The name Ballachulish (Ballecheles, 1522 – Straits town,) was more correctly applied to the area now called North Ballachulish, to the north of Loch Leven, but was usurped for the quarry villages at East Laroch and West Laroch, either side of the River Laroch, which were actually within Glencoe and South Ballachulish respectively.

After being turned away from a busy restaurant in Glencoe village we were delighted to find a table at The Laroch. The food and service were excellent but unfortunately we were charged for a bottle of red wine instead of a glass. We didn't notice this till the next day and this was obviously our own fault but I emailed the restaurant about this a couple of days later giving them the full details of our meal and names of our servers but have not received the courtesy of a reply which is disappointing.Hi there. Delighted you enjoyed your meal with us, but really sorry you were overcharged for your wine. We are actually away on holiday at the moment, and so our emails arenât being monitored as they normally would be. We will be back home in a couple of days and will make sure you are refunded for the mistake. Kind regardsEileen

Relaxed lochside dining over looking the pap of Glencoe and the small islands of Loch Leven. Our menus is built around local produce and you'll find as much care goes into our infamous doorstop sandwiches as a dish of freshly landed langoustine.

What a wonderful surprise, after days of tiny hotels and nondescript breakfasts, and in a stunning location! A large clean modern room with plenty of space to unpack and repack, a large lounge area with a lake view for a predinner drink, a very lovely hotel dinner and excellent hotel breakfast the next day. And who knew I would like haggis? An option at the buffet breakfast. All staff went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful. Definitely consider this spot as you tour the Glencoe/Ft William area.

My brother and I came to eat our first hot meal in Scotland at the Hotel Restaurant. The food was fine but immediately the atmosphere was strange. The manager (maybe owner) made several off-color jokes to us and we felt uncomfortable. He seemed upset. The restaurant was almost empty save for a few patrons drinking quietly. When we finished, we asked to pay our bill. After 25 minutes of waiting, we got up and went to the bar. Twice we asked to pay our bill, very quietly and politely. Both times we were ignored. The manager interacted with us several times, but always making odd jokes that were uncomfortable for us. Finally, my brother got up and went to ask to pay a bit more firmly. The manager made a sexual innuendo concerning our desire to leave. Like "oh you are wanting to get back to your b and b for some ..." My brother was mortified. He explained that we were brother and sister. The manager made another odd remark, but finally (after nearly an hour of us waiting) let us pay the bill. We walked back to our bnb in complete shock. Probably the worst dining experience of our lives. Both my brother and I have previous experience working as servers in restaurants and just could not believe what we had just been through. Do NOT eat here.

We walked over from a nearby B&B a couple of times and were welcomed without a reservation. The dining room is attractively decorated and has a log fireplace. The staff is young, friendly, and competent. Both times we ate here the food was of good quality, well-prepared and (what I like best) piping hot!
