Coffees, Tea, Homemade Pasties and Pies, light lunches and Cakes. Why not stop for a stop to refresh yourself. Coaches welcome for refreshment only from 9:00am to 10:30am, or after 3:30 pm appointment preferred especially if calling outside opening hours.

An interesting cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Great coffee and a good selection of food. We arrived too late for full choice of food, our fault. Itâs open 10am to 4pm with plenty of parking.

We were driving along NC500 and decided to stop for lunch. Taking the off the beaten path track we arrived at the ferry dock to Hanna island. What a wonderful view! We had the smoke salmon and prawns which were delicious..Lunch was a wee expensive but with the sunny day and atmosphere it was worth it...The Shorehouse is a must visit!

Loved it! So beautiful and a lovely theme and restoration! Fab food and even better cakes! Such a beautiful venue and friendly service. Not the best for knowing about allergies in the cakes however there are options for most people.

Friendly cafe just off the NC500 route ideal for a break. They just take cash but there is a cash machine near by

The Whale Tale is a wee cosy Restaurant on the west coast of Scotland surrounded by ocean, lochs and mountains, situated in the middle of NC500 route.

My wife and I chanced upon the Whale Tale by complete chance whilst staying at the Scourie campsite (which is excellent). Weâve traveled a lot and eaten at many fine restaurants with famous chefs and impressive reputations. Without doubt the food at the Whale Tale is quite simply sensational. If youâve eaten at the Witchery in Edinburgh or the Three Chimneys in Skye then expect a similar taste sensation here. For starters We had a superb Cullen Skink with the right balance of smokiness of the fish and creaminess and delicacy of the soup needed, with the other other starter a lemon soul ceviche which was as fresh as it was zesty. Mains were perfectly delicate sea bream and a punchy, melt in the mouth venison main. The couple who run this hidden gem hail from the Czech Republic have created a relaxed, inviting atmosphere and deserve all the success and accolades that will doubtless come. At the moment they donât have a license which means itâs BYOB, however thatâs no big deal as the food is the star here. Whether youâre doing the Nc500 or are in the area, you simply have to go here. Weâre planning our return already

Award winning Highland restaurant serving local ingredients in contemporary dishes. Organic and vegan wines, North Highland whiskies and Cairngorm beers, unpretentious food and a true Highland welcome. Booking always recommended!

Following positive reviews on Trip Advisor, we booked for a meal here while on holiday. This was one of the BEST meals I have had, anywhere in the world, in recent years. I started with the cheese soufflé which was absolutely out of this world. The flavour was delicious, the texture super light and the chilli cream sauce a beautiful accompaniment. My companions thoroughly enjoyed their chanterelles on toast too. A beautiful steak followed with french fries, mushrooms and tomatoes. Other dishes which delighted were the confit duck with hoi sin sauce and pancakes and sausages too. Desserts were of an equally high standard too. Iâd recommend the chocolate pot which was one of the best Iâve ever had. Service was attentive but not intrusive and Ian, the owner, was a great host. This gem of a restaurant is small and intimate but the standard of food was better than that of an establishment in a major city; if you are in the Bonar Bridge area, eating here is an absolute must and for us, provided a cherry on the top of our wonderful holiday in the area.Wow! Thank you for your super review! So pleased you enjoyed your holiday in the far north and especially your evening at the Crannag. Our cheese soufflé is very popular and a little bit different. The ambiance at the Crannag is enhanced when lovely people come in to enjoy themselves, and it was a pleasure to serve you. Hope to see you again next time you visit this beautiful part of the world.
