I was pretty nervous about trying this place based on all the really bad reviews they got, but this is the only option for evening dining in Invermoriston, and my B&B hosts told me they hadn't heard anything bad from their guests "this year." The food wasn't as bad as I had feared, but it wasn't exactly great either. I had the mushroom crostini appetizer, which was really good, and very mushroomy tasting. I also had the trout filet, which was just "meh." Bland and not cooked all that well, with some bones still in it. Also it seemed that none of the wait staff spoke English as a first language, which I have to admit was a little offputting. Basically for the prices they were charging I would expect the food to be really good (not top notch, just really good) and it was, overall, just OK. My recommendation would be to eat a late lunch at the Glen Rowan Cafe and skip dinner here. And if it's lunch time, then don't think twice about skipping this place.

This place was good it warranted two visits.Both occasions my husband ordered the vension because he loved it so much. I went for Pork the first night and chicken the second. Both of my meals were delicious. The Deserts were lovely. Service was prompt and very good.

Glen Rowan Cafe / Restaurant is a family run business specialising in fresh food and home made baking, in a beautiful location close to Loch Ness.
I arrived too early in Invermoriston to check in to my B&B, so decided to have something to eat nad drink while I waited. After having walked all day in the rain, I had fantastic hot chocolate, cake and a nice chat to the lovely lady at the Glen Roman Cafe. Just go, it's just past the Clog shop.

Whilst staying at the Woodside Highland Lodges we paid a couple of visits to the Whitebridge Hotel. The food was very good and the bar staff and locals very friendly. Dog friendly, we enjoyed the food and company in front of a wood burner

Both the service and the food were amazing. The portions were absolutely enormous (and we quite like our portions!) so be mindful of that. The menu had an amazing mix of both local food (seafood, haggis, lamb pie) but also more classic dishes as well. Amazing selection of wines and whiskies.

Visited today after Reading it was the top spot in Inverness area. We ordered the soup sandwiches Packages as there wasn't a choice on the menu..but I guess it's still Off season just now. The Broccoli and Stilton soup was delicious and I couldn't fault it, but the Scotch Broth was extremely tasteless and bland as if the stock and seasoning had been forgotten. The Sandwich, when it came, was only 2 quarters...not even a whole Sandwich?. The home made coleslaw was delicious.
We decided on cake as it looked amazing and the slices were enormous. However it was extremely dry and crumbled straight away when trying to eat it. We were really disappointed. I understand it's a slow time of year and a large cake may take some time to be eaten and so may dry out by the time it's sold, but it really was very tasteless.
The serving staff wernt overly friendly. A small village eatery I would have imagined to have extremely happy smiling staff who should welcome new customers with an over the top welcome, after all it wasn't busy...but it was really grey and boring. The room was really chilly, I didn't want to be rude and put my jacket back on, but I wanted too. The toilets were sooo cold however that when you walked back into the main room, it actually felt warm. I felt the place was just "ok". That's all it was...just ok. I would go back on a warm summer day when it's busier to see if there was more on offer on menu and maybe cake not so dry. Sorry.

Staying on the campsite on Loch Ness you can see the inn way up the hill. After a 15 walk up the hill we arrived to a warm welcome and dogs allowed in. All four of us ordered, two off the main menu and two off of the specials. All arrived in good time and no complaints. All mains were very good, but beware the ribs are huge.

Drumnadrochit, with its Nessie centers and the nearby Urquhart Castle, is a high tourist area. It was pleasant to find an unpretentious local cafe (tea room) in the area as well. Stopped in for a light lunch on our way from Inverness to Isle of Skye. Sandwiches were well made and tasty and the staff friendly. Does a great job of what its supposed to do.

Over-priced with small selection, but it is a shop in the middle of nowhere, what else to expect. If you can stock up in Inverness. The fresh ice cream advertised was nowhere to be seen, never mind.

We had drive up to Drumnadrochit from Onich/Fort William, to visit Urquhart Castle and were pretty cold, exhausted and hungry. We discovered Ness Deli and it was the perfect place for our needs. It was quite busy, which we were surprised by given it was late January/off season, and the weather was characteristically rainy.
The service was initially a bit slow, but they were extremely busy and we learned pretty quickly in Scotland that the pace is a bit different then in the states. So, get over that, seriously. Just chill, they will get to you. And it wasn't that slow.
The food was delicious. We ordered fish and chips, recommended by our server and a meat pie. The fish tasted so fresh, as if it was caught a few minutes before they prepared it. Maybe the best fish and chips we've had, anywhere. They also have fantastic soups which we ordered, and took a couple to go which gave us a nice simple dinner by the fire in our cottage that evening. They have a bakery as well, did not take advantage of that but everything looked yummy.
If you've done your Google due diligence, seeking best spots to discover Nessie on Loch Ness, you will probably end up in Drumnadrochit. Ness Deli is a perfect place to stop and get a bite whatever time of day you end up there. It's priced fairly. Great overall value all the way around.
