Friendly and helpful staff. Good beers. Had vegetarian haggis with neeps and tatties which was lovely. Very reasonably priced. Decor is a little tired but friendliness of staff makes up for this.

We were staying at The Lochy caravan site and took the 20 minute walk to the pub. Externally it didn't look promising, but once inside it was better. The decor is a bit jaded, however the staff were very friendly and helpful. My wife had the Mongolian beef curry, kids had fish goujons and chicken baguette with chips. I had the steak and black pudding pie. All plates were polished off, then onto puddings for all of us. Would definitely return if we are next in this part of Scotland.

We stayed at the castle for one night and had dinner. It was superb from the pre dinner drinks served in the parlor to the actual dinning experience. The food was delicious and the services impeccable. The wine selection was terrific. People dress up and it just felt like you had taken a step back in time and had a glimpse of what it would be like for that era.

Reviewed By JoEastMidlands
We booked ahead as soon as we secured our accommodation as we heard this is very popular restaurant and we are so glad we did. That is good advice. We thought this restaurant - set over the water of the Loch at Fort William - was superb. The seafood menu was outstanding. A great, varied choice and a very reasonable price. The staff were extremely accommodating and very professional. The wine list complimented the quality of the food and all in all we would definitely go back.

We went to The Geographer this evening. Everything has been perfect. We had 2 starters, 2 main dishes and 2 desserts in total. Every course was different, delicious and nice to look at as well. The staff was polite, nice and helpful, asking us several time if the food was good and if we needed anything. The best restaurant we have seen so far, in our Scottish holiday. If you visit Fort William, stopping by The Geographer is one thing that you must do.

This place is a God send if you have just descended Ben Nevis.Terrific food served to hungry patrons on shared tables. We arrived after dark, from a tricky descent and managed to secure a table. Booking ahead is recommended. The chicken and haggis rumbledethumps are delicious. Lovely staff and good food.
