The best restaurants Fort Augustus

This small pub on the banks of the canal offers a simple but effective menu, based on fresh, seasonal produce and with plenty of choice. The usual fish & chips, magpies, burgers and steaks are all there, but there are also sandwiches for less at lunchtime. You can eat there all day long, either in the main bar or upstairs in the restaurant area, which overlooks the Caledonian canal. It is even possible, in good weather, to sit outside to admire the boats passing through the locks.

Situated between Fort Augustus and Drumnadrochit, in the small town of Invermoriston, this establishment is a friendly stopover on the edge of Loch Ness. On the menu, you'll find classic pub food, but also inventive and tasty recipes. You come here for breakfast, lunch or a snack during the day, both sweet and savoury. Special mention should be made of the cakes, including the excellent carrot cake. The staff is very friendly and is happy to advise you on more confidential sites.
