Review Oakwood Restaurant - Dochgarroch

Wow! Good food. All home cooked style with really fresh ingredients. Good place to enjoy a country style Scottish meal. A good find on a relatively desolate road running along Loch Ness. Can get crowded especially during the tourist season as they are right next to a tour facility down the road.

Exclusive dinning when they only book up to 8 dinners at a time and 4 of us took the whole table, it was luxury. Food were great too without being over priced. Run by a lovely husband and wife team. It is a real hidden gem. Canal view was fab, watching joggers struggle pass while we stuffed ourselves with no guilt!

Great olé place on the side of the road serving authentic dishes. Had the venison as well as the salmon soup and my partner had a bean soup. Ordered the mushroom appetizer which was delish. Food was priced right and if I may say it was the best venison I have had. Portions are pretty big so make sure you bring yer appetite or take it away with you. No gainy taste associated with venison, you could have passed it for beef. Highly recommend Oakwood.

With only one big table to welcome guests, this boat restaurant (and hotel) must be a well kept secret. We came across it on our way to NC500 and we've so happy we did. The food was excellent (possibly the best Salmon Chowder ever?) and onwers were very welcoming. I'm sure on the 3 days when it doesn't rain in Scotland you'll be able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful canal view. You can even bring your own wine, what more can you ask for?

Lovely meal. Friendly hosts. A little out of town but worth the drive. I had the seafood medely which was really good. The only tiny criticism would be I'd have preferred the Langoistine to be hot. Other than that it was lovely. The accompanying veg were very tasty. Especially the carrots 😃 The sweet was called "Scotch Mist" . This was a mix of meringues, cream, toasted oatmeal and plenty of Whisky. This was also very tasty. I would happily go back.

Rather splendid. Dropped by early afternoon to a warm welcome. Delighted to try their all day brunch which was delicious. Quality ingredients, perfectly cooked, which also included a good coffee. A very happy guest, thank you!

My husband and I stopped here after our adventure at Urquhart Castle and it was the best decision of our day! With Gabby’s delicious cooking and Gus’ company you can not go wrong stopping here. If you’re looking for some fantastic local home cooking you should stop here! Gus can’t make espresso but he can make a quick pot of yummy coffee!

The senior gentleman was the highlight of our experience. He was so funny and pleasant after being seated for a while. The salmon chowder was superb, hearty and not too fishy. The haggis with Chicken breasts was yummy, and the chicken and red wine sauce goes well the haggis. The sides of Vege was so good, came in generous portion. Do come early or risk being turned down as it gets fully booked in the evenings.

excellent food. nice quaint place. no fuss good food. probably home cooked, but none the less. excellent. worth the 12 hr drive from london to get to inverness. these are some of what i tried. excellent

Quirky restaurant juxtaposed with a post office and craft shop. Wide variety on the dinner menu and great tasting food when it was delivered. Discreet, unobtrusive service. If you are expecting "posh" forget it, but if you like quality this is second to none.

Fantastic Birthday Breakfast , food great and company so welcoming ! Would definitely recommend stopping here for something to eat / drink .. Have also stopped for a hot soup on our walk which was delicious .

Lovely food! My husband and I enjoyed it! Haggis neeps and tatties were great!

Delicious homemade local food. I enjoyed every mouthful of my poached Scottish salmon.

This restaurant is amazing! Had the langoustine and braised venison (laird stew) followed by Cranochan for dessert. Everything was truly Scottish and most importantly, delicious! It's on a street on the main road between Inverness and Drumnadrochit. Staff were very prompt and friendly. Don't miss it!

Wonderful food, wonderful staff. Definitely stop here! The gift shop is super cute.

We stopped here in our way to the Loch Ness and we would recommend it. Its very homely food with a fair price!

We are happy that we found that very beautiful place. Good food and friendly people there. We will come back.

It's a simple place and the only in the near surrounding. Had a decent plate of goulash. If you are waiting for a boat tour, it's a good place for a break.

Myself, my husband and two young children have just stopped here for dinner and what can I say?! If you want an amazing traditional meal, stop here. The extremely homely feel to it as well as the friendly owners just made it so welcoming and enjoyable. The food was obviously home cooked and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Overall an excellent little place! Definitely one not to miss if you’re in the area.

This had been recommended to my partner by a work colleague, no expectations on my part, we were bowled over by the fabulous menu, seafood, venison, beef, lamb all sourced in the Highlands. Scallops to start with bacon, main of halibut, and a cranachan to end for me, my partner had the haggis starter, a special of roasted venison and Orkney cheesecake to round off. Utterly divine, you must go visit these people. We will be back, because that is the sort of menu that needs to be ticked off dish by dish. Family run, simple surroundings and just the best food.

This was the best eating experience I have ever had, food superb, owners and staff could not do enough for you. Absultly Brilliant. Will recommend to anyone

...It has been 8 years since Jayne and I have eaten here. In the intervening years, I have waffled on to anyone who'd listen about the scallops and the Highland Park cheesecake. Well, I can honestly say that both are still as perfect as I remember, and the venison and Aberdeen Angus really are among the finest foods I have ever tasted from any restaurant. I strongly suspect that any food you select will be just as delicious TBH �. Please do pay a visit if you are in the area, you will not be disappointed...

One of the best restaurants in Scotland. A cosy, friendly place with superb meals. Their whiskey cake is the best cake I have ever had!

Absolutely fantastic place to experience authentic Scottish food. Friendly, welcoming and attentive hosts using fresh, delicious local ingredients treated with a huge amount of care and respect to create some amazing dishes. An absolute must if you're anywhere near the area.

Excellent food. Very nice atmosphere. Friendly people. We really enjoyed our visit. I’d definitely recommend this restaurant.

Food is top notch and all quality produce. The best vegitarian and vegan selection around too

Lovely food, caters for all dietary requirements perfectly. We would highly recommend Vegans to visit.

Love the food they served! Funny waiter who is genuinely interested in his guests.

The best braised steak and veges I've had ever. A proper home cooked meal

Not a warm welcoming place ! Had to have a full meal just to sit down . All we wanted was a cuppa and some cake . She did not make us feel welcome ! From Inverness god help tourists!

Scallops were delicious, lasagne very tasty, bought a beautiful leather bag at the shop, will be back , for sure

That was brilliant venison meal... Atmosphere was very cozy and heart worming... Thank You very much :)

What can we say? Could not fault it. Food and service were both excellent. If you have the chance to eat here, do it.

fabulous lunch at Oakwood today. We will definitely be back

Absolutely fabulous food. It was recommended to us and we are so pleased it was. The exterior belays the food. It is not licenced so you can take your own alcohol and they don't charge for corkage. We will definitely be back.
