Not sure why some of the poor reviews. The food was really quite good! And the views are of course unbeatable. If you’re on Loch Ness and make it to the south side I’d recommend a lovely lunch here. Fish & chips, salmon, beef sausage appetizer, and vegetable casserole were all excellent.

Restaurant at a fantastic site. Next to the abbey and just beside loch ness. Reservation almost certainly necessary but luckily there was a place left. Thanks to the lovely waitress. Food was excellent!

Make sure to request one of the tables by the big windows when making your booking as there are only two — if you are at one of these tables (like we were) your view will be stunning! Everything we ordered was delicious as well, would highly recommend the chicken with haggis, Nessie's hot pot (essentially a pie), and the haggis/neeps/tatties. Would definitely come here again.

Was so happy I managed to get reservations here at weekend. food was 10 out of 10 and views to die for, staff very pleasant and would definitely recommend.

Loved it. The place is fun, and so atmospheric, by the Lock Ness. Friendly staff and cozy interior. Food was really good as well, we enjoyed it!

Good experience overall. Smoked salmon was really nice, the Nessie Dragon pie was not as spicy as promised but good to dip the chips in. Friendly staff.
2 courses with a soft drink and tip came to £29, that's a lot of money for me. Was it worth it? Sure, I'll be back, but more for the views . They were pretty awesome! Nice time in Fort Augustus, wel worth the bus journey. The nearby canal system with locks was really nice too.

A very nice restaurant in Fort Augustus at the base of Loch Ness. Window seats provide panoramic views up the Loch. The food is tasty and plentiful. The staff are polite attentive and friendly. Not too expensive. Well worth a visit. Eat and or drink in or out and watch the wildlife go by.

Options for our whole little group, good size portions! Lovely and fresh. I had the chicken delight, nicely cooked sauce was very tasty and a perfect amount for the chicken and rice I had on the plate. Boyfriend had the salmon which was once again perfectly cooked and nice amount of veg on the plate. Sat by the window looking out onto the lock as we had some very nice hot chocolates! Which you can add a nice little kick to.

This restaurant may not look like much from the outside, but the inside looks very nice. Really love the wooden finish.
Aside from that, the food tastes great as well. I absolutely love the lamb kebab, I think it’s a must try if you come to Fort Augustus.
Highly recommend.

Nice little restaurant directly at Loch Ness shore. Withstanding the temperamental weather you might sit outside in their garden enjoying the view (or weather). All others are recommended to sit inside even if it is for a couple of minutes waiting in case you come without reservation. Service is quick, attentive and friendly. Cosy atmosphere. Food is good likewise tasty.
