Booked the restaurant for family of 4 adults and one child, but did not realise that it really was more of a Turkish menu with some Scottish favourites thrown in. Service was not particularly good, we had to ask for drinks and waiter said , yes when I 've finished cleaning a table? Also had to ask for the bill at the end. No atmosphere and staff were bit stilted and not sure if they really understood us? It was more of a refectory type dining and not great ambience. Limited views out onto the loch because of the small boat house type windows, but better than no windows as bits of the views were great. You would be lucky to get a table with one of the long windows but you can 't have everythi...
So disappointed. Came here a long time ago and it was a sweet little cafe with good food and lovely service. Unfortunately it has gone so far downhill that I feel the need to warn others about it. Firstly staff on their phones constantly and absolutely no atmosphere to the restaurant. The main issue is the food. Daylight robbery it should be called. £15 for a McDonald’s standard burger, in fact McDonald’s is fresher! The smallest bit of cheese is thrown on the super flat and frozen patty that tastes like it’s been at the bottom of the packet for a long time. Fish was okay for a frozen slab but like the burger, it was just thrown on the cheap looking plate. I hardly ever leave bad reviews but...
As we were waiting for a boat trip thought it a good idea to call at the boathouse to enjoy a snack and cuppa, the place itself is in a prime location right on the edge if the loch and TBH is the best thing going for it. As we were limited for time I just ordered soup of the day, Lentil with a roll and a plate of chips plus tea for two, the soup did not taste homemade as advertised, bland with no seasoning £6.95 , the roll appeared to have been nuked in the microwave as it was so hot, the chips £4.95 was a very small bowl of frozen scragg ends not homemade as you would have expected, the tea was wet and warm and actually arrived 10 mins after the food very disappointing. Seeing some of the m...
Beautiful views- but that’s all. The food was atrocious, very expensive £21.00) for a lamb dish, £17) for fish and chips. Lentil soup £6.50). These prices are absolutely justified for the setting, IF the food was fresh and homemade. All I can say is that ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING was out of the freezer. Rolls with soup were the par baked ones- nothing wrong with that if it was a cheaper offering. Onion rings frozen, fish, chicken burger, all dishes served with limp and sad skinny fries- well, just mush fries shapes… Also, all drinks served in pint size plastic cups. Please think twice.

Popped in for an early lunch on the basis that it got good reviews for GF options, which it did. I settled on lentil soup with a side of chips (my OH had the same) and our son had a burger and chips. I didn’t notice a price for the soup as it was on the specials boards but how much could soup be? What arrived was the thinnest, wateriest soup I have ever had, which had very little texture or flavour. Really disappointing. Along with a glass of tap water and two teas, our bill came to £55! I was absolutely staggered.
The location is really great on the Loch Ness: pic-nic tables outside are certainly the best choice here, if weather enables. The place is obviously owned by a group of Turkish people, some of them struggling with speaking English. The staff is not particularly kind, but they care about what customers say. The food is rather good, and they really tried to Scottish-ize their menu (I believe they had no choice, as most of the customers are tourists looking for local food).
The best view of any restaurant in Fort Augustus looks directly out on to Loch Ness. The food is delicious and service very friendly. Great to have a range of Scottish and other cuisine for variety. We’ve taken kids from 2 years old to grandparents in their 80s and everyone has enjoyed it. Had evening meals, lunchtime meals and just stopped for a drink outside to enjoy the view. Walk down along the canal towards the Loch it’s highly recommended.
We arrived to an almost empty restaurant, “greeted” by a young woman who boredly handed me the menus and told us to sit where we wanted. The server seemed rushed off his feet, despite the lack of customers. Two of us had fish and chips and one had a chicken kebab. The grilled chicken was tasty, the battered haddock was… adequate. The chips were pretty terrible. There is a great view. I wont be back.

It’s located down a charming path to the lock ness. It was clean and the food very good for a tourist area. I had the chicken and steak kabobs with great rice and a fresh salad. My friends had nicely grilled salmon over fresh vegetables. They really take pride in their establishment. It took some time to get waited on so order everything from drinks to food at once to help speed things along.
