Eating out guide to Fort William and Glen Nevis

Fort William and Glen Nevis offer a wide range of restaurants, pubs, bars, takeaways and quality food stores. The standard of food and service is very good indeed, with an interesting selection of establishments offering different atmospheres with a choice of food at a price to suit every pocket.

We recommend Cobbs Bar located around the side of the Nevisport shop in the High Street; The Food Stop in the  Alexandra Hotel, and The Ben Nevis Inn at the start of the mountain footpath in Glen Nevis. Cobbs Bar and The Ben Nevis Inn are cask conditioned ale pubs stocking good quallity beers brewed in Lochaber and the Isle of Skye. For seafood lovers make sure to book a table at Crannog Seafood Restaurant on the town pier - the food is good and so too are the views down Loch Linnhe. At the west end of town The Lime Tree Hotel and Restaurant offers a very pleasant environment to relax and eat good food with friends. Their young Scottish chef is already picking up national awards in recognition of his talents.

The Old Forge at Inverie on the shore of Loch Nevis, is the most remote pub in the British Isles - and well worth a visit.
