    We had a very special dinner at the Lovat. They offer two different prix fixe menus. We went for…read morethe less expensive one, which was £75 per person. The amount of food was just enough for us. Some people might not have found it to be enough. Everything was very well done, but it was very fancy food. Not just smoked trout, but smoked trout mousse. Not just crackers, but crackers with nettle leaves. The beef tartare was served atop a potato cube. Service was very attentive. A great place to celebrate a special occasion.

    First we visited the Lovat for dinner only at their Station Road restaurant. Then when an…read moreunfortunate accident happened on the hwy between Ft. Augustus and Glencoe, causing it to close for over 7 hrs, we found ourselves in need of hotel rooms. Back to The Lovat we went. The prix fixed dinner was delicious. First they sat us down in a lounge/sitting room for "snacks" while we played cards, then we were taken to the dining room for dinner. They presented each course, explaining the preparation, etc. We really enjoyed our experience and the delicious food. Everything was presented beautifully. We stayed in the garden rooms which are a newer addition to the hotel. They had great views. The rooms were clean and they provided goodies in the coffee/tea/refrigerator area. We all really enjoyed our time in Fort Augustus and look forward to visiting The Lovat and Station Road restaurant again.

    Newly reopened in time for tourist season, this is a shared space between an excellent restaurant…read moreand a shop for fine provisions. Eat and then stock up for the next day's drive. This was my only fish and chips on our trip and it was excellent. Massive, I ate maybe 2/3 of it? For dessert I did have a couple of bites of a super delicious and rich chocolate mousse dessert. Beautiful views. Excellent service. Definitely worth your time if you find yourself in the area.

    Reservations are required during high season. We came with reservations made through Rabbie's…read moreTours. The interior is very upscale - easily the fanciest place in the very tiny village of Plockton. The menu looked inspired and seafood oriented. Because I hadn't tried any Scottish sourced beef yet on the trip, I made the mistake of ordering the aged Scottish ribeye and then added on the cracked pepper sauce with whiskey. This was £20 plus £3 for the sauce! The ribeye was cut too thin, to begin with, so wasn't cooked properly by default. The cracked pepper sauce had no whiskey flavor at all. And the overall portion was too small given the price. Another in our group ordered the same thing with the same sauce added. He commented similarly that the portion was small and that the flavor on the beef and sauce was lacking. No whiskey flavor was detected either. Others enjoyed their food. But I should have just stuck with the seafood sampler like everyone else.
