The seafood selection shines as well, with creamy queen scallops sautéed in a delightful blend of chili, tomato, and garlic—perfect for those seeking a taste of the sea. For dessert, the Highland Mess is a light, indulgent treat, combining meringue, ice cream, and berries, topped with a zesty raspberry coulis.

A fantastic spot with a unique view over the loch. When we arrived the owners were clearly packing up for the day, but right away offered us a table to have dinner. Incredibly nice and welcoming, with delicious food and beer. All you could want and more from a restaurant and surely one of the highlights of our trip!

We found this place by chance, having a flat tire and needing to stop. It ended up being one of our favorite experiences. THANK YOU to the staff/owners for looking after us before you opened, and for being so hospitable. We sincerely appreciate your kindness and loved our early lunch before the tow truck arrived. Best shortbread I've EVER had (they gave us the recipe and I made it the day after I arrived home!). I will never visit Scotland without swinging by to visit them again.

We had a lovely lunch here on our way to Skye from Inverness. It was a very random find but we were very pleased with everything. Friendly owner, food was delicious and a pleasant atmosphere. Coffee was too strong for my liking but that is a personal preference. Hubby however loved his sticky toffee pudding. We would definitively come back for food.

This place is a family owned restaurant and serviced by family members. The food we ordered was amazing!! Fulfilling and flavourful! They are friendly with customers too! Not like you are just a guest. Spacious restaurant. Serves breakfast til 12nn. I love the dessert!

The food was just what we needed. Reasonably priced and tasty. We met the owner who was so friendly. She went outside with us to discuss the plants. Definitely recommend.

I had a fantastic experience at Carron restaurant. The food was delicious, namely the Venison Haggis pie, the Hunter’s chicken and the Highland Tea. The waiter was not only friendly but also gave great recommendations that made the meal even better. The chef’s personal touch and warm interaction added to the overall charm. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for excellent food and outstanding service. I’ll definitely be returning!

The restaurant had a wonderful, cozy atmosphere. The owners were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the large car park and stunning views of Loch Carron were definite highlights. The fish and chips were excellent, with perfectly seasoned, homemade chips and a side salad.

Love this place, staff friendly and welcoming. They went out of their way to make garlic mushrooms as a starter for me. The Venison and Haggis pie was out of this world (best pie I have ever had). It was so tasty and tender. We didn't try the desserts as we were so full. Will definitely return@
