  “6 guys turned up at 6:50 when he was just closing up for food. We had been canoeing all day across loch Ness. He served us all and it might be the best meal we've ever had. The smashed burgers were outstanding and my fish was to die for. …”

  “Very welcome sight after 4 days canoeing down the Great Glen. The cheese and charcuterie boards were lovely, and we got especially great service from a lad called Gordon who didn't even blink at our huge round request at last orders.”

  “One of the best burgers I've had. You have to get it from the outside footstall, absolutely worth it.”

  “The food and drinks are so good! We stopped here after our dog walk as we wanted to make the most of the sun. We ate from the food trucks outside and had the Fish wrap, Chicken burger, Coffee, and a Pint of lager. All made fresh to order and absolutely delicious, the staff serving were extremely friendly and polite. Highly recommend.”

  “Excellent food truck, where the food is made with fresh produce. PIcnic tables and benches overlook the lake! For me, this is the best place to take a break.”

  “We didn’t have anything to eat as the place was closed for a private event, but the place is beautiful. The beach is really nice and the landscape looks beautiful and one of a kind place. We did order some coffee from the food truck in the garden area and took some nice pictures of the place. This was part of our road trip in Scotland. Funny thing is that we were in Scotland about 9 years ago and back then people sure looked nicer.”

  “Have visited the main restaurant many times to eat in and always enjoyed it. As it was a hot busy summers day we ate outside from the outdoor area. Limited menu and quite pricey for what it was. Misread the fish item thought it was fish and …”

  “The Dores Inn is a quaint restaurant that has some tasty food! I had the fish and chips which was pretty good. My boyfriend had the haggis starter which he said was really good, and he really enjoyed the fish and chips as well. My friends said the soup and their burgers were absolutely amazing, my one friend said this was her favourite meal from Scotland! Personally not my favourite, but a good stop at the famous Loch Ness. The service was great, we had a very friendly and great waitress. The views were beautiful, you can eat inside (very small inside but okay) or outside with views of Loch Ness. There is parking outside but limited, and the bathroom is only accessible outside and it isn’t the cleanest bathroom but decent. This is definitely a casual place, but fun to visit for the views.”

  “The place is lovely. Definitely a must visit if you're staying nearby. The food is great and not overly expensive. The view on the Loch Ness and surrounding hills is beautiful. The only thing that could make it better is higher variety of beers.”
