My first meal in Scotland and Glencoe Cafe came thru. Situated in a small town off of A82, this…read morecafe, pub, pizzeria, and restaurant has lots of vegetarian options on the menu. While they were out of many of them during our trip, we still thoroughly enjoyed the ones we had. The vegetarian haggis was surprisingly delicious. Having never tasted traditional haggis, this is not a comparison. We enjoyed the flavor and the consistency was a bit crumbly without being too mushy. The vegetarian pizza was solid, although a few too many vegetables included for my personal taste (I prefer pizza with two to three items). And the standard margherita pizza was a winner. The staff was friendly and the view from the deck was nice. If you're looking for a cute lunch stop tucked into the southern edge of the Highlands, Glencoe Cafe is a nice option as you travel through the rolling hills of Scotland.

This charming and cozy little spot seems to be a bit of a social hive in tiny Glencoe. Some would…read morecall it "cramped" rather than "cozy"--the quarters are pretty tight. Given its diminutive size, the cafe has a relatively long menu of panini and other sandwiches, soups, salads, and desserts, with a sharp focus on tea service. Went with a chicken tikka panini, little salad, and darjeeling. It made for a nice lunch stop. Friendly service, as was the case virtually without exception the whole time were in Scotland. In the Glencoe Cafe's mashed-together seating, we U.S. residents of Ohio ended up being surrounded by Michigan folks who were talking about Big 10 football, including a young couple who, as is apparently contractually or maybe even genetically required of almost all U.S. millennials, order all restaurant food by stating which items they want to "do." "Home sweet home," Jeebus. Finally, here's a piece of advice: If you're driving from Edinburgh to the Glen Coe area like we were, and you're thinking about stopping for lunch on the way, consider that once you pass Stirling and a couple of smaller towns just beyond there, dining options are few and far between in this magical area. Although already hungry, we passed up a couple of sketchy-looking (and thronged) tourist cafes on the A82 about an hour before we got to Glencoe, but were glad we did.

Right on the edge of the Crinan Canal basin and run as part of the Crinan Hotel, this is a pleasant…read moreplace to stop off for some lovely coffee and a snack. The home baking is very nice and we enjoyed coffee and cakes on more than one occasion recently! I would say that it's rather expensive though. There are plenty of places to sit inside and a few tables and chairs outside by the water where you can sit and watch boats passing through the locks. You can buy postcards and a few books too - and even the Avon So Soft midge repellent which is needed by so many in the West of Scotland (fortunately I am never bitten!)

It's located on the edge of the canal basin at the north end of the Crinan canal, just down from the hotel, (which does excellent if pricey high teas), with windows looking out over the water. Throughout the cafe on the walls are scattered local artists works, mostly for sale and in a room to one end is more work around the walls, mostly with guide prices beside them. There is also a selection of old boat engines and pumps on the floor for you to have a look at. We had some of the homemade cake and scones, which were all lovely, my usual drink of coke and the folks had tea and coffee. Prices reasonable and staff helpful if you wanted to know anything.

We grabbed a few for a lunch later in the day along with a pair of pastries, and some coffee. We ate the pastries in their tearoom and the sandwiches a few hours later on the road. Both were a-maz-ing. The sandwiches were made fresh, stayed great until we got to the later in the day, and were portioned well. I kind of want to go back to get another few sandwiches, but sadly I've left Scotland and am back in the states (and my routine work-life). If you are in the area or plan to be, plan to work in a stop. Enjoy!

It was about 9 am and already quite busy, it seemed like everybody who was on the way to Isle of Skye or Glencoe was stopping here. They are known for good sandwiches so we got 2 different ones to try. Both sandwiches came with a purple color coleslaw that was good but we found all the coleslaw in Scotland had too much mayo for our preference. Pastrami with Swiss sandwich: Proper pastrami that is a nice pink with black crust from the nitrates and smoking process. Plenty of cheese and meat but it was very large, had to save half for later or I wouldn't have been able to drive. Turkey sandwich: with pickles and white cheddar, they had some kind of mayo spread that was good. This was surprisingly tasty and we ended up eating more than the kids. If you go down the alley on the side you can eat at a little lake in the back. There's a hill with Worden steps you can climb and from the top you can see a small, old cemetery. They had a wide assortment of country loaves for sale as well!

The smells of food were utterly compelling - it tempted us and we were pleased to discover that they had some pretty solid vegan options. We decided to see the museum first to allow the tour bus passengers to finish up and clear out. The first dining room that you enter is constructed of all stacked stone walls - that room is pretty dark, making the light from the kitchen shine like a beacon of yumminess. Just a short flight of steps down from the kitchen is a dining area that has windows that view the field below with the prehistoric burial mound (and cows) and half of that has a fantastic skylight. Service was really excellent - friendly, warm, welcoming and efficient. The menu has a wide array of options with an emphasis on locally made and grown foods. We had the soup of the day - roasted tomato & red pepper - which happened to be vegan. The house made brown bread was fantastic. I also had a small side dish of the falafels & hummus (also house made) which were delicious. The falafels were on the tender side (vs the super crispy have to break with a fork type) and the hummus was tasty and chunky. They have a good selection of bottled beer and sodas - and they do have a wide array of gorgeous desserts (none of which were vegan, sadly!). Excellent and affordable - was one of the cheaper lunches we have had at 21 pounds.

The prices were reasonable, they had large bathrooms nearby, and the ambience was charming. I would definitely stop in here again if returning to the Kilmartin Museum or even passing through. Highly Recommended!

In this area there is no shortage of cafe's dotted around the town, this one stood out with the red exterior and probably one of the healthier places to go. Seemed a nice enough place inside, if you are early enough you can grab something to eat of the breakfast menu that is served until 12 noon. Lunch menu is pretty simple with the usual sandwiches, panini's, salads & filled jacket potatoes, I went for the healthier option and went for the egg mayonnaise filled jacket potato with a coffee, pretty good value at £7.50. Great views over the bay from the dining area, would definitely come back & visit again.

But I knew exactly what it was. And it was fabulous. I am obsessed with soup and wished I was able to bring some home with me. Service was great. They were fast at bringing our food out. I also had a lovely elderflower soda here as well.
