    We were on a day tour to the Highlands, and Loch Ness was our third -- and main -- stop. We had…read morearound 2-2.5 hours there and were free to explore and grab lunch wherever we liked. After roaming around the town and a tiring day out, being South Asian, we were craving some rice. We spotted this place and decided to give it a try. We walked in and were greeted with warm, smiley faces. The restaurant was almost empty, which made us a little unsure at first -- but we decided to settle down and order: * Chicken Szechuan * House Special Fried Rice And wow... what a meal it turned out to be! The Chicken Szechuan was absolute gold -- perfectly cooked, loaded with veggies, and coated in flavorful sauces. The House Special Fried Rice was good too -- though I personally would have loved it a bit spicier or with more veggies. The pricing was reasonable (thankfully not £17 for a single basic meal ). Service was very good -- simple, polite, and efficient. The décor was typical Chinese style, nothing fancy, just a couple of servers managing the place Overall: simple place, tasty food, good service. 4/5

    Look, lets be honest. This is a pub in the middle of Scotland on the shores of Loch Ness. It is…read morenot 5-star as in a 5-star fine dining experience. It's 5-star as in I don't think you find much better pub fare in the middle of Scotland. Fort Augustus isn't a sleepy little village - it is a touristy area with people trying to catch a glimpse of Nessy - so while there aren't a ton of options, there are a number of places to eat and I think for a less pricey meal, this is definitely your go-to. We were at the tail end of a long road trip and were headed back to Edinburgh, but needed dinner. Stopped in here as they had a couple of options for my pescatarian fiance. We split an order of mussels - I'm pretty sure we liked it but honestly, its been a while and I don't remember how good it was. However, based on my entree - I got the Chicken Escalope - this meal was delicious. The chicken was essentially just a lightly breaded chicken breast with a large side of veggies, but however they cooked this, it was delicious. Not only was it a lot of food, but it was really tasty. On top of all of that, our server/bartender was a young guy in his 20s who seemed to know everything there was to know about Scotch. He had some fantastic recommendations that unfortunately, I could not find to bring home, but really enjoyed the scotches I drank there. He was also very friendly and accommodating, and helped make the meal one of the more memorable ones. So yes, I know many of you would look at the 5-star rating and think I simply drank too much scotch. You wouldn't be wrong. But neither am I. As far as pub fare goes out in the middle of the country, this was excellent.
