We stopped here before going to John o'Groats and the full Scottish hit the spot. If not for this breakfast the trip simply would've been a disaster. The lady working the tables was very friendly however was spread thin. The cafe is small but all the tables were full and she was WORKING. Maybe it'd be nice for her to have a companion aside from just the line cook who seemed nice too. Anyway great spot would recommend. read more

The Rendezvous Cafe - Full Scottish and partial Scottish with tea - Cafes Near Me - Inverness, HLD

Lovely spot for breakfast. Cute decor, with a nod to old Hollywood cinema. Like most places in Inverness, it's small and can get crowded fast. If there's a wee wait, it's worth it. I tend to order and enjoy things which I normally would not make myself. Especially so when I travel. To that end, the full Scottish it is. This is not a light meal. It isn't nuanced. Not delicate. It's a well-crafted left-jab and right-uppercut of heartiness and flavor. I've had blood puddings as bland as can be. But not here. It's seasoned and griddled well. Same can be said for the fried haggis. I frankly love haggis in its most traditional form as plated on Burns' Night, or fried with a nice crunch on a breakfast plate. Everything else from the sausages to mushrooms, to the egg with custardy yolk, it was delicious all around. After my wife and I had a plate each, we walked the city for about 6 miles just to burn off 25% of those calories. It was all worth it. Thanks for a memorable meal and to the lovely ladies who served and tan the establishment, much love to you for the care. read more

We had a very good breakfast here whilst in town. My husband ordered the porridge and the largest bowl of oatmeal that we've ever seen arrived, piping hot and loaded with cream, bananas, strawberries, raisins and sunflower seeds. This was enough for 2 people, and, while he made a valiant attempt, he didn't finish it. I ordered 2 poached eggs with toast. The eggs were poached perfectly. Coffee was so-so, and I'd skip it next time and get it down the street where it's better. This is a little mom and pop place, and service was friendly and efficient. read more

I saw that The Rendezvous Cafe was open for breakfast, so I decided to try it out. I ordered the poached egg with an extra of avocado. The food tasted great but I found it to be very expensive for what I got. I ordered the poached egg, where I was supposed to get one, but ended up getting two because the first egg broke as it was being cooked, so I got two eggs. I thought it was a bit cheeky to be asking so much money for something so small. The staff were very nice and everything was great. The restaurant is small and not great for big groups. I sat outside and was so happy that the weather was great. The cafe was very busy, which was a great sign read more

The Rendezvous Cafe - 7-item Scottish Breakfast - Cafes Near Me - Inverness, HLD

Solid breakfast location with both a meat lover and a vegetarian full (11 item) breakfast available. It was tasty, though not Michelin level. Service was quite good, if not a bit rushed. They were full on a Saturday morning we were there. My wife had porridge which she said was quite good. I'll try it again, I think, this time going more ala carte. read more

No nonsense - check. Quick service - check. Good prices - check. Nestled in the heart of downtown Inverness, Rendezvous Cafe did not disappoint. We promptly found seating at a booth and ordered shortly thereafter. There are vegetarian options aplenty. I had a cheddar and tomato panini (£5.50). It came served with crisps and slaw. The food came out quickly and it was fresh and tasty. The portion sizes are just right for a quick lunch and you won't be overwhelmed with leftovers. read more

after a ton of research on what to eat for breakfast, my family ended up coming here. a top reason was because the beatles performed here at one point. reasons why this yelper gave rendevous cafe two star? prices were fair and portion size is decent. service wasn't excellent just average. but honestly what it truly boiled down to was the food. everything we ordered was just not tasty. we left pretty dissatisfied. we honestly felt like we could've made it better. food wasn't memorable. therefore for this foodie, my little fam bam just can't recommend it. ordered: *french toast $4.95 *6 item scottish breakfast *Belgian liége waffles $3.05 tips: *street parking *indoor seating only *cash and credit accepted *there's TV *order take out and receive 10% off *Kitchen closed one hour before closing time. *During the last hour we serve drinks and desserts. *they have a website *they are one of the top trip advisors restaurants. read more

This place was in between the Airbnb and the parking lot so we stopped by for food. It's a tiny local café so there were no open tables for us. We were allowed to order take out, which was prepared rather quickly. The food and most of the staff were great. The one exception was the waiter who took our order, he was rude when we asked if there was an open table, was rude about letting us order take out, and was rude once our food came out. read more

Great little diner in the heart of the City! Service was quick and friendly. We had the vegetarian Scottish breakfast with 6 items--it was hearty and delicious! Their cappuccino was large and a true cappuccino, not just frothy milk in coffee. Decor was cute and Hollywood/ music themed, and it was bright and airy. Definitely a great place for breakfast and lunch. read more

Came here on 24 June for brunch and had an English Brexit - I mean - Scottish breakfast with all 10 items (one can choose between 3, 6, and FULL). Despite the unsettling Scotch reception of the political happenings that morning, the mood was very uppity in this kitschy but kool diner decorated in a Hollywood theme with a film reel collage of famous actors and actresses. This was one of the best Scottish breakfasts we had after a week of them in a whole range of eateries and B&Bs (although we got lots of oogly eyes when we made our own eggs, sausage and black pudding in a hostel one grand morning). The egg, black pudding, haggis, and 1 of the sausages were very good, and the tomatoes, mushrooms, 2 other types of sausages, beans, and potato scone were above average. Service was a tad slow, but overall friendly, helpful, and relaxed. I forget what time we arrived, but they were switching to a lunch menu while we dined, so be sure to arrive at the right time for your chosen meal! read more

I was looking for some places to eat in the historical that had some sort of historical significance, or least historical significance to me, and The Rendezvous Café popped up as a piece of Beatles' history. They apparently played here back in 1960 as a part of their first ever tour, though of course the café looked different then and had different owners. (It was a dance hall.) Situated just a 15-20 minute walk from our Airbnb, this little café wasn't terribly busy when we stepped in, and it's actually very small so I imagine they get packed very quickly. The menu had both a la carte and more substantial fare. Very affordable pricing, too, with some breakfast items starting at just a few pounds. I got a cheese and ham toastie, which wasn't terribly filling but was fine as a small breakfast snack. I found the toastie to be fine but not spectacular. Considering the amount of amazing food I experienced in Scotland, this place was probably one of the least memorable, but perhaps that's because I didn't try their English breakfast, which appears to be their signature dish. The décor was cute and kind of Old School Hollywood, with a fantastic robin's egg blue color scheme and film motif. As a breakfast destination, this place is more suited to those seeking a snack or light meal, and not necessarily one who is trying to dry out copious amounts of alcohol in their system. I'd say more of a 3.5 star experience. read more

Reminds me of a diner. Good fun jabs of pop culture, but the food and coffee was sub par. The Scottish breakfast gives you a choice of 3, 6 or the full 10. The items are listed, typical eggs, sausage, tomatoes, beans etc.... Not missing out on much. I did like the buttered the toast. read more

Rude, horrible service. Waited outside because of the "wait to be seated" sign. No one attends to us for a good 10 minutes. We see empty tables, proceed to walk in and we get stopped by a lady who tells us to wait outside. Couple of minutes later, a guy comes and asks if we have a reservation and for how many. We say two, he tells us to leave our bags by the door and points us to a table. We leave our bags, and then he suddenly changes his mind and says the table is "too big for just two" (it was a tiny booth but whatever), and tells us to wait until a table of two leaves. We see PLENTY of other couples seated in booths so what the hell? We take our bags and leave. Disgusting service. read more

Was looking for a morning caffeine fix & surprisingly enough, there weren't 100s of Starbucks around.... the ONE time when I needed them The tourist office recommended Rendezvous Cafe & thank goodness they were open & ready for business Several diner-like tables already filled w/ customers - food looked like it had tons of good diner-greasy-spoon potential & had we not been on a time-crunch, would have stayed for sure - maybe next time Flat White - not strong but decent & held me over just right. Staff was super nice & coffee was delivered super-quick! Overall A-OK! read more

Very cool place, stopped in here in a pinch and don't regret it. Soup and sandwich we're both delicious and filled me right up.

Best Full Scottish Breakfast! By far the best breakfast we've had after 1 week of ordering around Scotland. You could actually taste the black pudding. Meats were excellent. If anything could improve, I'd say the toast, but it was hard to finish the meal AND toast, so we just ate the main. We had the full 10 items, could have ordered the 6 item. read more

Arrived off the overnight sleeper from London and it was well worth searching out this place for breakfast. First rate coffee and generous portions of tasty cooked breakfast. Very customer focused - the friendly staff catered well for my wife's dairy and wheat allergies. This is a place to enjoy, not to rush. We were so impressed we came back for lunch - they do takeaways too. read more
