Urquhart Castle Cafe

We only had coffee, no food so am unable to comment too much. Busy place with tables outside, plenty of choice of food on the menu. Happy to return one day.

We went in for coffee and rolls before going round the castle, lovely snack and staff were excellent, the lady who served us carried the tea and coffee over for us.

I had the delicious soup of the day and enjoyed the complimentary glasses of water. My husband liked his pie. The cafe was clean and had a great variety of cakes to choose from.

We only got some snacks to take on the tour bus but the staff provided a bag and napkins for us once we explained what we were trying to do. There was good selection of snacks and drinks.

Nice enough cafe with great views of the loch and castle. Disappointing that they supply drinks and food in single use disposable plastic and cups. I would have expected a beautiful place like this to be a little more eco-friendly! Very expensive too….

This cafe is the perfect place for a coffee or dessert with a lovely view at the top of the hill. After exploring the castle, we stopped by and enjoyed a delicious bagel sandwich just as it began to rain outside. The cafe offers a wonderful atmosphere and a stunning view!

After the visiting the Castle, we needed to dry out and recharge (we were not alone). We managed to share a table with two others, which was very friendly. Our hot drinks were good and made us feel better. We also enjoyed chicken wraps which were generous in size and tasty.

We’re told on arrival that the castle closes at 4, rest of the facilities at 4:25pm. Went to view the castle first as it was 3pm already and wanted to have a quick coffee after. We got inside just after 4 and got told the cafe was closed already never had a chance to have a coffee and a disappointing end to a nice visit. Wouldn’t trust the information you’re given, castle worth the visit but rest of the facilities not so much…

After exploring the castle and grounds, my husband and I decided to have a coffee and a light meal. He ordered a muffin and coffee, while I chose soup and coffee. When I received my soup in a take-out container and opened it outside, I was shocked to find a very small amount of soup inside. I returned to the counter and asked if this was the correct portion for £5.90. The young girl working behind the till apologized and explained that their policy was to only give one ladle of soup. I expressed my disappointment at the small portion for the price, and she agreed it was not enough. Therefore, I would advise against ordering the soup if you are hungry.
