Cafés · Invergarry
A roadside stop on the way to the Nevis Range or Loch Quoich that's worth pulling in for, especially with a car full of hungry children. It's a small, cosy room with tables tucked alongside shop shelves and a porch terrace looking out over the green, so on a dry day you can let everyone spill outside. Free parking, buggy access and high chairs make the stop-and-go easy. The fry-up and big pots of tea come recommended, as do the soup-and-toastie lunches and a proper spread of cakes; there are vegetarian and vegan choices too, and prices are gentle. The owners keep up cheerful banter with locals and travellers alike, and their friendly dog usually comes over to say hello — one parent called the welcome their favourite of the whole trip. Being small, it can fill up at peak times.
