Why call an restaurant Everest when you are the foot of Ben Nevis?
On a miserable September luch time we popped into this Indian for a warming curry, what a mistake, actually it was so bad it was quite entertaining.
The place was desserted we were seated in the centre of the restaurant which felt particularly lonely. We asked for the gas heaters to be turned on as it was so cold in the restaurant we could see our breath. The poor freezing waiter then immediatley hogged the heater and thanked us for asking for it to be turned on, how tight is the owner if the waiters can't turn heating on for themselves?
We then ordered Lamb Jalfreze (stale old lamb meat, but with enough whole super hot chillies to semi-disguise this), King Prawn Vindaloo ( you could taste the chemical dip used to prolong the shelflife of these also very old prawns), a tiny portion of Pilau rice (£3.75!!!), Spicy Naan (microwave job) and two Cobra Beers (only thing warm in the whole place!). Total £37.95, criminal.
As we picked over this dismall, but thankfully miniscule offering we nearly heated up, that is until both double fire exit doors were wedged open right next to us and a food and beer delivery was slowly dragged in and dropped in piles on the floor. We left before they had finished this slowest ever delivery. Why accept a delivery during lunch ours if it is not to come via the back door??
Very, very bad.

New restaurant in Fort William with a nice, cosy interior. The menu is not huge, but nicely varied.
We had lunch and were offered a good selection of sandwiches on various breads, plus soup and more substantial main courses.
Favorite Dish: Side order of nachos - lovely!

We Only went here because we wanted a quick snack and ended up having a right stonking Scottish breakfast. Nevisport is actually an outdoor retail store that also happens to have a bar and a restaurant as well. i was not expecting much but the food was good, piping hot and plentiful as well as being extremley cheap - well recommended if you are on a budget!
Favorite Dish: We had a full Scottish breakfast here - cheap, filling, and satisfying.

Owned and run by the fishermen and their families - the Crannog serves fresh, local fish, to a high standard.
The setting is relaxed, informal but professional. Popular - so book.
The location is on the waters edge - window seats are a premium.
See their Crannog.net website.
Favorite Dish: Anything from their own smokehouse or the local shellfish.
Good wines and breads accompany the fish well.
Summer barbeques outside are well worth sampling too.

The Jack, as called by locals, has not only the reputation as the best pub in town, but has also a restaurant upstairs, serving affordable and decent pub-food. Don't expect anything special, though...
The nickname refers to the Jacobite Bar, the pub area...

My partner and I went there for dinner because we like Scottish music so we were mainly interested in the entertainment.
We found that the food was delicious, the best meal we had in the four days we spent in Fort William.
The live show was nice too.
Favorite Dish: I had venison and my partner had salmon as main courses. Both excellent.

Very fashionable and luxury restaurant situated in the Inverlochy Castle, serves modern Scotish cuisine. Be ready for lots of spoons, forks and knives :) And don't forget about the dress code: jackets and ties are mandatory!
Favorite Dish: You can see it on the picture :)

If you want a good food with reasonable prices i suggest that you will find a restaurant with local people.
if you see a restaurant with only tourist there is a reason for that.
