Pinemarten Cafe - Highland

At that point, we decided to leave before being charged for the car park. While we understand the need to give the chefs a break during busy times, we were the only customers in the restaurant at that time, and it was a day when the gondolas were not running, so the cafe was unlikely to quickly become busy. The server could have spoken to us when we first arrived, or the kitchen's closing times could have been displayed somewhere in the restaurant. We will not be returning and do not recommend this restaurant. Instead, try one of the small, independent cafes nearby.

During our mountain biking excursion at Nevis Range, we decided to grab lunch to go at The Pinemartan Cafe. The ambiance was pleasant and the cafe was nicely decorated. However, the prices for the prepackaged sandwiches were exorbitant, especially for a basic pickle and cheese sandwich as shown in the photos. The restaurant at the summit offers better value for money, but keep in mind that you will need to purchase a gondola ticket to reach it.

Absolutely terrible! We had reserved tickets for the gondola and decided to start our day with breakfast before heading up the mountain. We had looked at the menu online and it seemed perfect for our three kids, with a good selection at a reasonable price. When we arrived at 9:30am and asked for the food menu, we were met by two very unhappy looking staff members who pointed to a sad display of dried scrambled eggs, haggis, and one lone sausage, telling us "that's all we have, we're not serving our usual menu due to a weekend event." While we understand that situations can change, this place should update their website and train their staff accordingly! Unfortunately, our meal ended with us spending £17 on the last four croissants they had, as we didn't want to drive back down to Fort William in search of food. Avoid this place at all costs!

We’d stayed in the hotel (excellent and so warm) and came down for breakfast. A good choice of large Cobb breakfast or smaller rolls. Staff were friendly, and the service was quick and efficient. Also very dog friendly which is always a bonus.

What a dire experience Was passing and called in for a bite fool me for not checking trip advisor Rubbish service and food well horrible soup was cold and in edible due to the amount of pepper in it we got that refunded sandwich was also horrible there was food coming out and going to the wrong tables Staff were worse than useless and then they charge you for parking so you self a favour keep driving this place is a HELL HOLE
