Best KPortal Reviews
During my road trip to Scotland - we stopped here for some rest and refreshment. The cafe cum bar was really good; it was spacious and clean. The staff was courteous and humble. We ordered latte, hot chocolate and some cake - all were awesome. Great place to quench thirst for coffee.
Arrived at 11:25 with a small baby, toddler and dog. The cafe was warm.
Sat down and took coats etc off, and began to look at menu. We were the only people in the cafe.
Server came over and then informed us that the kitchen was closed between 11:30-12, to allow the chefs to have a break, so we would not be able to order until 12.
We were offered no other options (i.e. drink/coffee and cake etc). When we asked where the closure was displayed to advise customers, the server indicated to the menu, which said in a number of places ‘open all day’ ‘served all day’ ‘open 9-5’ which obviously contradicted what was being said by server.
At this point, we decided to leave before we would be charged for the car park.
We understand giving the chefs a break during the busy season. However, we were the only people in the cafe at the time and on a day when the gondolas were off, so the cafe was unlikely to quickly become busy.
Or the server could have spoken to us when we first came in.
Or the closing times of the kitchen could have been displayed somewhere.
We had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. The cashier was rude and indifferent, and the staff was uninformed about allergens, which was concerning. We ordered a Philly cheesesteak, but unfortunately, it seemed like it had been sitting out for too long—the bread was soggy, and the cheese was barely melted. Overall, the service and food quality were lacking.
Had lunch during our visit, decent food, nice views, tends to get crowded.
Absolutely shockingly poor quality of food. Dried sausage, egg and bacon that's been sitting on the hot plate far too long. Came with dry rolls.
All of this (and a ginger beer and apple juice) for almost £14!
More experienced staff on the till would see that the food was so dry.
I love the whole area but the quality of the food and the cost was shocking.
I visited the bar/cafe/shop this week. the venue was absolutely packed with an amazing atmosphere.
We were a family of 3 with a toddler.
I honestly can not remeber the last time I met a harder working team.
The service was friendly and attentive even when there were queues of people at the bar.
The food was absolutely delicious and incredibly good value for money.
We were staying at the campsite and having an option like this nearby has made us book in again for another trip.
Wonderful team, fantastic food, amazing venue.
You could not ask for anything else.
As this is the only place at the foot of the Nevis Range to have something to eat and drink, prices aren't cheap as there is no competition so to speak. Nice & warm inside, clean (including the rest room) and staff frIendly. Nice views of the Cairngorms and the Gondola that takes you to the next level up the mountain to a cafe with great views .. with the cafe prices been pretty steep, I am only giving 3 and a half stars out of five.
A nice enough cafe but the £5 charging to get on site was ridiculous. If your parking fee can be waivered with some purchase I would be much more understanding but it just sadly adds to the overall cost.
