Station Road
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Imaginative and thoughtful cooking on the edge of the famous loch."
Overview
In a great spot for working up an appetite with a stroll along the edge of Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal, Station Road is located in the luxurious Lovat Hotel in the village of Fort Augustus. Contrasting with the country house ambience, the restaurant goes for a stripped-back Scandi look, with natural oak and green fabrics reflecting the landscape. On the food front, the kitchen delves into the regional larder to produce creative, modern dishes, starting with locally foraged chanterelle mushrooms with black truffle and pumpkin in various guises. Main-course halibut is matched with sparkling-fresh mussels, Jerusalem artichoke and a big umami kick from seaweed and dashi vinegar.
