Highland vegan place!

Came across this fab vegan place while on holiday in the highlands. So many great things to choose from. I had the macaroni to takeaway and had to hold myself back from ordering cake too! They all looked lovely!

Pros: Lots of different options , Friendly staff, Lovely setting

Vegan Breakfast

I had the Korean Tofu Scramble on Sourdough which was tasty and NOT spicy. Also one of the best chai lattes I've had. A little pricey but it is a tourist town and the restaurant is very centrally located. Portion size was fair.

Pros: Breakfast! One of the few places open before 9am, All vegan

Great food, nice atmosphere, dog-friendly

Delicious food. If they offer the raspberry croissant, don't miss out on it! 🤤

They even have a small shop with vegan necessities like chocolate, toothpaste, soap and even vegan dog food. :-)

Great find on Fort William.

Lovely cafe with a nice vibe. Friendly staff save one who was ‘too cool to smile’😎
Would have liked to give 5 stars but let down by ‘mozzarella’ cheese in toastie. A few of us tried this but not keen on texture/taste.
Spicy bean sausage roll were great. Nice coffee and sweet treats

Lovely vegan cafe

So surprised to find a vegan cafe in a small town like Fort William. It’s just a shame that we were only passing through, as I would love to visit again. Very good food and a lovely atmosphere, and also really nice to see it so busy!

Pros: Great variety on the menu and great cakes, Great variety of teas, A lovely few rows of vegan retail goods

Brilliant cafe with an amazing menu

I loved that The Wildcat is fully vegan so there was no need to worry about what o was going to order and it was nice to have such an extensive menu of options. I ended up having a takeaway coffee with a cinnamon swirl and it was amazing. Highly recommend

An absolute gem

A very unexpected, and completely welcome, vegan find in Fort William. I still dream of the biscoff cake -- it may be the best cake I've ever had. The curry was also excellent. A must if you're in the area.

Fantastic Food

We were only in Fort William for two days and went to the Wildcat three times it was so good. Highlights were the tofu and mushroom florentine and the full Scottish breakfast. Everything is vegan and there's been a lot of thought put into the dishes. Really nice food, really nice atmosphere. We will definitely go back :)

Pros: Great food, Great atmosphere, Beautiful art

The only one vegan place in Fort William

Perfect bar for lunch. It should be open longer into the evening. The food is tasty and filling.

Excellent

Very friendly staff, tasty food. The place was absolutely full on a Friday morning (100% justified!) Both the sandwiches and the cakes we tried were delicious, and the portions were quite good-sized.

Nice vegan food in Fort William

We had a really good time in The Wildcat. We had some soup with a delicious wrap and some Linguini with sun-dried tomatoes and "parmesan". We really enjoyed that meal and we had some cakes for dessert, with PLENTY of options, so difficult to decide!
The place is nice, in the main street of Fort William, the Staff is very kind and they sell some vegan products.
The breakfast seemed to be awesome as well, we will definitely come back when we return to the Highlands!

Pros: Well located, Many options, Pet friendly

It was ok

Grateful for a vegan eatery in this part of the world. It was absolutely packed, which is great to see. The food was certainly ok, for me personally, it was quite bland and could have used some seasoning. The staff were busy for sure, but didn't seem too keen on all the patrons who are making it so successful. It will remain popular as it's the only vegan place in the area.
The tip was compulsory. Would have tipped for sure, but would have been nice to have the option. Nice to have vegan shortbread in beautiful Scotland

Best place in town! (and the only vegan place)

Pastries, savoury and sweet; cakes, slices, squares; mains, soup, coffees (including filter), smoothies, weekly specials…and a small grocery area, with chocolate, condiments, canned and packaged goods and household products.
Over my three days in town, I had the curry served with naan; biscoff cake, carrot cake, salted caramel cake; and the spicy bean roll - all very good. Wish I’d had time to try the quinoa & veg salad.
Often very busy - it’s popular!

Pros: all vegan

Great options!

They lost our ticket and we had to wait quite a bit for our take a way. There were no seats available as they were super crowded and don't have many seats overall. Once we got food we were very happy and everything was very tasty!
