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

We had breakfast here and my (non-vegan) friends thought it was great. The waffles and toasties were great and service was excellent.

Pros: Very good food

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.

Amazing selection of cakes and tea!

We just happened to stumble upon this place and I’m so glad we did! Both food and drinks were great - I’d go out of my way to visit this place again

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

Vegan Hand Pies

This is an ideal vegan cafe. They have a wide selection of pastries and morning drinks, along with a few salads and entrees. The savory hand pies are a must try!!

Pros: Hand Pies, Cake

Cons: Tight space

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!

Great location

Really great to have this vegan cafe thriving in a very popular tourist location. Especially as they are very open about the ethical reasons to be vegan.
The food was good and they have a lot of different cakes.

Bit disappointing

Cute cafe that offers range of foods: breakfast, wraps, soups, pastries, cakes and mains like pasta. Has specials. We got the nozorella toastie and special curried lentil wrap & a beetroot and raspberry cake (fluffy texture, needs more jam, wasn’t tasting beetroot or raspberry). All of the dishes needed more flavour/seasoning. Presentation and portion size could be better.

(I wish HC had a better range of reaction emojis. If I’m not delighted or horrified I don’t know what to do.)

Perfect

Gezellige, kleine koffiezaak waar je ook een maaltijd kan eten. Ondanks de drukte was de bediening uiterst vriendelijk en vlot. De soep sandwich is echt een goeie deal. Bedankt!
