Cafe Chocolate

Cafe Chocolate is hardly vegan friendly but was the best option amongst a town full of meaty pubs. The best I could find on the menu, beyond a plain baked potato (there is a beans and cheese option) was the vegetable soup. The server promised me that it was made with vegetable broth, hence vegan. The soup was tasty and they subbed oatcakes for the bread. I also ordered a pot of tea. All together it was a nice, hot meal on a cold, rainy day in the Highlands. I would like to see more vegan options beyond a bowl of soup but I was glad to find anything in this small town.

The service was slow but the server said they were short staffed. It certainly appeared to be true. Also, the cafe only accepts cash so be prepared. The ambience is quiet and soothing with small tables and comfortable lounge chairs if you get there early enough.
