Good vegan options

We visited The Wildcat in June 2025 for lunch. We had the macaroni cheese and a mushroom and cheese filled croissant. Both were nice and it's always great to find a fully vegan place. They had lots of cakes and pastries available and the Millionaire’s Cake we opted for was delicious.

Best place in Fort Williams

Good food, slightly bland but with some salt & pepper it tasted great. Also lots of vegan pastry to choose from.

Massive disappointment

Overpriced and bland food, we had the steak and also vegetable pasties both were underwhelming and £8 each!!! We also had a wrap and a piece of cake (I can't remember which now) again bland and disappointing. Yes it's great that it is all vegan but the menu and taste of food could be massively improved especially for the ridiculose prices.

Nice!

The food was great. We had a toddler with us and the seating was a tiny bit tricky with that in mind but not a huge issue. Plus the staff were friendly with him. Really enjoyed the Mac and cheese and the tea selection

Has to be a 5

Has to be a 5 star rating
We had the Korean scramble and coronation chicken, both could have done with a bit more oomph with the spices but not complaining.
The coffee (long black & Cappuccino ) was so good, exceptional coffee !
Dog friendly too
Thank you Wild Cat

Pros: Vegan, Coffee, Dog friendly

Adorable place, great food and pastries

Such a lovely spot and wonderful food. Was looking forward to stopping here on our way out to Skye from Glen Coe area and it did not disappoint! We ate in for breakfast and took some pastries to go. Note that it does fill up fast to get there early!

Nice vegan food

The small Café offers many nice vegan dishes as a daily menu, soups, many different cakes, and pastries. It was very well visited and it was difficult to get a seat. The vegan Mac n Cheese was great, but the taste not as hearty as the smell. The sauce was not really like cheese, more like vegan cream.

Great breakfast and queer friendly

Especially their Black Forest waffles and chocolate chip cookies were really good and it has quite a queer friendly atmosphere.

Lovely vegan scones

Wonderful vegan cafe in Fort William. Not many vegan places in this area so super happy to have found this. Especially nice to get vegan scones.

When we arrived there was a queue. We were lucky to get a table relatively quickly (although the table organisation did not seem super efficient to us). We came at around 14:00/14:15 and several things were already sold out since they close at 16:00 (but still many delicious things left!).

Fantastic

This place is a real treasure. Their specialities are the tofu scramble and the waffles, but the whole menu is good and they do pastries and cakes also. Decent coffee, wide range of teas & hot chocolate. A real find.

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!

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.
