The Mountain Coffee Company & Hillbillies Bookshop
The Mountain Coffee Company & Hillbillies Bookshop is a shrine to all things mountaineering and has a lazy, chilled-out vibe. It sells excellent hearty food for walkers, best consumed in the attached conservatory. Besides, how can you go past a place that sells a mars bar cappuccino, New York bagels and mountain scones?

Tigh an Eilean Hotel
The Tigh an Eilean Hotel is famous for its seafood, and offers the choice of eating in the formal hotel restaurant or the more laidback Shieldaig Bar and Coastal Kitchen bistro. The latter has an outdoor roof terrace, and serves unusual dishes such as a wood-fired pizza topped with crayfish, shrimps, squid and a plump langoustine in the shell.

Plockton Shores
This cafe-cum-restaurant sports a tempting menu of local seafood, including hand-dived scallops with lemon-and-basil dressing, squat lobster tails cooked in white wine and garlic, and a splendid platter of langoustines with paprika and garlic butter. There are also steaks, haggis and saddle of venison, and a small selection of tasty vegetarian dishes that are more than an afterthought.
