Fort William is not over-endowed with great places to eat, but the restaur-
ant at this small hotel and art gallery has put the UK's Outdoor Capital on the gastronomic
map. The chef won a Michelin star in his previous restaurant, and turns out delicious
dishes built around fresh Scottish produce such as seared saddle of Glenfinnan venison
with red wine and rosemary jus.
