Outstanding tapas meal. We arrived on the cusp of service ending for the afternoon, but were greeted warmly and served quickly. Excellent fried green tomatoes, squid, and goats cheese parcels. Faultless and lovely walk after around the walled garden.

We had been told to try the Walled Garden after a disappointing start to our evening elsewhere. My friend had messaged them on Facebook to see if they had availability and Jon the owner had responded quickly to say that there was and he had booked us a table. We arrived at just after 6pm and we were welcomed warmly. We weren't quite ready for food, but they were happy to serve us drinks until we ordered just before the cut off time. The food was all delicious and around the table there was a mixture of tapas items which we shared and my husband ordered a burger from the specials board. It was all lovely and felt very fresh and the crispy gnocchi was a star dish. Reluctant to get back to our campsite nearby due to the weather conditions, they kindly let us stay at our table whilst they were clearing up and we were glad to meet Jill, Gilbert and Gabriel working that evening. We had a fabulous time and could not have asked for a better last night on our holiday. Its just a shame that we didn't really get to see the garden in the daylight because from the glimpses we saw, it looked beautiful, but if we are in the area again we will come back and will recommend to family and friends also.

This restaurant was perfect! We chanced upon it, hadn’t booked, had had a long winding drive across Bealach Na Ba and were keen for a bite and a coffee. The staff could not have been friendlier. The menu was diverse and great quality. The garden provided a beautiful outlook and was lovely for a wander after lunch. Worth booking ahead but we were treated very hospitably, as were others whom we observed to arrive unannounced.

We were revisiting a place we had loved 10 years ago, and it did not disappoint. The garden has grown in that time, and the restaurant is still cosy, good quality food, and a wide range of menu for a big or small appetite. The walled garden doesnt have updated information, so you are taking a big chance going all that way on the offchance, so its better to call and book, to avoid disappointment.

The place is gentle and worth a walk around the garden before you enter. We had dinner after arriving over the top into Applecross. The sat at said it was 147kms, the reality was it was 690 metres. We’ll worth a visit for Scotlands answer to Tappas. The creamed haggis was to die for. Mackerel was fresh. A delight to sample lots of Scottish dishes. They say 3-4 dishes per person, I’d recommend 3 unless you’re really hungry. Puds we’re a bit disappointing the deer we saw on the way back to our B&B finished off the lovely evening.

Visited the walled garden about 7 years ago and was keen to return as it was amazing! I have to say after reading some of the reviews and thinking no this can't be right. Unfortunately I have to agree with some of them. I am not sure why the menu that is pushed is the tapas, in the highlands of Scotland. I could understand if it was Scottish dishes, but it was a total mishmash, it didn't make sense. The tapas was okay, some of the courses cold, some fine, nothing amazing. Toilets dirty. Staff friendly enough and a beautiful setting. £72 for the food and 1 glass of wine, far to expensive, £8.50 for patas bravas (not very well cooked boiled potatoes). I hope the restaurant listens to the reviews to improve, I've read some aggressive responses. It should be the no.1 place and it could be again. But get back to Scottish dishes, reduce your very expensive prices and make sure the meals you cook are warm and delicious. I did message the walled garden saying I was disappointed the table I had booked was not booked when we arrived, luckily it was quiet enough. I received a very rude, sarcastic response back. Poor show from the person responding, "these things happen, we can't be perfect all the time" hence my urge to write a review more so. So looking forward to this but it wasn't great.

There are really only two restaurants in Applecross itself. This one, and the inn. I was really looking forward to a lot of really wholesome fish dishes , but was disappointed to find only a linguine of fish and chips on the mains menu. So we had to buy tapas. They recommended 3 to four each which was correct. They were very tasty, fresh however, even the friendly staff, wonderful garden does not justify £8.50 per tapas, nor does a pudding such as cheesecake or two scoops of ice cream with Tia Maria and espresso. The local beer was £6.50 a head, lovely on a hot day but £1.50 more than the pub. A short meal for two with four beers was £102 which was way too much. Town for fresh seafood would have been 35% less. So thanks guys, you were welcoming, including a funny email reply, but the prices cannot be justified.

Should get an extra star for the freshness of the ingredients. We had the small plates - spoiler - they are not that small. All the dishes were lovely with the deep fried gnocchi especially good. Best bit for me was a simple Caprese salad with home grown tomatoes and basil. Applecross tomatoes! Beautiful. Beer was also local and lovely. The care and attention required to produce such a gorgeous meal and service in far flung Applecross is quite something. The team should be really proud of this wee gem of a place. We’ll definitely be going back.

A lovely wee hidden treasure! Absolutely love everything about this little restaurant. My wife and I shared 4 of the “small plates” with a portion of chips. These were; crab salad, pork belly, calamari and squat lobster. Each one was delicious! The service was really quick as well and the staff were lovely. Had a nice wee family feel. We also had a cake for pudding from their specials, toffee and banana cake. It was perfect and so moist. Price wise, I couldn’t believe the total when it came. I honestly expected it to be double the price. Based on the quality and being used to city prices. Honestly would come back here in a heartbeat and would highly recommend

We asked if they had cheese and biscuits which were not on the menu. The waitress kindly went to enquire and they made us up a platter which also had fresh strawberries and sliced apple. They didn’t need to do this but we very much appreciated it and it shows they put their customers first. Food is first class and service A*** Highly recommend a visit.

We visited this restaurant as part of our NC500 trip. The beautiful garden is so welcoming and just made me happy, especially after the breath-taking bealach na ba drive. We ordered hot & cold salmon with salad as a starter, it was presented well and tasted good until I realised there was a live slug in our plate . I was so shocked and just felt sick, crying too as I can't believe it has to happen to me. It ruined the whole experience. We were not charged for our order, but I didn't touch my food; I even couldn't look at it as all I can imagine is that slug. I hope this will be a learning experience for them to wash their greens well... And for customers to inspect their food first? No salad for me for a long time, for sure..

The gardens are beautifully kept & luckily it was a beautiful day so we roamed around taking lots of pics. We were greeted nicely & we sat at a lovely table, it was quite busy. My husband and I had a superb & tasty lunch followed by a coffee and Icecream- not expensive then we meandered towards a little gift shop which was delightful. All staff were very pleasant.

...with delicious coffee and cake... It's all so pretty, and the little Potting Shed shop is great! Loved it!

Applecross is just a stunning place and I'd strongly recommend eating at the Applecross Walled Garden. We had a lovely evening meal and popped back for breakfast the following morning. Super-helpful staff and the setting is delightful.

Arrived without booking on a busy day as apparently the Applecross Inn is closed on a Tuesday. Car park overflowing and a damp drizzly day but food and fabulous staff made up for that. Tables sanitized and chairs and the customers looked after. Scallops fabulous as they were on our last visit 2 years ago. Smoked haddock chowder with homemade bread wonderful and managed to squeeze in sticky toffee pudding too. Bliss

Great food, the scallops were to die for, so good came again the next day for breakfast. The only word of caution is that this is a premium restaurant and does come with a premium price tag even for takeaways!Having said that, I’ll be back for more!!

We just spent a week in Applecross and took every opportunity to visit the Walled Garden for lunch or just tea and cakes. The Victoria sponge is the best ever! The gardens are the best I've ever seen them.

We came here for breakfast on a beautiful sunny morning, and sat outside with our 2 dogs. The setting was lovely, set within a walled garden. We opted for 2 scottish breakfasts which were faultless, good quality ingredients cooked really well. We had a wander around the garden after breakfast and a look about the on site shop which had some lovely bits. Would definitely return if in the area

We had breakfast here twice over the weekend, and dinner on Saturday night. The service and food were outstanding. Really friendly helpful staff, the food each time we visited was delicious. Will most definitely be back next time we make the trip up.

The WHOLE EXPERIENCE of the walled garden is as always 1st class...Have been and ate the most delicious food many times.. for several years...served by nothing but the BEST WELCOME AND SERVICE..ESPECIALLY enjoyed at our good friends wedding..6yrs ago this August..which was held in the garden..All 4 of us!! SPECIAL memories indeed made even more by everyone at the walled garden...TRULY sad to read this review...that they would discriminate...simply NOT TRUE..my husband is an avid "Biker" and over the last 25yrs+ we have arrived by Motorbike and Car enjoying FANTASTIC HOSPITALITY..Life is too short too base you decision to visit the Walled Garden on this negative review...SEE YOU ALL IN SEPT 2021...Look after you and keep doing what your doing ❤Debbie & Neil Murray

We have eaten at the Walled Garden many times over the years and have always been made to feel extremely welcome. The food is always first class whether it's a snack or an evening meal. Looking forward to eating there again in August 2021

We managed to get a table here on a Tuesday night at the beginning of May. It's such a beautiful location and great to see they use produce from the garden in their menu. The staff were so friendly, it was a lovely evening and they went above and beyond for the customers who were sat inside hoping to get a table in the sunshine. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

I spent two days on lovely Applecross, staying at Hartfield House hostel which doesn't do meals. So I took my dinner, breakfast and lunch at Applecross Walled Garden, just a short walk away through the woods! Staff were friendly, food good and the ambience in the heart of a working/growing garden was a delight. A real home from home for me as a gardener missing my own veg. garden back home in Cumbria at this greenest time of year. I saw neat rows of saladings in the raised beds, so perhaps there was already some early produce in the crab salad I had. (The crab itself might have been caught by the restaurant owner, who it seems is also a fisherman).A really special set-up to come across, especially in such an out of the way part of the world. Another good reason to return to Applecross...

They don’t want anybody on a Motorcycle!! We arrived and told we can sit outside in the cold ! All the tables inside booked - that was a lie. As we paid and left a group of walkers arrived and seated inside. I asked them if they’d booked - no ! So if you’re a biker and want to be treated as a second class citizen- it’s the place for you !Coffee and cake expensive but good - will we ever go back no chance !! Disappointing people have this snooty attitude!
