Ralia Cafe - Highland

We frequently travel down A9 from Tain several times a year and stopping at this restaurant is always a highlight for us. The toilets are always clean, there is an optional charge which I am happy to contribute towards. The sandwiches are the best we have had anywhere, and the smoked salmon in particular is a delight. Operating such a fantastic facility in a remote area must require a huge amount of effort, and I want to congratulate them on their hard work.

A great location in the cairngorms for a bit of a break. Great gluten free options as well. Lovely hot chocolate and very reasonable prices.

The very opposite of a cosy cafe cold, bare, soulless, awful piped musak. £3 for a cup of tea. The latte was luke warm at best. The staff seemed stressed and disorganised maybe at the prospect of 3 coachloads who arrived just after we did. The 30p charge for the toilets seems to be optional now. We'll go to one of the nice little teashops in Kingussie or Newtonmore next time.

Disgusting stopped off for a break from driving toilets were horrible went upstairs to the cafe to get some drinks and they were charging £2.00 for a can of Pepsi or can of Irn Bru taking advantage of travellers in a remote location.

High praise for the staff at Ralia just now. They were queued out the door but continued to work with a kind and patient manner whilst efficiently serving everyone. Provided extra assistance to those who needed. Thankyou, it makes Ralia a haven on the A9!
