Tall Pines - Highland

We took a break on the NC500 route to refuel and found a restaurant nearby. With three hungry kids in tow, we were really pleased we stopped here; it was definitely the best breakfast we've had on our trip so far. The staff were fantastic, and the food was served hot and fresh. We'll definitely make another stop on our way back home.

We stopped by for a snack since all the restaurants in Dornoch were full, and we were so glad we did! The guys enjoyed delicious bacon and egg rolls, while I savored a cup of piping hot coffee accompanied by homemade shortbread, which was simply delightful—truly the best I've ever tasted. The prices were very reasonable as well.

The Tall Pines is a conveniently located café/restaurant on the A9, just before the turnoff to Dornoch if you're traveling north. It offers a good selection of dining options, with prices comparable to other nearby eateries. The service was quick and friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

My husband asked what the soup was. Waitress said it was homemade vegetable soup. Blitzed. Ok so he ordered it when it came it was bright orange, he got a bit of stale crusty bread. The soup group was far from homemade. Mostly carrots. And tasted terrible, sadly he couldn't eat it Wasted money..I asked for the sweet menu. Was told the only thing that was homemade was the Apple crumble. Blatant lies again. It was shop bought. Because I know where to purchase the exact same one. No more of your dishonesty. AVOID we wasted quite a bit of money and left hungry. Never again...

Wow this place is absolutely fantastic wish we found it days ago service was fantastic food was lovely it was so clean and we were made to feel very welcome thank you so much for our lovely lunch will definitely be back x
