The Wildcat

An all-vegan café on Fort William's High Street, with speciality coffee, loose-leaf tea and home cooking.

Welcome

The Wildcat is a small café at 21 High Street in Fort William, and everything on its menu is vegan.

People who eat anything like it just as much, for the coffee and the cooking.

The coffee is speciality coffee, the tea is loose leaf, and the food is made in the kitchen: toasts with inventive toppings, filled wraps, and a mac and cheese that regulars talk about. It was set up with an eye on the environment as much as the menu. The wifi is fast, there are window tables to watch the street from, and at quiet times people settle in with a laptop; at busy times it fills up. The staff are friendly.

Hidden Scotland, the magazine

Scotland, in print.

We want to show you the best that Scotland has to offer. The makers and the creatives, the enduring experiences, the evocative tales, the concealed corners. The roads less travelled that take you to places that matter. The adventures that gather you up and sweep you away. The blend of the wild and the artistic that makes Scotland what it is. We’d love for you to join us.
