Tucked away on Henderson Road, Café V8 is a right gem in Inverness. As I rocked up, I half-expected to get my motor serviced alongside my morning roll. The place has the vibe of a mechanic's garage, and I wondered if I'd be dining next to a greasy engine.

Stepping inside, the smell of sizzling bacon hit me like a well-aimed slap. The menu is chock-full of Scottish favourites, from hearty breakfasts to meat pies and fish suppers. Feeling peckish, I went for the V8 Mega Breakfast—a name that suggested I'd need a lie down afterwards.

When the plate arrived, I thought they'd served me a meal fit for a Highland giant. The sheer amount of scran was both impressive and a wee bit daunting. As I tackled the mountain of beans, eggs, sausages, and black pudding, I felt like I was in an eating competition.

By the time I admitted defeat, I was convinced that Café V8 is where appetites go to be truly challenged. If you're in Inverness and looking for a meal that will leave you both satisfied and with a story to tell, this is the spot. Just be sure to bring your hunger—and maybe some stretchy trousers.

In summary, Café V8 offers generous portions of classic Scottish fare in a unique, automotive-themed setting. It's a must-visit for those seeking hearty meals and a memorable...

Today at the V8 Cafe, I had the worst steak I have ever had the misfortune to have in my entire life. Even with a steak knife it was next to impossible to cut taking probably 30 secs to cut even a small piece of meat, even with 14 stone behind the blade.

After 10mins I decided to give up, as I was expending more energy that I was gaining attempting to eat this "meal".

I politely raised the issue with the waitress who didn't seem at all bothered by my complaint and her comment was "tuff was it". Although I didn't charge me for my cup of tea.

So to sum up, a truly appalling "meal" and terrible totaly uncaring service.

My recommendation, avoid this cafe and take your customer somewhere that has some level of care for...

This is a GEM for when travelling through Inverness. Perfect for drivers but also popular with locals and families. Breakfast was spot on, better than most hotels, just what I needed and the steak pie I got for lunch was a very nice top up for when I got hungry later on. Both very very reasonably priced for the quality. Also stopped the next day for a roll which was awesome too, bacon and black pud roll. Perfecto!!!! They also do really have a V8, looks like a Scania, was running when parked. Enjoy!!!

We had breakfast in the V8 today morning. Finding a parking place was easy in the dedicated parking place. The food was ok for the price/value (nothing special), although the coffee had a strange flavour (seemed to be instant). My wife is lactose intolerant, sadly there was no oat or alternative milk. The staff was quite apathetic - could have been a bit nicer. Honestly, based on the previous reviews and the 4.5 score I expected a better experience.

Really disappointed !!!! I was really looking forward to visiting this place but what a disappointment. I arrived on Monday 8 th August at 15.30 hrs only to be told they close at 4pm on a Monday & Tuesday no mention of this on the website whatsoever. I paid £14 to park overnight and had to have a take out meal. I was the only truck to pay for parking as everyone 1 who arrived after 4pm did not pay !!!! Will not be visiting again.
