A wonderful cafe, off the beaten track. With almost no information on the website saying where you are ! Style over substance - the opposite of the restaurant !

I hope you see imitation as the highest form of flattery as, when I set up my Cafe on the north west highland coast I will be basing it on your fantastic establishment! I stopped there due to roadworks (needed the loo)and loved the place. Well done!

We love stopping at Ralia Cafe on our frequent trips up and down the A9. I remember stopping just after the cafe opened and being amazed at the quality of produce and service - please keep it up, we need more quality hospitality like yours.

Hi Robin and all at the Newtonmore cafe. We have not returned up the A9 since we left last April but missing you guys as there is nothing quite like it in Ayrshire. We now live in Troon. Best wishes

I "found" the Ralia Café in May of this year and because of the positive experience decided to stop on Monday of this week en route to Strathpeffer. My partner and I enjoyed soup, sandwiches and coffee which was served up by a very pleasant young lady. We planned on stopping there on our return journey today but somehow missed the sign much to our disappointment.
I will be recommending the Ralia Café to my friends and on my blog http://myferrets.multiply.com/

An absolute joy. Understands totally the mindset of the A9er. If only every major road had one of these travelling would be a pleasure rather than a chore. Where is the next one going to be. Central belt I hope?

Yet again praise for the Ralia Cafe. I encourage everyone who reads these messages to place their own and if new to the site, drop into the Ralia when passing, for a drink, a walk, or lunch with their delicious soup.
You'll get a very friendly welcome! One staff member even referred to me as a "young thing like you" I advised her to get an eye-test (only joking) but that's the measure of the Ralia and it's staff. Well done

Thanks! A great find on the long and lonely A9. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. A great stop off on my way to Elgin.

Thanks again.

Yet again I have cause to say how good the Ralia Cafe at Newtonmore is. Nice to be able to find somewhere that is good value, welcoming where when not busy, the friendly staff have time to talk with you. Even the owner gets his hands 'dirty' so to speak. It's a great place to come to keep in touch with family & friends via the Internet. Another plus is the panoramic views. Mark this place on the map for your next visit before you go.

I cycled to Ralia from the ravages of the A9 on Day 4 of my cycle ride to Land's End. I was in pain and at a real low. Ralia picked me up and helped me face the road ahead. Thanks so much! I made it in 11 days.

RALIA IS AN EXCELLENT CONCEPT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY A FRIENDLY HELPFUL RESTING PLACE WHEN ON THE MOVE. It has everything you need. A must for all travellers and I hope many more come along soon especially near Ayr?
