Very many thanks to Norman and all the staff at Cafe 1 for looking after us so well last Saturday evening. The restaurant was very busy so we had an earlier than normal dinner starting at 5:45. The atmosphere was great from the outset however. The young front of house team were excellent. Our table allowed a view to the kitchen pass and I enjoyed watching the, again very young, brigade in action. I was delighted to learn later that there is a strategy in place to develop young chefs year on year. Bravo. The food was excellent, bread with dipping oils, scallops and oysters to start. Mains included sirloin steak, chicken with couscous and a brilliant lamb dish. A chocolate delice and a panacotta completed our dinner. Wine and drinks well priced. A bottle of malbec and a glass of sauternes were highlights. From my limited experience Inverness appears to have a thriving restaurant scene and Cafe 1 comes very highly recommended as part of it.

My husband and I visited this wonderful restaurant last Saturday what can I say other than its our favourite restaurant and we visit every time we are in Inverness. The proprietor Norman makes you feel welcome and the ambiance is so relaxed even when every table is booked the professionalism of the waiting staff and the calibre of food produced from the kitchen staff is second to none its an absolute delight to visit.Delicious ,well done and I would highly recommend you pay Cafe One a visit you won't be disappointed.

We had a fantastic family evening at Cafe1, the food was supreme and the service was faultless, that perfect balance of friendly and welcoming, but efficient and professional. I had the beef medallions served with chanterelle mushrooms, and a pepper corn sauce from the daily specials menu. A lucky choice was to accompany that with their Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon, the spicyness of both made for a brilliant combination. Highly recommended if you want to treat yourself to high quality food, wine and service.

Une soupe immangeable car trop épicée. Je n'en aurai pas pris si cela avait été précisé. Avec des chanterelles je me demande quel intérêt d'épicer autant. Un saumon qui ne vaut pas le détour et tout cela pour 45 livres par personne Beaucoup de déception...

I always try to be kind, especially in my comments on Trip Advisor. But this evening, objectivity led me to be very critical. We ordered a soup of the day with local chanterelles. We were expecting a delicate velouté. Nothing of the sort! Without any warning, we had the spiciest soup we have ever had, either in India or in Africa. The wait staff, who were very pleasant and efficient, looked embarrassed and made no apologies. Meanwhile, the owner was going from table to table offering wine to the customers. Unfortunately, he didn't pass by ours, the only one in the room. The sirloin steak and its accompaniment were very good, although I would suggest using less balsamic vinegar which ends up altering the taste of the Black Angus. A real disappointment despite the smiles on the faces of the wait staff. You'd expect something much better for £86.

From the outside, this restaurant is very unassuming. My husband and I booked for dinner. There was only one 5.30 pm reservation available. We had scallops wrapped in pancetta with pea purée and black pudding to start and this was superbly cooked. We both then had the special of fillet steak medallions with parsnip purée, asparagus, kale, chanterelle mushrooms, potato, black pudding crumb and peppercorn sauce. When it arrived, far from being small medallions of steak, there were basically two fillet steaks! We ordered medium cooked and the steak was probably one of the best steaks we have ever eaten and the accompaniments were also well cooked. For desert, we ordered the cranachan cheesecake - and again this was fabulous! The service was perfect, they were polite, watchful of customers needs, discrete and worked well as a team. We honestly could not fault our evening spent here at all. Booking absolutely necessary.

Absolutely amazing!! Felt like I was in heaven after my meals. The staff were ALL fantastic and really appreciated when they all checked in to make sure everything was okay when in reality it was perfect! The price was just right for the quality and service of the restaurant. We were seated under starlights which was very cute and we loved the attention to detail of the restaurant. Couldn't have been happier. Food arrived very promptly after ordering and just the right amount of time in between our starters and mains. The night was lush. Couldn't recommend enough, can't wait to return soon!!

Yet again another incredible visit. From being welcomed by the owner, to the first class service from the waiting staff, the speediness of the orders coming out and the absolute top notch quality of locally sourced food….just an incredible visit from start to finish as always. We’ve been 3 or 4 times now and I’ve never written a review until now (and I should have before this) but anyone in Inverness should really give Cafe 1 a try.

Early doors meal on a Saturday. To be honest we thought the meal was expensive for what we had . Monkfish portions were small , overwhelmed by a “ spicy “ rice and bland juice. The wok meal was just ok. Cheeseboard was fine.

We only had 1 course as we had big breakfast at hotel. The menu looked amazing and would use on another visit to Inverness. Staff very friendly and attentive. All ingredients fresh and different.
