Chez Roux in Highland

My wife and I visited on the 18th September for a meal to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. The Cullen skink for my starter was beautiful and my chicken main course wasn't bad either. My wife enjoyed her meal as well. 3 courses for my wife and 2 for me plus 3 drinks cost just less than £70, very good value for the quality of the food. The staff were very nice as well, we were given a champagne cocktail on the house because it was our anniversary. Would definitely recommend and we will be visiting again next year.

On our 3 week trip touring Scotland, there were two dining experiences that were memorable for their disappointment and this was one of them.I had Lobster after some persuasion from the waiter and it was quite delicious, but what preceded it and followed it was just OK. The dining experience overall was inconsistent in terms of poorly trained staff serving the table which created confusing and awkward moments throughout the evening, the quality of the food and the presentation.We stayed overnight at the hotel. There was a pretence about this restaurant that overshot its delivery and this was further noticed the next morning when the breakfast presented in the same dining area turned out to be underwhelming both for its offering and service.

Firstly I must say that we are not high spending overnight guests. We have a fortnights holiday twice a year in our holiday home 7 miles away. When out walking we love to drop in on Inver Lodge Hotel for coffee and on two or three occasions, stay for lunch. We particularly enjoyed the Michelle Roux sample platters. Our average spend on each lunch visit would be in the region of £100.The staff have always been very welcoming.We visited yesterday. We had heard that it was no longer Michelle Roux. I introduced myself to the manageress who was new and started to explain what we do. Immediately she said "well I have never seen you before!" I let it pass and asked if we could have coffee and biscuits. The reply was "you can have coffee but no biscuits". We sat down and a very polite waiter brought us coffee and biscuits!We went back again today with the intention of having coffee and then returning for lunch. At 11.45 I asked if we could have coffee. The rather abrupt manageress looked at her watch and said "we are not open to the public yet" and walked away. We also walked away and left, never to return. I know they won't miss our relatively small spend but I feel the manageress could have been more diplomatic in saying that she did not want us. That's a shame as the previous manager could not have been more welcoming. Good old Scottish hospitality!

Das Pilzrisotto war in Ordnung. Aber der Hummer, die Languste und der Kabeljau waren überkocht. Das kriegt jede Imbissbude besser hin. Der Koch hat wohl zulange aus dem Fenster geschaut, denn die Aussicht ist wirklich das einzig Lohnende.Viel Ete-Petete beim Personal, aber dass man zum Languste essen ein Tuch zum Hände säubern braucht, weiß man dort scheinbar nicht.

We booked for a celebratory dinner as a party of 6 and weren't informed until last minute that they could no longer fit us in. On explaining that this might harm their local credibility the booking was reconfirmed and the evening went ahead as planned. . . up to a point.Service was excellent. But when we asked for pre-dinner drinks we were handed a rather limited list of cocktails (no prices on display : mostly whisky- or gin-based). Two of our party chose a vodka/coffee concoction which was pleasant enough if rather underwhelming (three mouthfuls at best which failed to warrant the eye-watering £14.50 charge per drink).The menu was heavily weighted towards sea-food - mainly salmon. As a result five of us chose steak - only to be told that they had run out of steaks and could replace with lamb shank instead). We asked for the lamb to be served with sauteed potatoes and vegetables (which would have accompanied the steaks) rather than polenta. After some initial confusion we eventually received our lamb dishes.On the positive side, the lamb was delicious and more than plentiful. On the negative side, two sprigs of broccoli and two tiny, baby potatoes hardly constitute an adequate accompaniment to any meat dish.Overall impression - quality rather than quantity is all very well, but why scrimp on vegetables that are a fraction of the overall cost of the meal? And pricing of cocktails needs to be seriously revised - or at least warn your punters they are about to be ripped off before they order.

We were reticent having read the reviews but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt.....WRONG! Food not even average, staff friendly but untrained, no welcome, trying to be 5* but struggling to reach 1*. Lacking effective management.

At the end of a very long day, was looking forward to eating in this restaurant. Had booked some months before and was advised to book for the 6pm or 8pm sitting. We booked for the 8pm sitting. expecting a lot of people there. The wait after we arrived was long and when we were eventually shown to the restaurant, (circa 45 mins after 8pm, there were just 2 other people in the place. We eventually ate our meal after 9pm. £16 for a small piece of salmon and literally 3 carrots and 3 asparagus spears, (peas were advertised, but they did not have, so said they had put extra veg on the plate!!!!) was not good value for money. This meal was the biggest disappointment of the holiday. We did not hang around for desert.

I was a bit hesitant as to how good our dinner would be after reading the mixed reviews on TA, however I was very impressed with the quality and taste of the food we were presented with. It is expensive to eat here but it isn't that cheap to eat elsewhere in Lochinver either. What you get here is very good food, excellent service and an amazing view. We enjoyed it so much that we have booked again!

We were staying in Lochinver for three nights and needed somewhere to eat in a town with limited options. As we had had a great meal on our earlier visit we made a booking, which proved to be a little challenging as the first time offered was 1830 - really too early for us. After we arrived our B&B owners rang at our request and told them it had to be later, so 1930, our original preference, suddenly became available.We arrived on time but had to wait for our table, a nice one near to the window with the view of the harbour. My Partner received her drink straight away as she had ordered in the Lounge, but I had to wait quite a long time for a wine list so that I could make a selection and then more time to get a drink, despite the dining room not being full.We both had 'seafood chowder' as we were in a fishing village. The dish had plenty of seafood, but chowder (as in a thick seafood soup) it was not, although satisfactory, despite that hiccup. I had Mille Feuille as a dessert; again it was not as we understand the dish. I think that the hotel had delusions of grandeur without the knowledge to carry it off. Quite expensive and not comparable with the competition in the village, where we had real seafood chowder at less than half the cost.The service was OK, but nothing startling.

Salle de restaurant très agréable mais cuisine finalement assez banale pour des prix en haut de la fourchette

Hotelrestaurant erinnert an einen Speiseraum in einer Senioren Residenz. Plastikuntersätzer wie im tiefsten Ostdeutschland. Zumindest war das die Deko auf dem Tisch. Essen ok, alles andere war wenig ansprechend. Der Kellner der alles vergisst und der Andere läuft rum wie in der Kneipe um die Ecke.

Nous avons dîné par hasard dans ce restaurant.

ich hätte nie so ein restaurant in dieser wunderbaren einöde erwartet. super 5*-service. sehr nette bedienung. wunderbares essen. noch besser ist nur die weinkarte. und das beste an allem ist der ausblick!

Varied and tempting menus. But do you know there are inexpensive & delicious light snacks served in the bar until 6 in the evening?

we had fish assiette, delicious white wine - pic poulet beauvignac . ling fillet, cheeses, grouse- yum, lemon tart. alcohol is expensive

Das Essen und der Service sind gut. Einmal wurde das Deseert falsch gebracht. Die Sicht aus dem Restaurant ist spektakulär.

Parto dicendo che la location è strepitosa.

One of the finest restaurants in the North-west, the Chez Roux gives a unique experience for an excellent hotel in Lochinver village. Situated on the hill behind the village, this restaurant has great sea views and a short walk over the hill behind has one of the most iconic views of Suilven.

We stayed at the hotel for three nights, so ate in the restaurant several times. Very nice atmosphere - not stuffy like many good restaurants - the staff were very friendly and efficient, and certainly not intimidating. Great choice of food (inspired by Albert Roux of course), and mostly using local ingredients. Its not a cheap place to eat, but certainly top quality food, and great to eat dinner watching the sunset over the harbour at Lochinver.

We stayed over night and dined in the restaurant. The hotel & restaurant staff were lovely, the hotel was clean and comfortable, however we felt that the hotel was dated, the main entrance was drab & unwelcoming. We stayed beginning of June, yet there were no garden chairs or tables to sit out and enjoy an evening drink and take in the view. The evening meal did not meet expectations, it was above average but only just. For breakfast I had the worst porridge ever, unfortunately the eggs benedict was smothered in a very rich heavy sauce which totally overwhelmed the dish. Inver lodge Hotel and the Chez Roux restaurant have the potential to be excellent, but unfortunately they have rested on their laurels and been left behind.

This was the third time we have eaten here, with a 6 year gap between the recent visit and before. It should be a real treat being pampered with high end service and food and the fact this was our third visit, means we appreciated the previous two very much. It's gone downhill. The tables were not clean, where have the table cloths gone? I watched the head waiter prepare a table recently vacated and he cleaned the crumbs from the table onto the floor with the back of his hand, then put the silverware down. I don't expect to see that. Service was friendly but not high end, the small details missing and I've eaten in many fine restaurants over the years. The food ranged from stunning to disappointing. We left feeling robbed for the first time and it made us sad. Please fix!

Beautiful food, beautifully prepared and served by wonderful people. Service like this is often not found these days.

Had a bar lunch, a few days later we had afternoon tea, both meals were very tasty and great presentation. Recommend the bar meals which are served all day. The afternoon tea was served in the restaurant which has great views over Lochinver.

We have come across Chez Roux restaurants in other hotels in Scotland and have always enjoyed any meals we have had there.

Price was a rip off for the food and the experience we got. Staff lack basic knowledge and training. Food was bland and just got plonked on the table with no explanation. When asked what something on the plate was I was given a blank look and no answer.

Era un poco demasiado exigente Sí, señor - no hay servicio de sir. Prefiero más amable con los chats. La comida era demasiado salada para mí y algunos era un poco caótico. La ubicación es simplemente impresionante, con vistas al puerto y en días claros el mar azul es tan relajante.

A very good restaurant serving excellent food. Albert Roux's signature dishes for starter followed by well cooked and presented main courses. Everything you would expect from a top class restaurant with views and excellent knowledgable staff as well.

There are even vegetarian options and everything is made from fresh local produce. Portion sizes are generous, and appreciated by the hill-walkers and fishermen. The coffee is great, by the way!

A gem of a restaurant. Spacious dining with an excellent three course dinner is a treat on the tastebuds. Service was excellent and Nick is a great host and all his staff were brilliant. From the outside this hotel looks very 70s so certainly not...

A más de £40 por una comida de 3 platos, además de la recogida de vino del sumiller sugested de 30 libras por cabeza para una copa con cada plato, nos preguntamos si nos hizo sentir como si estuviéramos en relación calidad-precio.

Whist y el restaurante del hotel se parece a un joven unidad del delincuente desde el exterior, el interior está muy bien amueblado. Fuimos a almorzar y, por desgracia, eran los únicos comensales, aunque esto no permitir la mejor mesa en el restaurante con vista a la bahía. Ambos tuvimos la elegante pescado y patatas fritas que eran excelentes. Sin embargo, (mi culpa por no haber leído el menú totalmente) me quede atónito cuando las 40 libras bill llegamos a encontrar me cobraron £9.50 por una copa de Rose y casi 6 libras por una botella de cerveza, y también un 10% de cargo por servicio. No volveremos.

Mi marido y yo visitamos Inver Lodge Hotel para el almuerzo semana pasada. Sólo había otros pocos huéspedes incluyendo una fiesta de Iarger. Nos ofrecieron bebidas. Elegí vino blanco que no era de mi agrado posiblemente porque no estaba bien relajado. Pregunté por el hielo y refrescos que mejoró considerablemente. Pedimos el menú y pregunté si podría tener el 'carne mejilla" que había en el menú fijo razonable de £16,95 por 3 platos. Al final me dijeron que era posible. Nos sentamos en una mesa pequeña en el bar y formuló observaciones sobre las vistas desde el restaurante pensando que podría disfrutar de ellas durante nuestra comida, sin embargo, nuestra comida fue servida en la mesa pequeña de bar que habíamos elegido para las bebidas. La carne era precioso pero la porción pequeña.

Esto iba a ser la delicia de la semana para nosotros en unas vacaciones de senderismo en Loch Inver. Primero la acogida no fue el mejor y estoy confundido a este día como lo que pasó. Había reservado una mesa para cuatro tres semanas previamente...

the Inver Lodge Hotel looks like a prison, but inside it is warm and comfortable and the view over the bay is delightful.The food at lunch is really good, i always order the Roux Express, which serves all courses on a 4 compartmented plate, a sort of static lazy susan. The soup is extremely good, and the battered fish extremely fresh and light. Lochinver is a long drive from Inverness, and i would not make a special journey unless you are a keen walker or trout fisherman, but if you do pass through i recommend the lunch highly.

Dinner mit MenuDie Vorspeise smoked panna Cotta eine einzige Katastrophe !Hauptgang fisch zum suchenDessert Käse gegen Aufpreis von 10 Pfund winzig

We visited on a wild, wet, windy day in May with our 2 year old for lunch. The lunch menu was nice and the food was delicious. The reason for the average review is that I would NOT expect a 5 star establishment to get the bill wrong - tried to charge us the full price for our son's lunch. Also really not keen on service charges...... 10% added to the bill for 3 of us......Overall the food was good but I don't think we would visit again.....

Have been meaning to call in for lunch for ages, as we have previously enjoyed delicious evening meals at The Inver Lodge Hotel. We ate with friends and we all had something different from the menu. The food and service were superb and we would thoroughly recommend eating here. In summary a great lunch at a vedry reasonable price. The RouXexpress is a great combination meal.

We had lunch in this restaurant in September, for a business travel to Scotland. The view from the dining room is excellent, and the food very good: we ordered a salmon pie with potatoes and a lemon tartle delicious. Price is not very cheap, but you are treated like a king!

We visited Chez Roux which is in Lochinver - not obvious from the address! Service and food were excellent . It was a fixed price £42 per person excluding drinks and wine so quite expensive but it was a holiday treat. Most other diners seemed to be residents at the hotel. Very quiet - nearly more staff than diners? A bit of subdued music might have been nice but we were well looked after and questions were answered. We had nibbles, canapés, starter, mains (good choice) dessert and coffee or tea. Be aware that 10% service charge is added to the bill so don't double tip! A good place for a special celebration.

We had lunch here on our recent trip to the west coast, The food was very good and the hotel was lovely decorated. I had the Roux express, 4 small course served at once, the lemon tart was to die for!

We were so pleased to discover a Chez Roux restaurant in the North West of Scotland, and although the food was excellent, the service was very poor. The hotel itself is a concrete eyesore with no atmosphere, although the views from the dining room are beautiful. Our meal was very good but seriously marred by the service - lack of knowledge of the food they were serving and how to serve it. Surprisingly the food did not however, fully reflect its location, and is a very short table d'hote menu.

A fantastic Chez Roux restaurant that is simply different class!Wonderfully attentive staff make the experience a joy.Starting with drinks and canapes; the dining experience here was faultless.The food is absolutely top quality with imaginative displays and tasty ingredients.My girlfriend's wild mushroom soup was the "best soup she'd ever tasted," while I had the most perfect steak after my pike mousse starter!Also, the views from the restaurant - overlooking Lochinver harbour - are wonderful.

Chez Roux, at the Inver Lodge Hotel, is simply exquisite. After trying this restaurant the first night of our stay at the hotel, we couldn’t resist eating there each evening throughout our stay. Head Chef, JC’s a la carte and daily menus consistently whetted our appetite and even after a few evenings, we were still spoilt for choice. Chez Roux overlooks the harbour and its large patio door style windows make for a wonderful view of the seals and free-roaming red deer, not to mention the glorious sunsets. The staff, throughout all parts of the hotel were absolutely delightful; polite, helpful, courteous and professional without being stuffy. We are fortunate enough to have dined at Michel Roux’s restaurant, Le Gavroche many times. It is our favourite restaurant and our benchmark for any other restaurant. There were some welcome similarities at Chez Roux and the standard of food was a good runner-up; something which we have not said about any other restaurant we have visited. The scallops and belly pork were so delicious I broke my normal rule and ordered the dish again and although the scallops were scrumptious, it was the slow-roasted belly pork that took star place. Their soufflé is also worth a mention, it was as light as could be and converted me to a soufflé fan. We enjoyed Chez Roux so much that we are planning another visit again this year but this time with a group of friends. Can’t wait but diet first!

The restaurant has a stunning view over the harbour. The food is excellent, imaginative & well prepared. The staff friendly. If you are staying in the hotel it really doesn't make sense to go elsewhere
