Table Manors in Highland

This is one of our fave restaurants ever! Chef is superb! We have visited many times for the set menu and also tried the wine pairing. We are always super impressed by the flavours and excitement of each course. The black pudding bread is the best in the world haha! Decor isn’t quite fitting the ‘fine dining’ description but it’s certainly unique. Perhaps a warmer, more intimate atmosphere would add to the ambiance and general impression. Service can be a little hit or miss, sometimes takes a little while to be noticed or receive drinks including top ups and last time we visited we couldn’t understand the waiter very well as he had a very strong accent. We also found the restaurant very cold and had to keep our jackets on which was a shame as we had dressed up for the occasion. We would LOVE if there was some sort of shuttle service to the city centre which would allow all parties to enjoy the gin/wine pairing. 5 stars because the food is to die for and with little tweaks this could be the best dining experience in Inverness.

We were lucky enough to dine here whilst staying at the Castle. To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect before arriving, being more of a burger and chips person I thought this might be all a bit too fancy, with small portions etc. I couldn't be more wrong! The food was fantastic, we had the 3 course menu with wine pairings and every dish was amazing and I left feeling completely full and wanting to return as soon as possible. The staff were always on hand but never there when you didn't need them, perfect in my opinion. I cant recommend this restaurant enough to anyone that wants a quiet meal where you leave feeling completely spoilt.

Dined in this restaurant while staying at the hotel. The restaurant is based in its own building, pleasant environment. Food is outstanding, awesome blend of textures and flavors. Service is good without being overbearing. Pricing is reasonable. Portions tend to be on the small size, thankfully one can ask for a second portion of bread.

I was here with my family on Wednesday evening and what a great experience it was. The food was amazing we all had the 5 course menu with wine and a few extra wee courses thrown in. From start to finish every course was executed to perfection, beautifully presented and amazing flavours really top notch. The word hidden gem is banded around on this site far too much but this is a HIDDEN GEM cause it's kinda hidden haha. I shall be spreading the word top work chefs. Only 1 wee niggle was that the wines were not really explained by the waiters, didn't bother me at all but would round off the amazing service. Many thanks Keith x

We had a meal booked along with our stay at the castle manor and can’t say we were disappointed, excellent service from the staff providing snacks prior to our meal while we decided on our choices. All courses were amazing but in particular was the monk tail and scallops and you’d expect to pay 3 times what was stated.

Our group enjoyed two lovely meals in this restaurant and congratulations to the chefs for producing such delicious and beautifully presented dishes. Very reasonably priced for the quality. Slightly unusual in the the choices are between tasting menus without A la Carte options albeit possibly to make the whole offering manageable.

The food is very good and it shows that the restaurant has ambitions. However, the wine package selection was straight out bad with small glasses of ok-ish, wines served at bad temperatures. On top of that, the staff had no knowledge in wines and especially not in these.

Second visit to table manners and again another splendid meal The work the chefs put in to create these dishes deserves much applause . I’m spreading the word to try get this place on the culinary map,where it truly deserves to be

We had yet another fabulous meal - this time with friends who were astonished at how reasonably priced the tasting menus were. We opted for the full 6 course menu although with the amuse bouche and various other bits and pieces it was closer to 8 courses I think. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted superb but the lamb in particular was outstanding and the dessert with white chocolate and even caramac was out of this world. Our friends left saying they would spread the word in London about this gem of a restaurant.

We had an impeccably presented 5 course dinner, including drinks, for £50 per head. That’s exceptional value for money considering the quality. Adventurous and delicious, portion sizes just right, and good service. My only criticism is the rather odd name, which almost put me off booking in the first place - but I’m glad I did and will no doubt be back.

Had the 5 course dinner tonight. Every course was amazing. From the little nibbles to start, the amuse bouche then the fabulous 5 courses. We also had the wine pairing which was so good. The knowledge of the staff, service and food were second to none. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning. Lucky enough to call this a local restaurant.

My husband booked this for us after reading about the restaurant in a guide to Inverness and what a fabulous find. There are 3 menus to choose from 3,4&7 courses (I think) we decided to have the 3 course at £30 per head , the alternatives at £40 and £55 were also good value. We also opted for the excellently priced wine flight at£12.50 for 3 glasses of curated wine to complement the food . The food was excellent and the venison an exceptional dish beautifully presented and balanced. I also enjoyed my salmon starter and my dessert The dessert was very light and interesting Nick had cheese which was good although he’s not sure he likes pickled walnuts! I would recommend going here if you are in the area for a good meal out . If you are celebrating or just fancy treating yourselves . Go you won’t bedisappointed. Just one point We had a slightly tricky journey through the woods on the way there. We came out a different way which was much better so if you’re using google beware!

As a surprise for my wife I chose the Table Manors restaurant at Achnagairn for her birthday and our wedding anniversary dinner. I thought it a fitting venue as we had our wedding at Achnagairn. We live in Inverness so we had to take a city taxi either way which was approx £22.00. The restaurant itself is set within the grounds of the estate in one of the lodges and looked very nice from the outside, nice fresh decor and a warm welcome from the staff. We chose the 7 course meal with accompanying wines..... it was a spect occasion after all. I can honestly say it like to singles out one of the courses and say it was my favourite however each course was exemplary in its own way and the accompanying wines only enhanced the dining experience. Fantastic in every way.... we spent the week following or night there trying to remember when we had finer food and better wines. Chateau Mon Dèsir in Mauritius came close as it had exquisite service it is Michelin star restaurant however Table Manors as far as both my wife and I are concerned can not be beaten. We have dined is some wonderful places far and wide on our adventures and we found the best practically on out door step. No photos im afraid my wife informed me it would lower the tone of the fine establishment so you’ll have to go a experience Table Manors for yourself.

This was an excellent meal! The staff were friendly and generally competent - although some of the younger ones need a bit more wine training. Saying that the wine pairings chosen by the sommelier for the tasting menu were brilliant. The food was well cooked and the portion sizes were perfect so that it wasn't until the end that you felt replete. A very enjoyable experience. I would be very happy to eat here again.

My spouse and I were staying at the nearby lodges, which include a family style kitchen for eating in, but went to Perfect Manors one night. We had excellent service from a very inexperienced but eager crew. We found the menu very highly limiting; one could choose a 3 course, 4 course or 7 course dinner with no other options. Normally, being up in years, we generally split a dinner but that is not an option here. We chose the 3 course dinner, for each of us,and were truly delighted with the quality of the food presented. It was absolutely first rate. This is NOT a place you would go for a quick bite or a burger or fish n chips, nor would you take picky kids along, but it is a place you would go to be delighted.

Warm and friendly welcome, fascinating menu and well-researched wine list. Our choice for a farewell dinner for 8 after a wonderful week in the area could not have been better. Relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere, sensational dinner choices and delicious well priced wines. Great value for money and the best quality dinner ever experienced in the Highlands.

Das Restaurant ist ganz schick eingerichtet und der Service sehr Aufmerksam und angenehm ohne aufdringlich zu sein!Die Speisen sind nicht nur liebevoll und mit Stil angerichtet sondern schmecken auch Wahnsinnig gut (5*)!Das Personal aus der Küche versteht sein Handwerk und ist für mich ganz speziell (komme selbst aus der gehobenen 5* Gastronomie) ein absolutes Highlight!Alles in allem ist die Symbiose zwischen zuvorkommenden Service und Exzellenter Küche sehr gut gelungen!Chapeau!

Without doubt the best restaurant in the Inverness area for me.We went for the Sunday lunch and all 4 of our dishes were irresistible. For the main course I had the Sunday roast which at first I was wary of, but had total faith after tasting the quality of starters and even just the bread. There was no need for the roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding because everything already on the plate was perfection.The panacotta desert was gorgeous as well. Interior of the place, the service, the quirky characteristics of the place was all fantastic too. Couldn't recommend highly enough and we will definitely be back.

I was staying nearby in the lodges after a wedding and was a bit dismayed why there was such a big gap in timing of reviews on TripAdvisor. So we ventured up and in.Well I'm glad we did.Food was great. Top end presentation and range of flavours. Service was 1st class and friendly. We made a few usual requests and they couldn't do enough to help and make our evening special. I eat in London alot and this was very good value for the quality.

Once again Table Manors has blown us away. The staff are very gracious and answer any and every question we may have regarding the menu. The presentation is always exquisite, the flavours divine and we always leave knowing if we want to go out for a fabulous meal that Table Manors will be our choice!

Went for our anniversary and had a beautiful meal with excellent service, would highly recommend it.

Treated my wife to an anniversary meal here. Let them know that in advance and when we arrived there was an anniversary card on the table and a complimentary glass of champagne each.The food looked and tasted amazing. The service was first class too.My wife chose the wine match which matched a glass of wine to each course and it was good value too at under £20.We left feeling full up too.We had the taster menu at £45 each. Worth every penny.

Great food, great setting, great service, great prices, great decor, in other words, this place is great.

Uitstekende keuken die in schril contrast staat met een gebrekkelijke bediening die bulkt van de fouten. Waar was de maître d'hôtel om zijn team te corrigeren en aan te sturen. Ongezien!!!

I have eaten at this restaurant about ten times and it is by far the best place to eat in the Inverness area. Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere and service is fantastic. Tonight we dined with my 11 year old son who said it was the best kids menu ever. Great wine list, love how every time we go (we are lucky and live in Beauly so not too far) the menu is completely different. My husband and I love dining out and this is the place to go! Love it.

Ein Restaurant der besonderen Art, kreative Einrichtung, super tolles Essen und tolles Ambiente. Ist empfehlenswert!

We went after reading TripAdvisor opinions and really liked the place. We chose the three course menu and had a great time. The atmosphere was very nice and we loved the food. I recommend it

Una cena perfetta sotto ogni punto di vista. Qualità degli ingredienti, presentazione, cortesia, tranquillità dell'ambiente. Eccezionale l'agnello, superlativi i cioccolatini della casa serviti con il caffè. Assolutamente consigliato!

Breakfast served at this establishment was Buffett style,which would have been satisfactory if the lids were kept closed on the food warmers!Basic things like melon , was less than ripe and yoghurt was watery in texture!As for the toast.... someone needs to learn what colour and texture toast should resemble !Not the greatest start we have had to our day!!!

We were looking for a special location to celebrate our Anniversary and hit the jackpot with Table Manors! Found on the beautiful Achnagairn Estate just outside Inverness, it is a modern restaurant that takes advantage of the world class local produce. Starter, main & dessert all completely faultless - and absolutely delicious! We went on a Sunday night so it was quite quiet, but even when busy I think its a perfect place for couples to enjoy a quiet escape. We will be visiting on a regular basis!!!

Delicious three course meal from the Bistro Menu. Lovely touch having a note of the ingredients local producers front of house - a real local gem! Quality ingredients prepared to a high standard and presented carefully into artwork. Desserts were fantastic - perfect size and balance of flavours to complement the meal. Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive, checking on our drinks and thoughts on our meal. I'd definitely recommend!

Only had breakfast here, but the breakfasts are lovely. Very good buffet with hot foods and cold foods. They bring made to order eggs, toast, and coffee/tea to your table. Great value!

We went two weeks ago for the first time and the meal was delicious, the service was great and very friendly. So good, we're going back this weekend!

Enjoyed an outstanding meal - quality ingredients (featuring local produce) presented to the highest standard - the chef and team excelled in their preparation and presentation of meal, served by friendly and helpful staff.

No customer welcome by staff.Walking into a void.We felt as if we had intruded on their private lives. Oh, and by the way, tomato juice, a staple in most retaurants/bars was not available. Lose 2 stars. The food was excellent but the delay in our wine arriving was lacking in the extreme, I had to remind the staff a second time (lose1 star). There was only one other couple in the restaurant so I would expect the staff to be more attentive to our needs.Decor - not my cup of tea- however very clean and tidy. (Gain one star) . Price wise - not too bad- ( beef was to die for- well done chef ( add one star)) - front of house - learn some customer relation skills and this place could go far.

Wir haben das Restaurant nur zum Frühstück besucht.Die Einrichtung ist sehr modern und freundlich. Das Personal ist nett und bemüht. Man merkt aber, dass man gerne einen gehobene Standard anbieten will, dies aber nicht umsetzen kann.Da fehlen mal die Buttermesser, mal hat man als Unterteller die Teller für den Toast. Das Büffet war übersichtlich, aber lecker. Frühstück ist halt in Schottland anders. Es war möglich statt der "scrambled eggs" auch "poached" oder "fried" zu bekommen. Die Teebeutel müsste man sich umständlich aus der Teekanne fummeln, um dann festzustellen, dass es keine Ablagemöglichkeit gab. Es sind einfach die Kleinigkeiten, die fehlen.Das normale Essen und den Service können wir nicht beurteilen.

Hubby and I stayed at Perfect Lodges and had two lovely dinners here (in addition to the included breakfast that was also good). We did not expect the food to be of the great creativity and quality that it was. Service was excellent and prices were reasonable. What an unexpected delight!

My husband and I visited for our wedding anniversary and opted for the tasting menu. It was brilliant. From the ham hock terrine "amuse bouche" through to the sublime desserts each individual dish was fabulous and a work of art in its own right. Very reasonably priced for the quality and a good selection of wine. We've been before and thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back again.

This was our 2nd time eating here and could not fault it. Food and service was first class and excellent value for money. This visit offered a 2-course meal for £24 and 3-courses for £28 :) The food was really well presented and was delicious again. It is a smallish restaurant with about 12/15 tables. Very friendly staff. Great for when staying at the Achnagairn Lodges

My partner and I visited Table Manors last weekend, we chose it because of its good reputation however it let itself down. The food was absolutely amazing and I couldn't fault it at all but the service was horrible! We arrived and several waiter staff walked passed without saying hello until we eventual stopped one and said we had a booking. The restaurant was only half full but it seemed like a massive inconvenience we had arrived. Like I said the food was lovely but the waiter staff were rushing around with no smile on their faces clearly hating their job. At the end of our meal the manager arrived at our table and demanded to know how we booked and then wanted to see my email confirmation. I have never been treated so rudely! I don't even understand why it was such a big deal the restaurant wasn't full! Is it normal to print out a email confirmation for a seat at a restaurant? We'd booked on the phone a week in advance! Low and behold the bill came and it was a little expensive but it was what I would pay for the food quality but I wouldn't have expected such awful service for the price and quality of the restaurant. There was also a big song a dance because we had 15% off vouchers but it was sorted. I am really disappointed and I think the staff need A LOT more training. I'm afraid to say I will never go back despite the food being amazing.

We were staying at Achnagairn castle for several nights, so Table Manors was our local. It is smart, modern, well decorated and comfortably furnished and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The menu is very limited; ok, that's the nature of the place, but some of the dishes on offer seem a bit esoteric for these parts. Fine for subtle tastes, enticing flavours, provocative aromas, but you can't help feeling it's all a vehicle for the (very good) chef to show off his creativity. The main problem, though is that when we visited, there were only two or three couples. The feeling of isolation and the echoes, and the long silences spoil the otherwise welcoming ambience. Perhaps if Table Manors extended its menu a bit, with more choices, even adding a couple more vegetarian dishes, then it might bring in more customers. However, all that aside: Food excellent, service smooth and friendly, and value for money very good, with a particularly reasonably priced and well chosen list of wines.

This is an interesting restaurant. Situated as part of the destination venue of Auchnagairn House and Lodges, about half an hour drive from Inverness. Open to the general public but only for lunch on Sundays. Lovely, ambiance and with outdoor seating areas. Food was good quality, with care taken in the presentation with a rather modern twist on the traditional sirloin and Yorkshire pudding. Some aspect of the service were not so good. Drinks arrived promptly but followed 30 mins later with bread (freshly made) but only moments before the main course. The menu required interpretation, e.g. "Lemon" being a sweet choice and we did wonder if we were to be served a whole lemon. Coffee was good. The atmosphere lacked any buzz with so few diners, an area the restaurant is trying hard to address and hopefully will.

Restaurant a little tricky to find if you do not know the area. Presentation of food & attention to detail was amazing. However, the staff had to be reminded to bring some of the drinks & the vegetables were slow to arrive after the main course was placed on the table. Particularly liked the use of ground elder in the sorbet served with the most delicious lemon tart. Would definitely go again if back in the area.

What a delightful gem! We had a fabulous celebration of flavors-- all an explosion of joy to our palates!

I was part of group of people invited to a taster event and I have to say that we had an amazing evening. The place it's self is set in a stunning location and the decor is perfection. I love the modern elegance of this place. Bright pops of colour mixed with Lush opulent fabrics and clean white walls. The staff were excellent, warm, friendly and attentive. The food itself was outstanding and not at all pretentious as I had feared. The flavours were beautiful and really made me want to book a table for the full experience very soon. I can't recommend this place highly enough and the journey out of town is worth it entirely for a fantastic dining experience. Thank you again table manors for such a great evening.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Table Manors. We had the five course tasting menu which was very enjoyable and priced, very reasonably, at £45.00. We also had the recommended wine with each course, again very reasonably priced, at £17.50. Every course was beautifully presented. Menu consisted of....beef cheeks, smoked trout, lamb, which was cooked to perfection, local cheese, at a supplement, and a deconstructed cheese cake. Lots of different flavours on each plate. Highly recommend.

Visited with my wife and 2 friends. on a Thursday evening. There were one;y 2 other couples eating so the atmosphere was a little subdued. We had a good table in front of a bay window. The young lady waitress was very polite and obliging. The food was interesting, tasty and well presented. The only criticism I have of the food was that the vegetables that were arranged on the plate very decoratively we're rather cold. I could not decide if it was because the kitchen had taken too long to artistically decorate the plate with the vegetables or that the draught coming through the appallingly fitted windows had cooled the food. This is not that old a building but the quality of the window frames is appaling. There is no point fitting double glazed units in windows that are so badly made that there are huge gaps in the frames where a cold wind blows through. I would certainly eat here again but they must fit new windows as a matter of urgency if they are to succeed in becoming a popular restaurant in the Inverness area.

We enjoyed the amazing taster menu for our wedding anniversary. The food was gorgeous and the accompanying wine complimented it perfectly. Service was spot on. Perfect for our special occasion

So glad to have discovered this place, right on our doorstep! Beautiful surroundings, fantastic food and friendly service. As others have commented, the quality of the ingredients is superb. We went for Sunday "lunch" - but because they serve it from Noon until 7pm we were able to go at 5pm (which suited us far better than going at lunchtime!)I had scallops to start, and my partner had salmon - both excellent. The sirloin main course was divine, as were desserts, and the pricing is very reasonable, considering the quality of the food and the standard of cooking and presentation.All in all, a great experience, and thanks to Cheryl for looking after us. I've already booked my next visit......

Cheryl met us with a warm greeting and attended on us most professionally all evening. Her help in suggesting the taster menu after a bit of discussion was most appreciated and we were definitely not disappointed. The preparation, presentation and cooking was superb and all courses could not be faulted in any way. We fully intend to return and will be recommending Table Manors to all our family and friends. Thank you very much,

The quality of the ingredients used was superb. Each course was very carefully constructed using local produce. The venison simply melted in your mouth. The serving staff were very good. They were careful to ask if we were ready for each course and knowledgeably answered our questions about various ingredients. Table Manners is a truly fine dining experience in the heart of The Highlands.

We've just returned from the most wonderful weekend in bonnie Scotland. On Saturday night we were treated to the tasting menu which combines Highland flavours with a contemporary twist. Using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, each well judged portion size arrived beautifully presented. The already infamous neep and haggis soup includes crumbly nuggets of delicious crispy haggis instead of croutons. The venison was tender and cooked to perfection and the scallops were sweet and nestled on a bed of creamy risotto – inspired. Pudding was a classic combination of chocolate and rasberry with a smooth fondant contrasting beautifully with delicious fruity scoop of sorbet.We returned for a very light lunch the next day before departing to the airport. It did not disappoint. Again beautifully presented, contrasting textures and flavours and excellent value.Would thoroughly recommend. Michelin star quality in beautiful surroundings plus friendly and helpful staff. I wish we lived a little nearer so we could become regulars. London is fairly hefty hop even for a restaurant of this calibre, but we hope to return again very soon.

We got married at Achnagairn 8 years ago and we decided to try the restaurant and visit again. We had a fantastic experience - we had the 5 course tasting menu with paired wines. Exceptional food with great flavours and attentive service. We look forward to returning again soon.

We've eaten here on a few occasions now and have always been impressed. The food is superb, the staff are lovely and the prices, for the quality, are incredibly reasonable. We tried their new tasting menu on our last visit and it was fantastic. It's a tough gig running a restaurant out of town these days so well done for providing a top class restaurant on our doorstep.

I've been to many fine dining restaurants including a good few with Michelin stars both here and abroad. This place has some brilliant cooking, good service and a lovely atmosphere that matches some of the best I've been to. Yes, I'm sure if you want to be picky you can find a few things to fault. I can usually do so even in the two Michelin starred places. But if you are finding fault here I think you might be being a wee bit unfair.2 chefs who have won young chef of the year working with a team who are pulling out all the stops. And doing so at a price that is almost unbelievable. I think they are £20-£30 a head less than any comparable place I know of. If anyone knows differently please let me know because I will be desperate to try it.If this place was in London or Edinburgh folk would be queuing out the doors to get in for such a fabulous value meal. Seriously give it a try. We had the tasting menu and I had wonderful paired wines with mine and it came to just over £100. We could have had a great meal off the al a carte for little more than half that.I'll be back. No doubt about that.

We visited the restaurant as a family and as a couple in the months that led to our wedding at Achnagairn. Having experienced the restaurant from it first opening the service has improved and perfected on every visit, getting better and better.The restaurant has a lovely relaxing atmosphere and the service staff offer an unobtrusive yet attentative service.John the food and beverage manager has superb knowledge of wines and fantastic at making recommendations for different courses with his passion for hospitality shining through.The chefs are creative and deliver delicious food using high quality produce. Presentation of food and the taste of all of the dishes are superb with great portion size too.Every time has been an absolute delight and we can't wait to return again! It would be our regular restaurant if it was in Glasgow!A must to try if you live locally or visiting the area!

The setting and decor is absolutely ideal for a nice up market restaurant but unfortunately the food and service isn't quite there YET. It's a newish place so can expect a few teething issues and when we saw "fine dining" plastered all over the website kind of knew what was coming. We found the food to be way too over complicated and generally imbalanced with certain things over powering the main part of the dish and a lot of it completely unnecessary i.e. Dehydrated cabbage leaf?? They are clearly using very good ingredients but as the title says, trying way too hard and not using them to their full potential. The service was a bit inconsistent, slow, mix ups with being asked for drinks orders twice, asking for the bill about 3 times before having to go to the bar to pay as our taxi was outside. I think we would return for another visit and hopefully they just need a bit of time to get the place spot on and pull the reigns in a little.

First time visiting Table Manors on Thursday evening and I can guarantee I will be back! Absolutely loved everything about it. Top quality food paired with friendly service, what's not to like?!My friend and I ordered the new tasting menu, each course was presented so beautifully it was almost a shame to eat the food! I loved the Black Isle blonde soup and the venison main was cooked to perfection.I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys fine dining but even more so I'd recommend Table Manors to those who have never tried fine dining! It is certainly an experience not to be missed!

Lovely restaurant. I was in a party of 7 on wed 21 dec. The staff were fantastic and the food was amazing. Would defo recommend this restaurant to all family and friends. Will defo eat there again

Myself and my husband booked a table here we had a festive lunch the food was spectacular in presentation and tasted out of this world, it was executed to a Michelin standard the service was fantastic (think we have found our favourite restaurant I can't wait to return to table manors!

This was second visit the first being on opening night. Sensible sized and balanced menu. Artistically presented food which is more filling than it looks and is excellent quality.Very courteous staff.Decor is unique style in birch and well done.Well worth a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent well thought out menu and great food. We had a three course dinner and could not fault any of the dishes served. Well worth a visit.

Visited for Sunday lunch with friends. Very surprised that we had only just heard about this place. Menu was not overly large but had a good selection and most options covered, Sunday roast was excellent, served beautifully and with an exquisite side of vegetables. As the main starters and desserts were also excellent. Good portion size and well priced. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Second time eating here and the service was very good. Food was excellent and well prepared and a decent selection of wines. The staff go out of their way to make it an enjoyable experience. Had a very good breakfast buffet in the morning.Not cheap but worth the money.

I posted some thoughts about the new Table Manors restaurant when reviewing Achnagairn Castle Hotel near Inverness but realise this should really have gone under restaurants rather than hotels, so here's a bit more on Table Manors which I'd thoroughly recommend and was perfect after a hard day's fishing on the River Oykel an hour or so's drive to the north. The enthusiastic welcome and the funky use of colour are what hits you first. After a plethora of greys and neutrals in most London eateries, it was great to enjoy a funky, eye-popping mix of natural textures - silver birch trunks, exquisite little flower arrangements of foliage and pink roses on each table and zingy lime green paired with maroons and fuchsia pinks. It was a welcome antidote to the overdose of ultra-trad chintz and tartan you get in other Scottish country house hotels. The restaurant is justly proud that both their ambitious accomplished chefs had previously won Scottish Young Chef of the Year awards - no surprise there, judging by the quality of the food. The head chef even came to our table to describe the ingredients and how he had put the different dishes together - the service and A good deal less expensive than comparable restaurants in the home counties, the local specialities were particularly good, especially the venison, steak, scallops and smoked salmon.- I had the latter marinaded in lime and beetroot plus splodges of gorgeous creamy vegetable accompaniment and home-baked bread with (I think) pumpkin seeds. The splashes of bright colours and textures made it look like a work of art on the plate. One friend had a velvety haggis and neep soup which had the richness and robust flavours of haggis itself. The scallop dish was superb but best of all was the rare venison with roasted vegetables - an autumny taste with a delicious sauce. The portions were generous - a good selection of mixed vegetables and triple fried chips that were worth a detour. My friends' fillet steaks were melting and although I was so full I couldn't manage a pud, the coffees arrived with home-made fudge in little treasure boxes, so I got my fix of sweetness. A friendly welcome, relaxed atmosphere and splendid food.

Had breakfast here whilst staying in one of the lodges. It wasn't very nice at all. The décor is terrible - behind the wood stuck to the walls, you can see the painted plasterboard - and the unpainted plasterboard at the bottom where you would normally find a skirting board. Cheap finishes throughout and a buffet breakfast only.

The meal was brilliant, I had the venison which was cooked to perfection. As for a romantic anniversary dinner, the restaurant decor is a bit quirky and bright. The location is fine but not great view. But the service and meal certainly made up for it, compliments to the chef

Great addition to the Achnagairn estate with good food and wine rarely found in the Scottish highlands. Breakfast was none too shabby either

Welcoming friendly staff, interesting and varied menu. Chefs are brilliant - my venison was perfect and was accompanied by a variety of interesting and perfectly cooked vegetables which made the meal one of the best that I've ever had. The chocolate ganache dessert was a thing of beauty with a variety of textures and tastes. Very impressed and I look forward to returning.

I have just had a meal at this restaurant and cannot praise it highly enough. The service was great and the food was both beautifully presented and delicious. This is by far the best place we've been to in Inverness and will definitely be returning.

Es el restaurante al lado del castillo y de los lodges.Tienen varios menús y carta.Buena selección de vinos.El pan es lo que falla.Servicio muy atento.

Sehr gutes Essen, freundliche Bedienung. Die Beschreibung in der Karte gibt nur eine Idee von dem was tatsächlich auf dem Teller erscheint. Das Ergebnis war sensationell.

Beautifully decorated restaurant with friendly staff. Food was imaginative,tasty and well presented, with the Truffle Macaroni rated extremely highly. We visited at a time when the Early Bistro menu was available.Only suggestion for improvement would be more signage within the estate to the restaurant.

We visited Table Manors at the weekend because we were in the area, we married at Achnagairn Castle in January this year so it was lovely to return to what I think is the best place in the world (in my opinion). My husband started with She sells Seashells - King scallops with apple, hazelnut & Cauliflower and beetroot which he said was very nice . I had Haggis, neap & tattle soup with toasted haggis, something I would never have tried but was delighted I did as it was very nice, to follow I opted for the Truffle Macaroni (my husband hates macaroni so is never made at home) well it was absolutely divine, creamy, tasty and probably has millions of calories !!! My husband ordered the Allday Break-fish, Monkfish, spicy fish cakes & black pudding with a side of onion rings which he thoroughly enjoyed, he followed with Eton Mess whilst I had a coffee. We will definitely be returning to Table Manors. They believe in escaping the ordinary and the decor is certainly not ordinary. Well worth a try.

Enjoyed our dinner here very much. The waiters were very helpful and friendly. Food was excellent, would definitely recommend. Great decor too.

This was our second visit to the restaurant as we wanted to see if it had improved since our disappointing first visit. From start to finish it was excellent . We had the Fine Dining menu this time and can thoroughly recommend the ham hough starter , and the lamb which we both had . We had excellent service both from the Manager and lovely Gillian who could not have done more for us. Gillian is a class act . Such a pity that there is not more local interest . We live nearby ,and so being foodies ,it is fantastic to have a restaurant this quality in the vicinity . I love the decor !

Staff were lovely and attentive...the food was gorgeous and the place was decorated to a high standard and very clean. Lovely portion size and beautifully presented. We had the bistro menu and had a starter and main with drinks and the bill was very reasonable at £45 x thoroughly recommended (would also book as even on a Sunday it was quiet busy)

We had dinner as staying at the Achnagairn Castle and as it is few min walking distance. They say to the hotel staff they are fully booked (and guests from the hotel should be sure to get dinner there!) while they keep tables empty... The menu has few choices. It not typical scottish. Staff is kind.

Had a fantastic meal here and will definitely return. We had the fine dining dinner menu and it was very impressive. Loved the clever use of words to describe the dishes - the kitchen staff were clearly having fun. The early evening bistro menu also looked really good. Service was good too. The prices were excellent considering the quality.

Ate here last Sunday evening and had a great overall experience.All of the staff who attended to us did an exceptional job and were very friendly and polite throughout. One of the girls asked what the occasion was and I said it was my Wife Eileen's Birthday. a few minutes later she returned with a lovely Birthday Card, a great touch.The food was tremendous and we will be back again in October.Thanks to all.

晚餐選擇不少, 而且味道都很好. 不過當晚有點吵, 因為有人在慶祝生日, 很多小孩. 不過餐廳不是在城堡那邊, 要走五至十分鐘才到, 但總比開車或坐巴士回城中吃飯方便. 要預約.

Amazing food, wonderful welcoming staff & great attention to detail. Fabulous! The venue is well presented and is quite intimate.

Fantastic relaxed unhurried atmosphere. Great choice, locally sourced menu. Bistro and fine dining choices. Clever imaginative names to the dishes - best favours and meal tasted to date :) You must go

First visit - haggis, neeps and tatties velouté - delicious! Perfectly cooked and tender sirloin. No rush, relaxed evening. Family dining with me also thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

What a lovely restaurant 🍴 fantastic food, superb service. Would definitely be back again. Would recommend.

If you're staying in one of the lodges on the Achnagairn estate, this is the perfect place to eat and have a drink in the evening. A great addition to the on-site facilities.

Part of the Achnrgairn Castle Hotel, this restaurant would be worth the trip even if you weren't at the hotel. The locally sourced menu features both bistro and fine dining fare, depending on how early or late you're dining. We had the bistro menu. It's full of fun familiar items -- with a twist. A burger or fish & chips is hardly the same old same old. The "Chef's whimsey" is also a treat. (You have to ask :) Deserts such as the Eaton mess is light and decadent at the same time. And the home made ice cream is a must have.

We had an amazing meal here - so much so that our visiting friend told the chef it was the best meal he had eaten in Scotland! An absolutely stunning location and food & service to match - you must try it :)

Had an amazing time staying at the Perfect Manors Lodges and just walking across to the new restaurant Table Manors. The food was amazing and our service was excellent. I loved the decor as well. Next time I'm in Scotland I will definitely be back to stay at the Lodges and dine there! My cousin and I are still raving about the food! I credit her with the awesome find.Julie V. - San Diego, California

Tasteful, contemporary decor, fantastic food, couldn't fault anything. Mainly young waiting staff but all well trained and efficient. Prompt service and well priced. My only gripe would be the (small print) statement on the bottom of the menu that for parties of 5 or more there is a mandatory 12.5% gratuity added - this seems a bit out of order. Recently opened I think this will go from strength to strength if their food remains as good as we were served tonight.

The service is friendly but very clumsy: we had to remind the staff for our drinks well after the first course was served, cutlery was constantly forgotten, our kid's food was brought one hour after ordered, etc. The food is eventually ok, with good ingredients and well prepared, but trying to be fine dining without really being it.

We are local to the area and were looking forward to our first visit to Table Manors . First impressions are "Wow" as the decor is very modern and colourful . We had a nice welcome and drinks while we looked at the menu . We all found our food was ok . But nothing very special , small portion of salmon , macaroni was bland . The White wine was not chilled and neither was the water . When black pepper was requested , they took a long time to produce some . We were the first people in the restaurant for the early evening meal . For the most part our desserts were lovely apart from the fig pear and frangipani tart which was a disgrace . It came as a muffin with a small jar of clotted cream with the label still attached . Final black mark was mint tea - teabags had to be sourced from the nearby hotel ! And coffee was cold These small details are what make the difference . The restaurant was busy and perhaps the staff are inexperienced . I so want to be positive as it is on our doorstep and would be very convenient . Initial teething problems as it is a new restaurant and hopefully they will be addressed .

My partner and I, sister and her husband recently visited on a spur of the moment decision to go out for a meal. My sister had hear of Table Manors through her colleague and I had seen it on face book so we thought we would give it a try. We were not disappointed! The food was delicious, the service was great and so friendly. We met the chef at the end of our meal to give feed back which was a lovely touch. We were also sitting next to the owners, they asked our opinions of the restaurant and the food and really seemed to take on board what we suggested which was a lovely end to a excellent dining experience.

Das "Table Manors" Restaurant wurde erst vor Kurzem eröffnet und ist sehr geschmackvoll im French Stil eingerichtet. Es gehört zum Achnagairn Estate.Begrüßt wird man von freundlichem und motiviertem Personal, die stets zur Stelle sind, ohne aufdringlich zu sein und den Gast sehr gut beraten. Es gibt zwei Karten, eine Bistro Karte (geht bis 19:30) und eine Dinner Karte (ab 19:00).Das Essen von der Bistro Karte wurde ansprechend serviert und hat uns ausgezeichnet geschmeckt. Für das, was der Gast bekommt, sind die Preise normal.Ein lukullisches Erlebnis in Schottland!Vielen Dank!

Beautiful location and surrounding grounds. Period décor tastefully executed with friendly staff, public guest rooms and kitchen with complimentary evening drinks and morning breakfast supplements (aside from breakfast in dining hall). Fine evening dining at The Table Manors Restaurant (book!) with magnificent chefs, management and staff.

Excellent service and scrumptious food. Fun and eclectic decor. The new addition to the Achnagairn experience is going to be a winner with guests and locals alike. What great value for exquisitely presented plates. Could have been in top London eatery. What a find.

I ate at the Table Manors restaurant about a week after the opening and I was very pleasently surpise with the menu that the chef prepared for us. Excellent food in an intimate setting a very nice addition to the highlands

I visited Table Manors a couple of weeks ago, just after it opened. I had high expectations – the whole of Achnagairn Estate is amazing – and they were exceeded. The food was as good as any I have had and the décor worked really well. Staff are friendly, service is prompt and we came away determined to go back frequently in the future. I had the beef dish, and my girlfriend chose the lamb, both from the fine-dining menu. Food was delicious, and meticulously presented - highly recommended!

With six in our party we managed to book a table last night and we were all blown away with the cuisine. We chose the evening menu, which is served from 7pm, there is also a bistro menu for earlier diners, both excellent value for money. It was clear there was a desire to please from the moment you walk in until you leave. The service was professional and friendly making for a relaxed atmosphere. We were delighted to have had the opportunity of being introduced to our Chefs who are to be commended for their passion to prepare for us a menu showcasing the best locally produced and sourced food. Highly recommend the scallops and beef. Well worth a visit.
