Turrets Restaurant in Highland

The menu includes fish, meat, veggie options. Plated with class and served pleasantly by staff. One night I had the carrot wellington which had particularly good filling of carrot, onion, and spinach. Another night had the creamy risotto with asparagus & peas. Both were very satisfying. Desserts outstanding. The Carnacrach looked scruptious but I chose poached pear for a lighter choice. Had the Toffee Cake with sauce and the smallest scoop of vanilla ice cream. I would’ve enjoyed a little more ice cream with this large piece of cake.

We booked for dinner. Chicken and bacon lardons for starter, which we were surprised to find was a cold starter. It was tasty enough though. We chose venison for main course, it was very nice but sadly the meal was lukewarm. Puddings were good, although part of the chocolate delice wasn’t available so substituted with an alternative. My white chocolate and chilli cheesecake was very nice. Staff were very pleasant and service was very quick but the overall experience was a little underwhelming, there wasn’t much atmosphere in the restaurant despite it being quite busy.

We both had the Steak and Ale pie; I had it with chips and my partner had it with mashed potatoes, and it was lovely. We would both recommend it.

The food was hot and tasty. I had fish & chips and my husband had sirloin steak. To follow we had sticky toffee pudding with ice cream and it was delicious! We would highly recommend the meals we had without a doubt.

We stayed four nights in the hotel and the food in the restaurant exceeded expectations. The Duo Beef dish was partially delicious. The prices were reasonable for the quality of the food.

Staying at the hotel for our wedding anniversary, we ate in the restaurant. Even with a reduced menu due to covid, service and food top notch. Salmon and pea/mint risotto and cheesecake were highlights. Rest was also top notch. Decent price too.

We ate here for three nights during our stay and were always saying what a good chef they must have. Menu stayed the same with a daily changing special. We tried the Venison, Steak pie, Fish and chips, Salmon, Burger. All excellent; well seasoned, nice portion size. Puddings outstanding - especially brandy basket, home make cheesecake, toffee pudding - cheese board also good! Altogether yum. (P.S Maybe lower lights a bit , repaint the white walls a warm terracotta, replace the dull pictures to give it a bit more atmosphere - it wouldn't cost much but would make a huge different and complement the excellent food more.

Food was to good quality and tasty with good selection of drinks included - our DBB includd a glass of wine and we were given a choice and a large glass each. Unfortuately the music was Ed Sheeran - it didn't go with the castle theme. The room was a bit bare and would be improved vastly by playing some medieval type music, dimming the lights and more decoration on the wall like a sword or shield to better fit the theme. The staff could be provided with a more appropriate uniform as polo shirts looked very out of place and unprofessional in a restaurant setting such as this. Staff attentive and friendly however.

One of the tastiest meals I think I’ve ever had. The duo of beef I had on 13th Feb was so delicious. The onions and the shallot rings were exquisite. It was a heavenly meal. The tomato soup was incredibly flavoursome too. Lovely service from all the staff. Thanks all.

Our food was good, not the best we had but not the worst. Wait staff disappeared - we eventually left our table and assumed they'd put the bill on the room, if they cared enough.

Quite an unusual old-fashioned atmosphere, the breakfasts were good, but a very limited evening meal menu. The food was very plain, but was quite tasty & well cooked, particularly the beef dishes.

Excellent champagne reception canapes and 5 course dinner lovely. Stephanie receptionist so friendly as was for a in green lady bar and all other staff I met .great experience

Great variety of food for dinner and breakfast. Everything was tasty. really enjoyed it. Staff was great

The furnishings have been around a while though not as long as the castle itself! Some reviews complain about the tired decor. I hope they don't replace the tables and chairs as they have character. Some of it could use a bit of a touch up, however. The huge stained glass windows dominate the dining room and are a treasure. We had a misunderstanding the first night because the waitress, a very nice teenager, wasn't aware of some pricing policies. It was resolved by the front desk without much difficulty. Nothing on the set menu appealed to me but my husband thoroughly enjoyed his salmon. I ordered from the bar menu and had a lovely meal. Everything was fresh and well prepared.

Fantastic food at a very affordable price.The dining room is beautiful and staff were very friendly and efficient

A very poor experience.. . . Onion Bahjees deep free twice....popadoms soft....curry sauce poured over dry chicken......pilau rice with added food colouring....! Nan bread flat..no ghee. One to avoid.

Best meal of Scottish fare we have had for ages. Plenty of it and well prepared for the hungry guest.

The food arrives quickly, usually about 15 minutes, and is very good indeed. I'll give you one warning though, the chef does like his seasoning, so try before you go throwing on the salt and pepper.Portions are huge, but if you ask, they'll do a smaller portion. The haggis is sourced from the local butcher Cockburns, who are very famous and extremely good. I didn't think I'd like haggis, but this is very good indeed.Out of season, the bar and restaurant are only open from about 5-7pm depending on who's on, but in season the bar does excellent lunches, you certainly won't go hungry!

Amazing meal! Delicious food, great table service, pleasant staff, lovely setting, lovely hotel. Tasty food definitely worth a visit.

Came here for my birthday dinner in the dungeon. Had two young waitresses called Emma and Beth serve us. No request was too small. All three courses were delicious and we enjoyed it in outmost privacy. We only had card on us to pay so I made sure to go back the next day to give a tip. Will back to try the restaurant.

Good, reasonably varied menu in pleasant surroundings. Service no more than adequate and food presentation basic but a good meal nonetheless. Two night hotel stay but as a result of the experience only used the restaurant once.

Steak and ale pie, more like bourgignon with s pastry hat, coldchips,

Best haggis I had in Scotland, great service, wonderful breakfast too! Kids enjoyed this restaurant too

The very best rump of lamb with confit of garlic puree I have ever tasted. You must try it, it is amazing. The food is exceptional.

Gezellige atmosfeer met leuke tafelindeling. Ruimte genoeg in ontspannen eetgelegenheid. Vooral de "Haggis Balls" zijn een aanrader. En de geweldige Sticky Toffy Pudding, niet zwaar op de maag. Voldoende keuze op de wijnkaart en een bezoekje aan de bar , na het diner, een absolute aanrader om een digestieve te genieten. Prima, deskundig en vriendelijk persoonlijke bediening.

Super - des menus simples mais de bons plats, avec un bon rapport qualité prix. Le personnel est toujours p^rêt à vous aider.

Muy bueno, muy bien preparado; el comedor era pintoresco, tranquilo y muy buen servicio. el personal no es enorme, así que no todo, pero lo hacen bien

Los menús están hechos todos los días después de las compras de ingredientes frescos y locales. El salmón estaba agotado temprano, pero esa fue la única decepción. El vino y la comida era muy buena! Una cena en un encantador entorno

we had a 3 course meal with wine very good food value for the money we sat in rear of restaurant as big windows and lots of lightgreat service waiters very good

I met a friend here for an evening meal - it was lovely, food was very tasty, we had a nice table and were not rushed/bothered - we spend the evening enjoying the food and blethering. Lovely.

The food at Turrets was outstanding. I have had haggis before, but didn't really care for it. At Turrets, they served haggis balls on mashed potatoes with a mustard cream sauce. Haggis should always taste this good. My wife had orange duck pate' and raved about it. We also had rump steak that was tender and well prepared. The menu also had pork belly that some of our party ordered and they loved it. All the portions were more than sufficient and the prices were in line with similar restaurants where we have eaten.

rest of hotel very dirty so, don't want to think of what kitchen would be like. menu dated and expensive for what they have on it. go to the local chippie

Put in to the bar area. Terrible service. Mothers day meal for 5, ordered of set menu. My son didn't like what was on the set menu, asked from the bar menu. Then when we were ordering. The waitress said were only taking orders of the set menu. I Explained that my son didn't like the set menu. She replied OK we'll let you of this time. Ordered drunk when we first arrived. I had to ask 3 time for my drink. A pint of pineapple and lemonade. After the 3Rd time of asking, I was told that they had no pineapple juice. I said OK, make it a pint of orange juice and lemonade. So I receive a half pint of orange and lemonade. Desert was cheese cake. The table across from us were eating cheese cake when we arrived. Nice size of slice and looked good. We ordered 4 servings, and to say wee were disappointment was an understatement. The wedge that we all recieved was an inch wide at the Thick end if that. But did taste really nice. No atmosphere at all, no back ground music or anything. Really disappointing. Won't be going back

Beautiful food! Fish and Chips delicious. Best steak I have tasted. Eton mess fabulous, the Apple crumble and sticky toffee pudding delightful and the breakfasts are amazing!

Good menu choice, excellent quality, good service and friendly atmosphere. The steak was delicious as was the home made soup

We booked an overnight stay, and arranged to have dinner with my husband's sister and her husband who live close by. That was no problem for the hotel to have 2 residents and two non-residents dining.Prior to their arrival we went to the bar in the hope of having a glass of Champagne or Cava, as we had just learned our daughter had become engaged. Sadly, the barman told us only had full sized bottled which was too much for the two of us. We settled for a beer and a G&T to celebrate. Very annoying then to discover there were 20cl bottles of champagne on the breakfast menu the following morning. This would have been exactly what we wanted the night before, for a simple toast, before out wine with dinner.Anyway, our relatives arrived and we were shown to the restaurant. There was a very impressive menu, and we all looked forward very much to our food. What a high standard it was.To start my husband and I both chose Battered Haggis Bonbons with Mustard Mash and Green Peppercorn Sauce. These were delicious. Our relatives both opted for the Grilled Goat's Cheese, with caramelised red onion and dried cherry tomato tart with balsamic dressed leaves. They ate heartily too and we liked the crispness of the bread we were served too.The other diners were two separate young couples, and we felt a little like we were intruding on their meals as they seemed put out that anyone else had come to eat. Being four we obviously had chat going on, but we were not loud by any means. It might not have seemed like they were so put out, had there been other diners.For main courses my brother-in-law and I opted for the Baked Scottish Salmon Fillet with crushed baby potatoes and creamed leeks. My sister-in-law chose the Roast Chicken Breast with fondant potato, haggis and oatmeal crumb, and red wine jus. My husband had the Slow Braised Feather Blade and Ox Cheek with creamy mashed potatoes, butternut squash purée and rosemary jus. All the meals were beautifully presented, extremely well cooked and piping hot. We were all impressed.Only my husband was tempted by dessert, as we were all full up. He chose the Creme Brûlée with Butterscotch Sauce and Vanilla Ice Cream. That was the only extremely disappointing dish of the night. Either the waitress has simply picked it up in the kitchen before the top was blow-torched or put under the grill or the chef doesn't know how to finish off a Creme Brûlée. My husband did mention this to the young waitress, but his comments seemed lost on her, and were ignored. I'm also a Creme brûlée fan and would have been SO disappointed had I chosen this soft and soggy topped one.With a bottle of red wine, a coke, 3 teas and a double espresso our meal came to £119 for 4. 2 courses are £20.95, and 3 courses are £25. We'd looked at the lounge bar menu, and surprisingly the restaurant was not any dearer.We just loved Tulloch Castle and enjoyed our dinner very much, and the breakfast the following morning. There is a very extensive list of options at breakfast, including numerous cooked options, and croissants to die for!

Excellent winter menu- attentive staff, well priced, Francis the chef did a fabulous job Posy was super attentive, we had duo of beef, and a most excellent crème brulee for dessert

Ate here last night and the menu was limited and the food no more than acceptable. Michelin Star it certainly isn't but I've lived to tell the tale. The bar staff female was on the edge of being manic and the phrase more speed less haste sprang to mind

Great food and service in an awesome setting, very romantic, cozy, prices are reasonable and there is a wide variety of unique choices.

Fantastic haggis, wine selection, kids menu and table d'hôte value. Highly recommend. We had a wonderful pinotage with our meal which was reasonable and often hard to find.

great dining room with period furniture giving great ambience, the 3 course meal we had was just fabulous ,well cooked quality products with great service from "Posie" our waitress, nothing more to say than it was great experience.

I had the prawn cocktail, husband had the smoked salmon starters. Both were very good. The main courses of chicken and ox cheek were also good, though all the vegetables were undercooked for our liking. Even the mashed potatoes were raw! The coffee was luke warm. The service was excellent, however, and the meals tasty. We both thoroughly enjoyed the two meals we had in the Green bar the following nights, though again, the vegetables were undercooked and cold. A minor issue.

Absolutely wonderful dining experience, we enjoyed the meal here immensely, great value and far exceeded our expectations. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Try the smoked haddock risotto, beautiful.

Delicious dishes, great service, even the wine and drinks aren't overp as in many hotels of this standard.

Plesant staff, food good but not outstanding. Nice atmosphre int e restaurant, very quiet background music.

The bar restaurant is the only place in the hotel where you could get the wifi, so it was really nice to just get to hang out there for a while and not be rushed. There was just one server, and that seemed enough for our needs.

We had a meal in the bar restaurant and we all went away disappointed. This used to be a favourite place for us but after this meal I won't go back. One woman on the bar and waiting the tables and although she was friendly and polite, she did only have one pair of hands! One if us had a steak, described as the 'flat iron' steak! Iron was about right. He chewed and chewed before having to put it back on the side of the plate. He had the worst meal but to be honest none if them were great. The creme brûlée was mocha and resembled eating from a cold jar of Nutella with a dark chocolate coffee taste. A real shame as this used to be a really nice meal out but we all said afterwards this had to be the worst meal we have had!

Très beau décor dans un ancien château en haut d une colline. Une nourriture correcte sans plus. Un steak demandé saignant servi "a point". Un pana cota trop gélatineux. La commande du vin faite au moment déservir l entrée. Un service manquant de professionnalisme. Toutefois, 25£ pour trois plats fait de ce dîner un excellent rapport qualité prix.

Tastefully decorated surroundings. Lovely food. Well worth a visit. Sits high up on the hill to the north of Dingwall with lovely views over the surrounding countryside.

Have the scallops & the braised beef, beautiful! Good service, no atmosphere & music not great. Bar very basic but very friendly staff.

Had dinner here when staying in Tulloch Castle and was absolutely amazed by the quality of the food. The menu is quite short but well balanced. However, the quality of the cooking and the presentation of the food far exceeded anything I had expected. Young but well trained and very helpoful staff serving. Good, well priced wine list. A trully excellent dining experience.

Great food, great service and blazing fire. I would recommend the restauirant and its chef without resevartion.

This is our second time this year to go for a meal. We probably wouldnt have gone back after the first time as the service was appalling but the second time was a given to us as a gift. The service was much better - different staff and the meal was very nice. Could be a much busier place with consistent service.

Great presentation and flavour, staff were brilliant.

Food was nice, we had dinner here one night as it was included in the package, the service was appalling and the surcharge for the Cheese Board was an absolute rip off, especially seeing as it was only Cheddar, Brie and a Blue Cheese.....no wonder noone was eating cheese!!

We ate here both nights of our stay at Tulloch Castle. We were on a Dinner Bed & Breakfast basis and at dinner quite a few of the menu items incurred a surcharge including £11 for a fillet steak. We feel that's a bit excessive when the fixed price was otherwise £15.95 for 2 courses or £20.95 for 3 courses. However, it was good ! We also seemed to mis-read the menu which we thought suggested that coffee was included but it wasn't and we were charged another £1.50 each cup. Breakfast each morning was very good - no extras ! Overall, the food is good and service was very attentive.

We dined at Turrets Restaurant as part of a two night stay at Tulloch Castle. The other Tripadvisor report (dated 3rd Feb 2010) isn't accurate and would appear to be for the "Green Lady Bar" in the hotel which also serves bar meals. We had a few drinks in the bar before our meal in the restaurant - this was on a Saturday night. When we left the bar it was full of happy diners and I cannot relate to the other review. Turrets Restaurant is in another area of the hotel. The menu offers a selection of around 6 each of starters; mains and deserts with fixed cost for two courses (£15.95) or three courses (£20.95). Really good choice of items made with local produce, food was freshly cooked and well presented. Option to pay a small supplement for certain menu items such as rack of lamb; steak or biscuits and cheese. Staff provided excellent service and made our 7 month old baby very welcome and provided a nice high chair. We really enjoyed our meal and considered it very good value for money, especially given the unique setting.

there is no doubting the ambience, a floodlit castle atop a hill. If only the food, and service matched the setting.although some local produce is on the menu, by and large the food is deeped fried. and average, it is really the staff that disappoint however, they tend to gather at the end of the bar, including the chef, and chatter when folk are needing served, or waiting for a drink. not only that but they use the nearby fire exit to go outsside to smoke. Joy; ignored by people, smoke and cold air surrounding my food. If the manager could stop this, it may make for a better experience.
