The best restaurants in Scotland

Very average both food and service. Received wrong order.

I ordered a huge number of pizzas for a teenage birthday party, including for a friend with very serious food allergies - Claudio made perfect pizzas for us, and was really careful about getting the order just right, including creating a special pizza for the friend with allergies. And he gave us Nutella Doughballs, which were amazing!

There was 10 of us for the inaugural CURRY CLUB, MEETUP GROUP, dinner event, run by Ian. Most of us ordered starters & Mains, but were stunned when they all arrived ...at the same time!! All the food was very good, but the Mains were getting cold, as we were eating the starters. We did complain, but we were told this is 'what we do' !! it certainly spoilt an otherwise good night. Some of our Group had dined here before, and they said it didn't happen the last time. We won't be going back!!

I really enjoyed this. It was a special lunch with my girl. Great food, super friendly service and amazing views.

A quick stop to enjoy a hot chocolate. It looks like the restaurant from the Christmas movies. Very nice atmosphere 🎄

I recently had the pleasure of spending a delightful day at Dores Inn, and I still find myself reminiscing about the experience six months later. Nestled along the shores of the iconic Loch Ness, this charming inn offers a perfect blend of stunning views, a warm atmosphere, and exceptional service. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a lovely ambiance that sets the tone for a relaxing visit. The inn has ample seating, both indoors and outdoors, making it easy to find a cozy spot to enjoy the picturesque scenery. We opted for an outside table, and it turned out to be the best decision of the day. The views of the loch were absolutely breathtaking, providing a serene backdrop for our meal. Speaking of the meal, I must rave about the food—simply sublime! I usually find coleslaw unappealing, but Dores Inn's homemade version was a game changer. It was fresh, flavorful, and complemented our dishes beautifully. Every bite was a testament to the culinary care that goes into their offerings. After our satisfying meal, we joined a Rib-Boat journey on the loch, which was an exhilarating way to experience the surroundings. The thrill of speeding across the water, combined with the breathtaking views of the loch and its mythical charm, made for an unforgettable adventure. As a memento of our day, I couldn't resist purchasing one of their handmade crochet teddies of Nessie. It's now a cherished keepsake that brings back fond memories of our visit. To wrap up our day, we took a leisurely walk along the shoreline. The tranquility of the loch, coupled with the stunning natural beauty surrounding us, was the perfect ending to a fantastic day. Overall, Dores Inn exceeded my expectations in every way. From the lovely atmosphere and great views to the delectable food and friendly service, it’s a place I highly recommend. If you're looking for an exceptional day out near Loch Ness, don’t miss the opportunity to visit this gem. I still think about that wonderful day, and I can’t wait to return!

We ate here last night, 2/11. We believe this is a temporary venue for this fabulous restaurant whilst their other premises are being renovated. We were warmly greeted and seated in a busy restaurant that had a warm and friendly feel. All the food sounded delicious especially the specials. Of the three of us I was the only one to have a starter - the hot smoked salmon tart - delicious! Crisp pastry, tasty hot smoked salmon and rich veloute. My dad the venison which was rich and soft - melt in your mouth tenderness. Whilst my husband a generous portion of seafood pasta - it was tasty, hot and very fresh - he said it was amazing. I had the monkfish special - loin wrapped in Parma ham with scallops. Again delicious! Service was the right mix of friendly and competent. A lovely restaurant serving very delicious food. We will visit again if we are up in Fort William.

Great fish and chips but expensive

Brilliant time and meal was Beautiful...

Great spot. Yummy food, delicious cocktails, friendly staff, and a cosy ambience.

Very nice place to stay with family

Great wee pit stop to recharge tge batteries.

Quite an overstimulating restaurant. First time visiting Sapporo and unfortunately I won't be returning. The service was very slow. We arrived for our reservation at 7:45pm and got to actually eat our main meal at 9pm. For the food I got it was not worth the money charged and involuntary tip on top. £44 for 2 spring rolls, prawns and shared sides (underwhelming dry "sautéed" potatoes and egg fried rice with veggies). I did enjoy the mocktails they served though so 2 stars for that.

The selection of whisky is great and the food was alright but felt it was way overpriced for the quality we received. We were also charged £8 twice for one portion of the haggis bon bons (apparently this is some kind of a service charge, ridiculous we had to pay double for one small dish) Seems like a tourist trap to be honest and I don't think we will be back. There are so many better bars with more reasonable prices and better service.

Nice food, but yet again, needed to heat it up. Taste is good
