The best restaurants in Aird and Loch Ness Highland Highlands and Islands

We had a wonderful meal here from starter to dessert, the menu is very well put together. I had the scallops to start, beef fillet for main and Delice for dessert, all highly recommended, the beef main course was one of the best pieces of beef I have ever had. Simply outstanding!!

This is a wonderful peaceful spot with lovely views looking our over the wooded campsite. The cafe feels very relaxed and choices of food and drink were tasty. Staff very friendly. I just love coming here!

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.

This was to be our one night of “luxurious accommodation” after touring for 10 days in b&b’s. Turns out that the b&b’s were the luxury (Water’s Edge Cottage on Loch Lomond, Heatherfield House on Skye and Springfield Lodge in Stirling, all superb 5*). Paid £229.50 for one night back in March for a Superior double room, which now looks nothing like the current photo on the web site. Old fashioned especially the bathroom, room overlooked the loch but through a small window you needed to be standing up to see through. Decided not to eat here so it was fish and chips in the car in Fort Augustus. Much more expensive than the rest so our verdict was “very “disappointing” and a poor choice. Wine by the bottle not the glass!

Just visited this lovely pub/restaurant with friends who live locally. Rob & Ang made us feel so welcome. The food was excellent, highly recommend this place to go

I called in here for a coffee on the way home from the airport and have been bounced by a demand for a £100 fine from Britannia Parking for missing the parking ticket machine, in the dark on a rainy evening. I won't be calling again.

Give this place a miss. Bar/restaurant was empty when we called in and now we know why! Felt like a throw back to 1930s. No atmosphere. Cutlery was filthy. My seafood platter was nice but husband's venison was overcooked. Barman (owner?) was pleasant enough but we were constantly watched over by his lady partner, who made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable.

Lovely gelato / ice cream. We enjoyed every bite and absolutely would return. Great service too, had a nice sit outside on the table and chairs in the sun.

Carinissimo Tea Garden aperto da una arzilla signora che evidentemente ha pensato di mettere a frutto le sue doti di brava massaia in una maniera semplice eppur geniale trasformando il giardino di casa in un localino delizioso. Panini, torte, zuppe: tutto e' fatto in casa (proprio nella cucina della casa padronale!) e servito a prezzi contenutissimi ai numerosi ospiti spossati giacche' reduci dalle lunghissime passeggiate che la zona ispira. Una gemma!

We have been coming here for some years now whenever we visit Exmouth. We have never been disappointed.

Wonderful spot to stay overnight. Lovely host in Peter. Super bit of grub. Loved being here with all the history of the area. Fabulous.

Epic chips, proper seaside market town chip quality. Friendly professional staff and amazing Halloween decs

I love this place, absolutely love it. But I’ve no idea why they use the same food wholesaler as hospitals do. The fish and chips were horrific. Hardly any fish, with inch thick batter, hardly cooked, full of oil and soggy. I wish they’d match Bruar or Anstruther, especially being more expensive than both. My meal was inedible. £25 for nothing.

the rooms are clean, but the price list for the restaurant is cheaper in the room, if you want to sit directly in the restaurant, the food is more expensive. The cheaper price list only applies to takeaway. If you are a hotel guest, you are disappointed.

Love the comfortable chairs, warm atmosphere and pleasant staff. A very good menu too but disappointed with gluten free menu. They were having some problem in the kitchen with their equipment and couldn't do anything fried. Otherwise very good.
