The best restaurants in Dingwall and Seaforth Highland Highlands and Islands

My husband and me are regulars at EM’s so today when we visited we were saddened to see that she is closing down today. The baking has always been first class and the friendly staff, amazing. EM’s will be greatly missed in Dingwall. All that is left for me to say is that we wish Emily and her staff all the very best in the future. A truely brilliant baker.

Regretably, this wonderful restaurant has now closed as the owners retired. Very best to them for a lovely retirement after many years of fabulous food and unbeatable hosting. Bon chance!

Wherever we are in the Inverness area we make a beeline for a Harry Gow shop. We stay at Dingwall campsite so use the local one there. Best bakers in UK. Brilliant homemade soup, a different one every day, delicious filled rolls, sausage rolls and what a fantastic selection of cakes 😋😋.

Had just eaten around the corner and was walking along the high street was drawn in by all the different options sweet and savory brought a couple of cakes for later.

Endroit joli et propre. Super accueil. La cuisine est soignée et plutôt variée. Les mets sont simples mais préparés et servis avec soin. Les prix sont très corrects.

What a disappointment after reading the positive reviews and then experiencing it yourself. First of all, the prices are not the problem, the atmosphere is okay, I would prefer to hear more appropriate background music. Service fine, but it's all about the food. Starters were tasty, fried snacks. Main courses lacked all taste due to lack of herbs and fresh vegetables. Chicken was quite tender. However, you want to taste that Thai Pad Thai and then a plate full of rather tasteless strings with some peanut crumbs and pieces of vegetables and chicken next to it is not what reminds me of Thailand.

This is an exceptional cafe with its own bakery, and although it specialises in cakes, its savoury bakes and sandwiches are seriously good. The coffee is also first class, and the service friendly and efficient - and despite how busy the place gets.

First time visiting this restraunt. Pleasant surroundings outside and lovely dining area in conservatory area. There were 5 of us here tonight, 19th February 2025. Quiet in restraunt though busier in bar area. Service was great with friendly staff. There was a good choice on the menu and food was absolutely delicious. We has steak pie, gammon steak, scampi, fish and chips and pizza. One of our party had starter of black pudding which he said was delicious too. I will definitely go back and highly recommend this restraunt.

We really enjoyed our visit to Chilli Masala. The service was first class, the food was excellent. Very fresh, clean, tasty and plentiful. It was a real pleasure to eat here. Wish we lived nearer. Would definitely visit again when back in the area. This restaurant is first class, with great food and very friendly staff....oh and very reasonably priced too.If you're looking for Indian good in Dingwall then go here as you will not be disappointed.

We ordered a takeaway and they forgot the chips, I called to let them know and they tried to get us to take a discount next meal but as the chips were required I asked if they would deliver? Eventually turned up 3/4 of a hour later despite the rest of the meal arriving in 25 minutes from being placed ….they clearly took the scraps from the bottom of the basket totally disgusting which went in the bin, apart from my partner’s starter the rest was tasteless and uninspiring, definitely won’t be using again , on reflection we stopped using them a few years ago for something similar

Came for brunch place full of locals plenty of food options had food envy when you saw what others ordered. Nice fresh cakes on offer place was bigger had a downstairs part with some overflow tables a couple of larger family groups.

Found this place after to moving to Dingwall and it's become our favourite place for breakfast. Always cooked really well and the staff are friendly. Big plus seeing all the lovely dogs that come in!

This guy is an artist. Crispy. Crunch. Full of flavour. How any other takeaways in dingwall are still in business astounds me. First takeaway pizza I've had that hasn't been greasy. Just perfect I felt I was in Italy whilst eating his joyous creation..and such a brilliant wee shop all done Infront of you no secrets. How is there even a pizza hut or a dominoes in Inverness. I'd drive 2 hours for his pizza let alone the 15 minutes from Inverness. 10/10 recommended I'll definitely be back.

So well looked after. Despite it being a wednesday night and us being "out of towners" we were treated like locals. The chap in charge even made my wife a proper mug of tea with biscuits. 10/10

BRILLIANT service.
