The best restaurants in Inverness Central Highland Highlands and Islands

Absolutely worth the $.. fantastic meal and the best lemon curd cheesecake I've ever had!

The best haggis and cheese toasties around! Brilliant friendly place to grab lunch. We were made very welcome, even the dog!

Fun bookstore if you like hunting for books, seemed a bit disorganized, staff was not very helpful

Found online when looking for haggis on the menu. Would never have found it otherwise. So glad l did!

*2024 update: Food was average this time, and I was disappointed, especially given the above-average prices. Crispy chili chicken salad was nicely seasoned and good, but the salad was prepped so that pieces of veg were considerably longer than mouth (a no-no in fine dining) and served on a slate - I don't know anyone that enjoys the sound or sensation of cutlery on slate... Spoiled the experience. The beef burger with cheese and bacon was small, served in a flimsy brioche bun (what's the obsession with serving burgers on brioche??) and the portion was small, especially stingy on chips (which were good). The burger was on a par with a decent pub meal, no better (slightly dry and overcooked, small-ish). The Biscoff and chocolate cheesecake had no chocolate on or in it, unless a tiny undetectable amount in the base. No chocolate flavour at all. Definitely gone downhill since I last visited a few years ago. Also 5 different people served us, even tho the restaurant wasn't busy - the benches in the window seat have the back at 90° to the seat which is very uncomfortable, and the table was cramped for 4 diners. The overall experience could be improved easily. Food, service and dining environment all have plenty room for improvement. 2018 = 5* (has gone downhill massively) oA restaurant with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and excellent food. The standard menu and the specials all sounded excellent and everyone I was with thoroughly enjoyed their food. A good range of options using local produce creatively. The service was excellent: prompt and friendly. Even the coffee was exceptionally good. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant to anyone.

Delicious food and benefitting the community

A hidden gem of a cafe. Recommended by a local and it didn’t disappoint. A busy cafe. Had a short wait for a seat but was acknowledged by staff who cleared a table as soon as they could. Great coffee and scones. Even a wee menu for your dog! Menu looked good but we didn’t have too much time so only had coffee and scones.

Visited Saturday lunchtime. Has been awhile since our last visit. Loved the food.

We had a great breakfast at Blend. The choice is wide and the products are good. In addition, the staff is the friendliest!!

Highlander has great food and various beers & drinks to choose from. We had the steak and ale pie and the cheese burger. We happened to get there as the guitarist singer was setting up and enjoyed him selection of Scottish, Irish, and American ballads. Big thumbs up!!

I stayed in Rocpool Reserve Hotel in August 2018. Chez Roux restaurant was one of my main reasons for staying there. The hotel itself is worthy of its 5 stars. The welcome to the hotel was warm. The building is beautifully furnished with a relaxed atmosphere. The staff were attentive but inobtrusive, making my stay very enjoyable.

Sehr leckerer Burrito. Es gibt sehr viel Auswahl und die Preise sind auch echt fair. Haben uns zu zweit einen geteilt, hat vollkommen ausgereicht. Der Laden ist ein ein Mann Betrieb. Obwohl viel los war, mussten wir nicht lange auf unseren Burrito warten und konnten draußen in der Sonne sitzen. Der Verkäufer ist auch sehr nett. Bester Burrito, den wir gegessen haben! Würden definitiv wieder kommen!

So the food was good especially the Cullen Shrink Soup yummy! However it is rather disconcerting when you sit watching the staff preparing other, & your order and in a 20min period nobody washes their hands. Not even the guy who returned from smoking or when he put his clipboard down to make an order. Is it so very difficult to maintain good hand hygiene? For this reason I would not come back

Fresh, delicious falafel. Also really tasty baclava, not too sweet just right.

Nice bar with good beer. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Place lacks a bit of atmosphere though
