The best restaurants in Nairn Highland Highlands and Islands

All i can say is this is the best place to eat in Nairn and probably in the surrounding area. Food is awesome, the menu has a good mix of food advertised and as I've eaten there so many times I have tried just about everything at one time or other and i have never been disappointed. If I could recommend one plate that is my favourite, it is chicken fajitas, they are awesome (I always ask for an extra wrap as you get a lot of fajitas). Every pakte you get served tastes great, and there is plenty of food no matter what you try. Staff go over and above to ensure you have a pleasant stay and serve you quickly and ensure all isnok with you food and ask if you need anything whilst you are there. As I said previously, it's the best place to eat in Nairn.

Italian restaurant. Excellent food. Good size portions presented beautifully. Wine a little expensive. The lady in charge of service was very efficient. Slightly less so the other two waiters who forgot to offer the pepper/parmesan for our main courses. We would certainly recommend the Aurora.

Love the ice cream but todays service was just bizarre. There was a mix up with my order, then I was given a cone right ice cream wrong type of cone, I asked for the correct cone and watched the server scrape the ice cream from one cone to the correct one then I was passed the correct cone with half a scoop of ice cream. I highlighted this and was told by the owner “well is just give you a refund” now I am not sure if you have kids but the whole reason of our visit was to reward my two for a fantastic parents and a half scoop would have been a bit of an insult. I requested a different flavour which took another 5 minutes, when the owner hand it over he was obviously not pleased. He gave me a look as if to say you got what you want now go away. I asked if I didn’t justify an apology and was told no as he had already offered me a refund. As stated a refund was no use. I thought this level of service was long since finished, The arrogant proprietor who thinks if people’s aren’t happy then don’t come back. Maybe get some empathy, it goes a long way.

As always, utterly delicious fish and chips. Fresh fish, perfect batter, cooked perfectly. Really good chips too, but the fish is just fantastic as always.

A superb seaside setting, ideal for outdoor dining and takeaways plenty of places to sit nearby or on the beach, very good value and tasty food

The ice cream was delicious and the staff was kind and organised it was a very busy day and the staff managed to get our order at a decently fast pace and there didn’t seem to be any issues with other customers orders. Overall great cafe !!👏👏👏

We had a lovely sit in the garden while enjoying our coffee, hot chocolate and cake. The owner was lovely and turned out to be Belgian (we are Dutch), so we had a nice chat. If we're ever in the area again we will surely drop in again!

We went here specifically for a gluten free meal and found the menu online. The pre booked table was set out for the 3 of us in the bar before we arrived and we were welcomed at the bar and shown to our seats and handed the menu. Drinks order was taken quickly and the order arrived straight away. Food order for the 3 of us was taken and arrived with similar speed. The menu is fantastic if you are GF - we all ordered a starter and a main. The prawn and salmon cocktail was excellent but the highlight was the GF roast beef - the Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and gravy were all GF and really good. The roast lamb also looked good. All in all a great place to eat with tasty food.

Fabulous health food and alternative medicine shop, helpful and friendly staff. Well stocked and I was spoilt for choice. The lady who served me was knowledgeable about the products. I will definitely be back. Well worth a visit. 10/10

Called in after a dog walk for a cup of tea and some sweet treats. The kinder beuno whoopie cookie was very good! Can recommend the special biscoff hot chocolate too, if you like sweet things.

Got delivery ,worst place out,missing a doner kebab,chips,garlic sauce. The food was disgusting, the chips was the day befores reheated,the doner meat looked like something we've not seen before it looked and the texture of it was a sole of a shoe cut up in strips The price was £31.75 but it was worth to the stretch of £2.00. Someone will be going in tomorrow to discuss this.

Beautiful hotel in a large old stone built house. It felt extremely posh and reminded me of Gleneagles. Prices were very reasonable for what you got. Spacious rooms, good attention to detail. Excellent food. Lovely staff.

Will not be visiting again. Restauraunt not clean. Coffee not good, sausage roll not good. Toilets not clean. Disappointing.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere Very friendly and helpful staff from start to end. You can't go to Nairn and not stop in by Royal Bengal.

We went here for lunch after a walk. We had a dog with us and we knew the place was dog friendly. Never mind dog friendly: all-round friendly. The service was excellent and pleasantly chatty. The food was great, which was just as well because the portions were huge. I had half a portion of chili nachos with a side of chips. Even the half portion, after a walk on the beach, was more than I could eat and I was tempted to hire a room for a post prandial nap. It's a bit hidden from the A96, so best to get sat nav directions.
