The best restaurants in Highlands and Islands

Delicious! Lovely to walk along the beautiful beach with an ice cream in hand. There was a queue but it went down quickly. There are potentially too many flavours but we just used that as an excuse to have to visit more than once!

Great service and exceptionally nice meal with ample portions. Will visit next time we are here, that’s a certainty!

Great whiskey bar!!! Exceptional selection of single malts. The bartender Keiran is an excellent master of his craft. It's also fun to watch him mix cocktails. His know-how is really worth mentioning. And with a healthy dose of humor, it was a successful evening in Inverness. Great👍🏼

Absolutely great. Staff down to earth, called on the off chance they had a table for food. They squeezed us in when there was a couch party there. The food was great and plenty of it. Left full and happy. Would recommend, but call and book first. Will definitely be back if in the area.

Stunning coffee and cakes. Friendly and helpful staff and a lovely view of the boats and castle. More space would be good as it can be busy but worth the wait.

We stopped off for a coffee mid afternoon whilst driving Loch Lomond. Views were brilliant and the coffee was good. Definitely worth a stop off.

美しくて素敵なホテルです。 荷物を預かって欲しくて立ち寄ったら、チェックイン時間前にもかかわらずチェックインさせてくれました。 女主人はとても気さくで親切です。英語が出来ない私でも分かるように、色々説明してくれました。 部屋もとても素敵で、快適なベッドでぐっすり眠れました。 そして、朝食が最高に美味しいです。イギリスの食事は美味しくないなんて嘘です。高級レストランよりも美味しいかもしれません。 ここに泊まれてラッキーです。きっとまた訪れたいです。

We had the most amazing experience with Good Highland Food as the caterers for our wedding at 'The Traitors' Ardross Castle in August 2024! From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make our day special. Yvonne, Mike, and their whole team were so friendly, helpful, and full of fantastic advice, guiding us through menu tastings and helping us select dishes that truly reflected our tastes and would delight our guests. They made the whole planning process enjoyable and stress-free. On the big day, the team’s professionalism and warmth were on full display. They interacted with our guests in such a genuine and engaging way, making everyone feel comfortable and welcomed. Many of our friends and family commented on how relaxed they felt, thanks to the attentiveness of Good Highland Food’s incredible staff. And the food – simply outstanding! Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, with flavors that were fresh, local, and uniquely Highland. Their attention to detail and flawless service made the dining experience unforgettable for everyone there. Thank you, Mike, Yvonne, and everyone at Good Highland Food, for your dedication, professionalism, and for making our wedding weekend so wonderful. We couldn’t recommend you more highly – truly the best catering team anyone could hope for.

Best lunch I’ve eating in Elgin and very affordable

The Bearded Chef catered our Wedding in September and the food was fantastic! Aaron and Kayleigh were both absolutely amazing and we can't thank them enough. The menu was tailored to us with new dishes and a personalised wedding cocktail as the welcome drink. The canapés were great but the main meal really stole the show. Melon with sorbet, smoked salmon and lentil soup were our choice of starters. Followed by haggis sagaloo pie, chicken stuffed with chorizo mousse with paprika sauce, fondant potatoes & veg medley and sweet potato cakes as the 3rd option. For dessert we had a trio so everybody could have a bit of everything. Highly recommend Bearded chef and would definitely use them again in future.

Wonderful photographs of the area unframed and framed. Table mats and coasters. Beautiful building in a wonderful setting with very helpful people. Worth taking a look see.

This is now call the Cabot Highland. We were in the area and trying to find some food to have for dinner without having to head back into Inverness or having dinner at a Hotel. This popped up and was about ready to close when we arrived at 5:45. We walked in and asked if they could accommodate us. Everyone was very pleasant and assured us they could. We had the best meal of our trip. Not only was the dinner lovely and serve good but the view phenomenal. I had fried haddock with sweet potato fries and peas. Plenty of food and truly wonderful. My husband had a bowl of chili with beer. Nothing fancy just really good food, great service at a reasonable price. We would return.

Some of the best Indian food I've ever had—rich, deep flavours with just the right spice. A true gem that keeps us coming back! Fantastic, friendly service too. Highly recommended.

Skye Burger is excellent for a pitstop for warm food on a scenic drive around the island. Great local fare of beef and venison. Keep up the good work.

Super community cafe with delicious toasties and most amazing home baking. Very efficient and friendly staff. Highly recommend :)
