Mcbain’s By The River

➤ 10 Bank St Inverness IV1 1QY, UK, United Kingdom

Kebab • British • European • Scottish

"for two middle-aged alternatives, who winged a journey through Scotland, this restaurant was a very happy accident. we had gone through several locals for inverness and found ourselves on the look for dinner at 20 o'clock. without reservation, several other restaurants turned us off. Thank you! from local whiskys to appetizers to dinner until dessert we were delighted with the entire experience in the riverside restaurant. the personal was attentive. the sister/owner works at the service. she was very courteous, friendly and professional. the brother/owner, the chef chef, was very talented. Hubby had laughs, while I, who eats rarely red meat, had to try the prestigious butdeen angus. the brotpudding was a really big finale to a wonderful meal. if someone is close to inverness, they don't leave the dinge as fast as we do. make them an dinner reservation for theside river restaurant. you will be as worthy as us."

Cheese And Tomatin

➤ Crown Road,IV2 3, United Kingdom, Inverness

Cafés • Cheese • Asiatic • Mexican

"This small restaurant was bustling, with a line out the door even on a rainy Wednesday night, which speaks volumes. The pizza was delicious and the dessert was huge, luckily we had agreed to share it before it arrived. Overall, the meal was excellent, with a price range of £10–20 per person. The service and atmosphere both received top ratings of 5. We highly recommend trying the Tiramisu and 4 Cheese Pizza."

Loch Ness Inn

➤ Lewiston IV63 6UW, IV63 6UY, Inverness, United Kingdom

Pub • Soup • Hotels • British

"Loch Ness inn was clean friendly. We just in to have a pint. After a bike ride. Rooms: I don’t know about the rooms didn’t stay but I can image there would be clean comfortable. Walkability: We were in a campsite which meant they were only half a mile away which is walkable from us. Food drinks: The last time we were here the food was nice. This time we only had drinks came in twice each time they were friendly. Rooms: 5"

The White House

➤ 50 Union Street, Inverness IV1 1PX, United Kingdom

Food • Sushi • Seafood • Burgers

"Amazing lunch with great vegetarian/vegan options. The courgetti starter was fantastic and I've never had anything like it. It's lovely to go somewhere where the chef has put in some extra effort to come up with good and unique vegetarian/vegan options rather than the same old thing most other restaurants provide. Great cocktail list too!"

Cafe 1

➤ 75 Castle Street Inverness, Highland IV2 3EA, United Kingdom

Food • Cafés • Steak • Scottish

"Absolutely awful service and treatment from the owner Norman. My partner and I had a voucher from the highland hospice to enjoy 2 courses from the early bird menu only to be told it “clearly states in big writing lunch menu and is not to be used on our early bird, we don’t make enough money from these charity vouchers” with a patronising and rude attitude. The voucher states lunch voucher 2 courses from early bird. The early bird states 12 5:45 and we arrived at quarter past 5 so I don’t see what time we could’ve used this. We were embarrassed in front of the restaurant as he walked off while we were trying to question it, asking if there was a separate lunch/early bird menu (there isn’t) he arrogantly stated “I don’t come to work to argue with customers”. We also paid to win this voucher and are now out of pocket. The young servers we dealt with were pleasant and understanding, it’s a shame the owner lets the place down, I’d urge anyone to stay away."

The White House Cocktail And Bistro

➤ 50 Union St, Inverness IV1 1PX, UK, United Kingdom

Sushi • Cafés • Seafood • Mexican

"I would recommend steering clear of the macaroni at all costs. The waffle fries were decent, but honestly, the frozen Iceland ones taste just as good. Unfortunately, the pasta was a letdown – it tasted just like a can from Tesco that costs £0.45. The cocktails were enjoyable, but the selection wasn't as extensive as what you'd find in nearby pubs, so I wouldn't return just for drinks either. On a positive note, the staff were lovely and attentive, with prompt service for our food and drinks. It's just a shame that what they served didn't live up to expectations."

Prime Steak Seafood

➤ 4-6 Ness Walk, Inverness IV3 5NE, UK, United Kingdom

Cafés • Seafood • European • Fast Food

"Strange experience. Food was great and terrible at the same time. Ordered broccoli soup, flavorless, and pretty sure there was no broccoli in it. Or they used a higher ratio of other vegetables than when puréed, soup was brown. Steak was overcooked and dry yet Chimichurri sauce was excellent. Cullen Skink soup was very good, along with seafood board, oysters and fries. Desert was bizarre. I ordered a chocolate cheesecake with Carmel sauce. There was no chocolate and no Carmel and came with raspberry coulis. Salad was supposed to have a raspberry vinaigrette, but no raspberry in it. They used lettuces that could not hold up to large tomato slices and the cucumber was diced so fine you could not pierce with your fork. My dad ordered sticky pudding that was supposed to come with Vanilla ice cream. We have no idea what the ice cream was but fairly confident was missing sugar and vanilla."

Contrast Brasserie

➤ Glenmoriston Town House Hotel, 21 Ness Bank, Inverness IV2 4SF, UK, United Kingdom

Pizza • European • Scottish • Fast Food

"Amazing meal and phenomenal wine! Staff truly were amazing and so flawlessly professional that it didn’t seem like they were trying for that, and that’s just the way they truly are. Was so pleased to have been in a more private area away from people as I had requested that. Allowed a meal with private conversations to go smoothly. Will be back 100%! Can’t recommend enough!"

Little Italy

➤ 8 Stephen's St, Inverness, IV23JN, IV2 3JN, United Kingdom

Pizza • Cafés • Mexican • European

"Having spent an exhilarating 2 hours on a RIB boat trip from Inverness, it was time for some sustenance! Queue remembering a nice Italian restaurant up the hill on the previous night's walk and a warm welcome for a late lunch/early supper. Clearly a popular choice, the garlic bread was in a different league to that we normally taste and the fungi starter we shared was gorgeous. I had the spaghetti which was just right for portion size and thoroughly enjoyable. Coupled with a couple of nice Montepulciano glasses and we walked back to the B&B with much to savour. thoroughly recommended!"

Comfort Food

➤ 22 Church St, Inverness, IV11EB, IV1 1EB, United Kingdom

Cafés • Seafood • Mexican • European

"I've eaten here before today and I knew from this experience that the portion of food on the all day breakfast is vast. I'm not sure why there is not the option of a small breakfast when there is a regular and a large. The regular has two of each item and I understand that the large breakfast is three of each item. Would a small breakfast of one of each item not be an option? I'm raising this as today I saw huge amounts of food being left on peoples plates and being dumped. While the owners don't seem to mind this because the customer has paid for the food, surely now we are much more aware of waste and the environment would the small option not be viable for the customer? I also observed the issue of not having a machine for card payments and only taking cash. There are two small signs informing the customer of this. One is stuck to the far right of the ice cream counter and directly behind a seat in which a customer was sitting, obscuring visibility and the other very small sign is on the right of the entrance door. Today an overseas visitor to our city ordered a varied and profitable amount of food and drink at the counter. His companions were sitting outside. Once his order was placed he attempted to pay with his card and was then told that it was cash only. The gentleman went back to his companions outside and I could tell by the confused looks on everyone's face that this was not something they wanted to do. The gentleman then came back to the counter and cancelled the order. Why are the staff not informing customers when they are presented with the menu of this very odd and outdated practice before the customer orders their food. So many customers had to go and find a bank to get cash clearly unaware of this practice until attempting to pay their bill. The food tastes lovely and we had a really nice girl serve us but signage must be larger and more visible re cash only."

Number 27 And Kitchen

➤ 27 Castle St, Inverness IV2 3DU, UK, United Kingdom

Kebab • Cafés • British • Fast Food

"Good location and welcoming atmosphere on entering. Good selection on menu and service fast and efficient. Reasonably priced could see the staff were very busy making the food the kitchen but not noisy. Only disappointment was the carrot and coriander soup which was not thin and almost tasteless but it was hot!"

Fig Thistle Bistro

➤ 4-6 Stephens Brae, IV2 3JN, Inverness, United Kingdom

Food • Seafood • British • European

"We dined here last night, on an overnight stay in Inverness. I had the homemade chicken liver pate starter, rib eye surf n turf and the date and ginger pudding. My better half had the Prawn and mango starter, rump of lamb, and posset dessert. All carefully crafted, nicely presented and with great produce. The meats and seafood were outstanding. Pleasant staff, always willing to help. A little gem. Forgot to take any pics, as the nosh was too tempting."

Culloden Moor Inn

➤ Culloden Moor, Inverness IV2 5ED, UK, United Kingdom

Pub • British • European • Scottish

"I was out with some friends and we decided to stop for lunch, and I have to say, I was not disappointed. I ordered the baked potato with sweet and savory toppings, while my friends had dishes like brat beef, shrimp and chips, and a speck and brie baguette. We were all very pleased with our meals; the portions were generous, the food was delicious, and it was served quickly. We sat in the bar area, and I would definitely return. I would give it 5 stars, but the parking lot was a bit of a mess, with large holes that need to be filled. It could have been managed better if I had a 4x4!"

Oakwood

➤ A82, Village Of Dochgarroch, Inverness, Scotland, IV3 8JG, United Kingdom

Western • Seafood • Scottish • Steakhouse

"We were staying near Inverness on the banks of Loch Ness and looking for somewhere nearby for food. Inverness itself didn't seem to have much on offer having already checked Happy Cow. Our B&B hosts recommended this place as having some good veggie options. It's a quirky but old fashioned type restaurant with a gift shop attached as such much of the decor is comprised of things you can buy there, such as millions of mugs hanging from the ceiling and prints and paintings on the walls. the lighting is also very bright. The owner, Guy, seems quite eccentric and has a somewhat odd sense of humour however he was generally friendly and helpful. We were very pleased to find that the menu which was mostly non-vegetarian, had a front page which detailed where they sourced all their meat and other produce all local. The best bit of course was that they had some vegan and vegetarian options, which were very clearly labelled. The menu also stated clearly to mention if you were vegan so that the accompanying vegetables could be prepared without butter. The owners clearly understood about vegan and vegetarian diets! When we visited there were 4 vegetarian options on the menu and 3 of them were already vegan or could be made vegan easily such choice in the north of Scotland is hard to find! The restaurant is not licensed but you can bring your own and no corkage is charged. Also, you really need to drive to this place to make sure you have at least one designated driver. All in all we had a lovely time there and would definitely go back if we were in the area The food was good there were two veggie starters one of them vegan and both mushroom based, so we tried both of them and they were very tasty!"

Rocpool

➤ 1 Ness Walk, Inverness IV3 5NE, IV3 5BL, United Kingdom

Sushi • Seafood • European • Fast Food

"came here last night after a cook was recommended working in another facility. at the arrival were our moms taken and we received a friendly sharpener from the hearts before the house. once my man sat and I took in the relaxing and romantic environment and looked through the Delishes menu. it was such a struggle to choose as it was so much to choose. After a short time we got our food and we were not disappointed. eaten in a range of restaurants all over the world, rocpool was certainly one of our top 5! the baptismal breast starter was boiled and spiced to perfection and presentation was on point. the most important courses were also scrumbling, my bark cheeks slept with every gift. I took a risk of ordering a pudding I had never tried before, and was thrilled with what I received. il in any case again looking for queen of puddings. the whole meal lasted only 1 std 15 for a 3 cursor per plus canapés before the start. even if the place was busy, the standard was not deteriorated. I will recommend this place to everyone and I can't wait until an excuse returns."

Scotch Rye

➤ 21 Queensgate, Inverness IV1 1DF, United Kingdom

Pizza • Kebab • Seafood • European

"Took us ages to be seated. The server didn't offer us drinks whilst we waited. Asked for drinks, didn't receive them Sat for 20 minutes, kept asking for drinks, didn't get them. Nobody around us seemed to be getting food. Decided to leave. Went to another restaurant that was much busier and was served in a shorter time than we sat waiting."

Nar

➤ 7 Bridge St, Inverness, Scotland, IV1 1HG, United Kingdom

Vegan • French • Coffee • French Fries

"Love this place. I were here 5 times and i completely love come here. It is a small restaurant, with not big tables and chairs with dim lighting. On every table stay fresh flowers. At the evening plus nice candle. Play eastern nice music. Attention! If you want come here, you need book table. All tables can be occupied. Were here tuesday evening, here were very noisy. So if you need more quiet and nice atmosphere, come here in a day. I managed to try several dishes and liked them all. All were vegetarian. I ordered: Halloumi casserole, halloumi and vegetable shish, babaganoush, aubergine shakshuka, camomile tea. All starters like babaganoush and aubergine shakshuka served with warm pitta bread. I choose from menu berry tea, but it is no more available so i have got camomile tea. Halloumi casserole served with fresh salad and couscous. Halloumi casserole a lit bit spicy but very tasty. Salad served with fresh piece of lemon. For me in salad too much vinegar. Couscous served with tasty herbs. If you order just drink and main dish, it is served without pitta bread. Bread you need order extra. Halloumi and vegetable shish served with bulgur pilav and fresh salad. Halloumi cheese were some burned, so it is a mines 1 star. Babaganoush and aubergine shakshuka were awesome. Very very tasty. Nice staff, delicious food and an overall pleasant atmosphere make this place one of the gems in this city. Thank you very much for this nice experience."

The Magic Wok

➤ Service Station, 1 Barn Church Rd, Culloden, Inverness IV2 7WB, UK, United Kingdom

Chinese • Chicken • Noodles • Takeaway

"During our vacation, we struggled to find a decent takeaway, but we finally settled on Magic Wok and decided to venture a bit further to try it. I couldn't have been more pleased—it was one of the best Chinese takeaways we've had in years. The flavors were excellent, unlike many other takeaways we've encountered, which often just taste like noodles. The food was served hot, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that really fresh ingredients were used in every dish. I just wish there was a location in England!"

Utopia

➤ 27 Tomatin Rd, Inverness, Scotland, IV2 4UA, United Kingdom

Cafe • Pizza • British • European

"omg the best boy I love so much! this caffe not only serves fantastic bakery and coffee/tea, they also make delicious all day scottish brunch for them to enjoy in such a beautiful atmosphere. only a few bus stops away from inverness city center, I recommend totally a short trip here if they are a food hunter like me (bus 5 or 5a stop right in front) I love the decoration in so much. the colorful sofa is definitiw a beautiful place if they like the sun. table seats are also great and the toilet is super clean modern. create their own breakfast roll (sausage w haggis grilled tomato cubes) £7.25 delicious freshly cooked Scottish breakfast in a roll/basket. if they know what haggis is done, they enjoy it the wonderful veggie away here. fiery smashed avocado grilled halloumi on roasted sourdough (w) £9.25 omg love this! this plate has a decent note on lemon. avocado is very fresh and tasty. halloumi is one of the best they could ask. English breakfast tea £2.65 another cup tee but this time with artistic exotic pot and cup. carrot cake ever really! it is smooth, not too sweet, has a hauch of carrot, toppings, etc. that is what I love about uk!"

Zizzi - Inverness

➤ 20 Bridge Street Inverness, Highland IV1 1HD, IV1 1WA, United Kingdom

Cafés • Pizza • Seafood • Fast Food

"We arrived at the restaurant after booking online earlier that day. We had to wait for about 5 minutes until the waitress finally acknowledged our presence. She did the same thing to some American tourists as we were leaving, snapping at them to just wait. Just before seating us, we were informed that they did not accept Tesco vouchers at this restaurant, despite not being told about this when booking. The food was not enjoyable, with my risotto rice still being crunchy. One of the bar/waitresses was friendly, but the other ignored our starter plates while she was texting on her phone. When I looked at the chef, he asked her to clear the plates, but she replied that she would do it in a minute while still using her phone. Overall, our experience was disappointing. We usually redeem our vouchers at Pizza Express and decided to try Zizzi for a change, but we will not be returning. The desserts were nice, but the lack of communication about the vouchers was a major letdown. They should inform customers in advance about their voucher policy, as many families rely on them for a nice meal out. It is important for the staff to improve customer service and communication skills."
