Fig & Thistle
4 6 Stephen's Brae, InvernessWe were looking for somewhere to have lunch in Inverness after finding out that Rocpool was closed. We definitely fell on our feet finding this wee gem. \nDespite not having a reservation we were given a lovely table for two at the window. \nThe haggis Bon Bon’s and salmon skewer starters were both delicious. \nMy husband then had the venison burger which he said was one of the best burgers he’d had anywhere, while I had the prawn and salmon linguine which was generous to say the least. \nMy husband had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert (amazing) while I had a Bakewell tart shot which was dangerous as it didn’t taste of alcohol despite the amount in it! \nThe service was friendly and attentive. \nCan’t recommend highly enough. Many thanks!

Cafe One
75 Castle St, InvernessMy wife and I caught them on a bad night. Our service was inconsistent, at best. More frustrating for us - we watched three couples arrive after us, but get food service long before us. One of those couples was served dessert before we received our main courses. And we ordered the special. It took about 20 minutes after we finished dessert before we found a member of the wait staff to request our check. We waited another 10 minutes for someone to come by so we could actually pay the bill. Thoroughly frustrated, we walked our bill to the bar to pay. Despite all of the trials and tribulations with service, the food was excellent, and the setting is romantic. It's a beautiful restaurant.

34 Church St, InvernessI came here everyday while in Inverness for their Old Fashioned. The guy in the bar really showed passion while preparing the cocktail. The place is a cozy little bar, with a few seats available- in a welcoming and charming atmosphere. It was perfect to finish the day and get ready for dinner, while enjoying a nice drink. Their whiskey selection is massive and their cocktail list is for every taste. They also have beer and wine. It doesn’t matter what type of drink you’re into, the place is just a must! I saw they also have whiskey taste, but I didn’t have the chance to try. To flag, they don’t have food in here. Highly recommend, one of my favourite spots in Inverness.

We ordered a garlic bread which was like a pizza and delicious. I had Penne Bolognaise and my wife had the vegetarian spiral pasta. Both mains were exceptionally delicious and a credit to the chef. We were then tempted by a great dessert menu, with my wife having the home made Tiramisu and I had the dessert of the day which was ‘Eatin Mess’ (If you’ve never had one of these, do your taste buds a favour and try it). Now there’s no point having amazing food, if the service is not good. All of the staff were friendly, attentive and wanted to make sure our dining experience was the best possible (which they achieved easily).

Ness Walk Kiosk
15 Bishops Rd, InvernessOn a Sunday, around 1:00 pm, I needed coffee to continue walking, exploring Inverness. Earlier that day, I walked to the Dolphin Spirit to take the morning tour. After I purchased a cappuccino, I chose to stand leanlng against the cement fence. My hot coffee resting on the fence, while I searched on Google Maps where to go. A local stopped at the Ness Walk Kiosk with his two teen boys and his extrovert ginger hair daughter. The local man felt comfortable with me and started to chat, noticing that I am a tourist, while his children ate their snack.
I enjoyed watching how his daughter felt completely at ease with her father. He brought to my attention two places nearby, the Castle Tavern with the view of the Castle and Tomnahurich Cemetery on a hill with an excellent view of Inverness.
The Ness Walk Kiosk satisfying coffee gave me the energy to follow his suggestion on that same day.

Mumtaz Indian Takeaway
Charleston Ct, InvernessIt may look a little grubby and run down, might not pass every FSA check if it gets a on the spot check, but, the food is good, I ordered a king rib supper as it was one of the more recent complaints to see if it was as bad as it was made out to be.
It wasn't, the food was absolutely fine. There were other gripes I had but that's me things so I won't mark them for that, other than the food the staff member was a polite guy and the food options were, and exhausting arm long list, that said they did pull it off.
Decor is dated and the place could use gutting, it looks unhealthy. Other than that, good scran!

Black BX Food
Glenurquhart Rd, InvernessThe lady who serves and makes this tasty fresh food is so kind and sweet! She made us laugh while cooking up the most delicious loaded chips. My teenagers age their full “black” boxes. The canal view isn’t bad either, with some interesting boats passing by and people fishing and riding bikes, talking and relaxing.

1 Greig St, InvernessWe had Jack as our server who has a wicked sense of humor who took amazing care of us. Alphie the owner who would be amazing to work with also tended to us. The food was beyond our expectations in the best way. This was the happiest accident we could ever have had. Can’t wait to come back on our next Scotland adventure!

Fig & Thistle
4 6 Stephen's Brae, InvernessWe were looking for somewhere to have lunch in Inverness after finding out that Rocpool was closed. We definitely fell on our feet finding this wee gem. \nDespite not having a reservation we were given a lovely table for two at the window. \nThe haggis Bon Bon’s and salmon skewer starters were both delicious. \nMy husband then had the venison burger which he said was one of the best burgers he’d had anywhere, while I had the prawn and salmon linguine which was generous to say the least. \nMy husband had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert (amazing) while I had a Bakewell tart shot which was dangerous as it didn’t taste of alcohol despite the amount in it! \nThe service was friendly and attentive. \nCan’t recommend highly enough. Many thanks!

Cafe One
75 Castle St, InvernessMy wife and I caught them on a bad night. Our service was inconsistent, at best. More frustrating for us - we watched three couples arrive after us, but get food service long before us. One of those couples was served dessert before we received our main courses. And we ordered the special. It took about 20 minutes after we finished dessert before we found a member of the wait staff to request our check. We waited another 10 minutes for someone to come by so we could actually pay the bill. Thoroughly frustrated, we walked our bill to the bar to pay. Despite all of the trials and tribulations with service, the food was excellent, and the setting is romantic. It's a beautiful restaurant.

Number 27 Bar and Kitchen
27 Castle St, InvernessThe food and service here is so fantastic that we visited it twice during our short stay in Inverness. We highly recommend the haggis stuffed chicken with whisky cream sauce and black pudding mashed potatoes, the steak pie with potatoes, and the pan seared salmon. The quality of the dishes and the complexity of the flavors was sublime. The service was equally attentive! 5 stars!!

The Malt Room
34 Church St, InvernessI came here everyday while in Inverness for their Old Fashioned. The guy in the bar really showed passion while preparing the cocktail. The place is a cozy little bar, with a few seats available- in a welcoming and charming atmosphere. It was perfect to finish the day and get ready for dinner, while enjoying a nice drink. Their whiskey selection is massive and their cocktail list is for every taste. They also have beer and wine. It doesn’t matter what type of drink you’re into, the place is just a must! I saw they also have whiskey taste, but I didn’t have the chance to try. To flag, they don’t have food in here. Highly recommend, one of my favourite spots in Inverness.

Shire, 61 Innes St, InvernessDuring a trip to Scotland - I wasn’t expecting to find Innes Bar, on Innes Street. However, that’s exactly what I found in Inverness. It was such a sweet surprise! As an Innes, it feels like a piece of my history. The people are lovely and welcoming. I wish we weren’t leaving so soon. I’ll definitely come back again. \nWhen in Inverness, I encourage all to go to Innes Bar for food, drinks, darts, and very special connections. Don’t miss out!

The hospitality of this place, especially the managers Ryan and Steph is fantastic and made us all so welcome. The food was delicious and impressed with their handling of gluten free as I am Coeliac. Room was spacious, cosy and very clean. Really impressed with the whole place and wish the community all the best with their take over. Already off to a great start by the looks of things.
