Sushiness
7 Lombard St, InvernessExcellent sushi restaurant. Small/intimate so great if you get a table. Different to your typical restaurant with more non-fish rolls on the menu than fish rolls such as lamb which isn’t for me! The crispy rolls are superb.
My only criticism would be the lack of nigiri (my kids love it) and tuna options. It would be good to see these on the menu.

Cafe Artysans
7 Strothers Lane, InvernessLovely staff and fantastic food. It was a great choice for me to have breakfast at Cafe Artysans before exploring Inverness. Thanks to the delicious breakfast I had, I was able to start my day with energy and a full stomach.
I had Eggs Florentine, and honestly, it was one of the best I've ever had. The Hollandaise sauce was amazing!
The place was lovely and quiet. It was enjoyable to have breakfast there by myself. I was able to rest my mind and enjoy the delicious food accompanied by peace and quiet.
I would strongly suggest going to Cafe Artysans for breakfast if you are planning to catch a train from the station. It's right next to the station. Such a convenient location.

Torrish at Ness Walk
12 Ness Walk, InvernessSome friends and I had an afternoon tea at Ness Walk. I have coeliac and had advised the receptionist when booking that there would be one gluten free. I also advised as I have coeliac I also can't eat gluten free oats, as I was aware there was an gf oaty base on one item. On arrival I reminded the server of this and yet the tray arrived and it was still on there, there was a few plates taken back and forward to the kitchen to double check items and eventually a gentleman server stepped in to see what the confusion was. This didn't fill me with confidence and having coeliac, eating out is a stressful time as trust has to be there with the restaurant that the food will not be contaminated etc, the end result would be me feeling very ill. Coeliac is not an intolerance or allergy.
I do feel disappointed by the experience and my friends were all feeling a bit awkward and I was trying not to make a fuss but it is hugely important.
I'm sure your chefs are very aware of coeliac and gluten free but I'm not sure how aware of the gf oats situation with coeliac people, many of us can't tolerate them at all.
I have eaten at your restaurant before and always felt fully confident about it hence why I took my friends there. I'm not sure I would be so confident another time.
The food I did eat was lovely and we had a nice time it was just spoiled by this confusion.

The White House
50 Union St, InvernessI guess this restaurant didnt meet my expectations for the price point and they may have been understaffed. I got the oven baked salmon and my wife got the risotto. My mistake for getting oven baked salmon because that typically precludes a medium rare temperature (pan seared is better for that). Oops I sent it back but it was still medium. Still flavorful and good presentation. I had a half beer of the Madri, Spanish lager, good if you like PBR or Bud. Switched to a 'American Style' Pale Ale, hoppy and not too full bodied. They didnt have any cask ale unfortunately. Auctioneers next door does. Took longer than expected to get service and I was surprised that she gave the bill and walked away. Most of the places I've visited so far bring the card scanner and the bill at the same time. Also this is the first restaurant in Scotland I've been to that didnt ask about allergies up front immediately. It had surprised us so much because that's not as common in the US. Enjoyable atmosphere with a late 80s early 90s Hip Hop. That's my jam.

Sushiness
7 Lombard St, InvernessExcellent sushi restaurant. Small/intimate so great if you get a table. Different to your typical restaurant with more non-fish rolls on the menu than fish rolls such as lamb which isn’t for me! The crispy rolls are superb.
My only criticism would be the lack of nigiri (my kids love it) and tuna options. It would be good to see these on the menu.

Cafe Artysans
7 Strothers Lane, InvernessLovely staff and fantastic food. It was a great choice for me to have breakfast at Cafe Artysans before exploring Inverness. Thanks to the delicious breakfast I had, I was able to start my day with energy and a full stomach.
I had Eggs Florentine, and honestly, it was one of the best I've ever had. The Hollandaise sauce was amazing!
The place was lovely and quiet. It was enjoyable to have breakfast there by myself. I was able to rest my mind and enjoy the delicious food accompanied by peace and quiet.
I would strongly suggest going to Cafe Artysans for breakfast if you are planning to catch a train from the station. It's right next to the station. Such a convenient location.

Miele's Gelateria Inverness
92 Church St, InvernessMiele's Gelateria in Inverness is dangerously good! The kind of place that makes you question every other ice cream you've ever eaten.
I tried the Bueno, Ferrero Rocher, and a cheeky salted caramel, all three were absolute winners! Super creamy, packed with proper mouth tingling flavour, and the portions are generous so you feel like you actually got your money’s worth. The shop is bright and welcoming, with a massive range of flavours that change regularly. Staff are super friendly and helpful! If you're wandering around Inverness and need something to cool you down (or cheer you up on a drizzly day), stop here. You’ll leave with a big stupid grin and probably sticky fingers. Best ice cream in the country! Hands down... Highly recommended, my waistline is already plotting a return visit!...

The only downside I would say would be heating... Was only a bit in the evening and a bit in the morning... The last night I caught a cold since the heating was off entirely ?

We ended up getting olives, garlic bread, and pasta which turned out great!!On a side note if you get the garlic bread it’s literally a large pizza (pie) but very thin. It’s amazing but very large which I wish they added that in the menu. We talked to a few locals sitting inside the restaurant and they all had amazing things to say about their food. Highly recommend
