Many culinary awards have been bestowed upon the restaurant of this prestigious hotel. Three dining rooms, a lavish set menu (Modern British cuisine) and a lengthy wine list.

Another luxurious hotel dedicated to the highest refinements of eating and drinking. Monkfish and scallops with a courgette noodle stew sets the impeccable standard.

A simple dining area offering light meals at Inverness’s vibrant theatre. Bright and breezy for lunch or pre-theatre meals.

Fresh seafood is served, a panoramic loch view and generous helpings. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service efficient.

A legendary haunt of walkers, this hotel offers a wide range of food but is best known for its bar – as essential to Highland trekkers as a first munro.

Spectacularly located beyond Britain’s highest mountain pass, this pub overlooks Skye. Local seafood is served, and there is music some evenings.
