Exceptional food. Great service. One of those pleasant surprises. We just walked in while visiting from Australia and were blown away. Both the flavours and presentation of the food was excellent. The attention to detail made us feel each dish was prepared by someone who cares. My highlight was the pork belly with Caesar salad. The hero was the interpretation of Caesar salad. My main was venison. Perfectly cooked. We were only doing the two course menu but after the first two courses were so good we went for dessert. We are both glad we did great desserts. Loved it.
We are from Belgium and we are on holiday in Inverness for a week. We have had a few good experiences in other restaurants. But this place is absolutely amazing! The food is excellent. The atmosphere and the river view are amazing. And the staff are super friendly and make sure that you get the best experience. This place is definitely a must-visit. It's a shame our holiday is almost over. We would have visited a second time.
The Kitchen, Inverness – A Gem of Scottish Cuisine with a Modern Twist Tucked away in Inverness, The Kitchen is a tiny restaurant that truly delivers on every front. While we were unable to secure a spot upstairs to enjoy the famed views, the experience was nothing short of fabulous. The food? Absolutely stupendous. It was the kind of Scottish fare you dream of—rich in tradition but with a subtle, modern twist. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the dishes were executed perfectly. Each bite was a testament to the quality of the local produce, from the robust flavors of the mains to the delicate nuances of the sides. Truly delicious. The drinks were equally fantastic, and the staff’s recommendations were spot-on. But the true highlight was the service. Despite the restaurant being packed and seemingly managed by just three waitstaff, we never felt neglected. In fact, it was one of the best dining service experiences I’ve ever had. The staff were efficient, attentive, and always present when needed, even with a full house. It’s remarkable how they maintained such a high level of service under pressure. If you find yourself in Inverness, make sure to book a table at The Kitchen. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable meal with fantastic service in the Highlands. Highly, highly recommended!
We had lunch and sat upstairs by the window. Megan served us and she was polite, friendly and efficient. The food was excellent. The goats cheese salad as a starter, was delicious. Followed by the smoked salmon and the beef cheeks for mains. We couldn’t fault a thing.
So glad I found this restaurant. Fantastic location overlooking River Ness. Superb welcome with perfectly attentive staff. As for the food - Wow! A set menu of either 2 or 3 courses, every dish was a work of art and beautifully presented, I don’t think we have enjoyed a meal so much - ever! I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough (and excellent value too).
What an incredible meal ! Being a Chef Restaurant owner it’s hard to please ! We’ve been in the UK now 20 days and have eaten at several places in London, Manchester, Bath , Liverpool and Edinburgh. This has been by far the best experience. The staff was amazing, The young man Dylan is incredible. Keep him around , he’s great with the guest and is knowledgeable with both the food menu and drink menu . Nicole and Meghan were fantastic as well ! Can’t wait to tell my staff back at home of the Great meal and service we had here in Inverness ! Thank you . Cheers !
The food here was amazing, I had the cold smoked salmon for starter and it was brilliant. I had the venison for my main and it was love at first bite. It was presented beautifully, and tasted as well as it looked. The only issue was the service; while it was heartfelt, kind, and energetic, not very 'upscale restaurant' as it should have been. If you go here for the food, you will not be disappointed.
The Kitchen offers a two or three course prix menu for 40 or 45 pounds. There are a lot of choices for each course, the staff and service was friendly and quick, and the restaurant has a beautiful view. I had the pork belly, lamb, and steamed pudding and I thought all dishes were great. I would definitely recommend The Kitchen for an affordable dinner in Inverness.
