The food served at Rocpool was of high standard. The starters, the 4 different main dishes and the desserts we ordered were so sumptuous and deliciously tasteful that you will want to go again. It is the finest food that I have tasted so far during my trip. The price may be on the high end but it’s worth it. Don’t give amiss to this restaurant if you are in Inverness. 🤗

Probably our best meal in Scotland so far! The food is just amazing, couldn’t fault it one bit. Loved the scallops and chorizo starter, the venison was so tender and melted in our mouth. The cod was flaky everything was perfect. The waiter was so friendly and nice, great wine pairing recommendations! GREAT service, and attention to detail! And the amaretto sour was delicious! Don’t forget the desserts :) if you have space for it, get the cheesecake!

Recommended by the owner of our Airbnb. She said it was her favorite and it was very good. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with excellent service. We thoroughly enjoyed the dinner. I had the sweet potato soup and oriental chicken salad. My husband had the appetizer special of tuna and the linguini entree. Highly recommend.

Very nice place would recommend! The food is good value for money and very enjoyable too, the staff were very friendly and attentive too! In the Rocpool we ordered: Tomato and Basil Risotto, Parma Ham Salad and Cream of Cauliflower Soup, (starters). Then we ordered Battered Fillet of Hake, Oriental Chicken Salad, Monkfish and Rice (main meal). For desert we had Coconut, Blueberry and Almond Cake, as well as the Creme Brule. Since there is a lot of food here I won't criticise them separately in paragraphs but I will give some important points on the dishes. Start of with the starters. I absolutely loved the starters they were are amazing and everyone enjoyed what they got. I had the tomato and basil risotto which was creamy and delicious and I could've eaten a huge bowl of this. The soup had a distinctive taste of truffle oil and felt very luxurious, it was tasty and silky and wasn't over seasoned. The salad was delicious. It tasted fresh and the pears were succulent yet still had a bite to them. The main meal was a slight disappointment, don't get me wrong they were delicious as separate dishes but together the dish just didn't seem to come together. The oriental chicken salad wasn't bad but wasn't great. To me it was too sweet and just didn't match well with the cashews. The crisp on the chicken was really nice though. The hake was delicious and we could not fault it. The monkfish and rice, like the oriental chicken, the separate components were very tasty but as a dish it didn't really come together. Despite this all three dishes were pretty great. The deserts really made the three course meal. The cake was fluffy, soft and nice but really I thought the creme brule was the best desert. It had a great crackle on the top and the custard just melted in my mouth. It was divine. Overall great place to come and eat. The staff are super kind but I would advise you too book online as it is quite busy.

Absolutely amazing restaurant! The staff are very amicable and welcoming. The food is off the charts and is very reasonable in terms of pricing. The starters were light and the main meals, although looked small, were filling. I would definitely recommend coming here.

I felt guilty not being able to tip as I don’t carry cash so an immediate 5* review is the least they deserved. I’m only here for the day and read up reviews about this restaurant, earliest I can get in for one person is 8:30pm. However Marta and her team but especially Marta brilliantly picked up the phone and ring me I can come sooner which is a blessing as I was getting hungry. The service from every single staff was exceptional, it really was. The food though… wow wow wow, delicious, it was more filling that expected and for once I had to turn down dessert. But the scallops and the linguine was so so tasty, pasta had a bite but the freshness of the seafood was so so unbelievable. Highly recommend them, I couldn’t even know anything about them. So lovely. This is a MUST visit if you fancy high end quality seafood for reasonably price. Again the service alone was exceptional. Please bring cash to tip them if you was fully satisfied with them. Enjoy the pictures. 👌👌👌

Super good experience in a beautiful restaurant in front of the Ness river. Regarding the quality of the courses, I believe that the photos are better than any description.

The restaurant looks unassuming and doesn’t have a river view, but the food is surprisingly excellent, delicious and thoughtfully presented. The service is also welcoming and helpful. Wish the sourdough is toasted. It’s already so fragrant and malty eaten cold… I was seriously wavering between venison and halibut (as our table already ordered one red meat)— the recommendation? “Venison’s the best on the menu”. — Yes indeed. The venison is tender and aromatic, much more interesting than the sirloin :> The creamed parsnips go perfectly well with the haggis. The crisps are unnecessary. It’s nice to try to add some crunchiness to the texture but it’s already soggy because of the cream and/or haggis anyways. One small suggestion: perhaps some toasted nuts would work better here. 🤔️ The sirloin is still quite good. The truffle oil is lovely. The golden Parmesan is crispy outside and creamy inside, super indulgent. Pappardelle with duck ragu is very tasty, full of flavorful and tender duck meat. The pasta is cooked quite well. Not the most bouncy one I’ve had but good enough. Crab and watermelon salad is so beautiful in a cocktail cup— the table next to us was curious and asked about it. The crab tastes fresh and sweet. The restroom is very, very impressive XD sorry for the spoiler.

Good food and service as expected. Personally I think that the portions are a little bit too big.

Delicious food and a fabulous wine list. The stuffed courgette flowers were particularly wonderful.

Having arrived after braving floodwaters in the wake of Storm Babet and horizontal pelting rain at Culloden, we were desperate for some good food. Rocpool’s offerings are based on local ingredients with a very fine method of preparation which brings out the best in the individual parts. Every dish was exquisitely made and presented - of special note was the duck ragu papardelle which would expect to find in a high quality restaurant in Rome. Would 100% recommend to anyone after a quality feed in Inverness.

Had a wonderful dinner at Rocpool restaurant Very fast service, food were served on perfect timing 👏 The food was extremely amazing 🏆 Luke is such an incredible staff and all his recommendations were outstanding Michelin star restaurant indeed 👌 Ambiance is great though they are full but you don’t feel the rush of staff, very professional 😊 Must try main course: loin of Speyside venison roasted with parma ham & haggis 😄 Must try dessert: warm pecan pie with vanilla ice cream- to die for 🤭 Make sure to book ahead, they get full everyday Great value for money 👌 Absolute must try in Inverness 👍 5 star ⭐️ rating on everything! 📍Location: Inverness, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 💵 Prices: in picture

The whole experience was absolutely fantastic. The staff are wonderfully friendly and welcoming, very thorough and attentive throughout our evening. The cocktails were great, I particularly liked the Peach Bellini! The food was just incredible, we had 3 courses each and left our plates clean!! Everything was cooked well, the flavours complemented each other and the portion sizes were spot on. 10/10 from myself and my partner. As a guide to price for the evening, for the two of us, we had 3 courses each, a cocktail each and a glass of wine for approximately £150. It was in my opinion worth every penny!

Deserves a Michelin star, no doubt. Perfectly chosen ingredients that are married together in a culinary piece of art painted on every plate. The restaurant is beautiful and the service is outstanding. Legendary cocktails to make your meal even more memorable. Memorable meal indeed.

A highly memorable dining experience for all the right reasons. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I had the duck ragu first - the meat was very tender and it was a surprisingly large portion for a starter. I followed this with the halibut and sweet clams, so fresh and artistically presented. The decor is very tasteful, with a relaxed buzz in the room. The service was immaculate - waiting staff were very efficient, friendly and professional. Our glasses were never left empty! Also, they gave us excellent recommendations as to where to head on to for a night cap. Prices were at the higher end for a meal in Inverness, but in this case the adage ‘you get what you pay for’ was absolutely true. We’ll be back.

An impulsive lunch walk-in after seeing the menu and reviews. All deserved. A nicely laid out and comfortable dining room. The layout means that even if busy you do not feel as though your conversation is being overheard. The fixed price lunch menu is a delight with high quality dishes and something for every taste. Well worth a visit.

The best meal that we’ve had during this trip to Scotland. We ordered from the lunch menu and I had the pesto pasta dish as well as the shoulder of lamb, and my wife had the cod. All were delicious, well seasoned, and incredibly fresh.

Probably the best meal I have had out in a long time. Excellent food, service, atmosphere and attention to detail. Will definitely be back. Photos don't really do it justice but you get the jist.

Fantastic food with super friendly service. The kitchen knows how to score with creative combinations, resulting in unique dishes of the freshest quality that flatters the palate through unexpected commonality. Keep it up! Only the wine list could be a little better ;-) Try the venison or halibut!

Here for a couple days and we had made bookings in advanced. Highly recommend you do so as well. Service and food were great.onky thing they could do would be a greater selection on whisky. Which is just me being picky. Still 5 stars all the way around.
