Contrast Brasserie
Book early for what we think is the best restaurant in Inverness - a dining room that drips designer style, smiling professional staff, a jug of water brought to your table without asking, and truly delicious food - a light, crisp samosa filled with meltingly tender, spiced, shredded lamb with a curry dipping sauce, followed by pan-fried whitefish with buttery shredded savoy cabbage and chanterelles; 10 out of 10. And at £7 for a two-course lunch, the value is incredible.

Délices de Bretagne

Kitchen
Opened by the people who own the Mustard Seed (a bistro on Fraser St), this spectacular new glass-fronted restaurant offers good value, and informal dining with a view over the river. The menu focuses on fresh local produce, and covers a range of old favourites, from battered cod with chips and mushy peas, to homemade burgers, to pasta and pesto with char-grilled veggies.

Mustard Seed
This bright and bustling bistro brings a dash of big-city style to Inverness. The menu changes weekly, but focuses on Scottish and French cuisine with a modern twist. Grab a table on the upstairs balcony if you can - it's the best outdoor lunch spot in Inverness, with a great view across the river. It's best to book on weekends and any day in July and August.

Pork, Cheese & Pie Shop
This deli sells a wide range of quality Scottish produce, but the main event as far as we're concerned is the great selection of delicious gourmet pies (to take away) - choose from lamb and rosemary, game and blackberry or Cumberland sausage and tomato (and many others), and munch contentedly on a park bench beside the river.

River House

Shapla Tandoori Restaurant
Head upstairs and choose a table by the window, where you can enjoy a curry with a splendid view over the river.
