Cafe 1

Very good food and lovely and helpful staff. Very nice restaurant inside with a good atmosphere. Best steak in Inverness

Thanks to the staff who prepared the Mother s Day menu to take out. Fantastic meal. Thanks John

One of the best places to eat out in town. Good quality but not pretentious. Great for a treat, good local produce and seasonal menu. Very friendly welcome and great atmosphere. Engaged with local community and charities.

Great to get out again for a lunch & a few Friday afternoon cocktails, like this one a Coronarita!!

Food was nothing more then ok... i waited a long time for it.... but the service was good

Very good, tasty, well prepared and presented food.
Friendly attentive staff, nice atmosphere.
First time here, but will be back

Best meal we had in Inverness , great food, lovely staff and a relaxing atmosphere in ther challenging times

Very good service cosy place and the owner very friendly.thank you

Couldnt be better we were a table of sixteen but the service was excellent never rushed or slow and everybody commented on the quality of the food will definately be back

Fantastic dinner! Recommended by a shop worker a couple of door down. Best meal yet!

Excellent food (the lamb was amazing) and a fantastic environment! But be patient with the service.

Tasty food and friendly staff. Went for dinner and would go again.

The food is some of the best I have eaten in years. Such warm and welcoming staff and owners and very good service to match the food. Would recommend to all who visit Inverness

The best food I got in the UK! Take the earlybird between 5 pm and 6:30 pm!

Great place for a nice dinner. Great kids menu :) really enjoyed it.

*reduced to 2 stars after been blown away by the Mustard Seed restaurant*

Mmmmm, difficult one this as I've been there before and found the vibe really good for a night out as everyone is jolly and chatting away enjoying themselves. So decided to take the wife there for her birthday treat and it wasn't the same at all. A romantic meal that was at times dominated by the kitchen shouting when we were pretty much the only customers there, wasn't experiencing that before. The food was good but not for the prices we paid, felt like good pub food, nothing overly special. Dare I say it it felt nouveau riche when you're there during the daytime with all the lights on. Can't describe the difference between the feel of lunch and evening service, it's a bit like when you first went to a pub after they brought out the smoking ban and only then did you realise how the carpets stank of sticky booze (this establishment is extremely clean if you're wondering). I would recommended going if you've not eaten here before, it's just I came away thinking I've not eaten the level of food for the amount I paid. Hence all the other high ratings here are fully justified so don't be put off by my review, it's just the food and experience just didn't tickle or excite my senses. Left feeling underwhelmed.

Restaurant that does not accept you if you are with children ...
One can observe the respect with which the owner considers customers who want to eat at home by insulting them with clown.
So I will add a few details, when I returned to the restaurant and I asked for a table for 4 people, I was told no problem, and when I returned with my children I was told: no , It is not possible. 3 minutes later, I went back to the restaurant, and there was a group of 6 people who had not booked, because one of the 6 people returned to the restaurant to ask if there is room. This person resorts and tells his friends that it's good there is room. So from that moment on I deduced that this restaurateur was attracted by the profitability, and not by the customer service. Moreover, customer service is not one of his priorities, since he insults clown customers in these responses.

Very vibrant and exciting place in a relatively sleepy town
Good food and good service. Great wine and alcohol selection.

Great food, great service and good selection of alcohol 5*

Really good food. I started with some excellent scallops and follwed them with tempura monkfish with fries and a light curry sauce. There's a decent wine list and a great value early bird menu too. Delicious!

Always good, food excellent, staff lovely definitely recommend for a special occasion x

Had a fabulous dinner at Cafe One. Great food and service. Really enjoyed.

Reasonably quiet late on at lunchtime on Friday with a few cheeky cocktails to follow, just the ticket in these strange times!

Heard great feedback about this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. Had a great meal.

Some of the most wonderful food I have had. I had the king prawns starter (forgot to take a picture), the lamb and then the raspberry cheesecake for dessert. I also had Prosecco extra dry

Early evening deal made it affordable, busy and owner makes the effort to talk to all guests

Excellent food, staff and cocktails, strongly recommend that you visit the restaurant.

Innovative, tasty food and attentive service without being overpowering

Great site. Great food. And Ana l better ... Spanish x the world. Almeria

Beautifull food,good sized portions and great staff,Winner!

We really enjoyed it, excellent food and excellent service. Reasonable prices.

Outstanding food and excellent service. Posh fish and chips was superb.

Great food, make sure you don't leave Inverness without going there

My favorite place in inverness great food great service a must when i stay over

Inside you are transported into a world of fine cuisine! Excellent service and exquisite food. Highly recommended!

Good food, steak was well prepared, and the sides were nice. Good cheesecake too. Friendly service. The place looks tiny from the outside, but it's actually huge, and was fully packed in the evening, so do book a day or two ahead of time.
Coffee could be much better, though.

Recommended by Le routard. But does not live up to its reputation. Noisy room. Service exceeded (wait, forget). Mediocre quality / price ratio. Disappointing

It is a good place for lunch / dinner. We were lucky to meet a Spanish waitress and she recommended the hamburger (very good, 100% recommended) and lamb.

It's okay!

Very good restaurant and a nice map for children (a large selection of simple dishes).
And a very reasonable price.

Good food, good service, good menu selection. Shall return.

Overpriced as hell. Ordered 5 courses, all the portions were outrageously small and the food was tasteless and poorly seasoned. Avoid.

Super friendly place, very dog friendly which is most important to us. Food excellent so we most highly recommend to all to try it.

I beg you, if you visit Inverness and enjoy good food, visit this place. Instantly felt at home from the moment we walked in. Very friendly, yet very Covid safe proving that a pandemic can't ruin good hospitality when it's done properly. A dog friendly restaurant that doesn't sacrifice hygiene or elegance by accepting 4 legged friends. The food was exceptionally good. I had the scallops and the lamb and my husband had the salmon and the special steak. For dessert we shared the crepe with toffee sauce and it was to die for. By far one of the best restaurants I've ever visited and I will be damn sure to book here again if in Inverness.

WONDERFUL experience. Excellent food and amazing service. This was one of our favorite restaurants on our trip. The menu had a wide variety of food and all the members of our party were extremely pleased. The service was the best we had in Scotland: very attentive without being overbearing. Our clients were very impressed! Will definitely visit again next time we are in town.

Good was very food but they forgot my side dish and my starter and main had same sauce felt like same dish.

Essential to eat in Inverness.
Very nice treatment, food made with good raw material and it is noted that it is made with great care. Just 10. Right in front of the Castle, easy to find.
The amount is not exaggerated, the right thing.

Good place to eat, full and diverse weekly menu. Good deal. They have Estrella Galicia.

Honestly the absolute best restaurant experience I've ever had, everyone was so friendly and fun to chat too. Our waitress Masie or Masey (probably spelt it wrong) was amazing, kind and happy when serving us. Would definitely recommend this place.

Great lunch and early dinner meal deals. Really good produce used. Across the road from Castle. Really enjoyed our meal.

Great place. Good food. Lunch menu is good value for money. Staff friendly and very nice with kids.

Amazing food, service, place. Loved it. Accommodated all my requests with a smiling face and professional attitude. Totally recommend it!

From a Lewisman to a Harris man, I'm sorry but not a great experience. Cutlery not as clean as should be, not great information for gluten free although eventually given and didn't really feel as if giving much if any importance to it, More

Went to celebrate my husbands retirement / birthday with group of 20 friends and relatives and were very pleased indeed. Food was excellent, great choice on menu and staff very attentive. All commented on what a great relaxed evening they had. Highly recommend.

Very nice place. Nice furnishings and very attentive service. Prices in line with the local proposal, certainly higher than the local sideboard. Excellent fish and well cooked. Greedy and abundant sweets. Wine list to be improved

Honestly I do not understand the comments in Inverness! To believe that all comments are phony !? We are not going to lie badly in this city. Go your way ... This restaurant was mediocre ... Go eat in Glasgow or Edinburgh ... And especially wake up in Inverness.

Beats me why people give this restaurant such a high rating. Food was pretty average. The restaurant looks cosey but was way to crowded and hence too loud for my liking. Staff was friendly hence the 2 star rating.

Always eat here when I am in Inverness, never, ever been disappointed. It's a must if you need to eat out in Inverness.

Good food and trendy local. Convenient internet booking. Without reservation we would not be able to eat.

Excellent early bird menu - tasty, well presented food.

Fantastic place to eat very good quality products, also staff are great.

It may be stuffy, but stay here and you will never regret! Super-tasty and creative. Thanks to the team!

Foods were delicious especially sweets were phenomenon friendly staff.

Excellent food and service. Nice decor and surroundings too. One of if not THE BEST restaurant in Inverness. Always busy so make sure you book well in advance.
The courses are well presented but not to the extent that you just get a pretty picture on a plate..! You do get a decent portion.
The menu has something for everyone and they have a good wine list.
Just go and enjoy the experience.

Fillet steak perfect staff attentive and very pleasant

Fantastic meal as always in a welcoming atmosphere. Thanks to all the team for a lovely evening.

Exquisite food, friendly attentive staff. Highly recommend a meal here. I hope to come back soon. Loved it.

If you want a special occasion completely ruined by awful service and below school canteen quality food then book here. Wish I could give zero stars.
