You won't believe the fantastic selection of restaurants and places to eat in Northern Scotland - but you'll be delighted when you try them! They are blessed to have a beautiful variety of produce farmed right here in Scotland, from succulent lamb and beef to wild game and fresh fish, right through to fruit, vegetables, dairy and much more.
​
Visit Michelin-star restaurants for the highest quality of dining, relax in a fine contemporary bistro, or cozy up around a pub table for traditional hearty fare. Stop off at a café for fresh baking, or enjoy tasty fish and chips by the harbour.

Aberdeen

Scotland’s third largest city, Aberdeen, lies on the bracing North Sea coast and has long been known as a booming city thanks to the oil industry. Given its proximity to the sea and the Highlands, you can expect fresh fish and hearty beef and venison dishes at these noteworthy spots.​
Fusion
​
Fusion is situated right in the city centre of Aberdeen. The décor is fresh and modern, with lime green furniture and fresh flowers giving the place a relaxed feel. There is a Perrier-Jouët Champagne Bar in the downstairs area with the main restaurant sited above. Fusion has received the Restaurant of the Year accolade at the Grampian Hospitality Awards, with the chefs also being handed various prizes for their work. The menu at Fusion has a contemporary feel to it, with Scottish classics made with influences from North Africa, the Continent and the Far East.

​Moonfish Café

The Moonfish Café is located in the centre of Aberdeen on the historic Correction Wynd on which once stood a House of Correction for vagrants and delinquents back in the 17th century. The menu at the Moonfish Café is not hidebound to tradition and the chef and owner Christian Recomio takes inspiration from ingredients and flavours discovered on worldwide travels.

This ’50s-style trattoria spans several floors and always seems busy but, thanks to its neat little alcoves, it’s as suitable for date night as it is for party night.

Highlights include linguine with king prawns and parma ham sautéed in white wine, saffron and garlic; homemade pork ragu with rigatoni; and Sicilian-style lamb meatloaf

So, pack your appetite, and be prepared to go on a Scottish culinary journey. Scotland is renowned for its unique delicacies and dishes. These include haggis and black pudding to porridge and shortbread. The natural larder of the Scottish Highlands provides a variety of food and drink through the local farms and fishermen. So, savour delicious fresh food and drink, from prime steak and organic vegetables to freshly caught kippers and salmon.

​The Dores Inn

Located to the south of Inverness on the shores of Loch Ness, the Dores Inn is one of the area’s most popular bars and restaurants - so much so that it’s advisable to book in advance to avoid disappointment. The location, which overlooks the beautiful loch and is located next to a small beach, would almost be enough on its own to explain this huge popularity - especially when the beer garden is taken into account.
 
But the food is also a particular high point, and one of the things which brings people back time and time again. The inn also puts on occasional one-day music festival events like OutDores, which are also very popular.

One of the city’s most popular restaurants, The Mustard Seed also tailors its menu to reflect the seasons, making the most of seasonal Highland ingredients. And, while there are many dishes you can enjoy year round, keep your eyes peeled for the selection of daily specials that are offered.

The upstairs restaurant also offers views out across to the castle and beyond, and the menu brings food lovers back time and again.
