Reviews Rocpool Restaurant

Came here yesterday night after being recommended by a chef who works at another establishment. On arrival our coats were taken and we received friendly banter from the gentlemen at front of house. Once seated my husband and I took in the relaxing and romantic surroundings, and looked through the delishes menu. It was such a struggle to pick as there was so much to choose from. After a short while we received our food and we were not disappointed. Having ate in a number of fine dining restaurants around the world, Rocpool certainly became one of our top 5! The pigeon breast starter was cooked and seasoned to perfection and presentation was on point. The main courses were just as scrumptious, my beef cheek melting with every forkfull taking. I took a risk ordering a pudding I'd never tried before and was delighted with what I received. Il most definitely be looking out for "Queen of puddings" again. The whole meal took only 1hr 15 for a 3 course meal each plus canapés before starters. Even though the place was busy, the standard did not falter. I will be recommending this place to everyone and I cannot wait for an excuse to return.

Been to rocpool on two occasions. I must say thats it has to be one of the best restaurants in inverness. It is pricey, but well worth for what u pay for.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
