Rocpool Rendezvous

On the banks of the River Ness, and part of the Rocpool Reserve hotel, this is the most stylish and cosmopolitan restaurant in Inverness. It also serves a market-fresh cuisine that has awakened the sleepy taste buds of this Highland capital. The entrance is through a grand portico with Ionic pillars, almost a Greek temple. Beginning with the starters, prepare yourself for delightful tastes, as evoked by the Gruyère cheese soufflé or perhaps pike quenelles with lobster sauce. Among the enticing main courses are such dishes as duck leg confit with sautéed potatoes, or poached filet of cod with saffron mayonnaise. The prunes and Armagnac crème brûlée is the best we've ever had in Scotland.
