After going on a long roadtrip over the weekend, just before turning our car back towards Glasgow, we visited Inverness. We hoped to eat at a traditional Scottish place and ended up in Urquhart’s Restaurant, a reasonably sized establishment in the second floor.
The restaurant’s decoration was very simple and dark. The purple wall and dark chairs and tables created a very dinner-like atmosphere even though we were visiting at lunchtime. The service was friendly and we got seated next to a window. The restaurant was quiet and comfortable.
After thinking for a while, I ended up getting the mushroom, leek and blue cheese risotto. This opinion might be influenced by the fact that I was very hungry after a long weekend of travelling, but the risotto was definitely one of the best I’ve had in Scotland. The flavours balanced each other perfectly. However, the portion size was enormous so it was impossible to finish, which was a shame.
In conclusion, this is a restaurant I would definitely recommend. The prices were reasonable and the dining space was fairly comfortable, even though the restaurant didn’t have the best decor I’ve ever seen. I, however, thoroughly enjoyed myself and left this restaurant very happy and satisfied.
