Torrish Restaurant

Luxury dining in Inverness

Presenting a relaxed take on refined dining, Torrish at Ness Walk is located just moments from Inverness city centre. Set within the original drawing room, it is blazoned in traditional 19th century detailing making it a unique dining experience. In addition, Torrish offers unspoiled views out to the River Ness to complete your dining enjoyment. Here you can experience the seasonally-driven social dining in one of the best restaurants in Inverness. The Torrish culinary team showcase sharp skills, driven by creativity rather than formality.

The Inspiration behind Torrish

Right outside our window is the beautiful River Ness, home to a collection of salmon pools. The Torrish fly that is commonly used for salmon fishing, is an object of beauty. This provided us with the perfect inspiration behind the naming of our riverside restaurant.

A menu filled with curiosity, discovery and adventure

In Torrish, we offer our à la carte menu which is rich in local and seasonal produce. Or, opt to enjoy a taste of the Highlands with our tasting menu experience; a touch of culinary magic! Each plate thoughtfully reflects the beauty of the season and the character of our region.

Torrish offers a menu with innovation at its core. Each meal has its own personality. Our quintessential Scottish cuisine delivers unique flavours sourced from throughout the world. Here you will enjoy a dining experience rich in texture and colour where food takes centre stage.

The culinary team

Chef Gerard hails from the food-obsessed region of Burgundy and roots his passion for gastronomy in a rich career spanning Europe’s finest kitchens. This includes a decade at the iconic Andrew Fairlie at Gleneagles. His expertise is matched only by his love for Scotland’s natural bounty. Also an enthusiastic wild forager, Gerard has a gift for finding inspiration in the Highlands. He transforms ingredients like foraged wild garlic and Highland venison into dishes that sing of the season.

Close to home

At Torrish, we work closely with local producers to ensure that we receive the freshest fish, quality cuts of meat and the best crops to serve to our diners. Our brigade of chefs even grow some ingredients and herbs right here in the grounds of Ness Walk. It doesn’t get fresher than that!

Sommelier's Choice...

Sancerre Domaine du Nozay 2023

This is a distinctive dry Sancerre, chosen from a biodynamic estate where ‘vigneron’ Cyril de Benoist believes in letting the grapes express their terroir, by minimising additions throughout the growing and winemaking process. This exuberant, single vineyard Sancerre is hard to beat with its ripe, grassy fruit and complex minerality.

Piper Heidseick Rare Brut Millesime 2012

A testament to the resolute dedication to quality at Rare Champagne, this is one of only 16 prestige cuvées released. The bottle design is by Peter Fabergé from the 1800’s and houses a Chardonnay-led vintage aged in lees for at least 9 years. Truly exceptional

– Special –

Etna Rosso, Calderara Sottana, 2021

Tenuta delle Terre Nere is a benchmark Etna estate, with fabulous old bush vines planted on rocky and sandy volcanic soils on the north face of Mount Etna. The resulting wine is warming, suave but driven with a sedcutive quality. Notes of smoke, strawberry, rosehip and basalt, with controlled power and length.

What our guests say

“As a former professional hotel critic, it’s safe to say I’m difficult to impress, but the Ness Walk did so in spades. I’d even go so far as to rank it in my top-three favorite hotels in Scotland!” - Jeff K, TripAdvisor
Well what can I say? The meal was fantastic, up there with the top eateries we've visited on our trips around the world. Truly worthy of five stars, maybe even Michelin stars in the future! - Willie (TripAdvisor)
"Our recuperative first night was spent in the Ness Walk Hotel, an elegantly proportioned, five-star, butter-coloured sandstone Edwardian villa on the bank of the river Ness. We were pampered to within an inch of our lives; guests are plied with champagne on arrival and for dinner, it had to be venison" Peter Murtagh, The Irish Times
We WILL be back and would urge others. Excellent 5 star hotel that exceeded in all areas, especially the staff. This was a true 5 star experience that was very relaxed and informal. We felt very comfortable throughout our stay. The food was amazing!
The entire staff bent over backwards to make our stay perfect. Rooms are better than any Ritz Carlton or Langham (and I’ve experienced several). Simply wonderful!!! Try the signature Nessie cocktail and tasty bar snacks! - Cathleen Napoli
