  “Lovely little restaurant in the heart of Inverness. The food was tasty, the service was friendly, and the prices were reasonable. There was also a good variety of options for kids, which was a big plus for us. It’s a cosy and popular place, so I’d recommend making a reservation in advance. Overall, a great choice for a family meal — definitely worth a visit! 😊”

  “We found this bistro by chance on our first visit to Inverness. After being disappointed by some of the other places we had tried, we decided to give it a try, and we’re so glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish was beautifully prepared. The wine recommended by our waitress was excellent and paired perfectly with our meal. There were no tables available inside, so we sat outside at a lovely table overlooking the pedestrian street, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The service was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly and happy to recommend places for us to visit around the area. Paul was especially welcoming and made us feel right at home. Sadly, we’re leaving Inverness, so we won’t have the chance to visit again this time. But on our next trip, this bistro will definitely be one of our first stops. A wonderful bistro with delicious, high-quality food, excellent service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. A well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars!”

  “We were very lucky to find this little gem. Sat in a quiet window seat nook window. Had wonderful gin cocktail creations called the Isle of Harris and The Great Glen Pink! Yummy!!! For dinner we had the salmon and venison. Beautiful presentation and the flavors were spot on. Venison was tender and cooked perfectly. The salmon had a flavorful curry sauce that complimented it he salmon very well. Dessert was a creamy Biscoff chocolate cheesecake. I highly recommend this delightful bistro for its excellent food, the atmosphere, and the friendly and attentive staff. Make a reservation to assure you have the pleasure of enjoying this dining experience.”

  “It is an excellent shop providing very tasty food and good service. We, two people, ordered three main dishes. The owner (I think) said that actually two main dishes may be enough. What a honest person! We order soup, steak, salmon, and the linguine. They are all very delicious especially the rib eye steak! Fig & Thistle is the second and the last shop I attended in Inverness, but she is the best shop I try here!”

  “A lovely spot that is cozy and charming. The staff are friendly and helped us with any question we had. There are options for everyone to choose from but the duck dish and linguine with chicken were our delicious choices. They also make some good gin martinis.”

  “What a charming little.place in Inverness. Lovely atmosphere, great staff and great food. Food was well balanced and tasty. The flavors complimented each other well. We had the Haggis and chicken appetizers both of whixh were very tasty. Dinner was delicious and well portioned leaving you feeling satisfied. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious the chocolate cake was light and airy and the toffee pudding wad just the right amount as not to overpower it. And to tie it all together some vanilla ice cream. Overall great meal at a great price.”

  “The food was very good. We had their special which was scallops and their green salad which was a nice variety of greens and well dressed. The service was good as long as the gentlemen (the boss) was present. We were next to the bar and the four young waitresses were looking and laughing as they looked at their phone for the longest time which was awkward for us. We opted not to order dessert because it took so long for them to clear our plates. I only mention this so this can be a lesson learned for these young ladies. Put your customer first before your phone.”

  “My Wife and I really enjoyed our time here. The atmosphere of the place is cozy and comfortable. Everyone from the staff was really nice too. The food though is incredible. We had the salmon and it was cooked perfectly. A perfect char on the bottom of it that added flavor and texture. We also had the venison burger. The manager said they work with someone local that brings venison from the area. Given the freshness and taste, not surprising at all and highly recommend for something that rivals any great “albeit unique” burger I’ve had in the US. I also tried one of their old fashions. Specifically the one that used Isla whiskey. I’m not very knowledgeable about old fashions, but this was one of the best, if not the best one I’ve had so far given the unique smoky flavor of the whiskey. Can’t forget we also did the sticky toffee putting. Delicious as well and a great end to the meal. We splurged on this and it felt worth it.”
