Bar & Restaurant

The Inch Hotel’s restaurant has one of the best chefs in the country at the helm and it excels in modern, Scottish cuisine. It also enjoys views of Loch Ness that will take your breath away!

Scotland is home to some of the world’s finest fish, meat, game and vegetables. The chef doesn’t need to go far from Loch Ness to get the best produce for his larder and what’s more, with around 90% of what is served coming from Scotland, they know exactly who produced what and how it was grown, raised or made.

The Inch Hotel prides itself on doing things right, starting with the food; good local produce packed with flavour, classic mains and desserts that draw on Scotland's heritage and award-winning cheeses from across the region.

Great food has been a major factor in the success of The Inch, but with an added ingredient. The service and quality delivered by the front-of-house team. They're here to ensure that you are treated to good old-fashioned hospitality and to ensure that the restaurant is the sort of place where you feel just as relaxed and comfortable as you do in your own home.
