Torrish Restaurant

Luxury dining in Inverness

Presenting the idyllic combination of innovation and intimacy, Torrish at Ness Walk breathes new life to fine dining, and is also in the Inverness city centre. Set within the original drawing room, it is blazoned in traditional 19th century detailing. In addition, Torrish offers unspoiled views out to the River Ness. Here you can experience the pinnacle of social dining in one of the best restaurants in Inverness. Torrish offers seasonal menus boasting the very best of the season.

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 exquisite beauty. This provided us with the perfect inspiration behind the naming of our restaurant.

A menu filled with curiosity, discovery and adventure

Helmed by the talented Chef Gerard Chouet, until the end of March 2025, our tasting menu experience brings a touch of culinary magic to the Highlands. Showcasing two carefully crafted menus that alternate weekly. And, for those looking for an informal dining experience, we are offering a lounge menu alternative. From April, we plan to return to an À La Carte offering.

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. This culminates in an experience rich in texture, colour and intrigue, all with some additional flair.

The culinary team

Hailing from the food-obsessed region of Burgundy, Chef Gerard’s passion for gastronomy is rooted 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. An enthusiastic wild forager, Gerard has a gift for finding inspiration in the Highlands. The likes of foraged wild garlic and Highland venison are transformed into dishes that sing of the season.

Close to home

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

Sommelier's Choice...

Laurent Tardieu ‘Nobles Origines’ 2022

This fresh and aromatic wine from Cotes-du-Rhone displays intense honeysuckle aromas which wears the warm 2022 season lightly. Aged for 8 months in new oak barrels, it has a great structure with lasting aromatics from its predominant grape variety, Viognier.

– Special –

Morey Saint Denis - Maison Louis Jadot, 2015 Premier Cru

Pronounced ripe cherry, plum, and red berries on the nose, with great complexity on the palate. Smooth tannins with a lasting finish – this really is a superb Pinot Noir that pairs exceptionally with Lamb

– Special –

Fairview – “La Beryl Blanc” 2022 – Paarl, South Africa

Intense tropical fruit on the nose with sultanas, warming cinnamon and red apple on the palate. Velvety and rich with a silky sweetness – perfectly pairing with our soufflé

What our guests say

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)
"Possibly the best hotel I've ever stayed in. From the greeting at the front gates, throughout our stay and Afternoon Tea the following day, the staff could not have been more attentive or welcoming. We were celebrating my partner's birthday and could not have felt more special." - Louise Elizabeth
"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
"A truly amazing property! The staff and their level of service are absolutely top notch. The setting right on the River Ness is so calming and serene. The rooms are spacious and cozy and the beds make it tough to get up in the morning! A must stay when you find yourself in Inverness!" Bryan M, TripAdvisor
“I have been very fortunate to stay in some amazing places around the world and this hotel and its staff are up there with the best” - Mark P, TripAdvisor
