Luigi's - Dornoch

Looked outside on a september night and enjoy a fantastic meal here. we were well supervised by chris who always chat with anyone, but to say that eating is pretty good. book in advance, very popular place!

Last night we had dinner there because it was the anniversary weekend and we had no reservation, we couldn't get it, but we're lucky to get a place in the sun to eat something. the drachenkopf beer was fantastic and as dinner gnocchi on the menu.

The menu offered a fantastic selection, along with plenty of daily specials. For our starter, we opted for the pork belly with parsnip and piccalilli, and it was absolutely delicious! The pork was tender and packed with flavor. The combination of parsnip and piccalilli might sound unusual, but it worked wonderfully. For our main dishes, we chose the linguine with scallops, prawns, chili, and garlic. It was an incredible dish, featuring sweet, perfectly cooked scallops and an abundance of prawns. The sauce was delightful. I usually find pasta dishes a bit monotonous, but I didn't want this one to end. The photos really don’t do it justice! I added chili flakes because I'm a big fan of spice. For dessert, I had the special of bread and butter pudding with ice cream. It had a nice crispy top and a gooey center. My husband ordered the sticky toffee pudding, which was light and very tasty. We enjoyed it all with a bottle of Martin Codax Albariño wine. We loved it so much that we returned for lunch the following day and were fortunate to snag the last available table, while others were turned away. Hence, I emphasize the importance of booking in advance. We tried their pizzas as well—one with chorizo, sun-blushed tomatoes, and black olives, and the other with chicken, sweet peppers, rocket, and red onion. Both had fantastic flavors, and the crust was thin yet slightly doughy and light—just perfect. We also couldn’t resist the cakes on display, so we tried the coffee walnut cake and carrot cake. Both were delicious, but to be honest, the coffee cake was a bit dry, while the carrot cake was beautifully moist. The flavors in both were great. Lastly, their coffee was excellent; we ordered it black, and it was a fantastic cup. Once again, the service was remarkable. We absolutely loved our experience here and would definitely make a reservation again if we find ourselves in the Dornoch area. Thank you!

I made a last-minute reservation at this restaurant and was not disappointed. The food was absolutely fantastic! We tried the whispers, pulsed linguine, and the bark ragu, and they were some of the best dishes I've had anywhere. The service from Luigi was brilliant—I couldn't fault it at all. This place is a must-visit!

During our three-week trip across Scotland, we experienced the best food at this restaurant. I can't praise this place enough! The cheese soufflé was one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted. Every part of our meal, from the appetizers to the main courses and desserts, was absolutely perfect.
