Contrast Brasserie - Inverness

Still my favorite restaurant in inverness. yesterday had a wonderful dinner to the birthday of our sohne. ben and his team went beyond to make it special. much appreciated and many thanks again.

What can I say, this is probably the best restaurant I've been to in Inverness. Booking was no hassle either online, through the phone or visiting beforehand. However it would be best to book in advance. The atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxed and inviting, almost a home feel. The wine cellar and Himalayan salt fridge for steaks are in full view. Starters were Duck with Alpine Slaw and Cajun prawns. Both were cooked perfectly and seasoned really well. Great quality seafood and meat. Good crisp vegetables. The prawns may be a little spicy for people not used to it. Mains were the Venison, Sirloin steak, Chicken and Vegetable Linguine. The venison was no doubt the best I've had in the region, perfectly cooked for me (really rare however they will accommodate people) fantastic seasoning and sides. Chicken equally good and the smoked butter was fantastic. The vegetable Linguine though plain looking on the menu, was great for our vegetarian in the party (extra parmesan and chilli flakes available) the steak however really shines, dry aged on site and accompanied with local vegetables and homemade chips. It was divine, however I'd miss out on the sirloin and ribeye to get the fillet as that one I've heard is extremely decadent. Desserts we had were 3 scoops of sorbet (cherry, strawberry and apple) and the Gin and Tonic cheesecake. The sorbets were light and refreshing, perfectly tart and the apple had a great cardamom twist. The cheesecake was light and delicate boasting fruity and botanic flavours. Beverage selection was good with a wide variety of wines and spirits. Overall the food was fantastic, the staff are friendly and efficient (service was great throughout the night however due to covid our desserts took a long time though we weren't in any rush) the location is great and pricing is reasonable (better with the new eat out to help out scheme too) I will definitely be coming here everytime I go to Inverness

Been to contrast for a pre-theater dinner a few times in the last weeks recommending the eating, personal and environment are all great and it is really convenient for eden court

Fabulous eating, seafood meat and veggie tried all over 4 days all excellent to die with desserts. great friendly and well-known local staff, great location on the shore of the river ness with fantastic intimate ambiente for couples. the best restaurant and hotel in which we have been in for a few years. when they speak whisky with rob, who will also delight them with his knowledge and enthusiasm about the thema.

Excellent staff and delicious food with a great choice on the menu.
