“ A Fantastic Dining Experience at Scotch and Rye! We had the pleasure of dining at Scotch and Rye in Inverness, and it was absolutely delightful! The atmosphere was cozy yet modern, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The menu featured a great selection of Scottish classics with a contemporary twist, and everything we tried was exceptional. The cocktails were a highlight, especially the ones crafted with local Scotch whisky, which added a unique touch to our experience. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, making us feel very welcome. Whether you're a whisky enthusiast or just looking for great food and drinks, Scotch and Rye is a must-visit in Inverness. We can’t wait to come back! ”
“ If you're looking for a fun bar with delicious food and friendly service look no further! The staff was very helpful and kind the moment we walked in. Their seasonal Christmas cocktails were a fun twist on familiar drinks. Definitely recommend! PS, their spicy sauce is no joke ”
“ Would rate this place 6 if I could!! Food was great and the service was amazing!! Recommend the crispy chicken wings. Shout out to whoever gave us the spoon so we could eat the sticky toffee pudding on the train- we thank ”
“ Exceptional food and cocktails. Very surprised to eat the best chicken parm I’ve ever had in Scotland. We came here 3 times in the 3 days we stayed in Inverness. Let that say it all. ”
“ Too tiny of a place for the amount of people that want to get in, but older gentleman server was great at juggling new arrivals wanting to get in while taking orders and serving all the food! First full Scottish breakfast I've had since arriving in Scotland few days earlier and really enjoyed it. The variety and portions were good and again the service was great. Totally recommend but hit and miss if you get a table, but worth it if you do!! ”
“ Popped in after discovering this is a sister establishment to Classroom in Nairn (which I visited yesterday). Lovely smashed burger, upgraded to brisket dirty fries and wasn’t disappointed with either. The Raspberry Mocktail was delicious too. Service was top notch and if I didn’t live right on the South Coast then this would be a regular for me. ”
“ Amazing food for an amazing price! Not often im spoilt for choice as a vegetarian but the three burger options alone was a tough one! They have a lunchtime deal for a burger and chips for 10 so we both went for that one veggie and one beef and it was so delicious. Lovely member of staff and lovely environment. Only sad I was so full as i would of had another just to enjoy it all over again. ”
“ Nice little restaurant with a good menu and very dog friendly. We were there during the week so no need to book and I wouldn’t book a table myself because they require a credit card to book and I refuse to give my credit card for that. We enjoyed burgers and chicken parm and our dog was offered water but we already had some. We definitely recommend this place as the staff are lovely. ”
