ash restaurant & bar

Contemporary, new, cool, cocktail bar and bistro, Ash, is a recent addition to the growing restaurant scene in Inverness.

Ash is our new cafe/bar/restaurant situated right in the heart of Inverness city within the Royal Highland Hotel. Done out in rich cherry wood and taupe colours it is the place to be seen. Ash is where you come to enjoy good food with an even greater atmosphere and superb prices. The restaurant has something to offer for everyone with a wide variety on the menu with over 100 choices for you to choose from, whether traditional Scottish cuisine or something a little more exotic, from Paninis to steaks.

Inverness is wonderfully placed to access the very best of Scotland's natural larder, being fed from traditional industries of farming, fishing and of course, whisky making. So naturally our menus place great emphasis on this produce, with its natural quality and depth of flavour. Seafood and locally caught fish feature strongly, as do beef, lamb and game. Our hallmark is traditional friendly service combined with contemporary cuisine without too many twists or novelties - we make classic combinations as good as they can be.

We marry simple recipes and methods with fresh ingredients and first class presentation - true 'cuisine naturale' -doing as little as possible to change the natural character and flavours of the wonderful local produce. Add a list of very good wines carefully chosen to harmonize with the food - followed by a 'Spirit of the North' or two from our extensive and select range of Scottish malts, and you have the perfect recipe to induce a wonderful well earned nights rest.
