The Mustard Seed Restaurant

Really enjoyed everything. We walked in for the early seating and were pleasantly surprised with the selections, serving sizes and quality food. The mash was made from potatoes, not mash powder. Really popular place. Book ahead!

As we did our reservation, no queue time was needed upon arrival. We were seated on the first floor. Serving within 15 minutes upon ordering.

We ordered from the early evening menu. £19.95 per person for 1 starter and 1 main. Value for money.

Our meal started from the bread and butter. Mediocre. 2 stars

Then come the Scottish Gin. It was very refreshing and tasted wonderfully. 4 stars

For the starter, mushroom soup was nicely prepared. Fine and flavourful. 3 stars

For the other starter, Pickled Rollmop Herring was fantastic. We never tried this kind of fine taste before. The fish portion was unbelievably delicious. WOW. 5 stars

For the main, 28 day aged highland rump steak was out of this world. The steak was so nice and mouth-watering. The edge was a bit over-grilled and combined with the fat portion, wow, addictive and nonstop for us. It was so juicy and addictive. WOW. 5 stars

For the other main, mixed seafood Risotto was super delicious. We never tasted a Risotto with such a high standard, others from Italy. The rice was so flavourful, and seafood was so fresh. WOW. 5 stars

Ending dessert, ice cream on chocolate tart, wad a great ending of such a romantic and fine dinner. 3 stars

The ambience was perfect. We particularly enjoyed the charcoal fire that occupied the main hall. Service was attentive

Total bill for 2 persons dinner about £58. Value for money

We were squeezed in for a walk in table Saturday before Christmas. Despite being busy, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and never made us feel rushed.
I had the beetroot, pear, fig tart to start. Lovely flavor and pastry was perfectly crisp without being dry.
We both had the seafood linguine for main. The seafood was so fresh, plenty of it and the sauce was very rich and creamy.
All absolutely delicious and very much looking forward to going back.
We ordered off the set christmas menu with 2 courses for £15, I can't remember the last time I had such good quality food for such a low price - exceptionally good value.

Food, service, and ambience were fantastic! However, did not like being poked in a corner at the back of the restaurant when I have pre booked over a week in advance for a special birthday lunch!! Steak was juicy and succulent but had a large piece of gristle!!! Did not expect that at that price!!
Lovely restaurant next to the river Ness!! If you don't experience the above!!!

The Mustard Seed is a great fine-dine spot! The vibe is awesome, and the food is simply amazing. From start to finish, it's a delightful experience. Highly recommend!

This was the best experience of our trip. We were comparing all other meals to the meals we had here. The best thing is we didn't have a bad meal for the whole eight days we were in Scotland. By far the meal with the most flavor was the Wild Mushroom Tortellini. The cheesecake was some of the best I ever had.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and lovely staff. Its fine dining and a two course meal with bread and butter cost me about £15. Dessert is additional and about £6. The food was tasty and pleasing to look at. The staff is very accommodating and do not rush you at all which I appreciated a lot as I eat slowly. Maybe the only downside is that its a busy place so it can get loud at peak time and you might not get a seating with a view. They have a sort of loyalty card too, didn't have to ask for it, which is nice if you live around the place.

We ate lunch at the Mustard Seed on day one of our first trip to Inverness, largely as a result of the many good reviews here on Google. Being the holiday season they were very busy with reservations but were kind enough to find us a table. We chose from the three course Christmas set menu and each course was absolutely delicious. The interior design and ambiance are unique and charming as were the staff. Special shout out to our server, Hollie who was delightful.

Very good lunch menu at £16 for 2 courses was a bargain. Fish paté followed by a generous portion of delicious venison casserole. My waiter, Lily, was polite, helpful and efficient.

I recently enjoyed a delicious lunch at Mustard Seed on Monday, March 18. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was inviting, and the food was tasty. The set menu offered excellent value, with a starter and main for £15.50. I opted for the steak, which was an additional £3.95 and well worth it. Great knowledge on gluten-free dishes too. Highly recommended!

Very great food and the staff are so welcoming. Great price for starter and main set menu. Food was fresh and fast which was great!

Lunch at The Mustard Seed was fantastic! It's their attention to details, like lemon slice in our tap water and splitting our one large wine order into both our wine glasses, giving us best available seat at the time of our reservation, and it was a joy to observe the team of service leaders working in tandem to clear & set up a table for 4 in such a synchronously flow it would have taken years of working well today to achieve such a beautiful state of flow :-) Food was divine and we highly recommend eating here!

PS: thank you very much to the dear lady whom take care of our table, you totally made our day" we feel so comfortable" not been discriminate nor judge in anyway as a foreigner in town. Also super pleased to know you have committed 15 years to Mustard Seed, the owner is so blessed to have you in the team. Cheers

We had a wonderful meal for my birthday at the mustard seed. There was a varied menu with locally sourced food and some interesting specials. The fig started needed more blue cheese as was a bit tasteless. The service was great until the last 20 minutes when we had to pay at the counter as we had spent 20 minutes waiting.

Wonderful restaurant, with outstanding food and service. All the dishes we ordered were delicious and executed perfectly. We loved everything; started with the mussels, had 2 mains with fish and a pannacota and crème brûlée. It was a perfect evening and best total meal we ever had in Scotland so far.

Incredible overall experience!! Best service and food of our ENTIRE Ireland/Scotland holiday…hands down! Go here and eat and drink anything and everything!!

We were lucky enough to find this amazing place and grabbed a table for two on a very busy Friday night. The food was delicious, the view of the river was beautiful, the atmosphere was really nice and the service was absolutely perfect. Highly recommended!

This place has a deserved reputation. I booked the lunchtime table online it was very straightforward. On arrival the place was busy for a Thursday in January. We both had the special which was haggis, neeps and tatties in tribute to Robert Burns because it was the 25th January. We didn't wait long and it was so nice we also had a pudding which was just as good. Highly recommended and the staff were lovely.

Salmon, Beef were great. Service was prompt and friendly. The recommended venison was tough and the owner promptly brought a replacement entree. Must have advance reservations as there were walk-in hoards turned away.

Overnight in Inverness and chose The Mustard Seed for dinner, excellent choice, the food was excellent as was the service, don't miss this if you're there 😁

Highly recommend getting a reservation here! We were behind a couple that got turned away, luckily we had a reservation.
We got a table upstairs with a view of the River- it was stunning. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and they brought out a sparkler on the ice cream.
The food was super tasty. The service was a bit slow but they were slammed so it was understandable.
