The Royal Highland Hotel's Ash Restaurant & Lounge Bar is a favourite with locals and visitors due to it's classical design and varied menu featuring many dishes inspired by traditional Scottish Cuisine. The restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner. All the ingredients used come from within the local area, the Shellfish and fish come from the Moray Firth and Hebridean ports, and some of the world's finest beef, lamb and game are naturally-reared on nearby farms.
The Royal Highland Hotels Grand Lounge allows guests to enjoy pre-dinner and after dinner drinks from liqueurs to wonderful Scottish malts.
Dinner is served from: 7pm - 9:30pm
Breakfast is served from: 7am - 9:30am
