What the press says about us:
"Excellent modern diner with accent on inexpensive daytime and eclectic evening menu. For some time now the consistently good place to eat in the centre."
- Peter Irvine, Scotland the Best 2010
"In Inverness, Rocpool is arguably the best restaurant of its type, a vibrant eatery serving fresh, tasty food in a relaxed, stylish environment A couple of courses with wine and coffee will cost around £30 in the evening, and they serve a very tasty and moderately priced lunch menu (ideal for impressing work colleagues over a business meeting). And don't forget to check out the chic unisex loos, another feature that further distinguishes Rocpool from its contemporaries."
- The List, 2010
"A busy city-centre brasserie with sleek contemporary interior, riverside views and an energetic atmosphere, Rocpool brings a touch of modern style and glamour to town. Lots of wood and glass - with windows the entire length of the long, slim room - comes decked out with wood tables, crisp white linen and leather banquettes, backed by attentive but unobtrusive service. The food is equally fashionable in the modern European vein, delivering quality ingredients cooked with simplicity and flair. Dishes come attractively presented but sensibly not over embellished as in chump of lamb roasted with garlic and thyme and served with Lyonnaise potatoes, oven-roasted tomato, zucchini and spinach. While the carte cranks things up a gear, the fixed-price lunch and early-evening options offer excellent value."

"a fizzy brasserie on th banks of the River Ness, Rocpool aims to bring some energetic pizzazz to Inverness. Locals appreciate its cool contemporary vibes, bold colours, and family-friendly attitude, not to mention its busy modern food. Good value lunches and early evening deals give to a full carte that mixes Meditteranean inspired ideas with a fistfull of eclectic classics: pork cutlet with seared cotechino sausage and a white bean cassoulet could sit alongside halibut with spiced shrimp and corriander cous cous, tempura prawns, minted yoghurt and cucumber salad. 'Fish on Friday ' specials are worth waiting for(roast fillet of sea bass with sweet pea, spinach and crab risotto, for example) while desserts have featured hot baked lemon meringue pie and pannacotta with pink rhubarb. The global wine list promises fashionable drinking from £13.95"

"Out of town, a special award for refusal to give into cosy provincial second bestness must go to Inverness's rocpool ... Sunny cosmopolitan leanings shine out in Steven Devlin's cooking. There's a refreshing lightness and flair with things Italian - plus a passionfruit jelly to kill for." 9/10
