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 2008
"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, 2008
"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 - come decked out with wood tables, crisp white linen and leather banquettes, backed by attentive but unobtrusive service. The food is equally fashionable, modern European, delivering quality ingredients cooked with flair. Dishes come attractively presented but sensibly not over embellished as in roast fillet of cod with creamed spinach, baby prawns and a roasted cherry tomato dressing. While the carte cranks things up a gear, the fixed-price lunch and early evening options offer excellent value."
- theAA.com, 2008
"Inside the vibe is contemporary chic, with gleaming wooden floors, panelled walls and upholstered booths The bargain two-course lunch might include chicken and white bean soup, followed by spiced pork casserole with chorizo sausage and roasted red peppers with coriander and crisp polenta. The carte is altogether a more sophisticated affair, matching Orkney crab with avocado, crème fraiche and a sweet ginger and chilli dressing, or halibut with Parmesan creamed cauliflower, new potatoes and an egg and asparagus sauce. The comprehensive wine list covers Europe and the New World, with whites starting at £13-50."
- The Which Good Food Guide 2008
"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
