Few dining experiences can
rival a meal in the award-
winning restaurant at Culloden
House, the magnificent 18th-
century Highland country
home.
Surrounded
by
impressive Georgian decor and
seated beneath a glimmering
chandelier, you could be
forgiven for thinking you were
dining with royalty. The food
is equally impressive; it’s little
surprise the restaurant has
been awarded two AA rosettes,
in addition to its Eat Scotland
silver status. Head Chef
Michael Simpson has been at
the helm for three decades, so
the kitchen runs like clockwork.
Loch Fyne salmon, Scotch
beef fillet and sweet Orkney
crab are among the offerings,
while the turbot – laid carefully
on a bed of shellfish risotto,
langoustines and scallops – is
divine. If seafood isn’t your
thing, there is a variety of
meat and vegetarian dishes to
choose from. The roast breast
of wood pigeon, served with
blue cheese and poached
pear risotto, is a fine option,
as is the slow-cooked pork
belly with ham hock croquette.
Puddings, meanwhile, include
baked amaretto peach and
thyme brûlée. After your meal,
why not indulge in a whisky of
the month from the capacious
cellars of Culloden House?
