River House
A cozy seafood restaurant by the River Ness, famous for its seafood claypots and oyster happy hours, highly rated on TripAdvisor.
Located at 1 Greig Street and run by chef Allan "Alfie" Little, River House is one of the top-rated seafood restaurants in Inverness on TripAdvisor. The signature dish is the seafood claypot, which varies depending on the daily catch but often features scallops, mussels, and prawns. Baked oysters with Parmesan and pancetta, as well as the fritto misto, are also highly popular. There is an oyster happy hour in the early evening, though prices and times vary by source. The restaurant has only about 30–35 seats, so reservations are strongly recommended, with tables limited to two hours. On an undated menu, the seafood claypot was priced around £33.95. It is just a few minutes' walk from the city center across the river.
