About The Mustard Seed Restaurant

Right on the River Ness, and if you can get a table upstairs you'll have the views plus space to take in the room while the children fidget. Book ahead — it fills up, tables can be small and it gets loud and busy at lunch, though nobody's hurried out. Portions are generous enough that no one leaves hungry, and presentation is genuinely lovely. The fish is where it shines: crispy skin, tender flesh, the seabass with couscous a standout, along with breaded brie and haggis for anyone feeling brave. Some find the seasoning gentle, so a bland mash or plain gnocchi isn't unheard of. Service is quick and attentive, and the team will go out of their way for an occasion — one family emailed ahead about a birthday and got a surprise dessert. High chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options, buggy access and outdoor seating.
