Where to Eat in Dingwall: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Dingwall (Scots: Dingwal, Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Pheofharain) (Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: ['iɲɪɾʲ 'fjɔhəɾan]) is a town and a royal burgh in the Highland council area of Scotland. It has a population of 5,491. It was formerly an east-coast harbour but now lies inland. Dingwall Castle was once the biggest castle north of Stirling. On the town's present-day outskirts lies Tulloch Castle, parts of which may date back to the 12th-century building. In 1411 the Battle of Dingwall is said to have taken place between the Clan Mackay and the Clan Donald.

As we could not find any other (open) place in Dingwall, we decided on going to Wimpy. Kind of an unhygienic place. The food was so-so. The chicken burger was not bad, the beef was also okay.. Not better or worse than a McDonalds or Burger King. The jacket potato was empty and therefore dry. I would not eat there again - not even because of the food but the hygiene.

In for a evening meal. Quickly shown to our seats and ordered drinks. Popadums were brought while we looked over the menu. I ordered the Sheek Kebab as a starter which was excellent. For main course I had Red Fort Chicken Biryani and my partner had Lamb Pasanda with nan bread. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was of a very high standard. Well recommended.

Bought some BBQ spare ribs, Beef Curry and Sweet & Sour Chicken.
The curry sauce was literally made from bisto curry sauce powder that you can buy from the shop (could easily see it in the background) and the beef was razor thin and not fully cooked.
However the Sweet and Sour chicken was very nice and the BBQ spare ribs were too but the sauce seems jelly and full of fat.
First time here and not sure if we would return.
The staff were lovely though.

Fish batter burnt and full of bones, scampi cheap frozen, macaroni thick and dry, mixed grill dry. Guy on next table moaned about tough steak.Cakes etc for high tea were OK. Hardly any staff but they were good. Freezing outside with lot of snow, so why curtains wide open and dining room doors wedged wide open, place was freezing.

Friendly Tearoom which serves home made soup, sandwiches, baked potatoes and a great variety of home baking - caters for gluten free and will accept pre orders for large groups

We have visited on more than one occasion and find it a great, cosy, wee place. Staff always friendly and accommodating and food excellent. Very surprised at the negative comments! I simply don't recognise the tearoom from these.
Thoroughly recommended folks.....

It might look much from the outside but looks can be deceiving. Lovely staff, absolutely fantastic food with amazing flavours and brilliant value for money. It was our first visit but it certainly won't be our last.

10. Cottage Bar & Restaurant

Having moved to the Ross-shire area, The Cottage bar is our new "regular" for eating out.
We enjoy the food, (not massive portions), even though my preferred dish of chilli chicken leaves my mouth on fire! Staff very friendly. Lacks a bit of atmosphere. Could maybe mix up the menu a bit. Smokey meats always go down a treat
