Aye Eat
Aye Eat is a Scottish restaurant on Inverness High Street that cooks over a real charcoal Josper grill. The menu puts local suppliers first, with steaks and Scottish dishes given a smoky edge, and the dining room is decorated in a Scottish style. It makes a good first dinner in the Highlands.

The cooking
The Josper is a charcoal oven-grill, and it gives the food a barbecue flavour. Menus split into starters and mains, and a separate list of steaks, sides and desserts. Expect familiar Scottish flavours with a few twists rather than fine dining.
Who it suits
A kids' menu makes it practical for families, and its High Street spot is easy to find from the train station or hotels in the centre. The Scottish-themed decor suits visitors who want a sense of place with dinner. It also works as a relaxed dinner on a short break in Inverness, when you want local food without dressing up. Steak lovers will find the most choice, since the grill is at the centre of the menu. Book ahead in summer, when the High Street is busy with visitors heading to Loch Ness and the Highlands. Gift vouchers are available online too.
Booking and nearby
Book online through Tableo, or by phone or email. Inverness Museum & Art Gallery and the Steeple are a couple of minutes away for an afternoon before dinner, and Gellions Bar, one of the town's oldest pubs, is round the corner for a drink after.
