Have been meaning to try Ardnamurchan for ages but so glad we now have. Really nice 3 course Christmas menu. Lovely varied menu and all cooked perfectly. Great atmosphere with a buzz but you could still hold a conversation. We will definitely be back in new year to try the a la carte menu.

I recently dined at Hazel, had a wonderful evening and already cannot wait to return. The drinks menu specifically was very impressive, offering delicious mocktails and non alcoholic beverages which catered nicely for my sister who is pregnant. The service was outstanding, we were very well looked after all evening and the team made us as comfortable as possible. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. I can’t wait to return after hearing about the different seasonal menus the restaurant offers. Overall, Hazel offered a superb dining experience with exceptional food, impeccable service, and a delightful ambiance. I look forward to returning.
