Dine in the Castle Restaurant
DINING IN A SCOTTISH CASTLE RESTAURANT HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER!
The restaurant at Dornoch Castle Hotel is well known for serving local produce and high-quality food with friendly and efficient service.
Our 2025 menus have been created to showcase some of the great local produce in the area. Dornoch Distillery products are present in several dishes across the menu, with local Scottish suppliers such as Bogrow Farm, Tain Fine Cheese, and Cromarty Brewery also featured. Our sides and sharing dishes are perfect for family-style dining, and we also have a small children’s menu.
In the summer months, the restaurant is open daily from 6-9 pm.
During the winter months, the restaurant is open daily from 6-8 pm, however, on quieter evenings we serve dinner in the whisky bar.
A sample menu is available to view below.
To make a dinner booking, either contact the hotel directly or book through our 3rd party partner OpenTable.
