It isn’t unheard of to spot images of food and drink on social media platforms, to say the least. Particularly on Instagram.
It is becoming more and more common to capture our own pictures of not only delicious-looking grub but also the picturesque setting we’re enjoying it in.
And that is why many hospitality businesses now go the extra mile to try and achieve that well-sought-after ‘Instagrammable’ look.
So we – The Press and Journal Food and Drink team – have compiled a list of all the bars, restaurants, and cafes in and around Nairn where you will find just that.
Househill Cafe
Situated on a working beef farm, you can rest assured knowing the produce you tuck into Househill Cafe is fresh, local, and seasonal. Not only that, but it’s also highly Instagrammable.
It was founded by a husband and wife team – comprising a chef with more than 20 years of experience and an interior design consultant.
They hope the blend of good food and great aesthetics is something all visitors enjoy and will keep you coming back time and time again.
Address: Househill Courtyard, Grantown Road, Nairn, IV12 5RY
Mosset Tavern
The Mosset Tavern, formerly a mill, became a bustling tavern in 1973 and has been welcoming guests from all over ever since.
The bar “is essentially a playground for adults” – according to the business’ website – and the beer garden offers fantastic photo opportunities for Instagram fans to take advantage of.
There are some cocktails available that we think would look fabulous on your feed, too.
Address: Gordon Street, Forres, IV36 1DY
The Havelock
The Havelock has views over the Moray Firth and takes full advantage of its position with a large beer garden, perfect for enjoying a drink on a spring or summer evening – and for snapping pictures, of course.
Its newly-renovated bar stocks a great range of premium lagers, beers and real ale, gins, cocktails, and Scottish single malt whisky. And well-behaved dogs are also welcome.
Address: Crescent Road, Nairn, IV12 4NB
The Sun Dancer
Having visited The Sun Dancer at the tail end of 2022, I can say with confidence that it is one of the most Instagrammable food and drink establishments I have visited in the north of Scotland.
Despite visiting when it was dark outside so I was unable to soak up the views of the Moray Firth, which the venue overlooks, the interior and dishes were something to shout about.
I would highly recommend paying the restaurant a visit.
Address: Harbour Street, Nairn, IV12 4PH
Ozzy’s Fine Dining Restaurant
Ozzy’s, open from 10am to 10pm daily, offers guests a relaxed and informal dining experience.
Whether you would prefer a light lunch of homemade soup and a toasted panini or a three-course meal, the team offers freshly-sourced food cooked to order with friendly service.
Address: 46 High Street, Nairn, IV12 4AU
The Cafe at Logie Steading
After choosing what to tuck into at The Cafe at Logie Steading, you’ll undoubtedly struggle to not photograph your dish or sweet treat.
The menu features everything from breakfast rolls, soup of the day, ciabattas, salads, and pies to homemade cakes, tray bakes, and scones, so there is something to suit all tastes.
Address: Logie Steading, Forres, IV36 2QN
