The town's long-standing ties with the North Sea fishing industry and its rich agricultural surroundings endow it with a bounty of fresh, locally sourced ingredients that have shaped the city's food scene significantly. Seafood, particularly the region's famed smoked salmon, Loch Ness lamb and Black Isle beef, grace tables with flavours as intriguing and diverse as the landscape itself. The town of Nairn boasts a cornucopia of eateries, each showcasing their own interpretation of traditional Scottish cuisine with a modern twist. The town's history of gourmet dining traces back to an era where it was known as an opulent Victorian spa destination, which welcomed visitors from all over the kingdom who desired sumptuous meals along with their restorative leisure.

One mustn't forget to pair these meals with a dram of musky, amber Highland whisky to round off the gastronomic adventure that this quaint town promises.
