The Dores Inn

The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

Lying eight miles south-west of Inverness, the tiny village of Dores boasts the very popular Dores Inn. Housed in a small white-washed cottage that still retains many of its original features, the bar is small and sparsely decorated but the restaurant is cosy with a log fire in winter, and a few tables are scattered outside overlooking the loch. Taken over by Quintin and Michelle Stevens in 2006, it is the sister business to The Storehouse in Evanton, with a focus on good, locally sourced food in generous portions.
