My top 3 food places in Inverness

Coming from a rather 'defective' family, eating out can be a mission. Out of 5 of us there are two vegetarians, one coeliac omni, one dairy and egg-free vegetarian (me) and one 'normal' omni.

Miele's Gelateria

Perfectly positioned a street back from the river that runs through the centre of town, Miele's sells the best ice creams and sorbets I've ever tried. They also do a dairy free ice cream and are happy to chat about allergy needs which makes the world of difference to being able to confidently order. My favourites have to be their Irn Bru sorbet and the definitely indulgent prosecco sorbet. Perfect for date days and after work treats, Miele's are a must visit.

 Blend

Tucked just around the corner from the Eastgate shopping centre, lies this utter gem of a cafe. I would  get (and have) every meal possible from them. Ideal for everyone, the selection of food is incredible with filled bagels and epic cakes being the specialities although the soup of the day is up there too. Catering to vegans and with loads of gluten free options of the menu as well, Blend is one of my favourite places to grab food with friends or grab a bite to eat when I'm working. My personal favourites have to be their 'Basil Faulty' bagel, the 'Fooled pork' bagel and their spicy noodle soup.

Zizzis

With their allergen menu, Zizzi's were the first chain restuarant in Inverness where I could go and have a meal without feeling like a massive pain in the arse and without having to worry that my food would then make me ill. The ability to eat without worry is a wonderful thing and Zizzi's are one of the places that allow that. More and more restaurants are starting to cater for people with allergies but its slow progress and every single one is special to those who struggle. My favourites are for sure their vegan lentil ragu, their vegan pizza with all the toppings and the new chocolate tart. Yummy!

Perfect for food with friends and family, the best kind, these are my favourite places at home to visit and those I can eat in confidently. Happy eating!!!
