Evening meal for 2 - The quality of the food served was excellent and the staff were brilliant. Very good portion sizes and the menu was large enough without being extensive, which I prefer. Would highly recommend.

About the restaurant

BABETTE IS THE NEWEST and most electric addition to the city centre. We are the fresh perspective, the late-night spark, and the vibrant soul of Academy Street. Your new obsession has a name, it’s THE BABETTE

Babette has officially arrived as the high-octane heartbeat of Inverness, flipping the script on the historic Rose Street Foundry. We are the newest, boldest, and most electric kid on the block—bringing a New York-style brasserie energy that the Highlands have been waiting for.
Our dining room doesn’t just sit; it swells with energy as guests linger late into the night over locally brewed beers, crisp champagne, and house cocktails crafted with a modern edge. Led by a dynamic local team, we bring classic dishes alive in new and delicious ways that are fiercely fresh.

From locally soured seafood, oysters, lobster, mussels and scallop to fabulous beef and venison we have you covered. If you're looking for a low key fish and chips we are that guy too

We cant wait to meet you x
