The Bandstand Restaurant is found in the beautiful seaside town of Nairn.
It overlooks Nairn beach and benefits from spectacular, uninterrupted sea views of the Moray Firth. The Restaurant is named after Nairn’s famous Victorian Bandstand which is close by.
The restaurant was extended and entirely refurbished in July 2009. Inside the décor is simple and reflects the character of the nearby Fishertown area of Nairn. Features are made of the original building’s stone walls, toned in with sea blue and dark wood tables. Period photographs of Nairn when it was a fishing port adorn the walls along with antique fishing rods and local memorabilia. One entire wall of the restaurant is glass so all diners can appreciate the stunning views and, with luck, spot the native Bottlenose dolphins swimming offshore. The atmosphere is informal and service is relaxed allowing diners to chat between courses knowing that their food is being freshly prepared.
The menu offers an excellent choice of Sea Food, Steaks and traditional Scottish dishes from locally sourced produce. Click here for current menu.
The wine list has a good selection on offer along with a fine range of Malt Whiskies and Liqueurs.
Recommendations for the Bandstand Restaurant:
