The best restaurant in Scotland has just been named by a UK-wide awards.
Inver in Strachur, a small village on the shores of Loch Fyne in Argyll and Bute, was picked out as the best eatery in the country by the National Restaurant Awards.
Located in a former crofter’s cottage and boat store, Inver is run by award-winning chef Pamela Brunton and her husband Rob, who took over the site in 2015.
The NRA team praised Pamela and her team describing Inver as "an emphatic celebration of Scotland’s larder that displays great reverence to the provenance and quality of its local ingredients".
Lauding this distinctive little restaurant for its excellent dishes, they added: "The à la carte lunch and dinners menus feature fresh, simply prepared seafood, as well as native meat and game in season.
"A four-course tasting menu is also served in the evenings, which uses current cooking techniques and a combination of local, wild and farmed ingredients to offer a contemporary take on traditional and forgotten Scottish dishes."
They also made reference to the fact that Pamela's expert focus on supporting and maintaining the ecosystem that surrounds her restaurant has led to Inver to become one of the first restaurants in the UK to be awarded the new Michelin Green Star, which recognises sustainable practices.
