The Mustard Seed Restaurant

I went here for my birthday. Menu is marked GF for applicable food. I had roasted veg skewers with salad and feta cheese. Followed by pan seared salmon, mash and asparagus. Then creme brulea with raspberry. At the start when I informed them of allergy I was offered oatcakes sealed in a small packet (nairns gf) instead of bread. They weren't phased by the request. I had no problems at all. I don't know about cross contamination in the kitchen, like any restaurant really. I don't know how well up each waiter was but I felt we had a really good evening and the good was delicious and the waiter knew which food was gf in the daily dessert board. Worth noting that on the day we went, lunch time menu had many more gf options than evening. I am also a veggie.

A reasonable choice of GF or GFA available. Order clearly made but when main course came (menu notes it as GFA) there was no difference. I queried this and was assured that it was all GF. I asked them to check the menu which they then did and removed the dish as it contained gluten and no alternatives had been provided.. The meal was replaced, BUT should not have had to question them!

Couscous was labeled as gluten free when it was not. They served my coeliac daughter a dish with breadcrumbs and assured us it was gluten-free, only to come back a few minutes later and apologise that it wasn’t. The manager was very nice and the food was good but this is not a good place for coeliacs.

A number of decent options available and staff knowledgeable. Even gave some gluten free oatcakes to nibble on instead of bread whilst waiting on the starters. Good deserts available too! Highly recommend

My go to restaurant in Inverness for gluten free. Can't praise their food highly enough!
