Looks can be deceiving. From the outside, the restaurant seems quite modest. Once our meal arrived, we were amazed with the quality of the food! This place is worth a visit, especially if you are looking for gourmet quality at reasonable prices. The room isn't big. Even so, the poor waitress was the only one covering the room, which caused...

Not a fancy restaurant; in fact, very casual. But on the menu the night we dined were six fresh fish, each with a different potato prep; our turbot and hake were fresh that day, perfectly cooked and sauced, and the potato and other sides were great also.

Lovely meal in clean, modern restaurant. Not a great location, but the scallops make up for it. Delicious. Pleasant service and a decent selection of malts too. To be recommended.

Had the pleasure of a fantastic meal here and the food presented looked & tasted out of the world - delicious would be an under statement. Cannot wait to visit again whilst on my travels.

The Red Pepper Restaurant offers a choice of a traditional dinner menu in the dining room and pub food in the bar next door. While not exceptional, the food is good and the service is very friendly.

Visited the Red Pepper with 4 friends after an indifferent meal the previous night at my Hotel. Everyone had a good meal and my sea bass was excellent. Skipped pudding but those who indulged were pleased. Would recommend

This place is pretty decent and seems reliable have been a few times now, in both the restaurant and the bar. Has internet access too which is a bonus being there on business. Good choice of locally caught fish etc

Thurso is not blessed with great places to eat but the Red Pepper provides excellent food and service. We dined with family over Christmas and found the staff courteous, efficient and entertaining. The food was excellent and well presented.
