Inspired by the rugged beauty of the Highlands and the welcoming spirit of Crescent City, The Lochside was born from a love of good food, good company, and great views. Our family-owned restaurant is a place where tartan meets tropical, and every guest becomes part of the clan.
Our location on the banks of Crescent Lake offers a stunning backdrop for memorable meals,
romantic dinners, and lazy afternoons with a cup of tea and a scone.

Put down the dishes and let us do the cooking.
