A Taste of Thailand in the Highlands

Tucked into Nairn’s bustling High Street, Thai Cottage brings the vibrant spirit of Thai cuisine to the Scottish coast. This unassuming spot specialises in classic Thai dishes, from rich, coconut-based curries and tangy stir-fries to fragrant noodle bowls and aromatic soups. The menu balances traditional recipes with accessible flavours, making it a welcoming choice for both Thai food enthusiasts and those trying it for the first time. Dishes are prepared with care, using fresh ingredients to deliver the balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy that defines authentic Thai cooking.

Cozy and Casual Dining

The atmosphere at Thai Cottage is simple and friendly, focused on good food rather than flashy decor. Whether you’re grabbing a takeaway after a day on the beach or settling in for a relaxed dinner, the space feels warm and unpretentious. The staff are known for their helpfulness and genuine service, adding to the sense of being somewhere locals trust for a satisfying meal. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a generous portion of green curry with jasmine rice or a plate of pad Thai without breaking the bank, all in a laid-back, no-frills setting.

Perfect for a Quick, Flavourful Meal

Thai Cottage works especially well for visitors looking for a convenient, tasty dinner option in Nairn. Its central location makes it easy to reach on foot from nearby accommodation, and the menu offers plenty of familiar favourites alongside a few more adventurous choices for those wanting to explore. The restaurant is open for dinner most days of the week, closing on Tuesdays, so it’s worth checking opening times if you’re planning a visit. While it’s primarily a takeaway, there is limited seating for those who prefer to eat in.

Practical Tips for Visitors

Because Thai Cottage is a small, independent spot, it’s a good idea to arrive with some flexibility, especially during peak dinner hours. The menu is straightforward but satisfying, with options that cater to a range of tastes and spice preferences. If you’re new to Thai food, a classic tom yum soup or a mild red or green curry with rice is a great starting point. For something more distinctive, the jungle curry offers a hotter, more herb-forward experience. The restaurant is also a solid choice if you’re looking for a quick, affordable meal between sightseeing or after a walk along the Moray Firth.
