A bold new chapter in vegan dining
Salt'N'Fire stands out as the UK’s first fully vegan takeaway, bringing a fresh, high-energy approach to plant-based food in the heart of Inverness. Housed within the recently revitalised Victorian Market, it’s the brainchild of a team of classically trained chefs with experience in five-star kitchens and under renowned names like Albert Roux. Their mission is simple: to prove that vegan food can be exciting, deeply flavourful and far beyond the usual salads and chickpeas. The menu is a vibrant mix of Middle Eastern, Asian and modern street-food influences, designed to surprise and satisfy even the most adventurous eaters.Flavours that travel the world
The menu changes regularly with daily specials, but core favourites include falafel drizzled in tahini with pickles and muhammara, miso and soy-glazed aubergine, empanadas stuffed with roasted red peppers and chipotle chilli, and punchy kimchi wontons. Signature dishes like the dirty fries and hearty buddha bowls are generously loaded with sauces, pickles and textures that keep each bite interesting. Everything is made in-house where possible, with an emphasis on bold seasoning, contrasting textures and vibrant colours that make each plate as visually appealing as it is delicious. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian or just curious, the food here is designed to be satisfying and memorable.Inside the Victorian Market food hall
Salt'N'Fire operates from a compact counter in the modern food court of Inverness’s Victorian Market, a historic covered market on Church Street that has been thoughtfully refurbished into a lively hub for local food and drink. The setting is casual and contemporary, with shared seating, exposed brickwork and a bustling atmosphere, especially at weekends when live music often adds to the vibe. The space encourages lingering over a meal or grabbing something quick to take away, and the staff are known for their friendly, knowledgeable service. It’s a great spot to refuel while exploring the market’s other independent traders, from crafts to coffee.Who it’s perfect for
This is ideal for visitors and locals who want a quick, high-quality, plant-based meal without sacrificing flavour or creativity. It’s particularly appealing to vegans and vegetarians looking for something beyond the usual options, but also to omnivores who enjoy bold, globally inspired street food. The casual, counter-service format makes it easy for solo diners, couples and small groups, and the relaxed atmosphere is welcoming for families and friends. Because it’s takeaway-focused with shared seating, it’s best suited to those happy with a more informal dining experience rather than a traditional sit-down restaurant.Practical details for your visit
Salt'N'Fire is open daily, with slightly shorter hours on Sundays and Mondays. It’s a takeaway-first operation, so ordering online for collection is often the fastest option, though walk-ins are welcome. The food court can get busy at peak lunch and dinner times, so arriving a little earlier or later can help avoid the longest queues. There are no table reservations; seating is first-come, first-served in the shared market space. The menu is entirely plant-based, with many dishes naturally gluten-free or adaptable, and staff are usually happy to help with dietary questions.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
