It's worth a look if you're in the city, it's an interesting structure with history. The food hall is ideal for getting a reasonably priced quick lunch that satisfies many preferences. The main shopping area has a variety of stores. The range and appeal varies, but that's like any random collection of small shops. read more

I had time to kill and also needed to use the restroom. The historic covered shopping arcade features a Food & Drink Hall and shops. There are 30 independent businesses, but not all of them seemed to be open. It can be a good place to look for souvenirs or to get out of the rain. read more

This is a fun vintage market in the middle of Inverness that offers some interesting shops and good food opportunities. The ambiance is cool and that in itself makes it worth the stop. But we also found some delightful little shops. It's a great place to grab some Highlands and Scottish mementos. But the highlight for us was a place that provided frameable family heritage writeups with associated crests, etc. based on family name. It was a wonderful gift for our daughter-in-law, whose roots are Scottish. This place was not just for Scottish names but for many other European names as well. For food options, there were several tempting choices, but Bad Girl Bakery offered good sandwiches and baked goods, while Salt and Fire had some good veg pita options. If you're in Inverness, this retail complex is worth a stop. read more

When you are in Inverness, Scotland, I recommend dropping by Victorian Market. It is located in the heart of the city, and it is the home to many shops and other businesses. Do not miss stepping into their Food and Drink Hall. When we were there, it was bustling with activity. Basically, it is a large food court that you would find in a shopping mall in the States only the Food and Drink Hall is better in my opinion. First thing, we did was to try and find a spot to sit. The place was packed! A kind gentleman gave up his table for my wife and I. Thank you good Sir!! There were about a dozen food vendors to choose from. We chose to try Blazin Pizza. What an awesome choice!!! Definitely the best pizza that I have ever eaten in the entire United Kingdom!! We visited July 2024, and they have probably left the Victorian Market by now. The owners were looking for someone to take over their spot at the Food and Drink Hall. Hopefully, the business that takes over makes great pizza too!! Wish we had more time to explore the Victorian Market. We did not have the time to spare to see all that it had to offer. Til next time! read more

Cool indoor market of local shops! In the food court, we tried multiple places. The Asian, fish and chips, Indian, and loaded fries were amazing! Strongly recommend avoiding the pizza/pasta place- food was soggy and undercooked. read more

Lovely historical market located in the heart of Inverness - Built in the late 1800s. It holds a wide variety of shops and food spots and has a great little food hall in the back area where they have live music on weekends. You can find everything from famous Highland wool products to souvenirs to chocolate and candy in the shops. There's a pretty decent variety of food stalls too - and the only sushi spot we saw during our whole time in the Highlands! Each shop or cafe has their own hours and it can be hit or miss. We were there midday and about 60% of them were open. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The eating areas were very clean and well kept. Not sure about the parking situation as we were on foot - the town is extremely walkable. I know there's some street parking in the area. read more

I literally stumbled upon this place since our car was parked just steps away, and what a pleasant surprise! It's a charming dining and shopping hall filled with small and unique shops. I was immediately drawn to a spot called Cha Chaan Teng, which means 'tea café' in Cantonese. These cafes are popular in Hong Kong but the menu here are limited. I ordered the curry beef rice for £11 and had a lovely chat with the cashier about the area. The curry was delicious, with plenty of protein and onions. Afterward, I wandered around and spotted a cozy coffee shop, a butchery, and a few other interesting stores. Such a cute, hidden gem! Parking isn't that easy though. read more

This spot showed up as a must visit when in Inverness on multiple lists and we added it to our list as well. It is pretty small and has a lot of character. You see a fishmust-visitmonger, butcher, watch repairman etc...nice quaint little businesses. The best part is the food court. read more

Indian food and Chinese food was really good. The pizza place was terrible. The noodles were overcooked and mushy and the pizza was undercooked as well. Eat anywhere else in this market. read more

05/31/2024 Friday 11:00am. One of our stops to grab a quick bite and shop if we wanted to. An interesting little place. Mom and pop shops, fishmonger, seamstress, and a food court. Stopped in at badgirl bakery for a garlic cheese twist and my kids for a pork sandwich nearby at another shop located inside. The market is eclectic to say the least. Wish I had more time to enjoy the rest of the city. read more

Victorian Market - Bad girl lime coconut cake. Loved the balance of tart and sweetness. Wonderful with my coffee later that night. - Shopping Centers Near Me - Inverness, HLD

Inverness' version of a public market. There are many great food vendors to choose from. Grab a dish and find a spot in the center eating area that's open seating. They have a lot of options from burgers and traditional Scottish delights to Chinese and Indian. Beyond the food market, there's a little area with a few shops. The twinkle lighting on top makes it look like it's always Christmas! read more

We visited the market to eat lunch and do some shopping. The shops had a nice variety and the food court had a varied selection of food. Overall a nice stop. read more

I went to the Victorian Market on a whim for a quick lunch. There was several different booths to grab lunch at including barbecue, sushi, a sandwich and soup spot, and bar girl bakery. I ended up going to Bad Girl Bakery to grab lunch. I had the sausage roll and macaroni and cheese. Both of these were excellent! I could have gotten away with just ordering one of them and being full. I ended up with leftovers to take back to the hotel. The sausage roll had a crispy and flaky pastry and the macaroni and cheese was seasoned well and had a nice variety of cheese. The seating here is community style. It was tricky to find a seat as it was busy when I arrived there. There are many different shops in the Victorian Market to buy trinkets and other souvenirs. The prices were reasonable at many of the tourist shops, and I was able to get some stickers and post cards for cheap. I think overall the Victorian Market is a great place to go for lunch if you are looking for a wide variety of cuisine. read more

4/10/23, hit this place and most the stores were closed since it's the day after Ea at Dr here, it's a Monday. Only 3 retail stores open here and they close at 5:30pm. Only 3 food locations open in the food hall. Went and bought a cappuccino at the bar girl place and it was burning hot. Be careful. It was was tasty. No photos taken. Gave it a total of 2 stars. They did a remodel and it looks great. It's hard to rank it since everything was closed. Looking forward to others ranking it when all the stores are open. read more

It's chock-full of markets, shops, and restaurants, and they all shut down super early. We popped in at 3:30 on a Thursday, and almost every shop was starting the long process of closing up for the night. We thought that was a bit strange, but kept walking through the halls, anyway. The three or four shops still open at that time were an ice cream parlor, a drug-store-type place, a place that made keys and a cafe. I do wonder what it's like in here around the holidays, as it gives off a very strong "Welcome to Your Winter Wonderland" feel. It felt a bit kitschy, and a little over-the-top. We didn't spend much time in here since most of the places were closed. We did make a circuit of the whole building, which gave us a chance to escape the afternoon drizzle. But, we didn't go back before leaving Inverness for our next stop. It just didn't seem to be worth it. read more

Very cute arcade with a hodgepodge of shops, located in downtown Inverness. The wide range of stores runs the gamut and included gift shops, a spice shop, jewelry store, tartan shop, dressmaker, hairdressers, a spiritual healer, as well as a milk bar so you can get energy to do some shopping! It was also very refreshing to see that the stores were all proper mom & pop stores, with nary a high street chain in sight! Everything was clean and well kept and if in the area, recommend coming and checking the variety of shops! Yelp 71/ 2019 read more

Such an cute little addition to the charm of Inverness city Centre. A small Victorian Market catering mainly for the locals. Complete with Fishmongers, Butchers, Repairs and Engravers shop as well as small cafes and a gift shop for the tourists. We had a lovely wander around and bought the obligatory Scotty Dog Fridge magnet and cuddly nessie and settled into Cafe Victoria for a quick bite. Cafe Victoria is a Cafe come gift shop selling every item you could imagine, cushions, pens, frames with inspirational / comedy quotes on. Inside they offer a good range of value sandwiches, jacket potatoes and cake. The Mrs and I went for soup of the day which was lush. Butternut squash and sweet potato with some bread. Under £4 and really hit the spot. Bargain. It's well worth a visit while in the city. read more

The Victorian Market is a nice hidden market with lovely cafes and other shops like butcher, barber shop, flower shop etc. I found it while I was trying to find a place to kill some time and wait for my husband. The cute little coffee shop inside, which I don't remember the name, had outdoor seats and my mother-in-law and I had tea and shared a yummy ginger cake! I'll definitely be back when in town. read more
