OWNERS of the latest restaurant opening in Inverness are looking to bring something new to the Highland capital.

This weekend will see the awaited launch of Hou Hou Mei, a new modern Asian restaurant on Tomnahurich Street, near Tesco.

With bookings for tables on the opening weekend selling out in two hours, the restaurant will welcome the public for the first time on Friday, with a special opening for friends and family taking place on Thursday evening.

Inverness’s family restaurant scene is about to be given an Asian twist with the upcoming opening of Hou Hou Mei.

The brainchild of husband and wife JP and Karen Saint, Hou Hou Mei means “Yummy” in Cantonese.

And when it opens for business next month, it will cater to families looking for something a bit different on their day out together.  The focus of the restaurant will be on sharing platters that the whole family can enjoy.

Hou Hou Mei sits in a building just off the Inverness High Street that used to hold pizza restaurant Pepperoni Speciale.

JP and Karen are busy converting the space into a restaurant that will seat almost 80 people.
