Edit: went back to Badenoch’s after they changed ownership. The service was still, not very good, but the food came out quickly. However, I ordered the chicken tenders, which to my knowledge were meant to be plain southern fried tenders, however, they had some sort of sauce all over them, making the sauces served on the side a bit useless. I don’t know if they just haven’t updated their menu, but it definitely caught me off guard. Also the table we sat out was dirty, so I’m not sure how clean they keep the place these days. I’m upping to 3 stars because the food was better, albeit a little strange. Went here on a trip to Elgin before moving and was not impressed. The staff were really nice but the food took over an hour to come because they only had one chef, understandable, but they should warn customers. When the food finally came, our starter came out with the rest of the food which was irritating but whatever, we were very hungry by this point, but unfortunately the burger buns were stale and fell apart immediately after being picked up so we had to both eat our burgers with a knife and fork and no bun. Definitely won’t be back for food but again, the bar staff were very kind and that’s why I gave at least 2 stars.

This was my first visit to this restaurant/bar for a number of years. On my last visit, it was named the Cooperage. At that time I was not impressed. A gloomy atmosphere and service was slow and not particularly helpful. It was not so, this visit. The dining area was much more welcoming, and service was quick and friendly from the two members of staff that I encountered. There was a decent range of dining options on the Christmas Menu, and prices were reasonable. Most importantly, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch

Honestly the worst experience had from start to finish. Was like we had walked into a prank cafe, wrong juice, wrong food, no till roll, staff rolling eyes when we told them orders were wrong and the food was substandard. Left a funny taste in your mouth. Anyways we won’t be back

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I went out with my friend for birthday drinks/food at Badenochs, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! As someone who is quite picky and usually stick to my safe foods, I was a bit nervous about trying something new. However, the small plates we ordered were absolutely delicious. The service was exceptional. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and noticed right away when I wasn’t enjoying my drink. He kindly offered to remake it, and my friend happily took my original drink instead. It’s rare to find such thoughtful service, especially for someone like me who can be particular about food and drinks. I highly recommend Badenochs for its amazing food and outstanding service. I can’t wait to return!

The service was impeccable. There was a particular waiter who was attentive, commonly checked in to see if we were enjoying our food or needed anything. They were always smiling and kind when speaking with us. I am unsure what the waiter’s name was, but it was a man with dark hair and arm tattoos. He should especially receive praise. The food was fabulous and the cocktails were amazing. The staff were accommodating at doing cocktails that weren’t on the menu too, so that was great. Will definitely come back to Elgin purely just to come here again!!!!

Food was good but several dishes not available even weekend specials (went on a Friday). Same with drinks, no ingredients for several cocktails and wine out of stock. Service was really poor for both food and drinks. Booked a table but ended up being double booked.

My chum and I went in for lunch today,we both had the ribeye at a cost of 46 pounds for both. Very unhappy the only hot thing on the plates were the fries, this was after waiting 40 minutes! Disgusting never eating there again.

Incredibly slow. Unbelievably unprofessional. Kitchen can't handle more than a few orders at once..no snacks for the table and servers seem lost half the time. They don't work for tips so there is no motivation to care for the patrons. Seems more like a spot to get pissed than a restaurant. Shame. Has potential but it's squandered when you have to wait an hour after ordering for food. I train wait staff for a living and I was disappointed to say the least. Haven't tried the food yet so couldn't comment on the quality. Make sure to get a reservation anywhere else.

Food was mediocre and under seasoned. The salt shaker at our table was near empty, so it couldn't have been just us. The atmosphere was strange and felt like a restaurant in a long hallway. Overall, the quality of this place did not justify the price we paid, and we left before ordering a second drink.

Do not go here expecting this menu or you will be very disappointed. When we arrived we were informed they didn't have chips but thinking we were ordering burritos this wasn't a big deal but it wiped out a big chunk of the menu. But we ordered 3 small plates and a chicken satay Pulled pork was very good, the rest disappointing. Nachos hardly any toppings and I think the guac came from a supermarket squeezy bottle and completely tasteless Chicken satay, no flavour and dry. I had 2 cocktails which were delicious, however, they didn't either have the ingredients or knowledge to make my original choices. I would suggest updating this page to avoid misleading other potential patrons

I had a battered fish with salt and peppered fries. Amazing, the best fries, the mushy peas has a hint of fresh mint and the fresh Peterhead haddock was soooo fresh, it fell apart when I tried to put it on the fork! My partner ordered wild mushroom tagliatelle. Same, out of this world. The atmosphere is so relaxing, music, natural surroundings and friendly and helpful staff makes it definitely somewhere to go. I WILL be returning the next time we are in the area.

We went to Badendoch for dinner. It was a Tuesday night and it was relatively quiet. Service was OK, staff were friendly but not very attentive. It felt like we were forgotten after the food was served. To the point that I had to go to the bar to pay for the meal. The atmosphere was mostly ok but there was a large party celebrating a birthday and it seemed that there was a need to be going up and down between the first floor and the ground floor making a lots of noise. This became quite annoying as you could hardly hold a conversation it was so loud. We all ordered burgers for mains and the food was actually very good. The dessert was also good. Overall not bad food but the atmosphere and level of attention by staff would probably point me to try something else on the high street.

First visit for myself for lunch with a group. Some items were unavailable which I know some were a little disappointed about. But, service was very good, our server was thorough, helpful and efficient. I chose the chicken satay small plate and the nachos small plate. Both were lovely, I'd have preferred a bit more sour cream and guacamole, but that's just my preference. I'd recommend it for groups. It appears to be dog-friendly too. We had one member in our group who is celiac so a gluten-free menu was provided, however, fries weren't an option for them as all are cooked in the same frier. I'd imagine this place to be quite busy at weekends. Booking table is recommended.

We have just revisited Badenochs having furst visited here about 6 months ago and it’s still just as good if not better. Badenochs re-opened last year under new management. The decor in places is a little tired but at the end of the day this is a new venture from a young couple who are more than holding their own in a very competitive market of pubs in the town most of which have large financial backing from well known franchises. As far as the food goes we found an extensive menu of burgers, small plates, steaks cooked to perfection and chicken satay to die for. A great choice of local beers, wines and of course a well stocked whisky bar. We found all the servers although young were polite and friendly and the management professional and hard working. In short you’ll not find better food and value for money in Elgin. It’s also a very accommodating place suitable for all ages including kids and dogs are allowed which for us is a bonus. There is even a beer garden!! The biggest in the town. A great pub run by a young ambitious and enthusiastic team.

Black walls, black plates, black napkins, black uniforms, none of which do anything to improve an already lack of atmosphere. In an establishment where a choice of seating was available, why were shown to a booth where the bench seat was already ripped in half, not exactly a good start. The menu selection was good, if you liked burgers, or burgers of any kind, a bit of persuasion eventually got a vegetarian menu produced, there was also a Sunday roast available, no choice of meats,beef only, this was acceptable apart from the vegetables, which appeared to have come from a bag of mixed veg and had been cooked by some method beyond recognition. No offer of deserts was made, we had to as for a desert menu, no cheesecake was available. No decaf coffee was available, in fact there was no knowledge of any decaf drinks being available. Prices are by no means cheap. I would have thought that with a name such as Badenochs, some local, Scottish food would have been on the menu. Overall there was a general lack of interest, and hospitality training, which would not encourage us to return l

Badenoch’s delivers a friendly welcome and food has always been good. And the menu changes. Not overly priced but well worth the asking price. A variety of drinks is available; we once managed brandy but was unsuccessful most recently. Whisky and cocktails their speciality. But no brandy? Shame! Beware if you’re sat near the entrance. It’s draughty and they watch their heating costs. There’s some distance between kitchen and tables so make sure your food isn’t cold - unless ice cream of course. All starters/mains available this time. The server provided a dessert menu and then returned later to tell us 2 of the 4 options were unavailable. Communication issue? Fortunately, STP still on. That’s sticky toffee pudding - yummy! Staff suffer from amnesia. Once finished the mains, no one came to clear the table to ask if we wanted a dessert. I assailed a server who began to clear a neighbouring vacated table. We seemed forgotten! And the delay in serving the dessert seemed interminable. My party has experienced this delay before so it’s not a one off. Diners can age noticeably as they finish their main course and start their dessert! 🤭🥱⏱️

Decided to eat here as we had a great experience both with food & service on 3rd January Bitterly disappointed this time. Myself & 2 other family members were seated & given a menu by the one female staff member, there was also another male floating around We received our drinks & food which was really good but from then on we were completely ignored. The lady who served us sat at a table on a computer right in front of us but never enquired if we required anything else We were looking at the cocktail menu but sat so long in the bitterly cold venue that we decided to leave We then stood waiting to pay our bill & in the end had to ask her to attend to us We told her we were disapointed with having to wait & being ignored after our great experience last time but she said she was on her own.... maybe, but it wasn't busy & she completely ignored us.... big mistake as we took our business elsewhere & will not advise others to eat here

Decided to try here for dinner.Based on word of mouth and positive reviews we walked in on Sunday night. The place wasn’t busy so we were seated by the window by the waitress.Ordered our food and drink,everything so far fine,but my partner had to go up to the bar to ask for more drinks,a complete bug bare of mine when in a restaurant as you should never have to do that,it’s the staff’s job to check if we need more drinks ! The food was really tasty if a bit slow,but as it was good we let that go. BUT !! We won’t return till spring/ summer as we were frozen,we were dressed for winter,but the draught coming in was awful and there’s nothing worse when going out for dinner and being cold.

The staff were super helpful with us and even offered to get me a padded seat due to my current disability, I declined, but it was nice of him to offer. Make sure to book in advance at the weekends as empty tables are few and far between (which goes to show how good this place is). Fantastic and thoroughly recommended. 5 stars ★★★★★

My wife and I popped into Badenoch's for lunch. Neither of us had been there before, so we were giving the unknown a try! Immediate impressions of the bar/restaurant were positive, through the door into a spacious area, with a friendly welcome from one of the staff members. We were seated and given the menu to choose from. Not a massive menu, but nicely varied and everything sounded lovely. We opted for 3 of the 'small plates' as they were described on the menu (Pork belly bites, halloumi fries, and bao buns with teriyaki beef to be specific) as they were described on the menu, and didn't have to wait long before they were on the table! First impressions of the food were promising! All 3 dishes were presented beautifully, and a bit bigger than what I would say is your usual starter-sized portion. The halloumi fries were crispy, tasty, and the guacamole was particularly outstanding. The bao buns were a super size, the beef was very nicely done and the dressing on the plate added a very nice tang to the dish. The pork belly bites blew us both away. Succulent, with a beautiful sauce, strong but well balanced flavour, and plenty dressing to soak up the last of the sauce. Out of three excellent dishes, this was our favourite. Safe to say that we were both very satisfied with the service, and passed on compliments to the chef via our friendly waitress. For a quick but satisfying and excellent quality lunch, I can hardly reccommend this place enough! Well done Badenoch's!

What a gorgeous spot. Even on a quiet Monday, the place had people coming and going all evening. Popped in here, not expecting much but I must say the salt and chilli chips are next level. The Flirtini is delightful and the servers are attentive but friendly, no coldness or standoffishness. The setting is gorgeous too. Next time I'm here I'll be back. One thing to note is possibly putting some vegan mains as one halloumi burger for a lactose intolerant person meant starters and sides instead of a main. Otherwise beautiful place

Terrible service and food quality! The dishes were below par and definitely not worth the price. The waitstaff seemed disorganized and struggled to match orders with tables. After placing an order, you had to practically chase down servers to get any updates. Unfortunately, there's no menu specifically for kids. Many patrons grew frustrated with the long wait times and ended up leaving early. This spot might work for a quick drink at the bar, but aside from that, I'd recommend avoiding it.

Badenoch's is in desperate need of management, communication, and service lessons. Went for an early dinner and waited an hour for food due to a miscommunication by staff. Watched another couple walk out because drinks ordered never came. Food was decent, but was almost charged extra for fries that were supposedly included. Bill adjustment was made, but again, miscommunication due to an old and new menu. Basically, not a must eat. They need help organizing.

Everything was lovely - especially the steak/peppercorn fries - best I’ve had! But what impressed me was when I went to pay, the guy asked what the kids had so he could take it off the bill as kids eat free mid-week! We had no idea and he didn’t have to tell us.

Initial impression on entering was “very nice” looked promising. Initial server was very good and helpful. We ordered some small plates as a starter and our mains. We didn’t have to wait long before some food came out. However it was one of the small plates and one of the main meals. We asked for the main meals to be served all together after we had finished the small plates (starter). The homemade nachos were very good, could have had a bit more guacamole and sour cream but very tasty. Other small plate was meant to have king prawns in it but they were definitely not king prawns but tasty all the same. When the mains came out these came out in drubs and drabs with quite a delay in between each dish appearing. The first 2 plates out where the venison burgers but minus the fries. Actually had to ask for these before the burgers went cold. The blue cheese sauce that was requested with the venison burgers came in the burger but this was requested on the side. My fish and chips that originally came out with the small plate was tasty but the chips were tepid. Staff were very nice but I think some need a bit more training. If they are unable to carry more than 2 plates at a time then maybe trays should be used to ensure whole table get their food at the same time. We asked if they had a dessert menu…. Staff response was “ I don’t really know”. My husband went to pay our bill at the bar. Three staff were not really doing anything right in front of him and took a few minutes to realise he was actually needing served. Tip….. double check your bill for all charges as we had a random charge on ours. It was removed but worth checking. Nice place, nice food and so much potential.

Very good food (we enjoyed a fish and chips and a 10 oz rump steak, with chips), very good wine (two large glasses of Italian Pinot grigio), a luxurious dram of a 15yr whisky and, last but not least, very good music at the correct volume to accompany the conversation. Total satisfaction is the result.

Nice place for a drink. We sat in the garden which I think might be a bit of a work in progress but lots of space and tables. Food was OK, friendly, efficient service.

This is clearly a fairly popular place for their “small plates for £20”. If I wasn’t gluten intolerant it would have been great. However I wasn’t able to order from this menu due to my dietary restrictions. I was happy to discover they had a small gluten free menu when I asked for gluten free beer (which they did not have). However, I was told they could only give me a burger on the gluten free menu due to a broken fryer! Of many options, only the burger was available. So hungry, I went with the burger. Having very little success with gluten free buns in the past, I passed on that. The burger itself was tiny. But deliciously hot and juicy. Too bad it was covered in partially melted like plastic processed orange sliced cheese (not noted on the menu). It was served on a small bed of lettuce with one slice of tomato and a tiny (and I mean tiny) portion of coleslaw. Honestly not worth the £10 they charged. At the end of the day it was sufficient for what I wanted but don’t order it if you’re hungry. You will leave dissatisfied. This could have been easily resolved by serving two of these tiny burgers, more garnish and a heftier portion of coleslaw. Or some other gluten friendly side like crisps or salad. I don’t often write bad reviews but this was so lacking, I couldn’t not. I won’t be back. And to top it all I had to go to the bar to pay. This was unexpected.

Daughter was in today for her birthday dinner. Staff attitude was appalling. Manager apologised but not so much as a drink was offered. Birthday dinner ruined, my family will not be back. Disgusted!!

Just what Elgin needs. Limited choice for quality food in the town but this place fills the void. Food lovely, service exemplary, ambiance perfect. Definitely visit again

A decent selection of malt and beer although no Southern Comfort and the service was slower than a week in jail

Ordered food, came relatively quick. The presentation was top notch, even Gordon Ramsay has been real quiet since Baddies re-opened by the main man Nate and his partner Ashlyn. The staff members are all legends, very polite and knowledgeable about their job and what they are serving. The food was 11.5/10. Would comeback in a heartbeat.

Wir waren 2x dort,da hieß es:Leider keine Lieferung erhalten, also kein Essen...Wir probierten es ein zweites Mal....Wir warteten 1Stunde,15Minuten auf das Essen...dann zahlten wir unsere Getränke und haben das Lokal verlassen. Also für uns kommt diese Lokalität nicht mehr in Frage.

It was a Sunday evening and the first restaurant we tried required bookings. The bartender recommended Badenoch’s. It is much larger than it appears on the outside and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Our waitress checked with the kitchen about food issues (3 of us do not eat pork). The drinks were tasty as my wife and daughters enjoyed the specialty drinks. We had a variety of plates-the Satay was juicy and tender, the fish and chips were flavourful, the sweet potato fries were really tasty. The only so-so dish was the onion rings, but the Venison burger was served hot and required no condiments. We would definitely come back while in Elgin!

The food here is really good much better than 'pub grub' . My husband had the three small plates for £20. He said they were absolutely delicious. My haddock and chips we're perfectly cooked and probably the best I've had anywhere accompanied by creamy, minty peas and tasty tartare sauce. The staff were friendly and efficient. We would heartily recommend a visit.

Not so great. Poor disabled access due to staff parking. Not big on hygiene and not somewhere you would take your old Mum

DO not make the mistake of going after 1530 as they only serve coffee and cakes then and you must sit outside

Awesome place with a gigantic choice of scotch whisky as well as a large collection of japanese whisky. This combined with a absolutley cozy atmosphere, delicious food and very very friendly staff makes it a fabulous place to spend the evening. I had the classic haggis balls as a starter, the fish&chips as main and toffee cake as a dessert. Everything was just outstanding. It was so good, we will pay it another visit tonight.

Our suppers were very good and usually are always, the person behind the counter was clearly struggling on her own with large orders on the go, what a shame I felt sorry for them

I visited Miller's cafe in Decora,Elgin, on April 11th after shopping in Decora's lovely garden center. My friend and I regularly visit Decora and we love to try out Millers cake and scone selection on sale. We were both delighted on this occassion to buy a scone we had not seen before. The scone was Peach and Apricot. We found the scones to be absolutly delicious. Very light and full of the fruity flavour. Well done Miller's cafe for these delicious fruity scones. Our cuppachino coffee was very nice too.
