Absolutely perfect. The haddock was the best I've ever had and I'm getting on! It was beautifully cooked, lovely light batter, tasty and flaky, served with horseradish peas salad and lemon. The peas tasted like they'd just come out the pod literally. It was absolutely smashing. Friendly service too. If it wasn't 500miles away I'd go every day!

Been at the Bothy a number of times, usually lots of choice especially for vegetarians. Checked the menu prior to booking - lots of options. Arrived - advised no menus anymore - look at the large blackboard in the middle of the restaurant - so you’re stood lurking alongside a large group of people having dinner trying to decide what you want ?! Only one veggie option - a lentil Dahl - wasn’t sure but server said she’d had ! Arrived with a poppadum which had been cooked earlier - and was soggy. Dahl was so so salty it was inedible ! Was asked what was wrong and explained and older server challenged my comment about the popppadum being soggy - was quite aggressive in her delivery ! All up - quite a disappointment !

We visited for dinner on a Thursday evening as a wee treat for the last day of our holidays and what a treat it was! When we went in it was busy and had a really nice atmosphere with modern but casual feel. Staff were all super friendly, helpful and attentive. The menu is small but they also had a few specials available too, personally I like a small menu as it usually means it’s all fresh! Menu had lots of seafood options - so if you’re a seafood lover, you need to try this little gem! I also noticed the food and drink menus had lots of local produce which I really appreciate! We had the Haddock and Mussels for our mains both of which were incredible! We then shared a dessert which was a Chocolate Orange Tart from the specials board which was also wonderful - very rich but not sickly in the slightest. We were given a bottle of water for the table which came in an old gin bottle from Burghead. I asked the staff about it as we could not locate it online - turns out it’s their own gin which is only available to drink/buy in this restaurant or their sister restaurant (Bootleggers) we were very impressed by this too so bought a bottle as a gift for someone. Overall I love this place and can’t wait to return in the very near future!

Can’t comment on the food because we never got any. Arrived after 11 am but before 11.30. Nothing on website when breakfast stopped but asked waitress when we went in if breakfast being served. She checked and said yes and showed us to a table and provided menus. Another couple arrived and were shown to a table. The waitress then returned to say the kitchen had closed early. Shocked and disappointed we left feeling if they don’t want our business we don’t need their food. Won’t go back. Suggest phone in advance to see if they will dain to serve you.

Excellent dinner out for 4 adults. Two of us had beautifully cooked duck breast, another had Sea Bream, and one had Tuna steak with Nicoise salad. All the dishes were excellent, beautifully cooked, full of flavour and decent size. Excellent deserts as well. Service was friendly and attentive but not intrusive. The setting is nice and relaxed and not too formal. Would definitely come back again.

Not dog friendly so didn't actually eat here. They need to move with the times and the owner needs to get out more. Can eat outside but as it was cold and wet that was not an option.

We had a excellent meal at the bothy bistro last night,the food was delicious, my wife is a small eater and asked for the macaroni cheese from the kids menu which was not a problem, I had the steak which was very tender and tasty , my other friends had the duck and the burger which both were delicious .the staff were really helpful and friendly. Will definitely recommend this place to all my family and friends.

Visited the Bothy for the first time today after following for a long time but never had the opportunity to visit. A warm welcome from all the staff to begin the visit was lovely. They were serving a Christmas menu that offered so many delicious options it was hard to choose! To start we both had the Brussel sprout fondue, a fun concept and very delicious way to enjoy a sprout! Followed by (for me) the Turkey & trimmings (my auntie) the sea bass. I’ve never tasted Turkey like it - melt in the mouth and all the trimmings cooked to perfection, the sea bass was also devoured. We weren’t chased out either which was lovely and would highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.

Wonderful food and excellent service in an independent cafe/restaurant. It was a busy night with a few bigger groups (xmas nights out) and the staff were so good, attentive without imposing, great communication and calm efficiency on what could have been a challenging night. I had scallops - perfection, seabass - delicious and pana cotta to finish. I will recommend this gem of a place in a heartbeat.

Loved everything about this place! The food was amazing: beautifully prepared, well presented and so tasty. The staff were super helpful, friendly and chatty and the ethos was all very much about local produce and trusted suppliers. The Spanish red wine Petit Albert Penedes was lovely and smooth and I'll be looking to get hold of some of it myself! Can't recommend The Bothy Bistro highly enough.

We had an amazing dinner at the Bothy. The restaurant was full which says something. The next thing that says something is the front of house, who was very welcoming and relaxed. The team is young and they did a great job looking after us. The decor is understated chic; F&B blues and complimentary fabrics. Very nice. The menu was great. Local produce in terms of fish and meat, very well balanced in terms of fish, veg and meat and great options for vegetarians without trying too hard. As starters we had, an amazing olive tapenade with a bright green olive taste with citrus and anchovies in the background and an amazing roasted heritage carrot hummus. Both dishes were absolutely stunning, with great flavours and building anticipation for the mains. The mains. One pescatarian and one flexatarian who like sharing. The meat option I remember was a locally sourced burger. As a fish dish, I had Cullen Skink, a dish that originates a few villages down the coast. Visually, it looked incredible: enough creamy sauce with a parsley oil, provided a bed for mussels, trout fillets, smoked haddock and some beautifully crispy potatoes. The flavours were very well balanced and the creamy sauce provided a beautiful accompaniment to all of the solids on the plate. I was reluctant to share. My dining companion had the roasted beets on a feta cream. The feta cream was thick and creamy, without being cloying and somehow the saltiness was not overpowering. The beets were beatifully cooked: sweet, light charcoaling from the pan and just firm enough to bite. We also had some grilled greens to accompany which did what they were supposed to. I'd love to describe the puddings but we were sated after 2 course. Next time. There will be a next time. Booking essential, I think.

Service was sporadic! Had to ask 3 times for bread to go with a chowder and lemon water and dish for shells from mussels. Mussels extremely small and sauce had texture of water. Was offered replacement but rest of party had almost finished their meal so just ate it . Second starter arrived after reminding staff we hadn’t received it . We were sharing starters and other starter was finished before second one arrived! Not even a free coffee for the fact I didn’t enjoy meal and service was bad! Won’t be rushing back.

We had visited this bistro before lockdown and found the food to be very good. We returned this September 2023 and what a difference! I think it must have changed hands. We were told to find a seat but were not offered a menu. There was a specials board which consisted of three items, one of which was for sharing. My husband went back to the counter and asked for the menu. The choice was not good as we don't eat meat. There was no indication on the menu as to whether the meals were vegetarian, gluten free, vegan. We got very little in our plate for the price. I had mackerel pate which was accompanied by fingers of bread which was so hard l thought it was going to break my teeth. Will not be visiting again.

A truly exceptional night out for our family who numbered 32. The minute we all arrived nothing was too much trouble for the staff of this establishment. The main room had been set out with 3 tables just as I had booked yet it was so much better than I expected. The real star of the show was the food. 3 courses ( all pre-ordered ) just amazing. When you are catering for this number and people have come a long way you worry. Ashley specifically told me to relax, this was her job. She meant it. Every dish was immaculate and our every wish was pre-empted. One of our guests was in a wheelchair: no problem. She left early and was given her pudding to take home. A small detail you might think. Not for her. An unforgettable night. Thank you.

Somehow I managed to get the date wrong for our booking (though definitely my fault) and so we turned up a day early. The staff were amazingly nice about it and still managed to accommodate us despite all the Covid restrictions. The food and service...

We stopped at the mobile bistro by the caravan park for Chilli Whitebait and fries along with two coffees it was lovely. The staff are so friendly and along with the picnic benches a great spot to have lunch.

Had Prawn and Crayfish Cocktail. Absolutely superb. Not the cheapest but still well worth it. Would highly recommend.

After a long drive, we were in search of some hot food and decided on the Tandoori. We were the only ones in. Food was delivered fairly quickly. We opted for a Lamb tandoori tikka and Paneer Bombay Special with pilau and mushroom rice. Food was piping hot and tasted nice. The chap who served us, I think was keen to get off home so we ate our food as quick as we could.

While staying at findhorn bay camp site we decided to try Pizza for a quick meal . We had ham and pineapple pizza , garlic bread with feta dip and finished it off with tiramisu.It did not disappoint, especially the tiramisu.Decent size of pizza , plenty for 2 of us with 2 slices left to eat later .Didn’t have long to wait .

Our B&B host recommended the place so we give it a try. We started with the locally famous cullen skink that was one of the best we had in Scotland. My wife took the Scottish chicken and I went for the deep-fried Scottish prawns. Both were tasty and fine. Portions were generous so we skipped the dessert. Nice settings, friendly staff , reasonable prices.
