Bridge of Brown Tearoom in Highland

Lovley couple friendly stopped twice on trip to ullapool great coffee will definitely stop again next year for food and chat

Stopped by for a spot on lunch when on business in area. Food was cooked fresh and very nice! Friendly couple than ran it. Will be back when next in area!

What a great place for a lovely meal. It's even more than a tearoom, they have a good choice of meals on the regular menu and lots of specials too. Many of the dishes are home cooked and the chilli and rice I chose was very tasty and I had nice, lightly crispy chips on the side. Portions are good and prices are reasonable too. They have a selection of cakes, desserts and ice cream choices as well as hot and cold drinks. Great place to eat and it's run by a very nice couple and we chatted at length ! I would certainly recommend seeking out the Bridge of Brown tearoom.

Lovely little cafe ,which was just what we needed on our trip from Inverness to Craithie. The owner was lovely and couldn't do enough for us,the food was good and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend

My wife and I had passed this place earlier in the year but it was closed. This time we could see that it was ope and decided to call. We thought it was a the name suggests just a "tearoom". There is plenty of parking which is fortunate when you see its location. Inside was a very pleasant surprise. They had an extensive cafe type menu including many home made dishes and all at reasonable cost. The service was great and the two meals we ordered were prepared fresh and served piping hot. The coffee too was excellent. It is run by I assume a husband and wife who are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if you are heading to the highest village in the highlands Tomintoul. Unlike most Scottish Restaurants they do not allow dogs in. Please update your Facebook Page :)

Lovely little place and a perfect stop off for food and drink. The couple who run it are so lovely and we had a good chat with them. The food was really good and the menu choice is excellent.

Stopped of for something to eat when touring Scotland. Food we had was excellent and had the best cup of tea we’d had for weeks. The husband and wife who ran the tearoom were very welcoming and friendly.

Get yourself here great homemade food friendly staff wifi if you ask very reasonable prices . Good views on the way

Very welcoming family run the cafe.Food was ok.Prevailing smell of cooking fat would put me off returning.

Lovely stop for a cup of tea whilst touring the Cairngorms. Food options looked good too. Lovely scenery around and about.

Stopped for a bite to eat on our travels home, and was pleasantly surprised at the selection of food on offer. Quick and friendly service at a good price.

Really glad to find this place open and welcoming on our bike ride from Nethy Bridge to Tomintoul. Amazing scones abc great tea. Welcoming staff with lots of local knowledge.

We stopped for lunch on our way to our overnight stop at Taraland club site whose review follows. We both had full English breakfast most enjoyable and coffee. Place could do with spruce up but owners very helpful place and toilet clean and food edible.

The cake and cofee was fine but the interiour could use some changes as it looked a bit dirty. A fine place to take a break from driving.

Me and my partner visited this tea room for a simple cup of coffee, and of course a trip to the toilet, after taking in all those amazing sceneries from the “Snow route”, expecting to find nothing else than a hot cup of coffee, we found instead a very warm welcoming little environment, hosted by a lovely couple, where we had a very pleasant chat, about our already 12hrs journey.Really recommend, if you are looking for a bit of rest in a very cosy and homie environment.Thank you!

Stopped here for breakfast on a freezing Monday morning in May. Food was cooked fresh to order and the service was really efficient. Worth stopping if you are driving past.

We stopped here in the middle of nowhere when hungry. It is a lovely little cafe with great service. It doesn't pretend to be anything other and is excellently priced. We had soup and sandwiches and the children had chicken goujons. Scones and chocolate cake to take away. Stop if you pass it won't disappoint

We stopped here for lunch not really knowing what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. Toasties were fairly ordinary but served with a very fresh salad that went much further than the usual lettuce leaf and wedge of tomato. The burger was superb and my daughter was impressed with the chicken nuggets. The owners were lovely - friendly without being pushy. This is definitely a good place to stop if you're in the area, we'll certainly be back.

IF YOU EVER decide on a drive through the Cairngorms, it's good to know there is a place for sustenance. Bridge of Brown was unexpected as I drove south. Friendly faces large bacon roll and a good coffee - great. I guess they won't have many visitors when the snow comes, but in our heatwave, it was perfect.

They are meant to open every day apart from Tuesday and we really wanted to stop here for lunch today 9.5.18. Oh well....we will have to try again another day.........

I came across this gem on my way from Inverness to Edinburgh on A939 (in August 2012). I had some tea and chatted with the owner and his partner.They were really friendly. They also have some other drinks, food and snacks. This place is a must stop for anyone driving through this segment of A939.

Dtopped here on the way out the road. Soup and sandwiches all round as a brisk wind today. Great staff.

Llamamos aquí mientras en nuestro camino de Grantown en Spey para visitar Tomintoul. No parece muy emocionante, desde el exterior, pero nos quedamos muy gratamente sorprendidos por lo que nos encontramos. Es un poco informal, simple, con paredes de piedra, lugar encantador y manteles de colores brillantes. Tomamos el té y bollos y los otros pasteles parecía muy sabroso. La cafetería sirve una variedad de comidas informales, incluyendo sándwiches, patatas chaqueta y algunas comidas más sustancial como scampi, abadejo y algunas carnes. Efectivamente los precios son muy razonables. El servicio era muy acogedor y sin duda alguna volveremos aquí.

Este salón está situado en el medio de la nada y sólo está abierta durante la temporada de verano como sus propietarios trabajan en Aviemore durante la temporada de esquí. Yo sinceramente endore Comentarios ecms_rt y añadiría que los bollos que tenía allí eran los mejores que he probado y que incluye muchos en Davon y cornwall

Na een steile afdaling, of klim, nagelang de richting dat je komt kan je hier even uitrusten. We hadden een kopje warme chocolade melk met een stuk cake. Prima, aardige mensen en een leuk winkeltje, met o.a. Zelf gemaakte zeep en Keltische kaarten. Zeker even een bezoekje waard.

This little tearoom is in the middle of the moor and does not look very prepossessing but actually it is a very good spot to stop. It will only be open when the weather is good which is the only time tourists are around anyway - say April/May to early October for opening times. Lots of sensible food options on offer sandwiches, j/ps, toasties, soup and delicious looking cakes plus good coffee. Sensible pricing too.

Traveled up and down this road, past the Tearoom, and never saw it open. Ok, I was up there in late September, but so were many holiday makers..........perhaps I caught them on a bad week? Every tea room in Tomintoul was open.

Paramos aquí, después de un almuerzo en el anterior horrible de la ciudad y decidimos tener la tarta y té antes de ir de excursión. El interior parece un poco anticuado, pero está limpio y la gente del lugar son tan alentador poseer y tener una agradable charla con cada cliente tenía algún tipo de banana y arándanos tarta razón estaba muy bien. Porciones y te dan un agradable gran taza de té. Mi marido tenía el bollo de arándanos y también estaba contento con su elección. Buena relación calidad-precio.

Good food, friendly efficient service with a smile, great value for money. Will definitely be back! Fabulous chicken curry and red velvet gateau!

Paramos en este café principalmente para utilizar el retrete! Sin embargo, la alegre interior pronto nos vimos tentados a probar algo de comida. Teníamos un huevo con tocino y rollos de té y un chocolate caliente. La comida estaba bien preparada y no grasienta. el...

Stopped in on horseback - nice field nearby to tether horses. Went in with a party of seven for lunch. Great food! Many choices ranging from traditional to more modern cafe style. I chose the traditional 'steak pie' and was not disappointed! Delicious! Attentive and friendly service. Well worth the stop.

Reading other reviews here, maybe we just went at the wrong time ? We new of the cafe, so planned out walk to stop there half way. Just needed a sit down and we had tea and cake. Assistant was friendly and pleasant. My slice of Victoria sandwich was not a good choice, not sure what sort of imitation cream that was, but I don't want it again and My husband had very little in the way of fruit, in his fruit cake. On our walk there was no where else to stop. But if we were driving next time, I'd carry on past and stop in Tomintoul instead.

We stopped here on the offchance and was pleased to see we could sit outside with our dog. There was no one there which was kind of surprising as our food was lovely and coffee fresh and the lady was very friendly.

The Bridge of Brown Tearoom is a favourite with motorbikers, cyclists and walkers. It serves plain, but excellent food and the owners are lovely.

Have been visiting Bridge of Brown Tearoom for a few years now and have always had great food and service - the chicken goujons are really lovely. Cakes and bakes also really good - we often take extras away.

aw this place at the side of the road and decided to give it a try and we weren't disappointed!! The lovely lady served us quickly and politely with coffees and cakes. My husband had a fruit scone which was huge and stuffed with fruit and my son had the carrot cake which was gorgeous and he particularly loved the icing which I can never get right so that was a plus!! I had a cafatiere of coffee which was like proper Italian coffee and I would go back for that alone!!

We were cycling and had extended our trip to Tomintoul to include the climb to the Lecht. The Tearoom was a bonus on the way back. It lies in the dip between two steep inclines, so whichever way you are going, north or south, this is a good place to stop and prepare for the rigours of the 20% climb ahead. Nice menu, better café food than you have a right to expect, and genuinely nice people running the place. Where else would a café follow you out into the car park to wave you off and insist on filling your bidon

Fancied a spin out in the MG and thought this place fitted the bill. Nice place, nice couple, nice cakes and tea was tasty. Not too busy today either. Carried on to Tomintoul and Dufftown before motoring home. Perfect place to stop.

We stopped here on our way back from Corgaff Castle and as soon as we entered the tea room we were greeted by a happy smiling face and we were made to feel very welcome. We had a big pot of very nice coffee and the best scones we had had for a very long time. The owners did not rush us and we spent an hour drinking very good coffee and relaxing.

We are on our annual trip to the north of Scotland and because of the dire weather went for a drive. In need of something to eat/drink, we stopped here. Perfect The welcome, the service, the soup and the scones were tops. We ended up talking to the delightful owners, John and Anna for ages and ages. We will be going back again. Worth a visit by anybody. PS The views are also outstanding.

Six of us stopped here for lunch and received excellent friendly service and we all enjoyed the food we chose. Will certainly go back when we are back in the area.

I was there on my trip to Scotland in May. The Tearoom is friendly and clean. The tea was excellent also the Lemon Cheesecake was really really great. I can recommend this Tearoom.

Tucked out of the way, we were the only customers but don't understand why as the food, service and presentation were all good. A good cup of tea!

Stopped here recently one lunch time. Anna was very welcoming and has an infectious smile. Our food was cooked quickly and was very good. After our meal we wandered round the craft shop and even picked up a few Christmas presents. We hope to visit again soon in the summer (The Bridge of Brown Tearooms is closed over the winter).
