Genuinely one of the best dining experiences I have ever had, and I have eaten in some very good places. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel incredibly welcome and that absolutely nothing was too much. We shared a one person Scottish platter for our starter then my friend had the monkfish while I had a surf and turf for mains. Now, when it comes to steak I usually expect to be mildly disappointed but not in this case. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. The whole plate was a triumph. This little, unassuming place is an absolute must if you are anywhere in its vicinity, and if you’re not then it’s worth every minute of however long your journey is to get to it.

Had a great experience here, the staff were very friendly & attentive. The food was good, especially the lobster however the steak was a bit dry & lacking in flavour but the puddings were fab and can’t fault the service.

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and has a cosy, relaxed feel and stunning artwork to look at. We received a warm welcome and from arriving to leaving the service was excellent from the 2 servers on that evening. A lovely touch of an amuse bouche which was a shot glass hit of mushroom and seafood soup. A big burst of both flavours with neither overpowering the other, very clever. Perfect small plate portions of prawn cocktail and brown bread. Mains of monkfish with dauphinoise potatoes , lemon sole with capers. Both excellent mains and the best quality monkfish I have ever eaten. Finished off sharing a panna cotta , passion fruit layer on top and sable biscuit. An evening of excellent food and excellent service - we look forward to visiting again if in the area.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Amazing food and excellent service. Can’t recommend this place enough. We had 3 courses. All of which were delicious. Esme and Jess were excellent waitresses. The Swiss chef villie was lovely and talked to us about where the fish was from and how he ended up in Lossiemouth at the end of our wonderful evening. If you are ever visiting this place is a MUST for a delicious meal. You won’t be disappointed.

This is our fourth visit since moving up in November 2023. July 26th was our wedding anniversary (15yrs) With food like this you don't go anywhere else for you're seafood on a special occasion. We were shown to our table and surprised to see a wedding anniversary banner across the table ( nice touch !) Wife had the monk fish, lobster, coconut curry soup (10/10) l had the seafood platter to start (amazing again !) For mains my better half had the Lobster which the ownee Willie recommended and sorted for her (thank Q 20/10) l had the surf and turf seafood platter (20/10) The service again from the ladies was fantastic and help make it. We look forward to seeing you in September with our friend.

It was great to return here and find things even better than before. The high quality food and service is a real jewel for Lossiemouth, indeed Moray, that has hardly any seafood-predominant restaurants. One of our party was gluten free and the staff were superb explaining the menu choices (which were pretty much mostly GF anyway!) and when serving the food. For mains, most of the family had the seafood mix grill, I had the halibut and it all kept us quiet as we enjoyed it! Puddings were squeezed (just)...the chocolate ganache tarte was out of this world (as you would expect from a Swiss head chef). The prices were good too, considering the quality and portion sizes offered. Well done to all at Catch 79 for the highest standards in dining

We attended this restaurant with family members. We were politely met by Beau our server and she was attentive and informative. A very pleasant young lady . We ordered our starters and mains which duly arrives. WOW the food was so pleasant and beautifully presented. It was so tasty and served by Beau and a happy Emily Both girls seemed to work well in a very busy restaurant. Every table was fully occupied whi h did not over stretch the 2 servers Our experience of our meals was outstanding. The quality and quantity was great we loved our food and presentation. Everything wS locally sourced and cooked by a great chef, in Willy. He was so creative with his gluten free options and we loved our time there. Thank you to all the staff and thank you for some outstanding food .Yes it is mot cheap but we paid for great quality and tasty food. We have no problem recommending this restaurant as a must visit but be warned, booking is essential . .

We were bowled over by our dinner at this great restaurant. The food is sublime. The warming logs stove was most welcome on a June evening in Moray. I had a starter consisting of seared Shetland scallops, strawberries marinated in Drambuie, crispy Parma ham with a wonderful olive oil/herb dressing. Sounds weird but it is a truly superb dish. Fresh local lobsters with a garlic lobster served with three delicious salads. You could have had fresh vegetables and chips. Finished with a panda cotta served with gorse flower jelly! Wonderful. There are plenty of dishes with a Scottish twist. I think you could only have gorse flower jelly in Scotland. The staff are delightful and attentive and genuinely appear to be enjoying things. Willie, the chef/owner walks around his restaurant talking to diners and very happy to answer questions. The whole experience was delightful with very clever and thoughtful cooking

Having had a number of fantastic meals here before, when it came to places to cater for a large business dinner I contacted the owner who opened up the restaurant on a Tuesday evening especially for the event. Arranging the dinner was very easy. Although catering for a large group of 19, the service and quality of food was exceptional. My scallops,monkfish and trio of desserts were delightful. I cannot recommend this place enough.

An excellent dining experience last evening. Locally sourced seafood that was prepared and presented to the highest level by a chef who obviously has a passion for his work. The staff were all welcoming, friendly and professional with chef coming out at the end of the evening to chat to guests. This meal could not have been bettered at any big city establishment - Lossie is so lucky to have it. Superb value for money, I don’t know how they do it but this is a gem of a restaurant not to be missed.

Ate here yesterday evening with my husband, and we absolutely loved the place. The food was superb, pleasant ambiance and very friendly staff. We shared the seafood platter to start which we'd recommend - the prawns and salmon in particularly were of very high quality. For mains we shared the Monkfish special which was delicious. The cheesecake for dessert was the perfect finish. We will certainly be visiting again when next in Lossie.

2nd visit and certainly not our last - Truely. This was our second visit. We moved up from Torquay in November and on our doorstep is the fishing town of Brixham. We thought the fish served in many of the resturants we visited whilst living in the west country could not be beaten !!! But one word sums up Catch 79 sublime !!! We made a point of letting the owner and his excellent staff that we have eaten in many many fish resturants around Torbay including Brixham and this surpasses everything we have tried ! Thank Q from us both and we look forward to returning soon !

Visited here a few years ago and had a pretty average experience. Not this time! New management have turned this place round. Great new interior facelift. Amazing service from really lovely attentive and caring staff - waitresses were a treat and the chef even came and chatted to us (twice!) But the highlight was the food - all of it. Amuse Bouche was absolutely beautiful - I could've gladly just eaten a vat of this! Seafood platter was incredible. Monkfish was amazing. Truffle and parmesan fries were unbelievable Best main was the smoked haddock risotto - best I've ever had!!! Local beer and fantastic wine selection. Fantastic to see someone really raising the bar for Lossie - best in town by a long shot and so great to see a talented chef making the most of the stunning local produce. Top marks for Willie and thanks again for a great evening.

First time visit to this local restaurant. Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Quality food and lovely presentation. This was a first time visit for us. Somehow feel it won't be the last. Only one tiny 'blip'. When we arrived there were 5 tables for couples dining. No reservation signs. I asked nicely if we could have a much nicer table (we were given a tabe that made me feel as if i was sat in the middle of the restaurant- i feel very anxious and uncomfy when given a table like this). I was told it wasn't possible. No room for negotiation. I could have understood if any of these tables were reserved. Was not the best start to the evening. Luckily the food redeemed itself. Next time I shall ask.

Food was superb and we were very happy with the service. Our only issue was the closeness of the tables - the restaurant were not to blame for the noisy group at the next table but the close proximity did mean that we could hear...

We went in for a drink only and bumped into a friend. We were then joined by another friend and were having drinks. About 2245hrs we were very abruptly told to drink up or they would take our drinks from us, as last orders had been called earlier. we had been provided a round about 2230hrs and were the only people left. Their stated opening hours say closing at 2300hrs. Perhaps a little better communication from the 'apparently senior staff member' may have prevented our leaving feeling so disgruntled and demonstrated they understand the meaning of hospitality. The result was one of our group stating they would not return. Communication is everything

Excellent in every way! We ate here 4 times in 4 days, 2 lunches and 2 evening meals. Good is fresh, delicious and decent portion sizes. The “Specials” truly live up to their name. Particular highlights included mussels in white wine sauce, haddock goujons and the brisket. 3 of us are coeliac and they provided us with an allergens menu. They had run out of GF bread/rolls some days but kindly allowed us to use our own. Service was friendly and staff happy to answer/clarify and queries we had. Small wine list with lovely choices to suit the cuisine. Highly recommended!
