Letterbox Restaurant in Highland

Excellent food and good VFM in this restaurant earlier this evening. Very extensive menu amd great quality food for such a small town - and all that well in to the autumn. Casual and friendly in style. would well recommend. Lawrie West, Dunfwrmline, Fife. Sat 5 Oct 2024.

We loved our meal here! It was so good, we went back the next night. Make sure you book ahead! Dougie was great! He was friendly and engaging and even gave me a tour of his kitchen when I mentioned I had always dreamed of opening my own place.

Definitely get a reservation. We were there at end of September and called late afternoon for a table and got one of the last 3 for the night! They were all gone by the time we arrived. The cullen skink was too hot to eat at first (as a soup should be) and was hearty and filling. My mother had the pork loin with stilton, walnuts snd a sauce that I’m not sure what it was. This was a combination of flavors I would not have considered but she loved it and the bite she shared either me was really good. My entree I jokingly described as Scottish chicken cordon bleu: beautifully roast chicken (slightly crisp outside (not skin) with moist meat, girded in ham, topped with a whisky sauce and stuffed with haggis. It was amazing! The chicken tender, the haggis balanced perfectly. I gave my mother a taste (she was leery of haggis) and now she wants it again! If you have never tried gourmet haggis - try it here! Would go again. Would recommend.

Jammy - das war einfach superlecker. In einem kleinen Dorf erwartet man nicht solch ein leckeres Restaurant. Wir waren vollends begeistert. Die Suppe zur Vorspeise war superlecker. Mein Stück Fleisch war suuuuper und das Dessert ein Traum. Schade, dass wir unseren ersten Abend in Newtonmore nicht auch schon hier verbracht haben….

We've been visiting Newtonmore for years and not noticed this little gem. We booked on the day of visiting but were clearly lucky as it was full when we arrived. The food and service were both fab, the specials board held some unique dishes and two of us had the starter of salmon and avodcado and cod and scallops for main which was beautifully cooked. We will definitely return.

Food was excellent. Feels a bit like dining at a neighbours’ house. Houselike in decor and small and intimate. Service was excellent and vibe was relaxed and friendly.

Great little restaurant in centre of Newtonmore, the food was great and excellent service and dog friendly which was great.

Attempted a “walk in” and refused table as they were fully booked. Only 1 table (2diners) was occupied, the other tables were empty. They have now lost approximately £200 in business.

Whether you’re staying local or simply passing by on the A9 - a 2 minute detour into Newtonmore will get you to this little gem of a place. We booked in advance for Sunday evening and was met with a warm welcome. We had a choice of seats and as we had our dog with us, we were seated in the front of the restaurant near the window. Perfect. The menu choices were plentiful and some very interesting and unique dishes. I went for the Mushroom, Stilton, Spinach, Apple and Walnut pie with vegetables. Followed by the profiteroles. Absolutely delicious ! Cooked to perfection. The service was excellent. The background music low and tasteful. What a lovely place to dine out. A credit to the owners and staff and a real bonus for the locals and passing tourists.

Was staying close-by and decided to try here one night, it's a small place so book in advance. The staff member who looked after us was really friendly and at no point did we feel rushed. The food was excellent, well worth the money and the portions are very generous. We would highly recommend having a meal here if you are in the area and would like something a little bit special!

Good service and excellent food, especially the vegan options for my other half (it’s pretty rare she has three courses, and that the portions are such a reasonable size!)

Staycating nearby and were looking for somewhere to eat whilst celebrating a birthday! Recommended and decided to try it out! Not disappointed and the food was excellent and the staff extremely knowledgeable and helpful!Food served was very fresh, sieved locally and very tasty! Would definitely visit again......

We enjoyed an excellent meal from locally sourced ingredients. Lovely restaurant in highland village with attentive staff and a good range of quality food and drinks. Freshly prepared and generous portions. A great change from the typical Scottish “pub” food. Will definitely return when next in the area.

Away for a few days and googled this restaurant so booked for tonight. Very impressed the food was very good and well presented. So many choices but the star of the evening was the Greek lamb shank it melted in your mouth. The avocado and prawn starter was also very refreshing. Hubby had mushroom soup which was delicious with sliced mushrooms in it and main course pheasant which was 2 breasts !!! Very clean and staff very nice. I can not comment on toilets as we never went

We chose to eat out at the Letterbox restaurant because it offered a more varied and creative menu to the standard hotel fare. The owner Douglas was very welcoming and clearly proud of his food. We had the racklette of pork to start with which came with homemade chutney with flavours of dates, cinnamon and ginger. I had a lamb shank cooked with muscavado sugar, cinnamon and ginger in the flavouring finishing off with a berry pavlova. The food was excellent and the ambience cosy. Would definitely recommend. A real Highland gem

We went to Letterbox having been unable to find any place to eat in Aviemore in August We felt very grateful as we had a delicious meal. The menu was varied and interesting and the service was excellent and so friendly. They had a great range of Cairngorm brewery beers as well!

Haggis filo with whisky gravy Venison haunch I love this restaurant Steak and salmon Good wine selection Service friendly helpful and attentive We went twice within a week and just as good the second time

Great menu selection -using fab Scottish produce , options on sea food , grouse , venison as well as vegan and veggie choices . Food was fab and service Excellent . Definitely worth a visit

Food was really tasty plenty choice. Haggis filo parcel was really tasty. Pate starter was delicious. Husband had pork which was lovely and the veg cooked perfect. Courgette carrot parsnip mangetout and broccoli. I had morrocan chicken which was delicious my only thing was the chicken wasn't cooked in the sauce but served with it. The only negative was only one waitress for 24 customers. The girl did really well but was obviously rushed

This place had a few quirks (ice in a pint of cider and a straw with a gin and tonic) but the food was excellent and the atmosphere was very cosy and warm.There are not many tables, although we felt they could have done with another member of staff serving.

We chose The Letterbix on the basis of their website sample menu, but in reality, the food did not live up to expectations.My salmon and mackerel starter tasted bland and was possibly not long removed from the fridge. A garnish of a few pieces of tomato, cucumber and salad leaves demonstrated a lack of imagination although the plate was rescued by the chutney which tasted home-made.Main courses were okay but lacked the finesse to warrant fine dining prices. As one reviewer previously mentioned the vegetables deserve more attention and flair (school dinners come to mind) and why do chefs always undercook broccoli?Not much to say about the desserts except the waitress mistakingly referred to the cream as 'clotted' when, in actual fact, it was more like Chantilly cream.The wine list was also underwhelming - at this type of restaurant you would expect a bottle of Australian chardonnay to be bottled at source - sadly, it wasn't.

Dined here in September - menu choice was excellent - quality and standard of presentation was exceptional - friendly service - recommended

We pre booked during this restriction season, were welcomed and seated, viewed the a la Carte menu and choose smoke salmon pate and prawn n avocado starters, both fresh, tasty and well presented. Scottish sirloin steak and rump both in peppercorn sauces so delicious. Complimented with wedges and fresh veg. Lemon cheesecake and profiteroles with chocolate sauce, divine, great hostess, very busy popular place to eat. Highly recommend

Went for an early dinner, had the lentil & vegetable soup to start and the venison haunch with roast potatoes and fresh steamed veggies. Absolutely perfectly cooked venison, potatoes like my Mum would roast them, wonderful homemade soup. And the chef accommodated me with gluten free bread to accompany the soup and gluten free gravy for my venison.Paid £31 all up including a glass of wine, and serving size I couldn’t finish. Well worth it.

2 hours for 2 courses is incredibly slow and the food itself was very average and overpriced. My partner requested no coriander in her meal and got so much I (as a lover of the stuff) thought too much. Edible though.Other tables had equally slow service, very little apology (if at all) from staff, others also seemed to have problems with orders as well - sad considering the supposedly positive reviews which lead to us booking.Eat out to help out or not, the meal was still overpriced and not up to scratch. Would have been £57.40 for 2 mains, 2 desserts and 2 soft drinks at full price - £42.40 with the discount. Meanwhile, we ate at The Glen Hotel the previous night and 2 courses, 1 dessert and 2 soft drinks was £15.50. Madness.Also, a mysterious £5 charge for "VAT" on our bill. Queried with waitress but got a ridiculous response about the restaurants VAT status. If you want to charge extra ontop of a bill, include this info on the menu! Not worth causing a fuss over, but its a matter of principle.

The food was good but not brilliant for the price. Skin on my duck was not crispy but sauce with chanterelle was very tasty. The bill was 25% higher than the total (and our numerical skills are very good) so was a bit of a shock.We did not question it but will not come back.

We orebooled.. Though arrived a little early. Met at entrance.. Seated and enjoyed excellent service compounded by excellent food.. Would strongly recommend

This joint wedding anniversary meal for my parents and us was amazing. A superb selection of homemade starters, mains and desserts. The crab was delicious, the venison melted and the pavlova was literally to die for. A gem in The Highlands and it’s at the bottom of our road.

Kleines aber feines Lokal am Ortseingang von Newtonmore. Kleine aber feine Auswahl an kreativen Speisevarianten (Fisch, Wild). Nebst Bier wird auch offener Wein zu den Speisen angeboten. Gute Empfehlung, falls Abwechslung zum schottischen Pub-Food gesucht wird.

This is rather mediocre food for premium prices. The chef does a reasonable steak, but vegetables are clearly no priority as I just got cooked carrot & broccoli. To me, just not good enough.

Treated to a delicious meal at this restaurant last night by my friends. Plenty choice of starters, mains and desserts. Everything was cooked to order. For starters we had the lightly battered mushrooms and the game terrine. The mains were the almond dusted haddock gougons and pork in a cider and grainy mustard and apple sauce. I was the only one to have a dessert which was the blueberry brûlée. Superb - what more can I say.

We go on holiday with my wife’s parents each year and for the first time in the three years of our week long holidays we returned to the same restaurant. The owner, Dougie, was on his own the first night and he worked front of house and the kitchen. Don’t know how he did it but he did it with a smile on his face and the food arrived quickly (well as quick as I would expect fresh food to arrive) and was cooked superbly. The sauces are the star of the show. Desserts excellent. On the second night, his front of house staff member was working and she was excellent too - very friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend Letterbox if you like fresh, home cooked food and are in the area. We will definitely return if we are back in Newtonmore.

When we decided to go to Newtonmore we booked this (Jan for Aug). We enjoyed the amazing food so much 5 years ago we had to go again. We were not disappointed!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here and would recommend it to all (except if you're a grump like those who've rated it terrible which I simply cannot understand!) Great, friendly service at a relaxed pace. Wonderful.

We went for dinner; a group of old friends from London, Devon, Somerset & Newtonmore. The food was excellent, well-presented and tasty. There was plenty of choice with a main menu, vegetarian menu and a really tempting specials board. We were all delighted with our food - quite a bit of tasting each other’s - and our visitors were impressed. A smiley waitress and a chat with chef at the end helped to make it a memorable evening. So lucky to have this gem of a restaurant in Newtonmore.

This is a really excellent restaurant on the main street in Newtonmore in the Cairngorms. Dougie is a brilliant chef, and we had a delicious last evening in the Highlands. The food was perfectly presented and cooked, with a decent wine list and friendly service. Good value for the quality, but watch out that they only take cash. There is an ATM directly opposite, but be warned. Dougie explained the reasons for this, which are sensible, but be aware nonetheless.

Nous avons très bien mangé dans ce restaurant ; en revanche, nous étions installés dans le passage entre la première et la deuxième salle, et c'est la première fois, alors qu'on n'était pourtant pas pressé du tout, que la lenteur du service nous gêne. On a bien dû passer 3h dans le restaurant pour un simple entrée-plat-café, et la serveuse faisait son maximum mais était à la limite du burn out.

I am here on business and have eaten here several times. The food is the best in the village/town. Prices are a on the high side for the area, (£20) for main course , but it’s worth paying when you consider what is available at other places. I would advise that you book in advance and be aware that it can be a bit slow for food sometimes due to it being a very small restaurant.

The food was very good for a reasonable price. The staff was nice. Some patience is needed if the restaurant is full, but we had an enjoyable stay.

I can’t review based on eating here. We didn’t get to eat here even after driving 2 hours to get here based on their website that says that they close at 10:30 pm. What they don’t say is that they quit serving at 8:30 pm! We got there at 8:45 and couldn’t get served. Please put an accurate representation of your REAL hours on your website.

Wir haben zweimal abends dort gegessen und waren beide Male sehr zufrieden. Innovative Menükarte und kreative Tageskarte (wird auf einer Schiefertafel angeschrieben).

Nous nous sommes régalés adultes et enfants. Des menus enfants au choix qui changent de l'éternel steak frites. Accueil sympathique.

Cosy little restaurant with a great menu, including a good vegan choice. Food was beautifully cooked and presented. Service was great and the waitress was very friendly. We thought the food was good value, and thoroughly enjoyed our night.

I have just been hung up on after trying to book a table for myself and my partner, we both have allergies and I had asked about what deserts could be provided. I was told it wouldn't be impressive so I had politely suggested I could send a recipe in advance to them so something was available for us. The gentleman I spoke to got very defensive and told me I was being cheeky and had rattled him and he couldn't be doing with that. Its always nice to know your local restaurants are willing to cater for your needs. What a joke if you have food allergies and want a desert don't bother going here I've never been spoken to with such a rude and unprofessional tone.

We arrived early and were pleasantly surprised with the quick service and excellent food for the starters and mains. Unfortunately the restaurant was very crowded by now and service had degenerated so we missed our dessert.

Had the lamb and seafood dish! Couldn't have asked for anything better! Very personable staff and great service.

My husband and I had a meal here last saturday and chose the restaurant based in a ‘sample menu’ in the B and B where we were staying. We were greeted by a delightful young lady who

Having just arrived in Newtonmore we needed to find a place for an evening meal. The place we usually go to was full so we walked in off the street to a smiling welcome from a lovely lady. We had to wait for a table so had a drink while waiting and it was worth the wait. The food was cooked to perfection and mine was gluten free. Lovely place, we sat in the front of the restaurant where we could look out of the window. The atmosphere was good. We had the duck with dates and accompaniments. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this restaurant and the welcome we got was super.

6 people all had brilliant meals, no complaints with anything Service was good and the restaurant was really nice

Excellent food and well presented. One member of staff covered whole restaurant but no waiting and still very attentive. We enjoyed it so much we booked for a second time, very rare for us. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We were absolutely delighted to find The Letterbox. Food was great - lamb rump, seabass, rich brisket of beef and pork loin as main courses and delightful starters and deserts - all freshly made by the owner/chef (David?) and served by the charming and helpful Carrie. An unassuming shop front leading to an intimate restaurant made a wonderful evening with very drinkable house wine at under £15. Cost per head including wine was around £35. Bargain!

A little aprehensive after seeing some poor reviews but our hosts had been before and it turned out to be a good recommendation; our experience was very good. They were short of staff but put in extra management effort to ensure our evening went smoothly. There are some very good places in the area doing good bar food but this is the place to head if you are looking for a 'proper' quiet resaurant evening. Good menu choice, well prepared and presented and good value for money. Be aware that the place is not large and Newtonmore gets a great many visitors, so I would recommend booking in advance. One of our party needed gluten free options and that was no problem.

Meal was poor and small. Serice was aweful and we had salmon that was off.. Would not go back. ROTTEN SALMON.

So pleased to find this place at the end of our weeks holiday in the area.

The food was very good, we enjoyed it very much and it arrived quickly. The downside it the service. When we asked for one more plate the waiter yelled to the kitchen “they want another plate” which I felt was rude. The waitress wasn’t very nice in general, didn’t smile and gave us the feeling she was doing us a favor by answering our questions and following our requests. It could be worse but that made our experience not as good as could be.

We went three times and The Letterbox Restaurant was a model of consistency. Clean, warm and comfortable with a good welcome and very sound food.

We visited The Letterbox on the evening of Mother’s Day. What a fantastic meal. To start my husband chose smoked chicken with apple and bacon salad and said it tasted very fresh. I had the crab and salmon en cocotte and it was yummy.

Warm and cosy, friendly atmosphere.....good choice local food. ....Would definitely return Thanks for a nice evening

My fiance and I were spending a night in Newtonmore last night

Service was brilliant from Kara, she was attentive and very efficient. We had 3 courses; all of which were very well presented. The produce used was excellent and cooked to perfection.

De passage près de Laggan, je m'arrête au Lettrebox pour dîner.

Am Nachmittag zufällig den Besitzer getroffen und nach einem Platz am Abend gefragt.

Siamo stati a cena in quattro. Ottima carne di cervo, haggins rivisitato, ottimo pesce. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è ottimo. Bello anche l impiattamento. Personale gentile. Assolutamente da provare.. Tra i migliori ristoranti dove ho mangiato in Scozia. Complimenti allo chef.

I must said I was really impress with the great quality of food, great variety of dishes and amazing flavours. The service was also really good, considering there was only one person serving tables but he was always great. The food was just really tasty, I absolutely loved it and highly recommend

Lovely wee restaurant where we had beautifully cooked and presented food. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. Big deep bowl of Broccoli and apple soup was delicious with homemade bread at £4.50 was a bargain buy. Crab and avocado salad was very fresh and tasty, husband had cod which was inches thick and beautifully cooked. Topping the meals off with an outstanding blackberry brulee and then a latte for me and a couple of malt whiskies for husband while the hardworking staff found time to chat. Good value for quality ingredients made into a great selection of starters, mains and desserts. Newtonmore residents have a wee gem on their doorstep.

Great little restaurant for dinner out. Would recommended the fish and chips plus the crumble. Friendly staff.

This family run restaurant has an amazing selection on the menu and the food was beautifully cooked.

Remember: this is Newtonmore, just off the A9 in the Highlands of Scotland, not the Latin Quarter of Paris. However, twenty-two quid is twenty-two quid.

We had read the reviews and knew it was well regarded. We were not disappointed and the food was really good. The service was homely and friendly.

Had a short trip stopping in Newtonmore and we were told about this restaurant by the Hotelier where we were staying, great recommendation, food was 10/10, service was excellent, a new lady had only just started that evening so well done to her, prices were very good.

Ein kleines Restaurant mit einer Bar vorne. Hinten ein kleiner Speiseraum mit weniger als 12 Tischen. Schön gedeckt. Geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Sehr guter Service. Vorzügliche Küche eines einheimischen Kochs mit Fantasie, der unkonventionell kombiniert und den Gaumen reizt. Seit langem nicht mehr so fein gegessen.

Excellent restaurant in this lovely little village. In the land of chippies, chinese takeaways etc, its great to have a refreshing change, this is one of the places that you can go to, knowing you wont be served chippie chips or rice in takeaway tubs, devoured with the help of plastic forks, not that this is a problem, you just may want a change for the better!

Visited here with my mum for an evening meal. Beautiful food and worth the price. Service was good and staff was very welcoming.

Enjoyed an early Sunday evening meal with our family. Good choice of locally sourced food and cooked really well. We would not hesitate to go back here as front of house and chef ( both the same ) couldn’t have done any better even though doing everything on his own along with his son. Genuinely good.

Came here with a group of friends at the end of our walking holiday. For a small place it has a very extensive menu and we all really enjoyed our meals. My crab salad starter was particularly good, and the pavlova I had for dessert was excellent. There was one young chap acting as waiter and barman. He was very friendly and helpful and gave us some great recommendations - but he was clearly rushed off his feet and a second member of staff would have made our experience in the restaurant much smoother. To sum up - excellent food, but needs a second member of staff.

The quality of the food was excellent. I started with fresh crab and avocado, followed by pheasant. They appear to specialise in local seasonal products and that showed in the flavoursome dishes served. Only slight downside was the slowness of service, the waiter was extremely friendly but appeared to be run off his feet, which meant my friends had to enjoy their mains with empty glasses as it took so long for the ordered wine to come. However would definitely return, maybe just order drinks in good time and expect a leisurely pace of meal!

Checked Trip Advisor to find a nice restaurant on the A9 near Aviemore and found the reviews interesting. I rang at 8:20pm to book a table for that evening, I was not put off by the response of 'we are about to shut, pop in and see what the bar man says". As I had read the reviews, I was not surprised by the somewhat noncommittal response and we went along. The young bar man, who covered all front of house jobs was a pleasure. The whole menu was descriptive, interesting and extensive (can be viewed online). The quality of the food was exceptional, portions generous and service personal. This extended to the detail and interaction with our 12 year old and his meal. The prices were in line with the quality and detail put into the meals. I would highly recommend this restaurant and wished it was local to me.

Ordered avocado and wild mushroom in filo pastry which for £17 , thought it would be something different. Mushrooms were chewy and avocado was just a whole one plocked in the pastry. No herbs or flavourings to speak of. Overpriced for what it was. Waitress was friendly if a bit too chatty.

Love this place. All 4 of us cleared our plates. Fantastic variety and made to perfection. If you are looking for delicious food with a twist you won’t be disappointed. We will be back.

My visit didn’t start well with a 20 minute wait to get a menu but after that things got a lot better. Clearly a family place we were served by a friendly young lad and then brought out a number of very strong dishes. Good value although not cheap, was a good choice to go to.

We went here tonight for an early dinner with the family. The food was really lovely and fresh and you could tell that a lot of thought had gone into it. They weren’t your bog standard average dishes. The owner came to greet us ( he was also the chef). He was very friendly, as was Jessica, the waitress and front of house. It was her first day and she did a fantastic job. We definitely come back next time we are in the area. Thank you.

We liked this place so much that we ate there two nights in a row! The haggis was really good, and so was the lamb shank. For a small town like Newtonmore this was a real culinary find!

We heard of this restaurant by recommendation, decided to try it and we were not disappointed.

Еда выше всяких похвал, изыскано.

Ate here on a monday night, it was a large party but there were only two other tables with couples on, the chef here is very good, 12 meals brought out at the same time all cooked to perfection, no mean feet. It has a varied menu with a wide choice of vegetarian options, all food is freshly prepared so expect to wait, and there is only one chef... our only problem with the evening was the surreal waitress, changing drinks we had ordered as she thought we would like something else, saying there was no port when there was a bottle in clear sight, having to ask several times for our drinks as she was more interested in talking constantly about anything, you just wanted to say “can we just have our drinks”, very faulty towers, when ordering she asks how you like the meat cooked then pipes in but the chef decides anyway! Having said that my steak was perfect. All in all this place is a gem they just need to look at the front of house as we would of had more wine etc if it hadnt taken so long and constant prompts, and the innane chatter from the waitress was annoying to the point of laughing as you couldnt believe she was rambling again...very fawlty towers

Easy walking distance from hotel, the food was superb. The menu was imaginative and we had a superb meal. Would recommend to anyone.

We visited this restaurant on Saturday 22nd July 2018. I have no idea what the name of the waitress was, she didn’t have a badge with that on it but she was excellent, bubbly, knowledgable and very helpful. The food was very good and obviously individually prepared so the chef was pretty good too!!!

While staying nearby we dined at this wonderful little restaurant in Newtonmore. We didn’t have a reservation and it was close to closing, but we were warmly welcomed. My husband tried the haggis which he enjoyed immensely and I had the calamari. Won’t disappoint!

We stumbled across this wonderful place at the end of a long day of hiking. So glad we did. The menu was superb..plenty of veggie/vegan choice too. Nothing was too much trouble for Keiron,the owner and chef. The food itself was beautifully cooked. All fresh and , having chatted with Keiron, locally sourced. Do yourself a favour and support an independent, family run business at the same time. Brilliant grub. (The pic is of my starter, squid with spiced melon. It was gorgeous!).

The grilled salmon and the pheasant were amazing! It’s a lovely little town to visit as well. Highly recommend.

We visited a number of years ago but this meal was much more to our taste and delicious. Maybe made better choices? We chose from the specials on the blackboard. Both loved the salad type starter. The pork steak with stilton we both loved as it was so tasty. I feasted on a blueberry brulee to finish. A nice house red was enjoyed with our meal. The vivacious young lady who served us was a delight and great fun. Will return for sure

Wir waren aufgrund der gefundenen Empfehlungen dort, alles traf zu. Freundliche Bedienung, sehr leckeres und frisch zubereitetes Essen. Ist was zum genießen, gehobene Preisklasse..

We took a detour from the A9 and found this courtesy of Trip Advisor. The food was delicious, the atmosphere pleasant and the service friendly and courteous.

Wir hatten online per Email einen Tisch reserviert und auch schnell eine Antwort erhalten. Gut, muss nicht umbedingt. Das Restaurant war nicht so voll, was daran liegen kann, dass es etwas weiter in Richtung Ortsausgang liegt. Die Karte ist sehr vielfältig und hat auch Hirsch und Lamm auf der Karte. Preislich schon etwas gehobener. Die Portionen waren aber auch sehr reichlich, so dass es sich etwas relativiert. Auf jeden Fall sehr lecker und empfehlenswert. :-)

Called in on recommendation enroute south on A9. Absolutely superb eatery .. great value and menu..personable service...a destination in itself.

This was a fabulous restaurant in every respect. It is physically appealing with a warm, welcoming ambience. The waitress on duty was knowledgeable, efficient and good humoured not to mention energetic. As a party with some rather unusual dietary needs (extremely low carb) the chef tweaked dishes to suit us and mixed and matched whatever we requested in order for us to get a suitable meal. The food itself was all freshly made and used high quality ingredients. We would go out of our way on future trips to the area just to dine here again. Probably advisable to book during busy periods as they were certainly busy the night we dined and had to turn customers away. Thanks to the staff there for a lovely night out. :)

Echt heerlijk gegeten, kinderen van 11 en 9 hadden van het gewone menu gegeten en borden waren schoon op. Was echt geweldig, ook de eigenaar is super begaan en gezellig. Volgende keer Schotland gaan we hier zeker weer speciaal langs.

We picked this restaurant because of the reviews on Trip Advisor, and we were not disappointed. The range and quality of food on offer was glorious, the meals were beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. We were looked after very well by our busy, competent and welcoming host and the whole evening was a delight. We will come back.

We visited newtonmore as a group of 14 people so when we thought we'd go for a meal out we didn't expect to find anywhere to take us, but when I called the gentleman was more than happy to fit us all in at half 8, right on the cusp of last orders and was very understanding when we didn't make it until quarter to. The starter I had of almond crusted goats cheese with caramelized onions was literally the tastiest thing I think I have ever eaten. Moreover they only had two staff, the owner and a new lad yet the service was excellent throughout. The mains were also delicious all round and my salmon was so fresh and perfectly cooked you could really tell that care had gone into it. Everyone else had a great meal too, the only downside was we were too full for dessert which also looked amazing! The business owner was a really lovely guy, answering all of our tricky tourist questions about the local area, even when we were being a bit boring. It wasn't even expensive either so I would 100% recommend to anyone staying in Newtonmore or surrounding.

The Letterbox restaurant in Newtonmore provides honest decent cooking at very reasonable prices - a definite step up from 'pub grub' while not claiming to be haute cuisine. Open only for dinner in the evenings, we found the menu choice to be excellent, food very good and service friendly, professional and efficient.
