Visited this restaurant for dinner with friends one Saturday in October. Liked it a lot. Food was excellent, the venison dish I chose as my main, is the best venison dish I’ve ever had. It’s not cheap but I thought the food, service and experience was excellent. Would recommend it.

Fantastic lunch experience. All excellent from the friendly, attentive and knowledgeable staff. The food was amazing and enhanced by the paired wines chosen by Jacob. If you have the chance to have the taster menu please don’t miss the opportunity, you won’t regret it. Fine dining at its best. Shaun and Pat. We will certainly be back!

Elgin is a place we just normally drive through to get from A to B, but this time we decided to take some time to explore it a bit. Elgin is a lovely place to visit and I would highly recommend eating at Orrin - what a brilliant find. The food was simply to die for and I have to say it's the best piece of cod I've ever tasted - extremely fresh and cooked to perfection. I have a very restricted diet due to intolerances and I contacted Orrin ahead of my visit to find out if they could accommodate me. The team were so helpful in providing something that would work and I was made feel that anything was possible and nothing was a hassle. The combination of such a brilliant team and fabulous food made it a great experience - thank you.

We always have a fantastic experience at Orrin. I suffer from a food allergy and the level of care taken by staff puts me at complete ease that I’m safe in their hands. They’re also able to advise on what parts of a dish will involve my uncommon allergen and it really shows the care and dedication taken with the food they make - and the knowledge of their produce. I don’t feel the same level of reassurance elsewhere, regardless of price point. We’ve paid more locally when dining out and Orrin blows them out the water. The food is always outstanding, and even my fussy 12 year old says the food is ‘amazing’. For those 18 and up, the cocktails are also delicious. We joke in our house that our tummies are sad after leaving. We look forward to cheering our stomachs up again soon!

We were in Elgin for a couple days from Aberdeen, My husband and I had seen this restaurant online and booked here on 23rd August. Our server ( forgot to ask his name) was nothing but attentive and very informative when asked about recommendation of the dishes , my husband wanted to try the sweetbread and our server gave a very honest option how they tasted , hubby did order and loved them , all the dishes we had were excellent as was the service , the atmosphere of the place was lovely , nice decor , music in the background not to loud , I honestly cant rate this restaurant highly enough , and we most definitely will be back , and highly recommend you to try for yourself. Well done to all the staff at Orrin for a truely wonderful experience and see you again soon.

We had the pleasure to dine at Orrin today and it was absolutely amazing! The food, the service and the eye for dietary wishes was great. The recommended wines (one white and one red) worked very well with the langoustine and the duck. The desert was delicious. We can fully recommend to visit this restaurant if you are in the neighborhood!

Not sure whether to be subtly satisfied or disappointed with the experience at this high end restaurant. It was a tale of two halves. We have wanted to try out this restaurant for a while as something different in Elgin however, when we booked we were not told that it was the Tapas night and there was no option to have the A la carte menu. Additionally, despite communicating a gluten intolerance there was no gluten free bread ‘as the delivery was not due until the next day’. The service was lack luster in the form of inexperience in terms of food items being spilled and having to ask for the mess to be cleaned on more than one occasion. The quality of the food was adequate at best; not living up to the fine dining that Orrin so famously offers. Perhaps this was just a blip and an off night but this is the honest opinion of some very highly anticipated customers. On a positive note the drinks were on par for expectations.

We found Orrin while wandering around Elgin during a three-day trip to the town and decided to book a table for the following evening. It is a gem of a restaurant and the quality of food and ambience did not disappoint. Our choice of starters from the fixed price menu were ham hock terrine and smoked mackerel pate. Both mains were the braised venison. And for dessert, we chose white chocolate and lemon blonde, and chilli marshmallow. All dishes were delicious and the presentation excellent. Staff were very friendly and attentive throughout the evening. We would highly recommend a visit.

Looking for somewhere a little bit special, we found the perfect place in Orrin, yet quite inexpensive for the quality of food, service and ambiance. If it were local to us we’d be regulars. The food was delicious, the staff very friendly and helpful with my gluten intolerance, and the mellow tones of the singer a perfect background to the evening.

The food was very good but the overall experience rated only average. When I got home I realised I had been overcharged and immediately phoned the restaurant to explain the position and asked them to refund the excess to my card. They said they were unable to do that but if I came back in they would give me cash or credit my card. And so I returned and kept waiting whilst they wrestled with their internal accounting on the computer rather than dealing with me quickly.

Orrin is a really great place to eat with friendly helpful staff and a good atmosphere. The restaurant is on ground floor with a few steps to the toilets. The only negatives I have is the food on the last two occasions has been just warm and I feel slightly over priced. I say over priced because things like the veg and mash potatoes are average at best but I can see the vision they have and I think if they can take the presentation and delivery of their food up a level it would warrant the price. On saying that the Orrin is (IMHO) the best place to eat in Elgin

Orrin Restaurant is, in a word, PERFECTION! And somehow, that word falls short to describe the true excellence of Orrin. My husband and I held our wedding reception at Orrin in May of this year, and the experience could not have been better: the food was excellent, the staff were incredible, and the atmosphere was heavenly. The lovely and ever-patient Jacob worked closely with us up to a year prior to our wedding, helping us to organize all of the details, menu options, table decor and flowers, and even helped to arrange whiskey favors for our guests from the amazing Glen Moray distillery. Jacob kindly offered so many incredible suggestions as we worked our way through the overwhelm of the planning process with calm and grace, and we were extremely grateful for him. We were lucky enough to experience the exquisite cuisine of Chef Elliot, a master of his craft, who prepared the best three course meal we have probably ever eaten in our lives, and that is no exaggeration. Aberdeenshire beef cooked and seasoned to perfection, vegetables prepared to rival Eden, and a dessert course that left everyone wanting more. Not only did the planned meal and decor come together beautifully with the help of Orrin's expert staff, but the restaurant itself is absolutely stunning - embellished with botanical and contemporary colors and accouterment, it fit perfectly with the vibe of our wedding. During our event, Orrin was so on top of everything that the stress of the day fell completely away - they were kind and accommodating, helpful and the excellent customer service was almost beyond belief. Orrin even surprised us with an exceptionally talented bagpiper to "pipe" us in as we arrived. Our experience at Orrin couldn't have been matched, it is a very special place and will hold our hearts for years to come. We would like to express our gratitude to the wonderful staff at Orrin for hosting us and taking care of us on the happiest day of our lives. A special thank you to Jacob for making it so incredibly memorable. We cannot wait to come back! - Shaun & Zach

We had not visited for a while, but we were delighted by the food and wine we enjoyed. The lunch menu offered a wide choice and everything was enjoyed by our group. The wine picks, and the recommendations of our waiter, went down very well, and a tasting of the Greek white was a revelation, and would encourage us to order this next time around. The service was efficient, friendly and unhurried, (although the booking form does point out that at busy times they might need to fit in another sitting.) In the event, this was not an issue. Orrin is definitely worth a detour if you are in the area, and we are fortunate to have it on our doorstep.

We were in Elgin for a long weekend and had dinner here two nights in a row. The food was excellent and the staff was very attentive. I eat gluten free and clean and have a few other food intolerances. The kitchen were able to adapt almost all the courses on the meny to my dietary requirement. The restaurant sources their ingredients locally and focus on quality. Also, the meny changes with the seasons so I am excited to go back next time I am in the area.

My husband and I went to Orrin for our 6 year wedding anniversary. I knew it would be upscale but wow. Not only was it pretty inside but the staff were very attentive. The food was absolutely incredible. I got the gnocchi which was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and soft inside. Paired with the most amazing sauce. He got the sirloin steak and said it was the best steak of his life. For dessert I got the brownie which was so decadent. He got the white chocolate cheesecake and from his face you could tell he was in heaven 😂 we both talked about the meal the whole way home and hours later. Perfect way to celebrate.

Stunningly good. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner for four and were blown away by the quality of the food, drink and service. We started with some cocktails, all of which were delicious and beautifully presented. For starters two of us had scallops which were perfectly cooked, one had the confit duck leg which was to die for, and I had the pork belly which was everything that you want pork belly to be; soft and mouthwatering, with just enough crunch on the top. For mains most of us had the venison with celeriac dauphinois. It was gorgeous and rich. We also enjoyed a very good value bottle of wine which was recommended to us by our brilliant server who looked after us and the different dietary needs of the group with great ease. For dessert some of the group had cheese, some sorbet, and I had the berry mouse. Everyone was delighted. Couldn’t recommend this more. Considering we went all out on the food and drink, and considering how good it was, I feel that the meal was excellent value.

My fiancée and I went to Orrin for lunch a wee while ago. I wasn't meant to leave a review but we ended up in Wetherspoonin Elgin last night and it reminded me of our visit and interesting little contrast between two places. So fine dining Orrin did not have alternative to cow milk, preventing my fiancée from having a cup of tea at the end of the meal and at Wetherspoon they were happy to provide you with oat milk as much as you wanted. I founded it rather amusing. Food wise Orrin was awesome, service was questionable. One server was simply rude, the rest of the staff were great. When you go for a birthday meal to a place that claims to be fine dining it all adds up. Will give it another chance and see what happens, but Sundancer is still our favourite local.

A disappointing evening indeed. The salmon ravioli lacked any discernible salmon taste, and the thick dough left much to be desired. The pasta-making skills need improvement. The Venison Wellington was overcooked. The sirloin beef was tasty but presented unimpressively—two large spoonfuls of mash with meat on top, falling short for a £40 dish. Despite the pleasant dessert and adequate service, the overall experience was disappointing, especially considering the £160 price tag. There is room for improvement, Chef.

On 11th November, 2023, we celebrated our wedding at Orrin Restaurant, Elgin. We had use of the Private Dining room, which was set to perfection, incorporating personal details and thoughtful touches. This venue is PERFECT for a small, intimate gathering (we were a small group, of 13). From the start of planning, Ellis and Andy (owners/chef), made the process a breeze. Their communication, attention to detail and adaptability was second to none! They really went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went without a hitch - a truly personalised experience (they catered with ease for one vegetarian member of the group, and were willing to ensure any/all dietary requirements were catered for). We were waited on by Jacob, and the other lovely team members at Orin Restaurant, throughout the afternoon/evening. Jacob, thank you for being such a significant part of our day - thanks to you, and the team, we wanted for nothing! Your professionalism and kindness were so appreciated. The food was... simply outstanding... the cocktails were also delicious! We cannot recommend highly enough. If you're looking to host a wedding meal, or another personalised event, look no further. You will be delighted that you chose Orrin Restaurant -we certainly are! With sincere gratitude, Robbie and Fiona Halsted

This restaurant was recommended to us and we managed to get a last minute booking. Staff were pleasant and helpful and food was fantastic. They serve local produce and my husband had scallops followed by venison wellington which was a treat to eat, I had the sirloin which again was great. We never have a desert but were tempted by the bramble and toffee tart with raspberry sorbet, this again was amazing. They also make a great cocktail. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you are staying in Elgin.

I don’t often write reviews but we had such a fantastic meal it is worthy of praise. We visited Orrin with our small children (4 and 7) and although it’s not a restaurant designed with a family focus we were made to feel so welcome. Our waitress, Emily, was absolutely outstanding and looked after us effortlessly. Most importantly the food was delicious and of a standard rarely seen in Scotland. Photos of the cauliflower veloute, beef shin wellington and pina colada baked Alaska don’t do them justice! We attended an early sitting so the value was very good. The decor and ambience are spot on. Thoroughly recommend.

We could not have chosen better! The ambience is warm and welcoming and calm, nothing was too much trouble and the service we received was outstanding, pleasent and friendly without being obtrusive. The young lady who served us for the evening was highly knowledgeable on all aspects and a total asset to the restaurant. The food was totally exquisite and to be honest blew me away! It's on a different level with tastes lingering long after, buttery overtones to the pork belly which melted to the pure richness of the beef cheek Wellington and so much more I could add....but find out for yourselves, this place is not too be missed. The chefs deserve a Michelin star or two.... Enjoy your meal.

Four of us went in for lunch. The service was very attentive and the food was very good. The price was pretty reasonable for the quality of food on offer and we all enjoyed our choices. My only niggles were that the music was a bit too loud and a bit incongruous (dance music). Also, while the food is excellent I wouldn’t describe the lunch menu as ‘fine dining’, it was a bit too rustic for that (e.g. the large serving of fish and chips).

The food is amazing, but the service is so bad it is so frustrating, its just not worth going to Orrin. Especially for the price you are paying. We had reservations and arrived on a Friday night. The restaurant was about 75% full. There were 4 people in my party, and one of my guests had a milestone birthday. They asked for details via email in advance, yet nothing was done at all for the birthday celebrations, even though they were reminded multiple times, and they specifically asked in advance. When we arrived, they told us they accidentally gave our table away, and seated us at another table (this was an unneccesary addition). It took them 10 minutes to get us a menu and we had to ask. We were served bread before we had a menu. It took 35 minutes to take our drink order and 45 to take our meal order. The Bartender actually acted like it was a surprise we wanted a drink. He was cordial, but not friendly. We didn't get our food until we had been seated for an hour and 20 minutes. We had to ask repeatedly if we wanted anything and were treated like a nuisance when we did. We ordered a bottle of wine and the bartender opened it like he had never opened a bottle of wine before. We actually had to go up to the bar and get our own water more than once. 3 of the wait staff and the bartender had a lively conversation behind the bar while cleaning glasses in front of everyone (the bar is in the centre of the restaurant). They seemed to be having a great time just chatting. There was a large party who had to go up to the bar TWICE to order drinks and bottles of wine from their room in the back, and they were treated like they were interupting their conversation. We honestly didn't even know what to say, the service was so brutal. I've never seen anything like it. I feel terrible for the Chef because the food was really incredible. Despite our plates being burning hot like they had been under heat lamps for a long time, all of our meals were amazing. Each of us was very happy with our order and our meal. Sadly, despite the food, I would never recommend this place to anyone. The service was probably the worst I have ever experienced, and defintely not on trend with the other incredible restaurants in Scotland. Not worth the price or the frustrating experience.

Dined here previously & food & service have always been great, but think we must have visited on a bad day!! 2 hours into our booking & we had only eaten one course which for the price of £40 per head was slightly underwhelming in both quality & quantity.

Had lunch at orrin 1 july and was very disappointed with the whole experience. Ordered cocktails while sitting at window tables, when they came we were shown to our table where we ordered our mains-they came -very small portions one had beef shin and couldn't see hash brown hidden under carrots-very small! A friend had same main last week and hash brown was larger then. We weren't asked if we wanted wine list, out cocktails were finished and again weren't asked about more drinks until we were nearly finished out sweet. Poor service and staff are losing business money.will not be back for a while

Have been here a couple of times previously & service & food have been excellent. Very disappointed on this visit. We sat with a menu for 25 minutes before anyone came to take our order. The starter I chose was not available & I was told they had "run out". So we decided to go straight to the main course. Another 45 minute wait before this was then served to our table. Our table was booked for 8pm & by 10pm we had only eaten one course. It transpired that there was a private function for 12 people being held. This had started before we arrived but clearly they were given priority for the entire evening to the detriment of the other tables in the restaurant. This is supposed to be a premium dining experience but sadly the service was poor and even the food wasn't up to par at £40 for a main course. We are really not sure that we want to return here. It was our wedding anniversary and sadly put a bit of a damper on the day for us.

The two servers who took care of us were polite, attentive, and friendly! Always a pleasant experience. Look forward to visiting again soon

Great ‘new’ restaurant in Elgin. Amazing taster dinner menu - food and wine. Flexible to our request to change main course option. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The place to go to treat yourself.

Had the most amazing meal at Orrin tonight, the food and the service couldn't be faulted. Big shout out to Chef Andy who was wonderful and Ben who was so cheerful and attentive! We will definitely be back and recommending to everyone!

10 of us attend Orrin for a friends birthday Brunch, which was a set menu. I was disappointed that due to not drinking (driving), not a local, the cocktails included on the set menu could not be deducted from the bill. Another 2 friends were not drinking. The option was to order Mocktails, not something I would order. Unfortunately, due to this, I felt discriminated against. The staff were pleasant although the service was slow. I know I won't return. Our bill in total was £399.

Visited with my wife for lunch and loved it. The staff were friendly and professional, the atmosphere and surroundings were great and the food ( the important part ) was faultless. For the quality of food on offer the prices are more than reasonable. Really...

Tiny but quirky. Lovely staff and very friendly, with food being rather good. Gourmet as it is, doesn't come cheap but its worth it.

Fabulous meal to celebrate 54 years of marriage. Salmon Tien with avocado puree. Delicious flavours and lovely on the palate. Lamb noisettes that melted in the mouth and pulled lamb leg with rich flavour complemented by goats cheese bonbon. My wife had sea trout dish packed full of Mediterranean flavours. And a fine wine selection that was excellent too. A repast to remember!

Excellent night out with a group of friends and family. Quality food, wine, cocktails, and service. The meal was not without a very slight mishap but the staff could not have been more accommodating and apologetic in resolving. The kind of service we sadly don't...

My first visit to Orrin; the welcome was warm and friendly as was the service throughout. Our table was quite near the musician and as the music was very loud, we asked for the volume to be turned down a little. On ordering food, even...

Food beautifully presented and delicious. Staff were attentive. Went for set menu on Wednesday evening which we thought was a fair price for quality food. Only one negative comment was that the live music was too loud and normal conversation was difficult. However, the actual...

Very overpriced and the staff genuinely felt as if they all had their first day that one night. Was very disappointed by the food the staff and the price. Just a waste of time and money!

The food here is amazing and well worth it. The service is quite attentive and friendly. Enjoyed the live music! The only criticism I have is that it is very limited with choice on dessert for dairy free like sorbet. Husband enjoyed the cheeseboard and seafood.

Managed to rebook an earlier cancelled booking for my wife's birthday. It was such a lovely thought to have a birthday greeting at the table on our arrival. The service was excellent and welcoming. The food was utterly exceptional, gorgonzola starter, salmon tartare starter, Roe Deer mains, and heavenly desserts. Thank you, Orrin, for making such an effort.

We ate here by chance on our way to Sandend to walk our dogs. It is definitely a hidden gem and well worth a visit. The dogs were welcome too and were given treats which they loved. We had the Cullen skink and bacon , Brie and cranberry brown bread sandwiches. The bread was so fresh and delicious , bacon freshly cooked and lots of creamy Brie. The Cullen skink was tasty too Thank you for a delicious late lunch

Was here in summer, just for lunch with a friend. I got some Cullen Skink and it was delicious, really enjoyed it. The seating area is quite small and I felt claustrophobic being inside so sat outside as it was a bonnie day anyway. Staff were nice and friendly. Just the layout and how cramped it all feels kinda let's it down. I think 3 stars 🌟 is fair here

Nice quiet place for a pint. The fire was lit which added to the atmosphere. Music was always on (no juke box, just music piped through by the bar staff). Good pool table too.

Stopped in past for a quick coffee and cakes. Was pleasantly impressed with the service, nice coffee and scones. Toilets were lovely, clean and fresh smelling too!

Gréât place to stop for proper coffee (the best in Speyside), snacks, and it’s right next to parking and a secure playground for the kids.
