Pizzeria Planta in Moray

Food was delicious, Michelle is chef is amazing at her job

Food was extremely overpriced and freezing cold. They charge £18 for a smoked salmon quesadilla that only has 2 small pieces of salmon in it. They got a delivery so just left the front door wide open (even after I got up and shut it) for about 20mins before moving the delivery inside. It was freezing cold outside and we had a baby with us. Then we were just sat at the table waiting for the bill because apparently all staff members needed to carry in the delivery. So strange - there was 1 other table of people in the restaurant, service and food should’ve been miles better.

If you are looking for a pizzeria in Scotland you will find it here and the pizza is almost as good as the Italian one. Wood-fired oven.

Not a good experience, especially due to the frenzy of two staff members! Two of the four main courses were different than ordered and were also missing tomatoes, mushrooms and Parmesan cheese as ingredients. Unfortunately, two members of staff felt it necessary to tell a strange story (separately) to cover it up. Then just say that something went wrong when it is so obvious, but don't lie around it.

Wow we we were craving Italian and we were so pleasantly surprised. Outstanding pasta dishes and the service was exceptional. Thank you we will be back for sure.

Fantastic food and drink. The staff were excellent. We took our dog as we were on holiday with the dog. When I asked the waitress if there was a section, we could have our dog, she said. "The dog can be anywhere in the restaurant. We welcome dogs." The staff were so lovely and bought our wee pup water. The food was excellent and the coffee was the best I've had in Scotland for a long time! Congratulations guys, keep up the great work.

Staff was super friendly and welcoming! Atmosphere was cute, clean and the food was absolutely delicious !!! Didn’t take photos because everything disappeared quickly. Would absolutely recommend!! Also Dog friendly ❤️

The starter surprised us by its size and was very, very tasty. My pepperoni pizza was excellent. My wife's food was also very, very good.

Great team and amazingly light pizze!

Nice food, small restaurant but very noisy.

Tasty enough pizza's but its not the greatest Neapolitan pizza, very very soggy and you actually cant even pick up a slice you have to eat it with knife and fork. With a Neapolitan you should be able to use your hands and eat a slice.

Pizzeria Planta is an inviting restaurant from the outside and is very well laid out inside. The internal decor is nice and the access is disabled friendly. There are two aspects to our visit that could do with improving to make the overall experience 5 stars. Some staff members could do with customer training as they clearly were having a bad day which made us feel is if we were a burden. The toilets could do with a refurbishment as it just spoils the atmosphere they are working hard to create. The food is exceptionally beautiful and tasty and I would highly recommend. There was a staff member with glasses who was a pleasure to deal with and made us feel welcome.

Excellent food and service. Can’t fault this place. Been several times for lunch - restaurant of choice whenever looking for somewhere for lunch in Elgin. Pizzas are the best I’ve had. Delicious!!! Will be back and couldn’t recommend highly enough! THE place to eat in Elgin in my view.

We couldn’t have enjoyed this place more. Really lovely, helpful staff and beautiful freshly cooked food! Definitely worth a visit!

Hands down best pancakes in Elgin!

Amazing food some of the best pizza weve ever had

Had a fantastic pizza from the mobile tonight in burghead. I look forward to using the mobile again and recommend to anyone who love real pizza to try it out. 5 stars

Fantastic place for healthy food choices, the staff are second to none friendly, helpful, chatty and always respectful. 100% recommended to everyone

Lovely cafe/restaurant 😊 great staff and tasty food. I Normally have the soup and sandwich combo, but unfortunately there wasnt any vegetarian/ vegan soup available, only for meat eaters, so i was a bit disappointed on this visit. 😔 maybe chef could make 2 soups available for vegetarians/vegans and the omnivores daily. Just an idea, after all its "The Planta cafe" Grest for gluten free and other dietary requirements.

What a fantastic find! The pizza was the best I've tasted since moving back from Europe. I'll be back 😁

Best vegan/vegetarian place in town👍🏻

The vegan pizza was absolutely delicious. Good selection of moderately priced but great wines. Service was gracious and friendly.

Food : 10/10 Service 15/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 The food is incredible , you will come to try it from all around a true gem in Elgin. However, the service is what will make you come back time and time again. Nothing overbearing or fake, just good people being personable and running a great restaurant. Our experience; We ordered the seafood platters and half lobster thermidor which is a new addition. (Best seafood we've had, so good my partner who has an unjustly hatred of smoked salmon tried some and she loved it) Sourced that day locally obviously dependent on the catch of the day, the chef came out and apologised that they didn't have crab claws so asked if he could substitute for an extra langoustine, furthermore said he felt the lobster he had left was a bit small for his standards to do half, so would serve whole at no extra cost. Secondly: The waitress who took our order and many other tables on that busy night, stopped to give extra service to a child. They wanted to see the deserts that are stored above the counter and out of easy sight for a child. Asking the child first, she lifted them up to pick from a vast selection. The child politely asked for a strawberry with it, not sure if it was supposed to be part of the desert or not, but regardless she said of course and cut up a fresh strawberry for I'm sure her happiest customer of the night.

We absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing! Had the avocado, halloumi, poached egg, as well as the Principessa Pizza. Both perfect. The atmosphere was great, music choice on point, and the servers (Evie and Taylor) were wonderfully friendly and efficient! Can’t wait to return!

Fantastic food, and atmosphere. A regular here for a few years and never disappoints

Best pizzas in Moray! My favourite place to go from now on.

As authentic a Neapolitan as I've had for a while, soft and crunchy crust. Not an easy pizza dough to work with or get right. If you come here and order pasta you're a fool.

I ordered the Piadina Planta which was a classic Italian flatbread filled with roasted vegetables and a vegan mozzarella cheese. The bread had just the right mix of char and crunch. The sweetness of the roasted vegetables cut perfectly through the richness of the gooey cheese. All together it was very tasty and moreish meal. I’m usually a big meat eater but this was a welcome fresh change. First time coming and will definitely be coming back while also recommending friends.

This was the big surprise of our trip to Elgin. We ventured here on a Sunday morning to have breakfast because there wasn't a lot open and honestly it so far surpassed our expectations it can't be overstated! Because it's a pizzeria by night we perhaps weren't expecting much. I had French toast and my husband had pancakes with all the trimmings and both were truly excellent, as was the coffee! The wait staff were also very friendly. Honestly we would go back in a heartbeat! They were rightfully fairly busy. I wish them every success!

With us both being vegan and having two dogs, it's not always easy to find places to eat! We visited Elgin and were initially looking for just coffee and cake but the first place we discovered didn't allow dogs. We stumbled upon Planta and not only did they allow the dogs but had some wonderful and tasty vegan options on the menu. We had a lovely pizza and pasta followed by an oat milk latte and a tasty flapjack. Definitely recommend!!

Really good food and coffee. Friendly and prompt service. Would be 5 stars but there was a chip on the edge of my plate (not an edible one!)

I was really disappointed. The first impression was the place looks great, cosy but modern. The cost of drinks was probably the most I've ever spent in Elgin at £4 each for a coke. I was one of the first to order during the lunch time service but ended up being one of the last to receive their food. When it arrived we were given one dish and had to wait for the other. My neice had the carbonara (first dish to be served) and the garlic over powered the whole dish. I had the "special" cheese and bacon loaded fries. There was nothing special about them, the chips were unseasoned, with small bacon bits and melted mozzarella. They were very dry, I was asking by the server when they dropped off the meal if they could get me anything else but I hadn't tried the food yet so didn't ask for sauce. When I did try to catch the eye of a server to ask for some I was ignored so had to approach the kitchen to ask. The food was only just ok and definitely not worth the £30.85 price ticket. There are some fantastic local places to eat which offer much better quality food and value for money. The service definitely did not warrant a tip on this occasion. Overall I will not be recommending or returning.

Royal egg brilliant! Friendly staff.

Overpriced limited takeaway menu. Tasty pasta but it has next to no sauce or toppings. Smoothies are good but cost you a fortune. Chips are cheap and frozen. Just another marketing fad same as these new burger places in Elgin. Very average cheap food advertised as something special

Had a takeaway pizza and pasta this evening and it was absolutely delicious - definitely the best pizza i've had in a long time. Already thinking about my next order 😋

Very nice authentic pizza. Could do with a few more topping choices but the staple ingredients were on point. On the expensive side for pizza but it all seemed fresh and it was tasty.

Great food, best pizza we've had outside of Italy!

Really good food, got seated very quickly staff were nice just think some new staff would benefit of extra training as we asked questions and were not answered properly, almost never got our drink ordered and never got our starter until the main and a little expensive. Need a bit more training on what they were dealing with as asked what the creamiest pasta dish was and got told they all of them.

Great pizza! We stopped in here on our way to Aberdeen. Highly recommended. The pizza was very good. I am usually fussy about the crust, but this one was really nice. We also had the soup of the day which was a roasted red pepper which was delicious. Staff were really nice as well.

Les serveurs sont sympas mais tout est lent : la prise de commande, l’arrivée des plats, et il faut presque aller les chercher pour commander un café. Pour ne rien arranger, malheureusement les pâtes n’étaient pas très bonnes…

Very nice food with good service, though a touch pricey

Been to planta a few times, food is good but service is shocking. Waited over half an hour to order and ended up leaving. Bad service is such a pity as food is great

The food was great. The drinks are very highly marked up. So a lil expensive. But it is a nice place

Beautiful Italian food. Helpful and friendly staff. Plus dogs are welcome. My family had a wonderful meal to refuel on our way passing through Elgin. Big thumbs up.

Great pace to eat with a super selection of freshly cooked food. Staff were very attentive.

Lovely fresh tasty food but above all really friendly helpful staff, very enjoyable lunch

First time at Planta. First the positive the food was excellent, as good a pizza as i've had, anywhere: however, the service was poor. Took an age to order drinks and even longer to take the food order. Then had to wait an age for the starters to be served, but it was good when it eventually arrived. The main arrived in a reasonable time but trying to get a member of staff to take an order for another round of drinks, sweets or coffee was impossible so gave up. What should have been a £70-75 spend ended up being a £45 sepend. Shame as i want to support a local business.

My partner and I had lentil soup, we both had heartburn and indigestion all night long, despite the taste tasting ok, the price was high. We paid £14 for two soups...we won't be going back

This place didn't really do it for me, but the food was excellent, and the selection of fresh baking was outstanding. It's a nice little hole in the wall setting that's worth trying once. I found it overpriced for what it was but, I'd still recommend checking it out.

Excellent cafe with attentive staff and very good atmosphere.

The pizza and pasta is so good! Love the texture and taste! Service also nice.

Great vegan and vegetarian options

Excellent authentic Italian pizza. Great selection of wines too.

Was a quiet Sunday lunch, great food and modern feel to the place. Well priced with generous portions

Our food was delicious! Dog friendly too

Food is very good ,but staff should be trained need a good manager it is a very lazy ..I have been twice and Staff were talking to themselves and neglecting the clients ,I wasnot served. Waiting time for Food was aproximately 40 minutes ..The second time the staff was talking among themselves I was waiting about 10.minutes for giving menu...and after waiting for soup and sandwiches about 30 minutes ..it is too long ..the third time I think manager was around and the orders were taken with the convinient time ..it should ve improved

Lovely food. Great atmosphere, friendly efficient staff.

Finally a place to get real authentic Neapolitan pizzas in Elgin. A great menu and great atmosphere. There are plenty of pizzas on the menu to cater to all tastes, with a decent selection of appetisers and desserts too. The owner is excellent and even took the time to check in on us after our meal to see how everything was. I couldn’t recommend this place enough and really hope it stays as successful as it initially appears to be. I’ll certainly be back for more.

Fantastic authentic pizzas Great team that obviously enjoy what they are doing as it comes across in the good and service ☺️

Très belle découverte à Elgin. Le personnel jeune est enthousiaste et super sympa. Les plats sont très abordables et le goût y est ! Nous avons pris des pâtes et une pizza. Succulent !

I wish the evening menu at least offered pasta, a whole pizza is too much for myself, however I did instead have the best salad I've ever had and I'm not much of a salad person. Will definitely be back for lunch some day

Lekkere lunch genuttigd, helaas tafeltje naast de gang naar de toiletten gekregen; niet de beste plaats voor een gezellig restaurant bezoek. Italiaans eten was goed te doen; iced latte was redelijk, pasta = prima en piadina = het lekkerst. Prijs/kwaliteit in goede verhouding. Bediening was netjes en snel.

It was perfect for a birthday dinner. The kids couldn't eat it all and had to have a take away box. I would definitely recommend this place. Great service too Definitely five stars

After a 10k hike we drove about 40 miles because online we found a different great looking vegan restaurant in this small northern town we had never heard of before, only to find it had closed down (maybe due to Covid?) Growing rather tired and hungry, finding only restaurants that don't allow dogs, we almost lost hope, until we stumbled upon this gem quite accidentally. The dog was very welcome, vegan options abundant and delicious (seriously, I have never found vegan pizza cheese quite like this), the service super nice! If we weren't already off on our roadtrip, we would definitely come back for the tempting cakes!

One of the best pizzas I've had in a long time and certainly the best one I've tried in Elgin recently.

The pizzas were absolutely delicious, and the staff very attentive lovely surroundings, unfortunately a huge table of diners arrived and we could hardly hear ourselves think , even thought the restaurant staff asked them to tone it down , it was still very loud…..a shame our tasty meal was spoiled by the noise.. I’ll still go back though …best pizza in town…xx

Amazing! If you are looking for the best pizza outside Italy, then this is the place!

Amazing! The service was outstanding, but the food was exceptional! This is the best pizza I have ever eaten!! The food is just amazing, it's made with passion and love for the ingredients. I can't recommend.end this place enough! It's amazing.

The pizzas were absolutely delicious and really reasonably priced. They serve a great selection of local beers. The service was friendly and kind. We arrived with lots of bags and they found somewhere for us to leave them so that they were out of the way.

Pizzas were delicious and our sharing platter was an ideal way to start our meal along with a moreish Planta red wine. Will definitely be returning regularly. The atmosphere was great and very friendly and attentive service…and the pizza oven, wow, just beautiful 😍

We visited today - whilst driving through. A very lively place to eat - with good staff, and an extensive food and drinks menu. The food arrived and we were all pleased with our choices. The poached eggs with our dishes were cooked to perfection. The prices weren't too expensive. A very good place to stop and have breakfast or a lunch - thanks to all staff that served us, you were great 👍 👌

Egg omelette was a bit raw on middle Quite expensive for what you got

I loved the food and the coffee

Lovely little find for a coffee stop. Oat milk latte. Cakes looked fab but didn't sample this time. Food we saw come out looked delicious.

Lovely food, ambient and staff.

Dropped in for a coffee. Loved it, stayed for breakfast.

Exceptional, the food, the staff everything. Couldn't fault it.

Little gem great food, friendly efficient staff

Lovely cafe and wine bar. Great brunch options and a more extensive menu on Friday and Saturday nights. Didn't try the wines but the list had some interesting options and a selection of local beers. Overall, a step up from the chain coffee-shops. Recommended!

Our regular place..fantastic fresh food& variety of smoothies to die for..

Great selection of mostly vegetarian food. Delicious. Nice decoration and atmosphere.

We 1 st called here for coffees & cheese scone to share. We were so impressed that on our next visit to Elgin,we did not hesitate in calling again. We’re going to try their tempting menu for lunch on our next visit. 5 stars all round😋

First time visited this lovely and quite new place in Elgin. Excellent choices of fresh and healthy meals. Definitely not our last visit there. Staff were friendly and helpful, great atmosphere and we love the decor too. Highly recommend the Planta cafe & eatery to visit. Well done Marius and his team.

Really good to get back here for breakfast and looking forward to an evening visit soon

YOU MUST TRY Their Sunday Morning Breakfast! So good to see batchen street opening on Sundays. Eggs Benedict is delicious. Always friendly. Excited to return for the cheese boards and wine evenings.

Covid safe, we had a 10 min wait, worth it. The staff were wonderful and very personable, I had one of the best eggs benedict that I have tasted, the whole experience was very pleasant.

People very friendly. The coffee was pretty good.

Lovely staff, surroundings are lovely and the menu really varied. Very welcoming, Elgin is lucky to have this place.

Fabulous fresh food & lovely menu. Great atmosphere & very nice staff. The coffee is the best I've had in a long time. Give the bland chains a miss & visit here you won't be disappointed.
