Roo's Leap in Highland

Really good place, with very nice food - and they are good with food allergies. They have separate menus for gluten free and vegan. Another bonus - they are dog friendly.

Great food as always. Service was a little slow..... although it was very busy. But staff were lovely tho

Excellent meal with my family delicious food the chicken burger was one the best I've had the staff were friendly & helpful will definitely return & can recommend thanks to all the staff.

Very dark due to lighting. My aged parents complained they could hardly see what they were eating. Portions are a reasonable size. Burger was alright but nothing spectacular.

The food is well cooked and service is attentive. The atmosphere was lively with families in the majority. Overall pricing makes this a treat.

Fabulous selection of food. All dishes are plentiful and very tasty .. it can be a struggle to finish some of these dishes, so beware. Service is excellent, our server helped with the menu, made recommendations, especially on the portion size, and tried to get us to fit in desert. Lots of great beers and drinks, pretty much spoiled for choice. The restaurant was very busy, it was a Sunday evening, so best to book in advance. Its very easy to get to, were stayed in a hotel round the corner as we were golfing, just a great end to the day when you need food and your tired. Great restaurant, we will be back…. Not just for the drumstick lollipop ..

What a wonderful final lunch of 2023! The burgers were epic. There is also a fantastic selection of no-alc and low-alc drinks. They have separate menus for veggie, vegan and gluten free, which feels a very progressive idea. The folks serving are just so kind and friendly. They were lovely to our slightly sandy golden retriever (we booked the dog friendly zone in advance). This restaurant has a great vibe and we couldn't praise it more. We can't wait to come back and try everything else on the menu!

Excellent food and generous portions. However prices becoming quite expensive particularly the soft drinks, £3.80 for a pint of draft coke!

Stunning place and food. And so reasonable priced. Can't wait to go back and try more off the menu.

Great Sunday lunch, fast friendly service, plenty to choose from and amazing food & drinks

Great food , friendly people never disappointed lost count the amount of times I've been 👌👌

Went for my daughter's birthday, lovely outside eating area,got lucky with the weather which added to the atmosphere, food was delicious , loaded fries were so so good, few cocktails to round off the meal..I had the tacos ...delicious. Staff were so helpful and pleasant..highly recommended.

Great place to eat food, with lots of choice from a variety of different places worldwide. All the food we had was cooked perfectly and tasty delicious. Brilliant atmosphere inside and decorated in line with Australia theme. Didn’t seem like great numbers of staff though, so did take a little bit of time for service, but was great all round!

Quite pricey for things like burgers, salads, etc., however the food was very good. Nice layout and atmosphere, with friendly staff.

Amazing place for a meal, family friendly lovely food & service.

RedVentures review: Dog-friendly at lunchtimes, but they only have 2 or 3 dog-friendly tables so do phone to book ahead (you can't book dog friendly tables online). Also worth noting that the restaurant is upstairs, from an accessibility perspective. Staff so friendly and the menu is wide ranging and SO DELICIOUS. Best burger we have ever had, cooked rare at our request, and served with a little jug of beef dripping gravy. YUM YUM YUM. Onion rings and the Thai beef salad were divine. And the warm sourdough with the trio of butters was one of the nicest things I have ever had. We will definitely be back!!

Not enough choice for vegetarian!

Great Australian theme gives an amazing atmosphere! I ordered the Katsu Chicken Curry which was £24 but delicious! It came with pickled vegetables, coconut rice and pita bread. For dessert I had the Belgian chocolate brownie which was a very good size and was also delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoy having a meal out but since the last time the family ate there the prices have inflated beyond what we feel is reasonable. For a family of 5 we were £240. Don't get me wrong the food was good but essentially the equivalent of burgers, chicken nuggets and a roast dinner doesn't justify the price point. The meals can be realistically replicated by local eateries at a fraction of the cost.

Great family night here for a birthday. Service was excellent and atmosphere super friendly and welcoming. Food was all great and drinks made to perfection. Would recommend coming here for relaxed food and drinks.

I jumped at the chance when i saw this place. And woaw. Wine lists galore. Outstanding australian foods. Especially the josper grill. The theme of the restaurant made me feel like i was at my uncles in western australia. A must visit place. One of the best burgers ive had all year. When my family are home from Australia in august ill be taking them here thats for sure. This place oozes class. And very good dining here. I would book in advance though. Great place to take family aswell. Theyre menu is huge. Its not often im silenced.. PLEASE VISIT

I had the carabisn salad and roasted cauliflower. I’m not vegitarian but this was amazing. The service was amazing and their grapefruit cocktail was so good. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Full restaurant at 1830 on a Tuesday but very attentive & fast service, great menu, good presentation. Not cheap, £18 plus for a burger but it's a very good burger!

Great gluten and dairy free options

Really nice restaurant very close to the sea with an Australian theme, but which offers many dishes from all the countries of the world. We ate the Caesar salad, the slightly spicy soup of the day with their spices (soup a roo), and a delicious humburger with chilli (ROO'S LEAP CHEESEBURGER.) Very kind staff. Average price and quality.

First time visit for us yesterday and arrived to a birthday card which was a nice touch. Staff was helpful and friendly, food was just ok, some things we ordered was rather bland which was a disappointment especially with the high prices they charge. Restrooms are located downstairs (my father in-law struggled with this being disabled) as no lifts.

Lovely restaurant. Food great. Prices a wee bit more than other places, but it's worth it. Staff very nice.

Tasty food. Burger, chips, steak and a salad. All cooked very well. Staff very friendly and attentive. Although the food was nice, prices were definitely on the steep side. All in all it was a pleasant experience and would go back.

We had the most amazing sirloin roast. The best have had since I can't remember when, the sirloin was as soft as butter, perfectly cooked, crisp roast potatoes, caramelised full of flavour carrots and peas and pancetta and the biggest yorkahire pud... topped with beef dripping gravy. Lovely setting and atmosphere.

The staff here are always pleasing and the food is great

Majorly over priced, sat near fire escape door wafts of cigarette smoke all through meal, fish was tasteless, £18 for a steak that was barely a whole steak, all had soft drinks as alcohol was far too expensive, ruined bday meal 😞

Lovely gastro pub with an Aussie theme. Great outlook across the Montrose golf course. Perhaps a bit pricey.

Great food served here. Burgers are amazing. Steaks are the best.

Lovely food ,well presented, helpful and friendly staff.

Been visiting Roo's leap for over 20 years with family and always enjoyed it. Service is always top notch and the atmosphere is usually really relaxed and friendly. I was visiting as a birthday treat with my wife to find a birthday card on the table from the team which is a lovely touch! The only down side was the flavouring. I started with the Burratta as it sounded interesting, it was nice but not as full on flavour as I had hoped but being mozzarella I suppose that can be expected. My wife ordered the cajun king prawns which again was nice but could use a little more cajun flavouring. Mains we both enjoyed our burgers, the fiery spaniard wasn't at all fiery but was tasty and the teriyaki chicken burger only had a small amount of teriyaki flavour to it, the salsa was the prominent feature. Still enjoyable just not quite as full in flavour as I remembered

Lovely place if you can splash some cash. My partner and I go here as offten as we can for special occasions. Defo a meat lovers place!!

The food was fantastic, a bit on the expensive side, but large portions and great food were worth it.

Loved the meal, service was fab. In and out within an hour as everything was so quick! That includes 2 courses. For my main meal I had the fiery spaniard burger and it was INSANE. The crispy onions were a particular highlight and you can really tell the meat is cooked in a special oven... smokey! Rated 5 star for everything, the only thing I was sad about was that the website and reviews say it's dog friendly, but this only applies at lunch time. If you go for an evening meal you cannot take your furry companion. Just one to watch out for!!

Fantastic food! Wish we lived closer to come more often, best burger (Mr Piggy burger) we've ever eaten! Would travel the 200miles just for that.

We had the Sunday roast dinner it was really lovely. No room for pudding which was a shame, they looked great!!

We used to love roos leap but have found it to not be the same as it used to be. They had the most delicious nachos with pulled pork that we had ever tasted but now a hit or a miss and the nachos have been taken off the menu. I know everywhere has put their prices up but the prices have gone up considerably.. so much so that I don't really think it's worth it. If the food was consistently the same and decently priced we would definitely go more often but I don't think we would choose roos leap next time we were looking for somewhere to eat. Another thing we noticed was it wasn't as busy as usual. Sorry roos leap. We are disappointed.

Needed somewhere to eat during a brief stopover in Montrose and were delighted with the food, service & location of Roo's Leap - parking was a bonus as well. Happy to recommend.

Wasn't impressed after a recommendation. Expected better quality and portion for costs of food.

Had a lovely family meal on Sunday 24th March 4 adults 4 children. Food was amazing well presented but not sure if £43 for Ribeye steak small bucket of chip and 2 onion rings half a large tomato and a slice of onion on the steak was worth the money was left feeling very hungry. We all has desert which excellent. Service amazing Fish and chips my husband had looked 😋 great wish I'd had that but all said and done overall 9/10 well worth the 640 mile drive from Plymouth to visit family 😋😋

Always good bite to eat in here, i had a cajun chicken sandwich and salad. Was Great

An Australian restaurant in Montrose, what were they thinking?! It works really well, has great food, is well cooked, and is served with style, in our case, by a waitress from Michigan!. Quite a buzz on a Wednesday. I had the very tasty steak sandwich and would happily return.

Loved it. Good food. Good service. Still think the same 2nd time around.

Visited tonight for the first time in a while but was very disappointed as not as good as it usually is. Portions seem to be less than they were. The One Great Chicken burger was just warm, not hot and not much sauce on it either. Nice homemade focaccia though.

The food is absolutely lovely,freshly cooked and hot. An Asian dish was passed as authentic by an Asian family member. The service is fast and very efficient. Reasonably priced too . Well worth a visit...or2

We were so impressed, the staff from entering the restaurant, right to leaving were particularly polite, we were very very impressed. The meal we had was absolutely delicious. Seating area was spotless & decor very interesting without being ott. Restaurant has a lovely outlook across the links & dunes. Absolutely deserve a 10/10

Brilliant food very friendly staff and also very helpful, will be back here again

The food was brilliant but the portion are MASSIVE!

Visited Montrose for the day and remembered Roo's Leap. We were served by Abby and she was amazing. The food was served promptly. Onion rings and sourdough bread as a starter. Teraki chicken burger with pineapple salsa and the fish and chips were the main course. The food was super and would recommend Roo's Leap to everyone.

Great food, great friendly atmosphere

Went between Xmas and hogmanay where everywhere in montrose seened full. Was packed but got a seat and service was good. I do think £18/19 for a burger is expensive (had bbq one which could of done with more sauce) but food was OK. Chicken pasta was tasty also.

Lovely pop up breakfast experience.

Kitchen full of microwaves, better off looking for a takeaway if you want something edible, foh seem stretched very thin no wonder they have more staff coming and going than customers.

Enjoyed the food and service, great could take the dogs in

Riktigt bra mat. Kan varmt rekommenderas 👍

While Roo’s leap is a bit of a trek from Aberdeen it is definitely worth the trip! Focused on steaks and burgers the food was tasty and portions were perfect. Sourdough and Olives as a starter followed by Fillet, Bavette (not so well cooked) and Ribeye, all delicious and well seasoned but sadly not piping hot when served, plates were possibly cold too! Desert section caters to everyone and extensive beer, wine and spirit selection, all of which was fairly priced. Decor fits the theme and staff were busy and helpful.

Very tasty food, with friendly service. I loved it. The food was a nice fusion of spices (not too hot), but kept the tastebuds tingling. All of the staff, quite young were incredibly friendly, professional and slick. A credit to the team. Good vegetarian options as well. I'd certainly return or recommend.

First time there and choice of food limited. Quality and quantity good.

Was there for a work night out and had a great time with superb food and staff that were lovely with efficient And quick service

Really enjoyed visit. A meat heavy menu. Some of the best coleslaw I've ever had. Service really good, we were looked after. Maybe a tad expensive.

Absolutely spot on as it always is.

Amazing hospitality, especially the professional staff. Loud and crowded vibes. So if you are thinking of quiet and calm, maybe try somewhere else.

Busy and a bit noisy....but it was a bank holiday Sunday.... Food was great and service was second to none.

First time here, food was amazing, we will be back soon

My family have dined here since it's first opening decades ago. Food has slowly dropped in quality and quantity till it's now unremarkable. Still a nice enough place to go, but a shadow of what it used to be.

Absolute gem food is amazing! Service is fabulous everyone is so accommodating and gluten free options are fab. Will be returning next year

A busy friendly restaurant serving good food. Best to book at busy times

Absolutely tremendous place. Food is incredible and the staff and atmosphere are excellent. Thanks very much to Elishaa who was brilliant. But compliments also to the chef, one of the best fillet steaks I've had. Quality place quality food, quality people. Top marks all round!

Came here on Saturday 19th July 2023, food was good and service was excellent, would recommend

Delicious lunch here. Friendly staff and quick service. Food is super tasty with innovative flavours. You don't want to miss this place if you're in Montrose!! A real gem.

It’s not often I feel compelled to leave a google review, however Roo’s Leap was really great! Stunning food and great vibes! Definitely coming back again to this awesome Resturant!

Lovely restaurant, great service and tasty meals. Very busy we were there on Sunday evening and we booked online.

1st time coming tonRoo's Leap, and it certainly won't be the last. The food was delicious, and there was loads of it. I had the Aussie burger which had a sunny side egg, bacon, cheese, pineapple salsa and some beetroot and the bf had a cheese burger with chilli added to it. We also got a mac and cheese side. Both burgers were served with skin on fries. Staff were very friendly and the decor is lovely. They have a good range of drinks too. I had the cocktail of the month, which was a Lady Marmalade. 10/10 for everything.

Great place to eat. Friendly staff.great food.

Chelsea/kelsea was amazing, as was the food.

Excellent service, knowledgeable and pleasant staff. Great food if a little over-priced. Music was blaring when we arrived, but turned right down as soon as we asked. Wine selection poor and very expensive.

Went to Roo's the evening before heading home after a short break and wow! It didn't disappoint. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, the atmosphere was great and service was fantastic. Timing inbetween courses was really good, didn't feel rushed at all. The food quality was pure perfection. All 3 of us had clean plates with the exception of a few chips or a bit of burger bun. Highly recommend

Superb food amazing waiting staff great atmosphere. LOVED IT.

Visited this restaurant twice in a week while traveling for business. The hanger steak was delicious and the range of beers on offer was great.

Great service and the food was yum.

Food was great, although unusual. Not what I'd consider Australian cuisine. Good size restaurant but gets really busy so must book in advance. Staff very attentive which was nice to see. Atmosphere reminded me a bit of nandos though which was a shame. Maybe just the younger clientele and booth like tables. Very good range for vegans and veggies

Long wait for takeout. Food was good, always busy. Nice location

A bit pricey but the food was great.

We were surprised to find that Roo’s Leap had closed down and another restaurant is in its place. The new restaurant seems busy when we have gone past.

First trip here after hearing some mixed reviews.

The second time my wife and I have visited this restaurant and is very good, my wife is allergic to bell peppers but this restaurant is always good at making things fresh without peppers

Australian concept?! Nonsense. Burgers are connected to american styles; really just a standard fast food approach. Actual taste very mediocre... the standard chains are superior to this... no draft beer, only expensive botteled lagers... avoid this place... there are much better alternatives

This place is a total god send for anyone with allergies or intolerances, brilliant gluten free menu and the staff are great fun and well informed.

We were surprised by the place, as we were not expecting that much. But the burgers were the best we had in aviemore, and the Salad was excellent with plenty of dressing. The the kids loved their meal.

Popped in for lunch. I was feeling hungry, as were my kids. Food was good and portions were huge. That is all good in my book! Good selection of burgers, hot dogs and other family friendly fare.

As we were in Aviemore during a busy school holiday period we pre booked a table which was a wise decision. Although the staff were young they were extremely efficient and pleasant. Our food was lovely and of generous proportions. The only the I would say is that if you are after a romantic meal out then this may not be the ideal choice.

Went there yesterday for an evening meal with my partner. Servers happy to accommodate walk in service and promptly took order and their approach to customers was a definite highlight.

We went to Roos Leap tonight for tea and it was really good. The service was excellent throughout and the food was really tasty. We didn’t wait long for either course and we would certainly recommend.

Went for a weekend to aviemore. Was looking forward to evening dinner here but it was sadly very disappointing. The onion blossom was a greasy affair. Main dishes arrived loaded with fries. Burgers x 3 were all very tasteless with a mushed coleslaw and greasy tasteless fries. Chillie dogs were just as disappointing. One of our party tried to order sparkling mineral water to be told there was none left. ??? What restaurant does not have sparkling mineral water. Everyone left huge quantities of their main dishes as unseasoned and very tasteless. Ice cream scoops faired a bit better. Will not return again to this restaurant even if it is the only place open in aviemore.

The servers warned us ahead of time that the Awesome Onion Blossom couldn't be served as advertised because there were no large enough onions available. We decided to go for it anyway, and the reward was well worth it. Piles of onion strands are hand dredged in a surprisingly spicy, peppery batter in a similar way to fish shop scraps. This truly awesome blossom is easily enough to share. In our case it made up our entire dinner, complete with a yummy side salad. As we explained our onion ring experiment at the till though we learned that this location of Roo's has unfortunately been sold and will soon close. Definitely a memorable onion experience.

We visited on a Saturday night and place was busy but they had a free table. Service was very good and attentive. Decent choice of menu but predominantly burgers which we both had. The burgers were very tasty and enjoyable. Would certainly visit again when next in aviemore
