Roo's Leap in Highland

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.

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 😋😋

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

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

The food was brilliant but the portion are MASSIVE!

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

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

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.

What a wonderful final lunch of 2023! The burgers were epic. There is also a fantastic selection of no-cal and low-cal 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!

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.

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.

Great place to eat. Friendly staff.great food.

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.

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.

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.

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

The food always hits the spot with great burgers or Mexican specialities. However the service always amazes me with stag and hens and troublesome young families early doors they always seem to just smile through it all and make you feel so welcome.

Large group of 20 ladies on a hen party. Matthew the waiter was great, quick service, kept us laughing with his banter and overall experience was great. Will definitely be back and recommending to friends

The menu has shrunk down since our last visit, with mainly burgers now. Got the feeling it was more Mexican than Oz. Asked the staff for a Gluten Free pasta meal, but was told we could have it with rice! This is despite the website displaying a large Gluten free menu. The Chicken Dijon used to be to die for. It seems that its no more.

A good varied menu and superb if you are coeliac as they had a excellent choice on the gf menu. Good portion size and the best burgers I have tasted in a very long time. Service is very good and very attentive. We had a 2 year old with us and his food was brought out as soon as it was ready. Good place to go with families and good location in Aviemore.

1/2 fish and chips en quesadilla met als voorafje nachos. Prima op smaak, vers, niet te vet, leuke bediening. Wijn per glas mogelijk

Staying in the town as doing the nw500 route. Great food was wanting a steak and chips all day and it did not let me down was a good meal and the beer was also good. Great service as well.

Decided on a home cooked meal. The restarunt is located near platform 1 of the train station. Food was good hot and ample amount. Ordered a chicken ceasar salad. Would recommend food at this restarunt

Burgers are huge and really creative. Come here if really hungry. Really friendly staff and a good buzz and atmosphere.

Well it’s a strange place a Aussie Mexican fusion ! Fine “no worries” started by ordering a VB Aussie beer to be told we don’t have any and it’s not likely we will ever have any again !!! Ok ....

Interesting food at Aviemore railway station. Nice food and nice beer always make for a good night. A full rack of ribs and fries did me good. Very good service too.

TV size Burger Stack, Huge & tasty, worth a visit / try. parking can be a problem due to location, but worth it.

Sehr freundliche und schnelle Bedienung. Die Portionen waren sehr reichlich und Essen sehr schmackhaft.

Went here on a Saturday night with 7 other female relatives including my sister who we were helping to celebrate her 65th birthday. Roos Leap was busy with 2 large stag groups one group getting ready to leave as we arrived, very nice took some photographs for us and one very loud group whose language at times was rather blue. Staff were very friendly getting drinks in quickly and taking our orders. If you don't have a large appetite don't bother with a starter portions are very large. My sister and I who are celiac decided to have the GF fish and chips both choosing the half portion, it did state that the fish was grilled and not battered as normal but it was really tasteless we were both so disappointed but as it was our choice didn't want to make too much of a fuss. I can only advise them to remove this from their menu if they are not going to do proper fish and chips there is enough items on their GF menu without keeping this half hearted attempt at a fish supper. Everyone else at table was happy with all the food they had ordered and my GF dessert was lovely. Would I go back, yes but I hope they have removed the offending item from their menu.

Decent menu and food was good with big portions. Attentive and friendly staff. My granddaughter had her 5th birthday family meal here but did not like the hot dog, she said it was not the usual ones? So the waiter kindly changed ti over for the chicken nuggets which was good of him. I opted for the pasta which was delicious and other members of the family opted for the different types of burgers.

Halte pour le déjeuner inspirée par une mention dans le guide Vert Michelin.

Huge burgers to satisfy the biggest appetites. Burgers appear to be handmade and although it was fairly busy we got our food served pretty quickly. Lots of burgers and some Mexican options to choose from.

Lovely food (half portions of fish and chips and ice cream sundae much appreciated), friendly, fast and efficient service, just a superb place to go with young children. Thank you! And sorry my husband couldn't work out how to leave a tip x We'll be back!

Been here before and it was good although was a about 5 years ago.

Visited with family, kids aged 12 and 14. Extensive menu of all kinds of dishes, kids portions are pretty big!! Lovely friendly staff, nothing too much trouble

Food- average price, generic good hearty burgers, ribs, fish hotdogs with a mountian of chips. simple not blow your socks off but its exactly what you want after a long day out doing activities. Gluten free fish just means no batter so my mate wasn't impressed with that. The ribs were massive! the battered fish was also good size! I had 2 chilli cheese dogs wand they were banging. Came out in good time too. It is a good place for kids and hungry people.

Went here for my son's and dad's birthday. My son has autism, and I was worried about the noise. Matthew went out his way to make my son and me more comfortable. All the staff that served us were amazing. I couldn't rate them higher. The food was delicious and we didn't have to wait long! When it came to the cakes, the staff were lovely, singing along. I will definitely be back! Matthew was such a lovely guy. I hope you guys enjoyed the cake I left!

I visited Roos Leap in Aviemore with my two teenage sons after a day out at the Highland Wildlife Park. The menu was perfect for our tastes. My youngest son had a chicken burger with cheese and fries and also garlic bread. He really enjoyed it and left nothing. My older son had the plain dog with fries and also really enjoyed his meal. I had chicken fajitas which were delicious and it was a very generous amount of chicken. We all had ice cream for dessert ... we couldn’t decide between one scoop or two so I opted for one and the boys had two but they struggled to finish it! We all had two soft drinks each. The cost of the meal was £60 which I thought was slightly on the expensive side as it was only one adult and two children and no alcoholic drinks but overall it was a lovely meal and if we are in Aviemore again we will definitely go back.

If you are hungry, go for the Monster Bob! Joking aside, not many people finish that beast of a burger- loads of great varieties of burger, reasonable prices and great service

Roo's Leap is a decent family friendly restaurant located right in the middle of Aviemore. Portions are ample & there's a range of burger options to suit all tastes. The burgers are the main focus on the menu but there are other options including some Tex-Mex. Service is efficient. We went twice on our visit to Aviemore & all enjoyed the food on both occasions. Worth a visit I think!

Spent 5 nights in Aviemore and ended up there 3 nights. Great burgers and kids menu went down a treat with my 2 children. Wife loved the enchiladas.

Stopped in for lunch, had the slightly spicy burger, i forget the name. Inhad salad rather than chips and it was good with a nice sesame dressing. The burger was tasty, my issue is it was dry. Pretty much fell to bits so quite messy to eat.

Low quality ingredients resulting in a low quality meal. The mince in the chilli nachos was hardly identifiable and the buffalo wings weren’t to our taste. The only positives was the quick service and big portion sizes.

Portion sizes huge, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Food quality average and some dishes better than others, however had better burgers back home in Glasgow, with way more options to choose from. Staff relatively friendly, however some overbearing, and some not looking as though they even want to be there (... I don’t blame them) Few mistakes made on the second visit to the place so won’t be visiting again.

The portion sizes are big, that’s about all I can say that’s positive. The burger was falling to bits, just it’s of mincemeat, covered in sauce.

I had an average burger meals. I mean wasn't bad or something. It was good but nothing special and the fries was cold actually.

Op advies daar gaan eten, binnenkomst zit restaurant vol en moesten ong. 45 min wachten. Dus reserveren noodzakelijk.

After a morning in the Cairngorns we popped in for a delicious lunch.

My friends and I visited Roos Leap one Sunday on a trip through to Aviemore! Food was lovely, massive portions and great quality with some quirky offerings!

We had late lunch here after a trip on the Strathspey Steam Train. They were quietening down after the lunch rush. The staff were really pleasant and helpful with our food intolerances and made sure we knew what was in the food we ordered. The food was good and tasty and served fairly quickly.

Found Roo’s Leap while looking for somewhere to have dinner in Aviemore. There was a lot of choice on the menu and it looked promising.

Always liked this restaurant but stopped for lunch last week and whilst it was not that busy the service was awful. There was one person serving. He saw fit to take bills for payment for successive customers and chatted to everyone. We were really thirsty and hungry. Even had he taken time to take a drinks order. Eventually we got up and left. Very disappointed.
