Silverfjord Bar & Restaurant in Highland

I suspect the Silverfjord is not long for this world. The dining room was freezing cold , half of it set up for breakfast.It also appeared to be a pub with no beer - I had their last can of Doom bar, the only non-lager option on offer. It was also served in a novel way - the unopened can dumped in the top of a pint glass. I made the mistake of ordering the 'home made' burger, I am not sure what it was made of but I don't think any cows were harmed in its making. My wife's fish and chips was OK, but came with no peas, just a piece of torn up lettuce. Chips were cooked ok, though. We didn't stay for dessert, we were in and out in just over an hour, £37 poorer and wiser.

Truly the worst meal I’ve ever experienced in my life. Phoned to book a table and was told we could only have 6:30, but when we arrived there was nobody else there. Ordered a bottle of red wine and we’re given a “British” red wine made from imported South African grape juice. We couldn’t open the screw top bottle at first but when we got into it we found it was like the worst grape juice you’ve ever tried. It was as if the barman/waiter had never heard anyone ask for wine before and grabbed a fake bottle off the shelf that was made for display. The glasses were dirty. I ordered the macaroni as thought anything else might be risky given the cleanliness of the place, I wish I’d just walked out at that point. What I was served was a tin of Heinz macaroni and some raw potatoes masquerading as chips. My partner tried the macaroni and straight away agreed it was tinned - it’s such a distinctive taste that we both remember from childhood. He got the scampi and was served some generic, back of the feeezer scampi which he said was edible, but again with raw chips and a wilting salad. Unfortunately the radiator behind me belting out 30 degree heat in the height of summer, the congealed sugar bowl from breakfast and the stray dog running around the dining room didn’t do much to improve the atmosphere. The most shocking part was that I paid £37 for this experience just to get out of there as quickly as possible. I can’t say enough how disappointed we were with this place after reading such positive reviews and looking at the menu online. The real life experience is the complete opposite. Just don’t go, trust me!

Shabby but not chic. Had eaten here 5 years ago and it was fab but not a patch now with a very restricted and unjustifiably pricy menu. Nothing to write home about but the young lady who served us was great.

You can tell the Silverfjord has had better days. The decor is very tired and jaded. Due to Covid the actual menu offered is 40% of that on their website. Having said that the waitress is really their saving grace,very friendly and helpful. Being a Sunday they were only selling a roast dinner,which was very filling and not bad value. Pub grub really,ok but not exceptional.

We (me, vegetarian wife & 10yo son) ate here during a recent trip to the area. We really struggled to get a table reservation anywhere nearby and ended up in the Silverfjord. My son's breaded chicken was very good, but the rest Chicken Sizzlers & Veggie Curry was ok, but pricey. My breaded mushroom starter looked like it was straight out the freezer, and the desserts were average and certainly not worth £5.75 each. The service was however efficient and friendly. Would I eat here again, very unlikely.

Very good service and food! Friendly waitress and the restaurant was pleasant. We ate during the 'Help out' campaign so the bill was great!

We had dinner here as two families of 8 people. Approaching from the church car park, the building, quirky name and modern font of the ‘Silverfjord’ promised a more stylish setting than what was presented as we entered through the bar. As others have noted, the decor was rather shabby and the dining room felt very much like the back room of a bar rather than a restaurant in its own right. The Coco Pops left out on a table and tinsel on the antlers on the wall added to the feeling that the proprietors didn’t care about the customer experience. That said the young lady that served us was attentive and friendly. Sadly one of the 8 meals (a fish dish) was sent back as it tasted off. Also the steaks were not brilliant but the burgers were enjoyed by the children. We benefited from the ‘eat out to help out’ scheme but we felt the meals would have been quite overpriced at their menu prices.

Lovely evening- great food (burgers especially) and lovely staff. Went out of their way to acomodate us. Highly recommended xx

Health hazard This hotel is rather disappointing there’s so much mould in the bathroom, there’s no toiletries and unfortunately the temperature and state of our room was on par with the service which was non existent. The girl in the bar was lovely though.

We stopped en route for a bite to eat and were very pleasantly surprised by the level of hospitality and quality of the food. Barmaid and chef went out of their way to make us feel at home. Would recommend this place as a pleasant alternative to the hustle & bustle of nearby Aviemore !!

All the staff were lovely, especially the bartender who was very helpful and really went out of her way to accommodate us. She was chatty, very good at recommending drinks, and made us feel like we were locals. The dog was also very cute.

The hotel had no service during the evening. No WiFi available. Bedroom window did not close (by 40 cm).

This is just a little pub in a small village, the prices were over the top and the food was under the counter. We found the service poor to the point of being ignored, our meals were badly prepared and took forever to arrive and the prices were ridiculously. They were serving Co-op best wine for three times the Co-ops prices. This is a very quiet, small country pub with aspirations of being a gold mine, actually it’s as dirty as a coal mine. You are a crappy pub with crappy food, stick to what you know.

We were recommended this hotel restaurant but wish we hadn’t been. Decor : looks run down Hospitality: bar maid was friendly but not very helpful Atmosphere: none Drinks : can only speak for the beer we had, it tasted as if pumps hadn’t been cleaned I left half of my pint Food: it was ok nothing great well pretty standard Price: for what you get it’s a bit on the high £ side We left feeling disappointed, certainly won’t be going back. It’s a shame with some care and customer relations it could be a better place

Kamen hier zu zweit mehr zufällig vorbei. Und werden uns definitiv die Adresse merken! Burger war spitzenmäßig sowohl geschmacklich als optisch. Die Spezialität der Küche ist aber gebratenes Hühnchen, das bruzzelnd auf einer Eisenplatte mit Chips, Zwiebeln und Paprika serviert wird.. Bedienung war aufmerksam und freundlich. Alles in allem verdiente 5 Sterne.

We are here yesterday evening because we saw they had lamb shanks on the menu. Well if it's the last thing you ever do you have to try them. They were to die for!! Served with mashed potato and mixed vegetables and a fabulous gravy, all of very generous portions we ate till we were ready to burst. A meal worth every penny of the £14.95 each. The staff were lovely and the Chef was very friendly and came and had a chat with us. Wish we had discovered this hotel earlier in our holiday.

Stayed in hotel May holiday weekend Sunday 5th. Cheery place and rooms were good. Excellent breakfast. 4 of us stayed as part of the shinty club golf fund raiser.

A very mediocre room, uncomfy bed, with clunky springs and very basic en suite.However, this was a pretty cheap room, although breakfast would have been extra. Thus, it was value for money so no real complaints. If you want cheap accommodation then it is recommended.One big gripe. You couldn't have breakfast until 9.00am midweek. This is far too late, but there is a very good cafe on the main street in Kingussie which opens at 8 and does super, well priced breakfasts. I forget the name.

We headed here as the other pub in town had no food, football or customers. The Silver Fjord did have football, it did have customers but the Chef had gone home for his own tea at 7.45 on a Tuesday night.Barman was decent, poured a decent pint of Black Gold under my tutorage. Decent wee local to have a pint in, although no cast ales.The chicken sandwich from the COOP made for a romantic dinner.

Very noisy as room next to bar and front door of hotel. The people coming and going talking very loud and then banging the front door closed every time. Even people at 6am did it too. Room ok not great. Beds horrendous very lumpy and hard. Bed bases had visible large dampness/wet marks. Would not stay in this hotel ever again. Nobody mans reception - had to wait till 3pm before could get in to hotel all doors locked and after a long journey needed a coffee and toilet but had to wait. Then in morning at 8am when leaving again nobody about so had to just leave keys on reception desk. Breakfasts not served till 9am so hotel looked desserted at 8am. Very disappointed.

Had a great stay with the pooch. Thought I'd booked a really simple single but they had everything I needed plus a bar attached. Will probably stay again.

As no chef at Tipsy Laird we were advised this was only other option. We were a bit apprehensive as despite this once being the best place to eat in Kingussie several years ago we have had a couple of bad experiences more recently due to a couple of changes in ownership. Despite there only being 1 other person in the bar we we’re directed to a sad and tired looking dining room. We were extremely put off by the appalling standard of decoration, the owners are clearly avoiding the major renovation the place needs and makes you question what their standards are like in the kitchen.

Went for dinner with a few family members. Online says dinners served from 5 till 9. We went at qtr to 8 and told the chef had stopped service. This was a Saturday night and was very disappointing. Just puts you off for future meals out.

An excellent choice on the menu reasonably priced. All four of our meals were excellent and the potion sizes were more than adequate. All four in our party really enjoyed the meal and the service,

Had a lovely christmas meal with my family. Good food and excellent service. Made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble.

A group of four went to the restaurant tonight for a meal and were all very disappointed with the meal and the service. Staff were noisy and shouting at each other in the kitchen and at the bar. Sizzling chicken was overcooked and did not taste homemade. The fish was very overcooked and had been deep frozen. The cheesecake was not cheesecake at all but a slice of sponge sandwich cake and the sticky toffee pudding had been microwaved to within an inch of its life! It was dry and very chewy and flooded with sauce in an effort to disguise its inadequacies. All in all a horrid meal.

Me and my partner visited here on a Saturday night and was told there would be an hours wait as they had to big tables - with a large selection of Gins this was not a problem! We were seated within half an hour and both had the lamb shank and chocolate cheesecake for dessert. They were both fantastic! Would definitely come back!

This was my first but not last visit to this superb little hotel. Great food and very friendly staff made for an excellent place to relax for the night after a day walking on the Cairngorms. The sizzling chicken is highly recommended as is the breakfast. It got Spence the Springer's seal of approval and the next trip is already being planned.

Cannot fault this hotel and restaurant. From the moment we arrived the staff were so welcoming, pleasant and helpful. The food was excellent with a really varied menu for vegetarians. Portions were large so work up an appetite before eating! Josh , the chef, could not have been more pleasant ensuring we had exactly what we wanted. George, the manager, was equally welcoming with lots of local knowledge and banter. Clean rooms, very comfy bed and lovely and warm all through the hotel. Would definately recommend this hotel. We will be back!!

Very good food! With the blue paint and only 10 tables the restaurant looks is not matching the food. The food and service is excellent. I would recommend the home special (sizzling chicken), and have a nice cappuchino afterwards.

Good food and plenty of it, good friendly efficient service from the girl behind the bar can't ask for any more.

We made a reservation to the Silverfjord Hotel Bar & Restaurant from abroad. We came at the booked evening to find a sign on the door: "The restaurant is closed tonight because of kitchen failor". Later the owner of the B&B; we stayed in told us we were lucky because the restaurant is horrendous...

Great meal and friendly staff and the potions are HUGE. Beer good and coffee delicious. Highly recommend this wee gem of a place

Das Essen war toll, gute Auswahl, toll angerichtet, große Portion, echt lecker! Auch der Nachtisch war gut. Rundum lecker gegessen!

We were recommended by our B&B; host to go here but we were very unimpressed with our meal. Specials on the board weren’t available and even a standard menu meal had also run out. Lemon mash was grey and like thick wallpaper paste and tasteless and the sliced potatoes served with my salmon were anaemic and without flavour.

Große Vielfalt... und.... sehr, sehr lecker! Aufmerksames Personal! Preis-Leistung absolut ok! Können wir weiter empfehlen... wir waren alle drei Abende in dem Restaurant essen!

We had a meal here last night and the food was amazing! Steak and ale pie was honestly the best I have every tasted and the seasonal veg were seared and were really nice. Really tasty food, great portions, nice atmosphere and caters well for children (son aged 4) the only thing was the restaurant isn’t massive so feel really close to other tables but the staff were friendly and we would defiantly come back if we are up in this part of Scotland again

Food and service were fantastic. Fast and friendly. Lamb shank was very tender & tasty. Well priced.

Was suggested this place as a place to have dinner as it was close to where we were staying. The place is , in my oppinion rather boring with a mix of styles that doesn't go well together. We might have been unlucky but we all had an upset stomach after having dinned here. I was further more unlucky haven been served a hamburger with plastic. The chef came and excused for the incident and offered to make an other burger, but my appetite was gone. He also told me that I wouldn't get charged for the burger, but when I got the bill it was on the bill. I mentioned to the staff what the chef had said, and the we got a new bill, where the burger was off the bill. The service seemed inexperienced. I would not recommend this place.

We were looking for a dog friendly restaurant and found this. We were seated in the breakfast room and received very friendly service. The meals were above expectations. Everything tasted too good that I ate more than I should have, but without any regrets.

Very helpful and accommodating staff. We were welcomed as was Elsa (dog). Had a lovely meal first night food was well presented and tasted delicious. Nice base from which to visit walks nearby.

Nous avons mangé au restaurant et avons été agréablement surpris par la finesse des plats, cuisinés maison, avec des produits frais et de qualité. Assiettes copieuses. Le service est tout a fait correct. Très bon rapport qualité prix!

We had a great meal here. Ben our barman/waiter was brilliant. The food was outstanding. Full credit to the chef for all the home cooked and locally sourced foods. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Heerlijk gegeten. Super lieve bediening. Wij verbleven in een B&B; op 5 minuten afstand. Het was erg druk maar kon nog een plekje voor ons vrijmaken.

Un super petit restaurant avec des produits de très bonne qualité et un service très sympathique ! Je recommande vivement !

Stayed here for two nights with my sister whilst exploring the beautiful area.

Stayed here for what can only be described as a great base for exploring the highlands. The manager, George and all staff especially josh made us feel welcome, friendly and gave exceptional customer service.

Unplanned hotel stay. Really helpful staff, great food (I had the steak and ale pie with fresh local veg and chips with crispy skin on). Room was clean and a good size. Plenty warm enough. Breakfast was really good. Some of the decor a bit dated so 4/5 but value for money, friendliness,helpfulness cleanliness quality of food all 5/5.

What a fantastic service. Great welcome from Lindsey. Food was just amazing. Plentiful. Great portion. Reasonable prices. Good parking. Highly recommend this place. Thanks for a great evening.

A mix of local pub and restaurant. Locals are really friendly and try to speak proper english (authentic) food is delicious and service perfect.

Let me start by saying that we are really happy to pay for good food and are not ones for complaining...although perhaps that should change!

Dropped in here for dinner on Sunday night and although we did not have a reservation they kindly found us a table for two.

El grifo de cerveza era bastante bueno, pero la comida estaba un poco decepcionante mezcla. La mariscada fue una mezcla de muy buen cruce y pescado frito, y algunos pasteles de pescado congelado y horrible de goma"." empanadas calamares También estaban las gambas empanadas congeladas y un terrible cosa que era todo el pan frito y un poco de camarones.

Fuimos a este restaurante sin reserva en una noche entre semana. El personal era bastante desorganizado y la comida era muy promedio. Era relativamente lleno. La descripción en el menú y lo servían eran diferentes objetos perdidos. No volvería.

We checked out the Silverfjord by chance - their sign pointing from the main street led us over. We found a good restaurant with very nice staff. Our meals were good- I enjoyed the mushroom stroganoff and my companion had the lamb shank. Both tasted good and were good value. It was a nice change from the "pub grub" offered up the road. This is a good place to eat in Kingussie and I'd recommend it if you have a few nights in town.

À very pleasant evening at this restaurant. The dishes are very well presented in the plate, using local products.The service is very friendly, and the cost very reasonable. Highly recommended.

I stayed for one night B&B while in Kingussie to attend a function elsewhere in the town. The staff were friendly and gave me details of the times the bar and restaurant were open as well as the breakfast time which was a reasonable time for me since I would be out late. Room was clean, bed very comfortable and room was reasonably priced. Breakfast was basic but certainly tasty, although a bit heavy handed with the freshly ground pepper for my taste. Bacon in particular very good. Didn't use restaurant or bar but spoke to someone who had eaten dinner at the restaurant and they said it was good.

The staff behind the bar was lovely and really tried to make it right, but all the rest was pretty awful...The burger I tried was just horrible, I ate it because I was really hungry. It didn't have any sauce, no garnement, nothing except over cooked meat and already carbonised cheese. Sauce was given apart... The chips were either still frozen, or over baked. The salad looked pretty dreadful.My beer was equally badly served.We heard a dog belling in the kitchen...I don't cook much but I know enough to be able to tell you that this was just poor handling with no respect for the clients.

Prima kamers met goede bedden! Lekker geslapen! Bedden schoon! Rest van het hotel sterk verouderd en het nodige onderhoudt moet op korte termijn plaatsvinden! Het heeft een bar, restaurant met zeer beperkte kaart en ontbijt wordt aangeboden! Hotel nodigt niet uit om er te eten of te ontbijten! Prima om een nachtje te slapen als je op doortocht bent zoals ons!

We stopped here by chance and found it to be a pleasant place. The food was reasonably priced and staff were friendly.

Wir haben uns hier am Abrbdysehr wohl gefühlt!!!Wir waren mit einem Teil unserer Reisegruppe spontan dort, war gemütlich und echt schön!

As we were on a touring holiday and having full breakfasts and had a lunch as well we didn't want a large evening meal so they let us order a child's portion ( ie. half a normal one) this was more than sufficient. The food was excellent.

We went over to the Silverfjord for dinner one evening and had a very enjoyable time there.They staff were very friendly, very attentive and helpful. The food was good and they were happy to make a vegetarian meal even though it was not on the menu.They have a really nice selection of beers (including craft beers) and ciders.

Ate here recently when visiting the area. We had been for a long cycle so we were looking for a good meal to re-nourish ourselves. We were in for a big disappointment! Understanding that it was under new management we thought we'd give it a try (had eaten here a few years ago with previous owners and it wasn't great so never ventured back). On arrival it looked fine but smelt damp (ok the building had been flooded a couple of years ago why still the smell?) Ordered drinks at the bar and after given menus, we sat down. By the time the drinks were delivered we had looked through the disappointing menu (freezer to deep fat fryer style) we were committed. Thinking that they couldn't go wrong with fish and chips and to walk out and find somewhere else would take time and we were starving we opted for that. Whilst waiting for our food I was able to take in my surroundings. The decor was very shabby and the flooring from the bar to the kitchen was dirty and torn - then I spied what I presume to be the chef in his socks - no shoes! When the food arrived it was as I imagined, a pile of black and white chips (strangely very white potato with black skin) and a pre-formed piece of fish. It was watery and tasteless. It came with a salad garnish which I normally eat but after eating the odd-tasting piece of tomato I left the rest. Before going we swithered whether to have a sit down fish and chips in the local chip shop - wish we had.Would I eat here again? not if you paid me!

We stayed 4 nights at The Silverfjord and ate there each night so that shows how good the food and service was because I'm quite a fussy eater. The quality of the home made food is excellent, well cooked and large portions. Breakfast is in a league of it's own. Freshly cooked to order and served by cheerful staff. Service as has been mentioned before is friendly and efficient. I can honestly say every member of staff want all their customers to feel welcome and enjoy their experience. Rooms are excellent value as well, cosy and comfortable with tea and coffee facilities which I like, no biscuits though but for the price of the rooms you can't complain. I would recommend this hotel as a great base for exploring the wonderful Highlands.

The dinner was average. If you can find a better place do go there , else this one is just average. Not much to say.

Stopped off for dinner a few weeks ago with the family. Service was slightly slow very nice staff, our food was average

Had a lovely meal with family last night. Very nice atmosphere. Monica who served us all night is a friendly lady, smiling and happy!

After a long journey was lovely to sit back and relax in the restaurant with a fine glass of Pinot. The menu is uncomplicated but the quality is excellent, portions generous and everything home made. It was lovely to see the restaurant/bar quite full too - especially on a Monday night.As I was staying over, I can recommend the full cooked breakfast too! A great way to set you up for the day

Went there with my husband+ my sister For a meal,The food was top class+the portions are big! Monica the waitress/bar person gave us excellent service+ was very attentive!! Highly recommend this place for a meal!!!!

We were looking for somewhere for Sunday lunch in the area and remembered the Silverfjord was open for lunch again. We enjoyed the simplicity of the fact it was just Sunday lunch on offer, Soup starter, main course with choice of beef or turkey and apple crumble pudding. You could not beat this for value, the main meal came with roast and boiled potatoes, kale, cabbage and carrots, Yorkshire puds and generous amount of gravy. It was all cooked beautifully. We would certainly recommend. Good luck to the new owners it was great to see the restaurant, bar and hotel up and running again.

Been here for a one night. We had received pleasant service, enough of a choice, good food and relatively good value for money, however we had ice cream sundae for a dessert and it hasn't tasted as good as thought it could and expected- maybe look for a better quality one when supplying :) Been sitted in bar area and not really sure if that could be called a proper restaurant, but maybe we've just imagined it differently. Would recommend - portions are big, so you won't leave hungry!

Lovely wee pub in Kingussie which also boasts cafe/restaurant area. The small pub has an open fire which really adds to the atmosphere. New owners are friendly and staff made us feel welcome. Snacks and basket food served in pub also. Will be back next year hopefully.

Food was excellent and fresh, portions were very generous. Only small gripe was the wine list was slightly limited. I'm sure the owners will fix this in due course as it is only just reopened. All the best we will be back.

this is exactly was kingussie needs,a good restaurant,there are not many places in kingussie that offer an excellent and fine dining experience so if you are doubting..this place is all you need,great choice of wines and a menu wide enough to please eveyone.Happy to see this place reopened.good luck guys.All the best.see you soon

The Silver Fjord had been closed for several years until it was bought by new owners. This hotel (five nice rooms), pub and restaurant is near to Kingussie Railway Station.Kingussie is quieter in the winter so I was not expecting too much when I went there for dinner on Boxing Day night. I was very pleasantly surprised. The menu was not the largest I have ever seen but it was more than sufficient. All the main courses cost £9.95 except steak.Examples are: Sweet Thai Vegetable Chilli Stir Fry Served on a Bed of Egg Noodle this is the main I had)Battered Fish and Chips or White Fish Deep Fried in Batter: Served with Hand Cut Chips, Salad Garnish, Tartar Sauce and Lemon. Steak and Ale Pie: Served with Seasonal Vegetables and a choice of either Chips, Mash or Baby Potatoes. (I tasted this from the plate of one my family members and it was great)Braised Diced Beef: Bound in a Rich Ale Gravy, Topped with Pastry and Served with Seasonal Vegetables and a choice of either Chips, Mash or Baby Potatoes. Gammon Steak: Served with either a Pineapple Slice or Fried Egg, Hand Cut Chips, Salad Garnish, Onion Rings and Tomato. (The onion rings were excellent but I was too slow to snatch a piece of the rest of the main course).Chicken Curry: Diced Chicken Bound in a Curry Sauce Served with Basmati Rice, Poppadom and Mango Chutney.Cajun Chicken: Butterflied Breast of Chicken Coated in a Cajun Spice. Served with a Lightly Spiced Tomato Sauce and Salsa Rice. (I had a bite cajun chicken and wished I had ordered it as my main!)All of the above were truly excellent and at such a modest cost I still cannot remain surprised.As to the other facilities of this hotel I shall have to post again once I have visited again - probably in April/May

Great to see this friendly bar & restaurant open again - excellent 3 course meal in restaurant at a very reasonable price - Monica our server, made the evening. Highly recommend.

Good pub food and friendly service. The atmosphere was cosy, without being too quiet. All it now needs is some real ale back on tap. Bottled Black Sheep was lovely, but I missed having the local Cairngorm ales.

This was a place that some people staying at the same B&B had used before and were thinking about using again so was very disappointed to see that it was shutdown.

Best steak I have ever had. The staff were amazing. I usually have my steak well done and the lady who serves us persuaded us to try it medium. She promised it would be the best steak ever and, if it wasn't, she would give us it free of charge. She was not wrong, it was amazing! Highly recommend a visit!

Went to this restaurant on the recommendation of the owners at the B&B we stayed at in Kingussie. The restaurant was lovely and intimate, but the service could have been better. It wasn't busy, but we waited for a long time just to put our order in. I think they didn't have many service staff and seemed they were mostly in the bar area. The food was lovely once it arrived. Overall definitely one of the nicer restaurants in the village.

Great food- coeliac friendly options available without compromise on quality or choice. The staff are very friendly and capable. Was part of a large party and the food all arrived at the same time, hot and beautifully presented.

Au premier coup d'oeil un pub écossais ordinaire, mais la nourriture y est bonne et raffinée, ce qui dénote complètement avec l'ambiance de l'endroit. Compte tenu de la qualité des produits et du soin mis dans la préparation et la présentation, les prix sont plus qu;abordables.

We had a lovely meal here on unfortunately the last night of our stay in Kingussie. The food was excellent very high standard gastro pub/high class restaurant, interesting and varied choices beautifully presented.We ate in the bar area which was very contemporary and cosy, the restaurant area didn't look quite as nice but to be honest we didn't see it properly. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the service was excellent , if only we lived nearer we would eat here every week! It isn't your average Scottish village pub, there are enough of those in Kingussie it was nice to find a better class place in such a small village.

I ate here on my last night in Kingussie and I wasn't disappointed. I had two mediocre dining experiences elsewhere in the village and the food here was absolutely delicious. The bar is stylish and cosy with the open fire. It was quiet when I visited (the weather had turned!) but had been busy when I'd walked by on previous occasions. The man behind the bar was welcoming and chatty and the chef clearly knows what he/she is doing. The menu is refreshing and makes a nice change to standard pub grub. This would be a lovely place to eat with a partner or group of friends/family.

The menu is limited. The prices are rediculous. This is a village pub that doesn't cater to the village. They don't even have rooms anymore

After a long walk in the snowy hills and an exhausting day, we needed some great comfort food and a good beer. The Silverfjord delivered on both. We ate the gorgeous Venison burger while sitting next to the fire, and chatting to the locals.

We arrived in Kingussie yesterday and was recommend the Silverfjord for food. The bar was modern and welcoming, with an open fire and great music. The menu was a pleasant surprise and not your usual basic pub grub. Instead they have opted for modern gastro style food, similar in style to anything you would find in a big city pub. According to their own admission they aim to "use food locally sourced and within season", and you could tell the ingredients were all fresh and cooked to order. There was a slight wait for food, however they were very busy on the night and the complementary bread filled the gap. There was 5 of us and we all had something different. We all were very impressed. The staff were really friendly and we have to pay special mention to Claire our host for the evening, who was very welcoming. Very tasty real ale from local brewer Cairngorm. Overall we would 100% recommend the Silverfjord if you are looking for modern, contemporary cuisine in a local pub setting. A real find.

Tried to go to the tipsy laird but when we got there it was shut, so wandered around in the snow until we found this place. Didn't look like a restaurant from the front, but once we found the bar it looked lovely, the barman was friendly and the menu, although expensive, sounded amazing! The complimentary bread was delicious so we had high hopes. I ordered the venison, and my partner had the beef. We were sadly disappointed with our food; the venison and red cabbage were nice but the granola that it was on was just plain wierd, and the swede wad horrible - completely undercooked! My partner's beef was pink in the middle but somehow really tough!Overall a disappointment, considering this cost us £50, would not go back.Perhaps they should work on making the quality of the food reflect the high prices, wacky combinations are not enough!

Interesting sounding menu that seemed to plagerise the gastro trend without substance.Things like choriso in a burger in Scotland is a play on words , using the pun of locally sourcedUsing the fat from Spanish sausage as to natural sourcing is silly.Dessert options were typical trendy without taste going for looks as to flavour.The table setting needed a google maps app to find my way around which would have made any Madre d proud but in a pub come on.In their defence Claire and Joe have good intensions but the airs and graces that came withThe small portions dotted sauces and swirls may work if your open kitchen is dry aging their own proscutto but if I can't see it and tastes like another squeeze bottle squirt no thanks

In the town so easy access. Imaginative menu changes often. Reasonable value. Some good whiskies. Recommende but often closes Autumn so can't always visit

visited the silverfjord with friends to celebrate our birthdays and chose our meals from the lunch menu. Two of us had the Sunday roast and one had the fish course. afterwards 2 sweets and 1 cheese board washed down with a bottle of house wine. portions on the small side, price on the large side as the bill came to nearly £90. pricey for a 2 course average pub lunch for 3 people.

We stopped here on the first night of our holidays. The food was fantastic but don't look for large plates of basic food. It obvious that the Chef takes pride in his selection and preparation of the food, as the presentation and tastes were fantastic. Not the cheapest and not the fastest service, but I would recommend to anyone who wants to have a quite special dinner. The hosts were fantastic, as it was one of our friends birthday, and they gave him a complimentary drink of his choice, and from the Hugh selection of whisky's they have it too a while to chose. Great food in a great location.

We ate at the Silverfjord Restaurant in Kingussie tonight and yet again were so impressed by the high standard of the menu and the food. Although it is a limited menu of about five choices for each course we found it difficult to order as all the dishes were tempting, mixing ingredients that were a bit different but which went together superbly. Everything is cooked to order but while waiting we were brought a board of 3 kinds of bread with butter and a mixture of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. My starter of beignets were filled with Strathdon blue cheese and served on puréed celeriac with caramelised walnuts and raisins. My husband had carpaccio of beef with pine nuts and rocket which was equally delicious. For main course I chose the lamb - 2 pink ribs of a rack, tender confit of belly, large roast garlic cloves, a few triple cooked chips, chicory and slivers of Parmesan and chopped pistachios. Interesting, unusual but complimentary flavours. My husband had salted hake with walnuts and served with a cheesy potato brandade on a crisp crouton topped with olives and slivers of al dente cauliflower. We did not have a dessert but looking round they appeared to be just as good as the first two courses. The wine was reasonably priced too. We overheard other diners complimenting the staff on the quality of the food. It is unusual to find such wonderful,food in a small Highland town and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent meal,at a reasonable price in Speyside.

Went to this hotel before the fiddlers Rallye last night. Always a pleasure to dine here.The staff are cheery and enthusiastic.Food was as usual excellent. Produced with imagination and flare. Well prepared and served using clever touches with the serving dishes. We had the lamb, and the venison. Excellent.

We had planned our weekend trip from Edinburgh to Grantown-on-Spey and had spent sometime reviewing restaurants along the route before finally booking Silverfjord. After three hours in the car we were all ready for a good meal, kids had come straight from school so were starving! The staff are really nice and friendly and the place is clean and had a good atmosphere but we were so disappointed with the food....what happened in the kitchen?....it was awful! maybe it was the chef's night off? The two kids meals of fish fingers and also pasta were just about ok but the mains at £12/15 per plate were simply inedible and so bad that much was left untouched. Being terribly British we didn't have the heart to complain but really it was such a shame, we ended up getting a picnic in the nearby co-op and eating on the rest of our journey to Grantown.....come on Silverfjord you can do better!!
