Very generous portions of fish, chips and haggis. Delicious food and a strong curry sauce, finished off with some lovely vanilla ice cream. P.s. Sorry about my 2 year old daughter shrieking- you guys were great with her!

First day of holiday so wanted something quick and easy, having read other reviews we thought Smiffys was the place to be. The party had haddock and chips while myself and sister had chicken fillet burger and chips. Meal Super Hot (even though we had to travel a little way back home), plenty of chips and the burger was simply 👌🏼. Juicy, crispy and full of flavour. To make this raring a 5⭐️ is maybe look at adding a slice of tomato or a few strands of onion. Other than that highly recommend

We stopped at Smiffys twice with our kids whilst staying in Aviemore. My daughter has coeliac disease meaning trying to find somewhere she can safely eat can be tricky but the staff at Smiffys were very knowledgable and were able to tell us straight away what she could have with her chips - that are always gluten free. It always puts our minds at ease when the staff are clued up on what’s required whilst eating out with coeliac disease and Smiffys did just that.

We stopped in Aviemore for lunch with our tour group after visiting the Culloden Battlefield. It was a little rainy and cool, so we ate lunch there since they had a very nice indoor seating area. We ordered the fish and chips and chicken nuggets. The food came quickly and was good.

We came across this Fish & Chip takeaway on Bank Holiday Monday afternoon and it was the only one open at 3.30pm. However the quality of the food was excellent at a good price and will definitely visit again even when other places are open. Excellent value for money

Phoned in an order for us to collect. It was ready when we arrived and piping hot. Quality was excellent. Service superb. An item was forgotten but as soon as they realised they called us and we were able to go back and they ran out to the car with it. Recommend this chippy in every way.

I was in Scotland for a week's holiday with friends. We were looking for somewhere to eat. This place looked lovely clean and tidy. Unfortunately they overcooked the food. Perhaps because the staff were grouped gossiping and not concentrating on the job

At Avimore, in the heart of Scotland"s mountainous Cairngorm Natural Park there is never a shortage of visitors, among many other things they demand, sometimes, their ration of the classic "fish and chips" (fried fish and chips). Having local children because even this happens to you. Before that goes to the most famous of the main street, which everyone talks to and everyone goes. And that"s Smiffy"s, clean, attentive, fast and with first-rate products that even the most detractors of this British product will have to shut up a little. Good product and place where much more is sold than fish and chips, among which we find haburguesas, haggis and similar products.

The welcome was very very very uncomfortable. The guy at the reception desk made us feel unwelcoming. He gave us a death stare as if we asked him for his life while asking if could grab some coffee and leave. The staff who served us, were very friendly, but then another staff just spoke so rudely. Would not recommend for anything. The view is good, but down the road there’s another beach for the view. So would never recommend this place.

Considering where this fish and chip shop is located the fish was disappointing. Rather overcooked. Chips were tasty but expected more for the price.

We ate here last night, 2/11. We believe this is a temporary venue for this fabulous restaurant whilst their other premises are being renovated. We were warmly greeted and seated in a busy restaurant that had a warm and friendly feel. All the food sounded delicious especially the specials. Of the three of us I was the only one to have a starter - the hot smoked salmon tart - delicious! Crisp pastry, tasty hot smoked salmon and rich veloute. My dad the venison which was rich and soft - melt in your mouth tenderness. Whilst my husband a generous portion of seafood pasta - it was tasty, hot and very fresh - he said it was amazing. I had the monkfish special - loin wrapped in Parma ham with scallops. Again delicious! Service was the right mix of friendly and competent. A lovely restaurant serving very delicious food. We will visit again if we are up in Fort William.
