Tannochbrae Restaurant in Moray

Tannochbrae is a must in your stay in Dufftown. James and Louis run a top notch B&B and restaurant. Make reservations. Come a tad early and have a drink and a dram in their cozy sitting room. Order from the sitting room and will be seated when your food is ready. The food is fresh, local, and very very good. Take your time and enjoy this elegant Scottish experience. Save room for dessert!

Fantastic meal including locally made (made by the Tannochbrae owners in fact) Balvenie St Ice Cream in various whisky flavours. I highly recommend. Note that at present this restaurant is only open on Mondays.

Fabulous pub with EVERY SINGLE whisky you could possibly want! Delicious pheasant, grouse, salmon, perfect vegetables, yum, yum, yum!

Als Hausgäste nahmen wir die Gelegenheit war, dass der Gastgeber einmal pro Woche ein Abendessen anbot. Ein 3-Gang-Menü für 30£. Also wirklich nicht günstig, sondern ein Preis, bei dem man schon etwas höhere Erwartungen hat. Jedoch schon die Vorspeisen lösten unsere Hoffnungen nur teilweise ein. Sowohl der Krabbencocktail auf Salat als auch die Rebhuhnbrust mit Salat waren okay, aber auch nicht mehr! Lediglich das Haggis war echt köstlich! Beim Hauptgericht spürte man die Liebe der Briten zum Essig bzw. zu säuerlichen Aromen. Das Steak war an sich gut gegart, jedoch mit Essigsoße und die Gnocchi mit Tomatensoße waren auch sehr säuerlich. Hier tippen wir jedoch auf Wein anstatt Essig. Zu beiden Hauptgerichten gab's Pellkartoffeln und Buttermöhren als Beilage! Zum Dessert hatte ich den Fehler gemacht, einen Crumble zu bestellen, da ich den Nachtisch 2 Tage vorher in den 7 Stills so positiv in Erinnerung hatte. Leider hielt er dem Vergleich nicht Stand. Creme Brulée und Whiskyeis waren okay. Leider war jedoch der weiße Hauswein so wie schon jemand anderes bemerkte überhaupt nicht lecker. Den hätten wir am liebsten stehen lassen. Also insgesamt eher enttäuschend. Essen zwar okay, aber nicht dem Preis angemessen.

Et utvalg og en kunnskap om Whisky som man ikke bør gå glipp av. Både mat og drikke var fantastisk. Kommer helt sikkert tilbake

Wir waren für schottische Verhältnisse spät dran und deshalb fast alleine im Speiseraum. Dort fühlt man sich fast wie in einem privaten Wohnzimmer, auf sehr angenehme Weise. Die Speisekarte war eher klein, aber es gab auch etwas für Vegetarier. Es hat uns allen sehr gut geschmeckt und die Beilagen waren besonders lecker. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen, bedient und verabschiedet. Kann man nur empfehlen, auch wenn es etwas teurer ist als der Durchschnitt. Etwas Besonderes ist die kleine Bar, in der es (mindestens) für jeden Tag des Jahres einen anderen Whisky zu probieren gäbe.

Wir haben auf Empfehlung dort gegessen. Es war sehr lecker und obwohl wir allein im Restaurant waren (vermutlich wegen der Uhrzeit 18Uhr), wurden wir super bedient von der Familie! Noch dazu hatten wir mit dem Koch/Chef eine nette Unterhaltung :)

Ein etwas gehobeneres Restaurant, wo man besser vorbestellen sollte. Man sitzt erst gemütlich im Hinterraum neben der Whiskybar, bevor man, kurz bevor das Essen fertig ist, nach vorn in den Speiseraum geleitet wird. Die Speien sind als 2 oder 3-Gang Menu aufgebaut und waren sehr lecker. Die Whiskyauswahl ist ebenfalls gut. Die Inhaber sind sehr freundlich.

The food was beautiful, everything was fresh and cooked to order, and locally sourced and in season. Breakfast was the same with lots of verity to choose from.

This restaurant is part of to a Guest House in the town. It is small but has a nice menu and an excellent bar. Prices are quite high but the quality is good. Service was friendly and helpful. However, I was puzzled by the lack of an ice bucket for our white wine - the only options were having the bottle on the table or taking the wine away to keep in the fridge. What is that about? Perhaps that staff member was very new? The location of this restaurant is good too - right in the centre of town. The kitchen closed at 8 pm which felt very early in midsummer but this is rural Scotland.

We were delighted by the coziness and friendly service, the food was great, we even got to meet the young chef.

The staff are incredibly friendly and the food is wonderful. The rooms are very comfortable and the whisky bar has almost 400 different bottles!

Das Ambiente ist etwas "trocken" und hat Entwicklungspotential. Die Speisen sind in Ordnung, aber nicht gerade umwerfend. Der Wein, den wir "genossen" haben, gehört eigentlich nicht in das Angebot eines Restaurants, sondern bestenfalls in das Regal einer Laden-Liquidation. Preis-Leistung daher nicht erfüllt!

We were greeted by Big Ben, unlike his London counterpart, Big Ben had a much softer side to him and clearly caught the eye of the ladies. He took our coats and showed us through to a delightful bar jam packed with whiskies and we sat in a bonny wee room on leather bound chairs to enjoy an aperitif. The ambiance was terrific. It wasn't until we were shown through to our table that we experienced real treat. Despite the Norwegians at the adjacent table having ordered all the scallops (they were forgiven for being so nice and friendly) the starters we did get were scrumptious. Then the mains arrived. My ordinary rump steak was anything but ordinary. Cooked to perfection with a crunchy medley of just right veg. They raved about the carrots done in a butter and honey sauce but the piping hot cheesy cauliflower and broccoli was my favourite. Then the worst happened. My wife's partridge arrived Glenrinnes Pheasant Breast with black forest ham and red currant sauce and was passed to her under my nose. The heady aroma was all too much, it smelled wonderful and despite my perfectly cooked steak I now wanted that. I waited until she went to the toilet and took a forkful - it was glorious. The same happened with the sweet, my crumble was tart and lovely but the sticky toffee pudding and whisky flavoured ice cream was so alluring that I grabbed my spoon and stole a chunk. Oh how I wish I'd had that too. Seriously this was so good that I don't want anyone to go there. I want to be able to book a table anytime I am back within a hundred miles of that place. I liked that the chef / owner came out and talked to us afterwards. A very pleasant (and remarkably young fellow) we heard lots of good things about him from the locals. I would say that this was the best food I have eaten anywhere in the world - and I've been to McDonalds and Burger King.

I had the pleasure in eating here last night and I was very impressed. I was up staying with old friends who treated me to dinner. The menu offered a great selection of local game and meats, including a very tasty haggis from the butcher across the road. The house wines were very good and served at a lovely temperature. The highlight of the trip was to see so many whiskies in such a small bar. In summary, great setting, service and food.

Ate here one evening for dinner and found their food to be average and their prices high for the quality of food received. We would not go back.

We had worked up an appetite after a walking whisky tour and were rewarded by delicious, well presented food. Particularly enjoyed the haggis, neeps and tatties despite myself! Service was attentive and efficient.

YUM! This is a casual restaurant with terrific traditional Scottish dishes. We also loved it because it wasn't loud and we could actually visit and hear our friends! Enjoy!

vi hadde The whisky Dinner på denne Restaurant under høstens Whiskyfestival. Og jeg må si det var en positiv opplevelse.Fantastisk mat og god service. Håper de kan holde standarden på denne nivå.

Sehr gutes Essen, angenehme Atmospähre und toller Service. Und die Whisky Bar ist wirklich ein Muss !

We had a lovely set Scottish dinner here after our whiskey tour. The highlight for me was the starter, haggis with neaps and tatties, which was outstanding! Our main course, pheasant, was good as well.

We ate breakfast and dinner at Tannochbrae; both were excellent. The breakfast menu offers plenty of traditional Scottish breakfast options, and the dinner menu had great, locally-sourced food, beautifully cooked and prepared.

At the beginning we was placed in a small room as our table was to be set despite our booking well in advance. When we waited our order for water and so on was taken but it was not served until we asked for it more then half way through our starter.The food was ok but not in the level the restaurant aiming for.As we needed gluten free food we was given a list of the ingredients in all the dishes which was good.Expensive and not worth that much of GBP.

Hammer. Meine Frau nahm den Fasan und ich das Wild. Perfekt gebraten und einfach nur lecker. Die Zutaten sind frisch und regional. Als kleiner Tipp: Die Whisky-Glace ist der Hammer. Unbedingt ausprobiere

What a gem!Highest quality cuisine in this small restaurant. Father and son: owner and cook: dream team :-DAnd then the casual mention of the whisky bar as we were about to leave...... a cosy sitting room and endless rows of precious whisky bottles. If only we had had more stamina!

Great night out at Tannochbrae! Lots of whiskey choices... Some very rare. Food was excellent, and very delicious. One of the classiest joints in Dufftown! It also has guest rooms. Did not see this, but I would imagine that it would be very good, based on our experience at the bar and restaurant.

My wife and I enjoyed the set dinner at Tannochbrae after our distillery walk. My wife is vegetarian and our Distillery Walk Guide Michelle Myron had kindly reserved us for dinner at the Tannochbrae. Alan and James who are warm hosts were well prepared and served us a delicious meal. Portions are large and many people may not be able to go through all courses. The meal is wonderfully presented, and very tasty, and the service is very warm. They also have a very nice collection of whiskies to choose from, and some very decent house wine which I sampled and enjoyed. If I were going back to Dufftown, I would certainly dine here again!

The food is excellent & so is the collection of Single Malts at the Bar. The restaurant only has set menus. Portions are large & food is very tasty & well presented. The owner is a hands on person, ready to help you with suggestions. Those with small appetites should only do the Mains. They also have accommodation on the premises. Located bang in the center of town on the main street.

My wife and I enjoyed our experience at the Tannochbrae. This is a B&B with a restaurant that's open to the public on the main floor. When you arrive, the host greets you and seats you in their lounge bar where they have a large selection of whiskeys. The menu was varied and all of our dishes were well prepared and served. There is no fault to be found, but be prepared for relatively high prices.

After the Dufftown Distillery Walk the guide arranged dinner for our group. A haggis starter that was delicious, then a lovely pheasant. Very nice atmosphere and an excellent meal.

Essen ist uns beim Reisen überaus wichtig - hier haben wir in einem winzigen Familienrestaurant frische und traditionell inspirierte schottische Küche genossen. Hervorragend die neue Variante des Haggis, wunderbar die Fasanenbrust mit Beerensauce und der Lachs (in Folie gepackten). Unbedingt empfehlenswert.

Von A-Z einsame Spitze was die Küche auf den Tisch zaubert. Das Lamm (für zwei Personen) ist das Beste welches ich je gegessen habe.

Overdådig middag hvor whisky og mad var i højsædet. Underholdning af den "kendte" troubadur Robin Laing. En tribut til The whisky festival og Speyside

Wir sind heute das zweite mal in dieser Woche hier. Essen ist sehr gut, doch leider beide mal die gleichen Beilagen. Was heute etwas schockt wir wollten 6 Espresso leider nur 3 verfügbar.

After the Dufftown Distillery Walk that I've reviewed elsewhere, Michelle of Speyside Tours arranged an excellent meal for us at Tannochbrae, with each course paired with a suitable whisky. Among the very impressive collection of bottles in the small bar area, I had also spotted a couple of whiskies I had been having particular trouble tracking down and had to have a glass of each, whilst chatting with Alan, our host. Marvellous!

A very good meal, lamb, and a nice service. We entered and was served within 30 minutes. Just time for a locale beer before being seated. It was summer so would have prefered outdoor service, but only drinks were served outside.

Absolutely delicious local fresh food. Rack of lamb is strongly recommended. Some of the best food we ate in Scotland, but the menu seemed more French to me.

Very good local food and a sensational Whisky collection. Not really on the cheap side, though. Booking a tale isstrongly recommended.

We had a 2-course pix fixe meal. The food was fabulous. The haggis and clapshot tower with whisky cream sauce was amazing. My vegetarian partner was particularly delighted by the delicious and inventive offering they had for him.

The service in the restaurant wasn't satisfactory. Only the welcome was unusual. We sit in a small romm with an aperitiv and wait there for the table (the restaurant was empty).? The bill was not correct, but after our complaint, the chief has correctet it. Expensive.

The menu is a little pricy, but the food and service made it well worth the trip. Everything from the mains to the veg were excellent. And the evening was topped off by sticky toffee pudding, which is one of the most insanely great tastes i've ever experienced.

There aren't too many places to go in Dufftown for a nice dinner, but luckily of the options available, this is one of the best. We made reservations in advance and then walked to the restaurant from our B&B. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the food was really quite good.Upon arrival, we were shown into a lounge where we looked over the menu, made our selections, and enjoyed a drink before being shown to our table. My husband had the chicken and I had the pheasant. The sauces for both of the meats were very good and really complemented the dish. The sides (carrots, cauliflower, and potatoes) were all tasty as well. Following the meal, we went back to the bar area for an after dinner drink and the gentleman was very helpful in selecting just the right dram.Overall, a very enjoyable evening, and I'm really glad that we stopped in.

De voorgevel doet niet vermoeden welk uitstekend restaurant en gezellige bar zich hier bevindt! Mini bar qua plaats maar heel gezellig, met meer dan 300 soorten whisky. De bediening, de uitleg, de presentatie van zowel de drankjes als het eten was uitstekend. Het eten zelf was uitmuntend en de borden werden aan tafel gevuld. Hele vriendelijke mensen. Absoluut aan te raden!

Excellent food and a fantastic whiskey bar. The staff was great aswell. They really lived up to their slogan "Home away from home"!

We are locals and thoroughly enjoy eating here. Excellent, friendly service, willing and able to cope with particular dietary requirements. Lovely fire in the pre-dinner lounge. Lamb is a signature dish and fantastic. It's a very good dinner for the hungry. For the easily overfaced ask for a smaller portion. Love the way they keep a classic, local menu but still keep adding or trying new things.I find the dining room a little cool sometimes otherwise the surroundings are thoughtfully arranged, the music great in choice and subtle volume. Great service. We love it.

Good food. Nice rooms. Nice fire place and bar. Many different whisky to taste. Easy to park the car if you need

Vi hadde store forventninger til middagen ,fordi vi har spist flere ganger der. Alltid mat av ypperlig kvalitet,men denne gangen var det under gjennomsnitt. Spesiellt etter vi fikk servert is i pappbeger!!

Das Essen war hervorragend und auch wenn es teuer war...das Whisky-Zimmer ist super, aber VORHER nach dem Preis des Dram fragen. Die Strasse runter ist ein kultiges Pub, The Royal Oak, Farbe gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber der Wirt und die 300 Whisky...genial.

We feasted over a marvellous meal hrmonized with whisky, the very traditional smoked salmon, haggis, venison and tatties were all there in a blend of flavours

In the area with a group of nine for a whisky tour. Organised dinner here. Allan was great on service and Susie an amazing cook. Thoroughly recommended. Very homely atmosphere.

Wir hatten einen tollen Abend im April 2011 und kamen sogar in den Genuss die kleine, aber bis unter die Decke mit edelsten Whiskys befüllte, Bar als Wartezimmer nutzen zu können. Das Essen war hervorragend und auch wenn es teuer war...wir waren im Urlaub und da kann man das auch mal ausgeben.

4 Norwegian couples in our 50s and 60s visited Tannochbrae Restaurant in June 2012. We arrived quite late due to a late incoming plane to Aberdeen. The hosts received us warmly, with a fantastic 3 course dinner ready for us, after our short visit in their bar with several hundreds malts. A really fine start on our journey to Culloden, Glenmorangie, Thorso, and the Orkneys. But in Dufftown, also a memorable visit to the Glenfiddich destillery.

They were so accomadating that they made my entree haggis (it is normaly only an appetizer). Be warned, it is fantastic - but a lrge portion!

Der Eigentümer wollte uns zwingen, das Abendessen um 19h einzunehmen, da später ausgebucht sei. Wir mussten glücklicherweise dann doch noch warten, da wir Lamm bestellt hatten, was länger bei der Zuberreitung brauchte. Das Essen war hervorragend, aber wir mussten reichlich extra zahlen. Somit unterm Strich zu teuer.

The breafast is fantastic and very filling. Travelers are given a choice of 4-5 different plates.

Maten av høy klasse. Også et veldig bra whiskyutvalg.Har ikke noe negativt å si.

Great food. Wonderful husband and wife team run the place (I fail now to recall their names....) The Whiskey bar was over flowing with options and we got some very helpful tips from the gentleman who owns the place....We thoroughly enjoyed our stop here.

We ate here two nights in succession, and the food was outstanding value for money. It was more like being a guest in someone's home than a restaurant - warm hospitality, with outstanding personal attention. This is easily the best place we found to eat in the area.

From the reviews i thought we were going to get something special-I could not get a table at my preferred time as a large party was booked in --it was 3 people.On arrival we were welcomed and taken into the little bar area, cramped to say the least. Menu selection ok but in reality my starter of goats cheese + salad was dull .My friends prawn cocktail was basic but acceptable, Our main course of pheasant was a let down. Too much gravy and the meat rather tough.The wine prices were crazy--£30 + and that for little known wines . to pay £100 + tip was too much for what was provided, a shame as we need good restaurants in this part of Scotland.

Im Juli 2011 waren wir für 2 Tage Gäste im Trannochbrae. Die herzliche Aufnahme und ein uriges kleines Zimmer erfüllten alle Erwartungen.Das wiklich Beeindruckende ist jedoch das abendliche Diner. Susies Küche ist großartig und alle Gerichte sind lecker. Frische Zubereitung ist selbstverständlich. Der folgende Whisky in Alans Bar beschließt einen außergewöhnlichen Abend. Natürlich bietet er auch alle anderen Getränke an, aber im Speyside-District.......Das hervorragende Frühstück muß eigentlich nicht erwähnt werden.Danke an Susie, Alan und das gesamte Team für diese tollen Tage!Andrea & Uwe HetzelDresden

The menu offers a good range, the quality is excellent and the staff very good. It is a small intimate restaurant with a nice mix of guests from different countries. My friend and I enjoyed all our courses but I could have had the chocolate mousse for starter, main course as well as my dessert! It also has a good reputation with the locals as a man in a pub said 'oh you get a good meal there'.

We had made reservations to take our meal at Tannochbrae House before leaving home. It was a good choice because we had a delightful evening. Alan served us before dinner cocktails in the whisky bar downstairs. We enjoyed the assortment, talk about scotch whiskies and the general humor. Dinner was fabulous with a number of options. The local lamb was prepared for three and ceremoniously carved at a an adjacent table. It was described as tender, flavorful and the best ever enjoyed. Three sauces were given for the lamb, a mint balsamic, jelled currants and a piping hot brown gravy. I had a delicious fish prepared in what I would describe as tandoori style with preserved lemon and spices. The vegetables included tender fresh baby green beans, carrots, baby potatoes and a separate serving dish of fresh cauliflower with a delicately flavored light cream sauce. While full, we gave in to temptation and also feasted on desserts, whisky rice pudding and creme brûlée. The creme brûlée was as I like, wonderful caramel top on cooled custard, with essence of vanilla, that has the fluffiness of enfolded cream. The whisky pudding was quickly devoured and as perfect in texture and flavor with a hint of whisky flavor. My husband ate his with complete absorption. This is a high compliment as he samples rice pudding wherever he goes!Our server, Jenny, invited us to take our coffee and tea in the back sitting room. There was a sweet small fireplace with a cozy fire. It was so pleasant. We then had the opportunity to meet Susie who reigns in the kitchen. She took the time to welcome us and to share her knowledge of food and the area.

A group of of six of us ate there a couple of weeks ago. We had no idea what to expect, but were completely bowled over by the quality of the locally sourced food, wine list and warm hospitality of the owners. (As well as one of the most well-stocked whisky bars we've ever seen). Portions were generous and exceptional value for money. We enjoyed haggis, loin of lamb, prawns and angus steaks. The desserts of creme brulee and chocolate cheesecake were both homemade. An absolute treasure and would definitely recommend to others.

At there one night during our 2 nights staying there. Had the Phesant for main course - brilliant and a very large portion. The haggis-starter was also great tasting and rather a large portion for a starter. Was unfortunately tempted with pudding at the end, tasted great - although my filled my stomach to capasity.Great value at under £30 for a 3 course dinner. Good drinks to go with dinner as well.

My wife and I had a fabulous meal at Tannochbrae. Good selection of whisky and the food was great along with the great staff. Will go back again

We kwamen redelijk laat binnen en de gastheer ging aan zijn vrouw in de keuken vragen of we nog konden eten. Gelukkig wel, want we hebben genoten, dit mag je niet missen! Eerst een ontvangst in de achterkamer met een knapperig houtvuur, gezeten op Chesterfield met 1 van de 300 whisky's, dan het menu uitzoeken met alleen verse ingredienten en dan wordt je meegenomen naar de knus ingerichte voorkamer, waar je zeer vriendelijk bedient wordt. Alles vers klaargemaakt, verse groenten met een lichte bite, vlees precies alsof ze voelen hoe je het wilt hebben. Daarnaast een uitstekende wijnkaart. Nogmaals, als je in Dufftown bent en je bent een genieter van heerlijk eten: Tannochbrae restaurant

Very different concept to most restaurants. Alan, who manages the actual B&B attached also looks after the bar so while you are waiting for your table and first course you can go into the very well stocked bar and try a new or relax with a favourite spirit. We were there for the whisky festival so this was another great opportunity for us to try something new!Food was just lovely too, great personal attention throughout your evening and you can definitely tell the food has been cooked with a passion. Out of 5 nights in Scotland, this was our favourite night out - would recommend again and again!

Hier stimmt der Spruch "klein aber fein!" Das Tannochbrae hat zwar nur 4 Tische (unbedingt vorbestellen!) aber das Essen ist ausgezeichnet und die Preise noch im Rahmen. Die Hausbar ist mit unzähligen Whiskysorten ausgestattet und läßt Genießerherzen höher schlagen.
