What a lovely place. We visited for lunch and were bowled over by the food. It was delicious. A wood burner and local art helped create a welcoming atmosphere and the owners and staff couldn’t have been friendlier. We’ll definitely be back.

Clean, healthy food that was immaculately prepared. A varied choice of dishes without being overwhelming. A charming and rustic feel with exceptional service - I visited this place only once and already want to go back. While in a somewhat remote location (in the context of the UK); this place has to be experienced.

We stopped by the High Street Merchants because we needed a cup of coffee over the New Year's and nothing was open. The High Street Merchants was, and it was a good thing too. You walk into the shop and you're surrounded by stones being sold, all with (apparently) deep connections to nature and people's emotional state. If that sort of New Age style thing isn't your cup of tea, that's cool - the food is king here. And the selection of food is modern (Buddha bowls) and healthy whilst not skipping on nutrition. I had a lamb Buddha Bowl which was reasonably priced for what it was - I couldn't finish it because it was so packed! They have an amazing selection of desserts and drinks. I absolutely adored the lazy New Year's Eve afternoon there, and to top it off, the staff were great! Highly recommended.

Enjoyed HIgh St. Merchants twice during our short stay in Grantown. First for lunch (delicious Buddha bowls with generous portions) and second for coffee and cake (very tasty spiced apple and pear loaf, yum!). Service was professional and friendly (a tricky balance to strike) and we felt immediately welcome. Loved the artwork, also available for purchase. Highly recommend!

13th October, my daughter mentioned she had a nut allergy, at this the man went off one, raising his voice, saying he could go to prison if any thing happened, she always carries an epipen, she only wanted a bowl of soup!! Also obviously not spending enough money? Basically thrown out, they had lunch in a very nice hotel down the road. So much for a warm Scottish welcome.

We visited as a family, the lady who found us a table was very kind, considerate and helpful. The menu was largely vegan/vegetarian which doesn’t really suit our taste. However, the quality was good and it was very nicely served. The chef reluctantly removed some of the items from one of the orders to please one of our group, this was not reflected in the price. The cakes were delicious, the service was excellent.

We were so impressed with our visit for morning coffee that we booked a late lunch in place of dinner as the premises were not open that evening. The pasta with cray fish was outstanding, absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. All the staff we met were very welcoming and Covid precautions all taken very seriously yet with a lightness of touch, which was reassuring. A word of praise for Lucas is merited: not only was he very courteous and helpful to us, we saw him deal brilliantly with elderly customers with whom he is obviously deservedly popular! Enormous Canadian charm.

What a lovely place. Yeah… but why? Well, let me be clear: I’m not a vegan and I initially thought this was a happy-clappy alter to the god of lettuce-and-chickpeas. Not a bit of it!I was rather tired, by now, of the albeit decent pub-grub available in most local alternatives and while I initially had misgivings, the fact that this was Tripadvisor’s no.1 in Grantown surely stood for something. So that was decided then; in I went. If you’re a vegan, have the Buddha bowl. If your not, have the Buddha bowl with harissa lamb on top. So refreshing, so different, a great portion of flavour and texture, served up with charm and good humour. This was the best meal of my week-long trip in Aberdeenshire and Morray but far. The local beer is very reasonable and the lovely waitress offered me a taste of each without me asking. The IPA was better then the blonde alternative but either are worth drinking. Finally, the single loo was spotlessly clean. Not perhaps the most-mentioned observation but important to me, so I will. Highly recommended: a lovely experience overall.

Our last evening before returning home after a week in this beautiful part of the country. This is the fourth meal eaten out and for two out of the four adults was by far the best. The other two were on the fence and decided it was a draw to first position with another restaurant in another town. The menu I felt was minimal but considering there were big meat eaters, a vegetarian and a child, there was enough choice for us all. The meals were lovely. Two burgers, one halloumi burger and the hot dog, along with the child’s pizza. All really lovely and tasty. We couldn’t fault our meals but even better.... I think anyone would be hard pressed to find friendlier staff. My three year old grandson would normally shy away from speaking to staff but the lovely lady made a point of making us all so welcome on arrival that he put his own order in directly to her. Thank you for making us feel welcome, for the lovely food and the delightful setting. We will be back when next in the area

Food tastes are so subjective and dependent on mood and circumstance but for me the High Street Merchant never fails to deliver. Even on a randomly timed visit that's neither elevenses nor lunch, and not sure what I fancy - soup, a main course, or coffee and cake - I pretty much manage to choose exactly what I need in the moment and enjoy a seat that suits my mood. On my last visit, the soft sofas near the serving area provided a perfect corner to 'hunker down' and enjoy warming soup with a cheese scone, followed by a chai latte with a single shot of coffee. Much that the cakes are so tempting, I had already sated my small appetite on the day - so I'll need to look forward to another visit to have a yummy muffin or ample slice of Victoria sponge! The restaurant was busy and I would have happily shared the sofas but there was no need, and no sense of being rushed to leave by the staff.The staff are all friendly, efficient, smiley (that makes a lot of difference for me!). Thank you for being on my list of favourite eateries!

Im pretty sure the waitress got our cooking preferences mixed up for one. Chips were from the frozen variety or seemed so. Garnish was wilted and paltry. Steak was steak.

The lunch was lovely, the staff were great, and there were rocks to purchase in the front-of-house shop, which many might regard as an added plus.

Visited on 2 occasions in April. Once with hubby and once with a friend. Lovely being able to sit in the courtyard and enjoy the sun and bring the dog in. Staff are exceptionally friendly and nice. Food is fresh and interesting. Enjoyed the Buddah bowls and the risotto. With both you can taste the freshness of ingredients. Lovely atmosphere and surroundings.

We arrived here just as they were shutting for the evening. However, we were welcomed in which was much appreciated as we were tired and wet having walked part of the Speyside Way. The tea, coffee and cakes were all excellent and matched the quality of the customer service. We will be going back!

This modest, slightly bohemian in atmosphere houses some yummies. The staff kindly served me with some delicious lentil soup even though lunchtime was over. And the sweets case looked marvelous too!

Needing a lunch stop we found both soup and bagels delicious. The staff were so friendly and helpful we felt really welcome. We'll be back next time we visit Scotland.

We have spent time on holiday and passing through Grantown-on-Spey several times. We always fit in a lunch visit here and it always meets our expectations. Lovely tasty food that has a bit of individuality. Owners clearly make an effort to keep their standard high. If in the area well worth a visit and sit outside if the weather permits!

Popped in for coffee and snack, saw the range of homemade cakes and couldn't resist. All food mad on site. The Victoria sponge was superb as was the raspberry and white chocolate muffin. Coffee also very good. Lovely setting and very pleasant staff. Well worth a visit.

Visited during a very difficult time (family bereavement). Ellie, Al and Team were always kind and sympathetic to our needs. On a brighter note the coffee, scones, home bakes and food was fantastic.

High Street Merchants have a cosy interior and breathe an arty, somewhat alternative atmosphere.

We stopped in recently with little time to wait. The staff were very efficient and helpful with getting us on the road again in time. This didn’t impact the quality of the food, which we all enjoyed. A lovely lunch and excellent service.

Popped in and felt very welcomed. Cakes all good and the ones we tried were excellent. We sat by the fire which was lovely, though initially a bit on the hot side. Great atmosphere.

Tasry, healthy food for lunch. I will come here again and again. Love the the art on the walls too. If only there was somewhere to safely stash my bicycle I would come here every week.

It's difficult to rate a cafe at 10h00 on a cold Thursday morning in February but after a dog walk in the dunes and waiting for a car repair we found just the place to satisfy all our requirements: a friendly welcome in pleasing surroundings, a breakfast choice extraordinary for the region and date and food which exceeded expectations. We had cappuccinos plus bacon and egg sandwiches: great eggs (2) cooked to perfection, proper bacon rashers and thick cut multiseed bread. Puts to shame the limited offerings elsewhere: we will return
