The best restaurants in Badenoch and Strathspey Highland Highlands and Islands

Great location and plenty of activities for all ages. Good choice of restaurants and bars throughout the resort. Breakfast was included with our stay and had all the staple Scottish breakfast items, as well as GF options and fresh fruit. Rooms are due an update as there is some damage and age related wear and tear. No smart TV or fridge which was a bit disappointing with it being a 4-star hotel. Staff were friendly enough however a few times drinks and food on the menu were unavailable on request, staff seemed stressed and maybe under too much pressure at busy times. Overall a great family friendly hotel with lots of things to do in a fantastic location which can be easily accessed by public transport. Other than a few minor issues we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return in the future!

We were freezing, and nipped in for some food and drinks before our train back. The staff are lovely, very welcoming and friendly and the food was very tasty. I got the haggis, neeps and tatties and my boyfriend got the venison stew, both were delicious.

The service was good and the coffee was great. Free parking.

Delicious Italian food, with super quality service! A fine dining experience at MacDonald resort!

We had an unfortunate experience at this establishment. We were hoping to enjoy a nice lunch, but there were no staff available to assist us. After waiting for 15 minutes without being offered even a drink, we decided it was best to leave.

We went here on a Thursday early evening. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was good. Very well laid out and clean buffet area with mostly Chinese food which is what we were looking for. The standard was as good as any other buffet I’ve had. Great view of the Cairngorms from our table too.

Despite having a booking, the place was completely closed and no effort had been made to contact me or any of the other people who had turned up. Phone went directly to voicemail. No response to email. Disappointed.

The food here tastes nothing like Indian food. Somehow the butter paneer was… sweet? First time I’ve had sweet Indian food, the naan tasted nothing like how it’s supposed to taste. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place, the negative reviews tell the truth.

Fantastic food and service Suspect the buffet breakfast is bring down the scores of a brilliant evening restaurant which appears at the same venue in the evening Seriously lovely food, nouvelle cuisine portion sizes but seriously food prep; taste; and quality Extremely impressed by a in-house hotel restaurant being this good

We all had Sunday lunch (£22), service was good and waitress was friendly. However the Roast dinner was lukewarm, the beef was far from tender and the Yorkshire pud was clearly reheated and very greasy. The bar wasn’t able to provide many of the beers/lagers on tap. Altogether a very disappointing visit. We were here last year and I still remember The Venison I had. Clearly new management/chef. Definitely give it a miss.

Pizza was good , partners pasta was very bland , staff are very friendly the restaurant has no Italian feel to it’s very bright and really basic decor ( more of a canteen feel )

Very dirty environment. Food served by an unclean looking man. Not very friendly and over priced. No menu available, no prices on show, cash only.

We visited this place to have a drink or 2. Kingussie does not have any pub really, Chillies is associated to a hotel in the area so the staff gives priority to hotel guests, not us visitors and nothing is wrong with this, priorities are in place I guess.

I didn’t eat, because I arrived after hours, but dropped in to see what the place was like. It was a quirky but quaint little place, with some wonderful old photographs on the walls. The owner was thoroughly engaging and was happy to give up her time to chat. I wish I had time to stay for longer. Next time though, for sure…

the food was nothing to be honest, the burgers were very dry and not tasty for this price, as if they were kept and served not fresh, next time I’d prefer to take my food with me,No recommended at all
