The best restaurants in Moray Highlands and Islands

Where do I start? From the minute of booking and yes you do have to prebook ( they don't do walk ins), to the moment you leave, the whole experience is personal and first class. Knocking on the door may seem strange but from that moment on Rose knows your name and is the perfect host. Embrace the atmosphere of the restaurant it's one sitting and your meal is also prebooked. You are never rushed and encouraged to take your time. The food is what you pay for, Quality and lovingly cooked by Patrick (chef/owner) who comes to see everyone after their meals and spends time talking to you about you, and your meal, afterwards you can stay at the table or retire to the lounge area which we did for cocktails. I've never experienced such warmth, fantastic food and yet intimacy in one hit but I'll definitely go again Starter: Goats cheese salad Main: venison lasagne Desert: scottish tiramsu Bill: no suprises as prebooked plus whatever drinks you order.

Absolutely the best fish and chips in this area. Ig is a real treat and the service is always very friendly and professional.

We went to Catch79 last night with our friend for a meal, as she has eaten here on a number of occasions. This however was our first time to this restaurant, on entry you could see that it was busy and had a more upmarket feel to it. My friend had the lobster mac and cheese with salad , my wife had the halibut steak in a sauce and I had their version of surf and turf. Prior to our main courses arriving we all received a muse bush which was a small glass of seafood type soup can’t remember exactly what was in it unfortunately. Our main dishes on arrival were very well presented and very tasty, the restaurant isn’t cheap by any means but the quality of food is excellent with the freshest of seafood being the order of the day. To finish of our meal my wife and I had the mini mince pie ice cream sundae , and our friend had the Lemon tart with a coconut sour cream .

Drove from an hour away on a sightseeing day only to have owners say there is no restaurant here. So then had to drive back the other way to go to our second choice restaurant.

Don’t really want to shout about this because we always want to get a table but it’s only fair to share. Best Thai meal we have had. Cracking satay. Fish curry was spectacular. Imaginative cocktails. Inventive deserts. Amazing welcome- lovely hosts and chef.

I cannot thank Stephen enough as he has gone above throughout this whole lockdown in helping me get presents to my parents. The Deli deserves recognition for all their hard work that they have provided .

The best place to eat in Elgin. Everything is fresh and delicious, soups, wraps, bagels and daily specials. One word of advice when you do visit, ALWAYS leave room for the cake! ( or get it to take away, you won’t regret it.)

We were a bit disappointed this trip. The veg curry with the biryani was tasteless but sweet The special garlic curry was also tasteless and sweet and very coloured red with artificial food colouring They don’t seem to blend their sauces, everything had huge chunks of onions The naga mirchi is good, and HOT But everything else we tried was disappointing Rice is expensive

A great takeaway with lots to choose from. Their favourite phrase is “ 10 minutes” and that’s all it takes unless you go at peak times. Staff are reliable and aim to please. They all work hard here. The food is hot and delicious and portions are generous , try the prawn toasts which are massive.

CL&B provide a good selection of coffee and a prompt delivery service. The website is user friendly and easy to order from. The retail price of their coffee is good value. Regular customer

Lovely friendly cafe offering a good variety of sandwiches, paninis, coffee, drinks and cake. Nice views of valley and golf course. Seating inside and out. I had a nut butter beetroot carrot panini, my partner had local ham and cheese sandwich. Both came with fresh salad. Parking area. Glad we spotted this by chance!

Lovely light lunch with really friendly staff. The food was great ans I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and will be back.

Just popped in for a Feta Salad. They accidentally put avocado in it, but asked if that was OK before serving it. It was more than OK - it was delicious - took the slight edge off the feta. Very tasty.

Even if not doing any biking you can still go and eat here. Great food brought to you by the Nethy Bridge team. Eat in or outside.

Great ice cream at Rizza Ice Cream Shop. Flavors I haven't even had in Italy. Pink grapefruit and blood orange are worth trying.
