The best restaurants in Elgin City South Moray Highlands and Islands

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.)

Zaika is the best Indian takeaway in Elgin without a doubt. It’s a small family owned takeaway and everything is cooked fresh. I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience here. My favourite is the Chicken Tikka Masaladar, it’s very spicy with a kick but also has a sweet tang to it. Highly recommend this. I have tried most of the speciality dishes and they are just equally as good.

By far the best coffee shop in town. Fantastic staff and their coffee is absolutely second to none! 10/10

Best lunch I’ve eating in Elgin and very affordable

Food was delicious, Michelle is chef is amazing at her job

The Bearded Chef catered our Wedding in September and the food was fantastic! Aaron and Kayleigh were both absolutely amazing and we can't thank them enough. The menu was tailored to us with new dishes and a personalised wedding cocktail as the welcome drink. The canapés were great but the main meal really stole the show. Melon with sorbet, smoked salmon and lentil soup were our choice of starters. Followed by haggis sagaloo pie, chicken stuffed with chorizo mousse with paprika sauce, fondant potatoes & veg medley and sweet potato cakes as the 3rd option. For dessert we had a trio so everybody could have a bit of everything. Highly recommend Bearded chef and would definitely use them again in future.

Best Indian meal ever. Always beautiful and the Naan breads are second to none. (cheese and garlic) worth every penny and the owner is always just lovely. 🥰. can’t wait to order again soon thank you Zaika

A lovely little tea ship that has an old fashioned feel. Real china cups and lovely setting. Simple but lovely good for with great scones and bakes. A little tight if you have a push chair or wheel chair but the staff are really helpful.

Lovely attention. Good and affordable wines. Excellent venison

Food quality has gone down from what it used to be and the Five pound “Luxury chocolate cake” is now the same cheap two pound cake from other takeaways not the great one they used to have what a joke won’t be ordering again

Nice quiet place for a pint. The fire was lit which added to the atmosphere. Music was always on (no juke box, just music piped through by the bar staff). Good pool table too.

Last minute decision to eat here and it was a good one. Lovely staff and good food.

Was in past for a nice quiet meal. Service was excellent. The food was fantastic and large portions. Highly recommend.

I couldn’t fault this place at all. We were up from Glasgow for a flying visit and popped in on a Saturday night. Probably the best curry I’ve had in the North East.

Good food good service keep up the good work. Also good kids menu for the ones that don't like curry yet. Able to accommodate large families
