The best restaurants in Heldon and Laich Moray Highlands and Islands

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 .

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

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.

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

Amazing sweet shop just 2 minute walk from the bridge at East Beach. Great selection of sweets. Slush and ice cream Machine too. Her tablet is second to none. She does sweetie cones for kids party favours too and very reasonably priced. Always goes above and beyond for her customers. Definitely a must visit in Lossie.

We went here to get some food for a beach picnic and this lovely local sandwich bar did not disappoint! They had a nice selection of bread/rolls to choose from as well as an array of freshly prepared fillings. They have homemade soups and homebaking available too. Sausage rolls are to die for - so you need to try them! All very reasonably priced too. Oh and if you like your fish - they have a fresh fish counter too!

We visited Seasonal Flavour when they were at the Braemar Gathering. I enjoyed a fantastic Highland Venison Burrito. One of the few times I've had venison. And a Crispy Buttermilk Wild Pheasant Sandwich with fries. My husband loved it, my kids loved it. Great meal!

We loved our visit to the Coffee Cart after a riverside walk. Run by a lovely, chatty lady from Lossie, the coffee was delicious. We didn't eat cake, but they looked delicious. Highly recommend.

Great food, service and staff as always 👌

Great service. Food was amazing g. Will definitely be back.

Popped into The Bothy for morning coffee and a scone with a friend. Alas no scones - plenty of sweet cakes which we did not really fancy in the morning. So I asked if we could please have toast but the waitress didn't think so. I asked if she would mind asking in the kitchen which she did and she came back and said no sorry you can't have toast.I should have known because we had heard the gentleman next to us ask if he could have a roll with bacon and Lorne sausage together. The waitress said they did not like to deviate from the menu. On the menu there was a bacon roll and there was a Lorne sausage roll but they could not put that into one roll . Surely you try to please your customers if you want them to come back. I know my friend and I will not be rushing back.

Had a lovely meal here today, great food, phenomenal service and a lovely atmosphere, It's the kind of place you could sit down in and stay all day, the icing on the cake was the live music, i only wish we could have stayed all afternoon.

Great place si warm and friendly . We joined a large group for a celebratory brunch. The food was fabulous and served very quickly considering we were a large group. My BLT sandwich was delicious. Lovely views. Not expensive either.

This is a lovely restaurant, just reopened with a new chef. Excellent service, couldn't have done more for us. The food was great, best curry we've had for a long time. I went with my husband and son and we all enjoyed our meal.

Fantastic Fish Supper and potato fritters with very cheerful and quick service. Would definitely recommend. Will return
