The best restaurants in Heldon and Laich Moray Highlands and Islands

Tucked away on a road in the middle of nowhere really this understated restaurant does a mean Indian. Although the decor and toilets could do with a bit of love and attention the food here was amazing. Fresh tasting, well prepared dishes and lots of trade for both eat in and takeaway meals. Quite possibly one of the best Indian meals we have had for a while. If ever your this far North, it is well worth a visit.

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.

I popped in to this wee shop to grab some sweets to take home and the owner arrived with trays of freshly made tablet. I decided to get 2 bags which was for me & 1 for my dad. Once I'd popped the 1st square of tablet in my mouth I was in heaven. I've had probably hundreds of different peoples tablet over the years but nothing like what I got at Frances's sweet treat and creations. Needless to say that day my dad didn't get his bag of tablet as I'd eaten both bags in the 6 miles it took my husband to drive home. There's lots of fantastic sweeties there, ones that take me back to my childhood and very reasonable prices. I urge you if you've not visited then get down there you'll not be disappointed unless I've been in before you and bought all the tablet.

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.

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 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!

The occaision was my Aunt's 90th Birthday and 3 members of her family and their partners, belatedly gathered in her hometown of Lossiemouth as were unable to attend the actual Birthday in January. We read reviews and preferring a small local restaurant, and wanting to treat her to something really special, Willi and his team did not disappoint! From making the booking, all queries were answered promptly and suggestions made in a very helpful way ensuring that our Aunt had the very best time. The place itself was very smart with a wood burner and comfortable chairs, local artwork on the walls and excellent friendly staff who are well informed with regard to the food and what the chef can do if an alternative is needed from the menu. The food itself was sublime, beautiful fresh fish imaginatively presented with interesting flavours Willi really knows how to pair ingredients to make something spectacular. Great wine excellent food, the place was doing an absolutely roaring trade on a Thursday, every tabke was taken, do yoursrlf a favour and come here!

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

Delicious! Lovely to walk along the beautiful beach with an ice cream in hand. There was a queue but it went down quickly. There are potentially too many flavours but we just used that as an excuse to have to visit more than once!

Lovely bustling cafe by the harbour, which always has a good selection of simple fish dishes for brunch and lunch. Burgers and steaks are also available. The food is very good and the service superb. We always come for lunch when we're in Lossiemouth.

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

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.

An okay cafe. Although, since it has come under new management it doesn’t seem to have the same ambience. The menu is very limited. Weirdly for this day and age there is no vegan or vegetarian breakfast option. They will cut out the meat if you ask but I cannot understand why they can’t add this option to the menu. Despite mentioning this on several occasions this has never been taken on board. I think it is the exact same menu they put in place a year or so ago when they took over.

Great little cafe. It is very busy, so may need to book or wait. Great selection of food and staff friendly. Plan to go back!

Went last night and ordered large haddock supper single scampi two chips cheese curry sauce. Also a pickled onion. Waiting in queue the portions of food looked great getting boxed up for customers. Number 26 was called and we happily headed off to enjoy. Disaster! One not very large Haddock Supper! NO Scampi...another small single fish? NO pickled onion but a gherkin! Where did you guys get it wrong? Did you not understand Scottish? Or is it just another case of ripping off the tourist?
