The best restaurants in Speyside Glenlivet Moray Highlands and Islands

I bought lunch here today and really wish I hadn’t bothered, the soup was supposed to be cream of mushroom but was anything but creamy. It was this with really large pieces of mushroom which were difficult to eat with a spoon. The cheese scone was a strange colour and had a really weird taste. It used to be a great place to eat but was sold recently and is to be avoided. I will not return!

popped in here for a quick drink ,owner was welcoming and engaging and it is a proper local bar , thanks to the owner for his hospitaity

This place was owned by my grandma Helen never knew what happened to it she owned most of the land also beautiful place

Gréât place to stop for proper coffee (the best in Speyside), snacks, and it’s right next to parking and a secure playground for the kids.

Spartan atmosphere. Food and drinks were good. Service quick and polite.

Great food superb portions top notch

As someone one else has pointed out, it’s now called the Spey Inn. Was there earlier this week for lunch as in area and parents recommended it from a visit a year or so ago. It was quiet but we got a friendly welcome from the two members of staff. My parents commented on the size of the menu which has apparently changed and did seemed limited in choices. 3 of us ordered the Cullen Skink soup. It tasted fine but not much fish ands lots of potatoes. Three of us then had sandwiches, the Club sandwich was very good, well filled with bacon, tomato etc and was tasty. Me and my mum both had the egg mayonnaise sandwich. It looked different in that it was 2 whole slices of toast which I thought may have been included in the description. That said I can live with this, however what was very unusual and disappointing was the quantity of filling in these two sandwiches. It appeared that there was a smear of egg mayo as in the quantity of butter you would spread on a slice of bread (and in this case it was spread onto 2 slices of thick toast). Without exaggerating it appeared that 1 egg had been used to fill 2 sandwiches . The salad that accompanied it was nice and the fish and chips the other member of our group had was apparently good. We did mention it to the server who said he’d mention our views to the chef, but it just seemed odd. We also mentioned to a member of staff at an early stage of our visit, that there was no soap in the gents toilets (you could clearly see the soap dispenser was empty when you walked in), however when leaving some time later this had not been rectified, despite the fact the restaurant was not busy. It wasn’t a cheap lunch and it was fairly disappointing overall. Unless this was a one off, don’t think I would return.

Awesome place with a gigantic choice of scotch whisky as well as a large collection of japanese whisky. This combined with a absolutley cozy atmosphere, delicious food and very very friendly staff makes it a fabulous place to spend the evening. I had the classic haggis balls as a starter, the fish&chips as main and toffee cake as a dessert. Everything was just outstanding. It was so good, we will pay it another visit tonight.

Description on website is totally different to the experience we had. The manager was not in residence, there was no proper cook/chef so there was no food being served, not to speak I'll of Donnie who was left in charge as he was so helpful and friendly but the breakfast he cooked was inedible. Room not up to much shower had absolutely no pressure was just a trickle. We booked in for 4 days left after 2. If manager knew this was going to be how our stay was going to be he should have cancelled as we expected a bed and breakfast that served food this was just a pub with rooms. I would never recommend this place to anyone

Love this place. Authentic little chip shop. Lommy and the girls are always friendly and provide service with a smile. We get a white pudding supper and battered fish. Portions are generous and fish always fresh and crisp. I tried a battered Mars bar this time and although it wasn't on the menu, Lommy was happy to make one for me and wowsers it was good. Not sickly as I thought it may be. Perfect gooey goodness w a light crisp batter. I went in for a second the next day!!

Le breakfast était parfait et la gérante était très gentille et bienveillante. Un très bon moment. Je conseille cet endroit si vous devez vous arrêter dans cette belle petite ville

Lovely welcoming wee cafe. We were looking for lunch when we arrived in Aberlour and came across this lovely cafe. The food was lovely. We had our dog with us and all the staff were so amazing to her. We were in 3 times in our weekend stay and each time our dog was given treats and made a fuss of which is a big thing for us as we felt very welcome there.

Tried this chipy a few times since reopened after COVID. Cracking fish and chips. Very friendly with a smile service and good crispy chips.

An amazing hotel in an amazing location We were greeted by some lovely staff and the lady leisha. Smiles all around. We were shown to our room which was immaculate. We had our little terrier stay with us which was really appreciated and well accommodated for. Leisha gave us plenty of information on the surroundings and where it would be nice to take our dog for a walk. Her reviews on the walks were spot on. We met some lovely locals who were all very friendly and welcoming. We had dinner and breakfast in the hotel restaurant and it was fantastic. We thank you so much for our lovely stay at your hotel and look forwarding to coming back again Many thanks

We were on a Highlands day tour and stopped for break. My wife and I had fresh baked scones and tea and it was lovely. The owners were welcoming, the place was comfortable, the scones delicious and the tea was proper hot. There's a back patio and the weather was nice so we sat outside to enjoy. Recommended!
