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!

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

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

Excellent food, timely service and great atmosphere. What more could we ask for, especially just at the start of the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival 2025.

Decided to eat in while we were on holiday in Dufftown abs lots of other people had recommended. I had mixed Tandoori grill - beautifully fresh & generous! Husband had chicken madras with rice & naan - all very good. Lovely staff & good value too …. there’s only 2 takeaways in town but these guys are not complacent & delivered top food

We stopped for lunch. Inside v convivial and outside were several patio tables. Food was very good and prepared with care. I would say outclassed much pub food we have eaten over the years. Definitely worth a stop. We reached there after a lovely walk along the Spey Way from Aberlour. Whisky selection extensive and the friendly team’s advice for us novice whisky drinkers was invaluable. This is in the heart of Speyside distilleries so breathe in the atmosphere.

Amazing food and amazing service. They really go the extra mile if an issue comes up.

Popped in here today looking for a hot brunch and wow what a feast. The food was amazing and the staff were great can’t compliment them enough. Amazing

New management as Spey inn, Wow, just Sooo good ! We visited hesitantly upon previous Copper Dogg reviews read. But upon arrival we felt a charming and warm welcome greeted us by the romantic candle lit setting followed by courteous and the tastefully accomodating service given.. Whisky cured smoked trout with Salmon Caviar accompanied by haggis bon bons and bourbon glaze, not forgetting the subtle dressing of the traditional steak tartar. A culinary treat was unexpectedly spruced before us. From starters and throughout mains and deserts the experience excelled itself with accompanying wine and menu suggestions. Goat pie, burgers and Ribeye steak were all very good and we strongly recommend anyone considering to partake the Speyside Inn on their offerings, that you should. A wonderful evening was had. We shall see you next time we visit. Staff were great and a big thankyou to Oscar for looking after us Until next time !

Although initially very helpful re allergies, offering to accommodate my diet. We then discovered my ‘mashed potatoes’ were going to take much longer than other meals ordered. The service appeared haphazard, we were the only ones in the restaurant & we bent over backwards to accommodate them. The food was average & took quite some time to arrive. Won’t be going back. A generous 3/5

We stopped here on the way back from a night in Aviemore. Food was delicious, I had a coronation chicken panini and chips and my wife had the scotch broth. Staff were very friendly and atmosphere cosy. Reasonable price unlike other cafes in the area. Would return.

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

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

Been here a few times. Lovely breaded haddock and great chips but why oh why have a king rib pre cooked in the display cabinet and then put it in the microwave and it's like mush especially when l am waiting for a breaded haddock. Really poor and really doesn't make sense Still three stars as everything else great and staff too. I only order things now that are cooked fresh and not on display but would definitely recommend on that basis

Been coming here for well over 14 years..never had a bad meal or experience. Food portions are a good size and at a reasonable price. My go to takeaway in Dufftown area.
