    We saw the Mountain Cafe mentioned in our travel book (Fodor's Travel Scotland, 2016), which said…read morethat it's "famed locally" and won a national award in 2014, so we had huge expectations and WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! First: we had to wait 15 minutes, but were given a buzzer for when our table was ready--per the hostess, we were able to go as far as the grocery store in town. We didn't mind the wait, as it gave us time to pop into the tourist shop and buy postcards and stamps. The wait was worth it! I had a coffee, one of the best coffees I've ever had, and we sat enjoying the view of the mountains and the view of the pastries, piled in tantalizing piles on the far end of the shop. We each had a roll, mine w fried egg, bacon, and hash brown; hubby the same with sausage instead of bacon. The food was hot, fresh, and the ingredients locally sourced, and tasted so damn good. Every dish that made its way to neighboring tables looked ridiculously good too, and I kept saying I want to try that, and that, and that!! On our way out we bought a chocolate raspberry brownie and a macadamia bar, both items are rich and flavorful, and large enough that hubby and I have been enjoying them all day!! I seldom visit the same restaurant twice while on vacation, but while eating we both agreed that we're going back tomorrow for another amazing meal (and more pastries, I hope!!) before we had out of lovely Aviemore!

    WOW (is this a way to start a review, not sure but) Wow…read more This may be one of the best places I've eaten in Scotland, no joke... and there's some great food in this country. My wife and I came here after an exhausting weekend away with teenagers... we were a bit sceptic as to whether or not there was decent food in Aviemore. Don't get me wrong, we figured we would find some ok food, but didn't expect it to be this good. We were told that we would need to get there as early as possible because of the wait... and we were like, this is an outdoor shop's cafe, it couldn't be that good. Well it is THAT good. As I said, you will more than likely have to wait (got this advice from a local)... and you could end up waiting for at least half an hour as we did. We finally got seated and were impressed with the menu thinking that the food couldn't be as good as it seems on the menu. But it was THAT good. I had a red bean burger (if I'm correct) that was SOOO tasty. They make the burgers here (not frozen like veggie burgers at other places). It may have easily been one of the best veggie burgers I've had in Scotland. It came with chips, which I wish I could've had more of but wouldn't have had the room for. To top it off, I had a pot of Eteaket tea with Red Velvet cake. So... a lot of places in Scotland try to do a great Red Velvet cake and end up with an OK red velvet cake. Mountain Cafe did an excellent red velvet. Both moist and dense. Sweet and SOOO filling. In the end, my wife had to roll me out the door and down the stair sideways. I was super full with excellent food. It may have cost a bit more than I would've normally paid for lunch, drink and a cake... but seriously I didn't care. Why isn't Aviemore closer?

    LOVE Must-Dash! Not only is it super cute with its mustache…read moretheme, but its waffles are DELICIOUS! its only £ 3 for a waffle with ALL the toppings you want! Fresh fruit, nutella, chocolate, marsh mellows, and squishie cream! DELICIOUS the women that run the place are SO nice! We love going there! and if you want to share a waffle ( i can never eat a whole one!) they cut it half for you and let you chose different toppings for each half ! Best deal around for yummy treats! They have some warm wraps and stuff too but I have yet to try them , some of our friends say they are good though!

    Must-dash has so much that's right about it. We discovered this place almost by accident as it's…read morejust down the street from the cinema. As far as I know, this is the only place in town that serves takeaway dessert waffles. They're really good. They're only £3 and you can get as many or as little toppings as you like. I tend to lean towards getting nutella with strawberries and maybe chocolate sauce. But they have multiple choices of fresh fruit and sweeties to go on top. I also had the chance to try out the chicken sandwich, which is arguably the best takeaway sandwich in town. It's real chicken breast with sauces and salad. I wasn't a huge fan of whatever cheese they used on top, but that may be a personal preference. There are a few seats inside and a bench outside, so if you mustn't dash, then you're in luck.
