    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?

    The Keiller Brasserie & Lounge - The best fish and chips you'll have in Scotland

    A classy restaurant within the Cairgendarroh suites, one of the nicer hotels in the area. So the…read morebar is already set high. And it sure lived up to my expectations! Decor was modern and classy in the brasserie, while upscale and relaxed in the lounge. Both areas uses the same kitchen but have slightly different menus. We dined in both areas a few times during our stay. Brasserie is perfect for a special night. Servers were used interchangeably between both restaurants and were profesional and accommodating. Everything was made with care and with local ingredients. So the flavors were outstanding. Must order dishes are: Fish and chips ($18) - huge flakey piece of haddock perfectly fried to perfection with a light exterior crunch. We had a lot (10+ spots) of fish and chips around Scotland. And without a doubt this was the best. Usually fried items make me feel a bit heavy, but this was not the case here. Served with homemade tartar sauce, chippys and peas. Solid side dishes, but the star was the fish. The fish and chips is worth a trip of its own. Seared sea bass ($20) - a decent sized fillet with couscous and broccolini. The restaurant knows how to cook fish. And it really shows in this dish. Accompaniments were solid too. Especially the couscous. Carrot cake ($3.50) - moist, fluffy, carroty, with lots of walnuts scattered throughout, and a huge pile of cream cheese frosting. Not too sweet lol most English desserts. Gingerbread pudding ($8) - warm yet moist cake with strong gingery undertones. Every component was well executed and works so well together. The warm cake with the house made vanilla ice cream all topped with their rum toffee sauce. I'm dreaming about the day I come back for this. if u could get anything here, this dish would be the one to get!

I got a Latte made with Oak Milk and my partner got a coffee both large. They were great. Then We had the Eggs Hollandaise with spinach and the Morning Boost Granola over thick Greek yogurt. We shared and botwere delicious.
