For lunch 6 of the 7 us ordered mushroom soup and venison pie. Best lunch we have on our holiday aka our vacation. The service was also incredible. The chef and hostess were delightful.

We did the two course (details below) and it was delicious with plenary of food for us to be comfortably full. The service and atmosphere were great. We were greeted and seated as we arrived. We made reservations and had a window table over looking the patio with a candle lantern in the window. Restaurants are busy on weekends so reservations are suggested. Parking is limited and we weee able to parallel park around the corner from the restaurant. For our 1st course starter we did the Pig Cheek and Grilled Goat's Cheese. Both were delicious but for me the Pig Cheek was so tender and delicious it is a favorite. For our second course we had the Pork Medallions with mashed potatoes and the Lamb Rump with fries. Both were superb. We really enjoyed the meal!

It was incredibly busy, which speaks to its popularity, but the atmosphere was electric. We managed to snag a spot on the good patio, which is a great place to people-watch and enjoy a dram or a pint when the weather cooperates. The major highlight of the evening was the great live music. It really elevates the experience and makes MacGregor's feel like a true Highland pub. They boast an excellent selection of local beers and ciders, making it easy to sample some fantastic regional beverages. For food, I tried the chicken sandwich, and it was good--satisfying and well-made, hitting the spot perfectly for a pub meal.

Whisky Galore Oh…read moreboy, if you know your Scottish Cities and their Pubs then you will know what I mean when I say the Grill is to Aberdeen what that Horseshoe is to Glasgow and The Guildford (Or Café Royal, or Bow Bar) is to Edinburgh. And for those of you who don't know your Scottish Cities and their Pubs, allow me to clarify - It's ICONIC!! So, things you need to know, firstly they are rumoured to have the largest Whisky selection in Scotland (RUMOURED). I mean it is ridiculous, I'm sure if a fire started here it would blow up half of Union Street and said explosion could be seen from the Moon. So if you like your Whisky then this is a must visit pub. Secondly, this pub is older than you will ever be, My dad drank here when he was 5, and now he is 80, and people drank there before he was born. It's so old that they had to install ladies toilets a while back as there weren't any - and ladies are allowed to drink alongside men these days! Lastly, it might look like a dump outside, but don't mistake dump for character. This has more character than Monty Python. The floor clearly used to be strewn with sawdust back in the days, and some of the staff have seen more than their fair share of breakfasts - but that all adds to the experience. The experience here is guaranteed to be memorable for all the right reasons!

It is bloody long. The bar is also bloody long. By the way, it is pub and not a Grill. They decided to turn it from a restaurant to a pub around 1900 and never got around to changing the name. Let us get down to the essentials. This is about whisky and pilgrims and Scotland and finding places with a lot of bottles of the aforementioned. Well the Grill has it. 500 bottles. Let that number sink in. One dram a day. After spending a year performing that activity and you have not finished. They have some of the oldest drams on sale anywhere in the world - a 1938 Macallan, Several 1930 Malts and the legendary Black Bowmore. Voted in "Bar of the Year" in 2008 by Whisky Magazine and staffed with folks with Whisky expertise. If you do not like Whisky, then grab an ale and soak in the amazing architecture of this place. CAMRA has named this place as the most northerly Scottish "Pub Interior of Outstanding Historic Interest". So much to offer, you cannot lose by visiting this place. Pilgrims Ho!
