Our party of 4 walked into the town of Aviemore and had dinner at this nearby pub.  It was about a…read more10 minute walk from the Macdonald Morlich hotel to here, and that's about the minimum amount of walking needed to get to the commercial main drag as the grounds of the resort property cover a good portion of that walk.  The pub is quaint and cozy and we ate in the 2nd floor triangular loft area that one enters the restaurant in.  I had their venison burger and wife had their seafood linguine.  Our pals had a Winky Beef burger and the fish and chips.  The portions were pretty large.  My venison burger was a bit on the dry side and lacked flavor, but the other dishes were apparently ok.  The fries were decent. Overall, ok, and they got the job done for us

It was a bit cold and drizzly so we were glad to be inside. It is cozy. The menu consists of about 10 dishes I would say. Ordered the 8oz. steak with garlic butter, with mushroom/tomato and chips as sides. Also ordered green beans. Also added on Cullen skink. Kids had gnocchi. Being a thin steak the cook ranged from medium well to medium rare in parts. Not like steak back in the states. I would say beef flavor came through but not enough seasoning. The vegetables and chips were very good. The Cullen skink was more stewy than soupy also it was locally made, this recipe had dill pickle bits in it. I thought it was good. I love how they love bread and butter in this country. The gnocchi was okay. Again just different from rye U.S. Service friendly and welcoming.

This will do you quite comfortably as a main, and the staff are quite happy to let you order it as a main course. It's £5.95 for the nachos with the chilli beef, which is very good, considering some places are higher priced for the nachos themselves, and then add an additional charge for the meat. The service in here is service with a smile, and the staff are always friendly. They don't hover either, which is a bugbear of mine, and it's normally just a general check in halfway through the meal to see if everything is ok. This is typical pub grub, but the cosy atmosphere, the quirky decoration and the friendly staff make this stand out from the crowd.

We spent one of our 4 nights in town at Hootananny...It's a lively spot with a full restaurant and bar and good whiskey recommendations from the bartender. On this night, it was a jam, as opposed to a frontal performance...these jams you'll find throughout Scotland are really not performances, but musicians who gather together in the front of the venue, sitting in a circle, typically with a group of them with their backs to the audience, who play for each other, for the sheer and obvious love of the collaborative music. They ran through all kinds of traditional Scottish tunes, occasionally with instruments put aside to let a couple of them sing a cappella. It was a beautiful experience to watch "performers" immersing themselves in each other's music, with us, the audience, grateful, if not incidental, receivers of it. They've got a decent whisky selection too, and, as I found throughout Scotland, every bartender seemed knowledgeable in what was offered and willing to have a conversation to help guide you to what you might want to drink that night. (I had a Bunnahabain dram.) If you've got a few nights in town, this is one of the main 3 venues you should check out...the other two we experienced were more direct performances, also good, but to experience a musician's jam circle like this, is truly a wonderful and unique experience to have when in town.

Re: Delicious Sticky Toffee Pudding…read more To the Greek couple we met in Inverness, with great apologies, we suffered confusion of which delicious desserts we had at various restaurants around the city, inadvertently directing you towards a place that did not serve sticky toffee pudding. We should have pointed you towards MacGregor's as having the most delicious sticky toffee pudding, now verified after having several others that did not perfectly balance sweet with salt as that of the sticky toffee pudding at MacGregor's. If the pub is full, please find your way to the end of the bar and the small door to the left that takes you to the cosy table service room where Jess and other wait staff, including little Nala, will take the best care of you. We also highly recommend the steak & ale pie and fish & chips, should you require something a bit more than the sticky toffee pudding. Again, apologies, and we are certain you will have a fantastic experience at MacGregor's!
