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?

It's pretty slick with amazing lighting (I couldn't stop looking at it) and had a nice vibe to it. There was a group in front of us trying to decide what they wanted so I had a good amount of time to suss out the options. We were actually heading to Musa nearby for lunch so we just needed drinks - a pot of tea and water for me. But then I saw Bundaberg Ginger Beer and nearly fainted because I was so happy (ok, maybe slight exaggeration), so I ordered two bottles of that. We sat in the window seats while we had our drinks and admired how beautiful Aberdeen is in the sunshine. All up, this was a cosy cafe with a nice vibe and friendly staff, and I'd definitely return.

If you've never had Cullen Skink you definitely should try it here…read more It's a small homey cafe on the corner. Great service and all. This particular afternoon I really just wanted some extra protein so I got both a burger and Skink. The burger was solid but I really liked the Cullen Skink. If you are a fan of Seafood it's a must. I say Seafood and not just Clam Chowder because I feel like depending on where you live, the Chowder can vary. The one's I love the most are the creamy white broths but I also wasn't a huge fan of the Seafood Chowder's I had in Ireland. It's just a little too thin on the broth and creaminess. However there's something about the skink that really does it for me. It's not as creamy as the Clam Chowder we have in states but it's also got a little Smokey component from the fish. I almost wish I woulda had a local whiskey to go with it. What made it even better was that it was a cold day so of course the soup tasted even better. Parking is a little challenging. Theres a parking lot in front of this place but it's still kinda small. I highly recommend giving yourself some extra time to get there due to the parking situation.

There is a fantastic selection of breads, a lovely menu to choose from for brunch and lunch, and in the Summer they open longer with pizzas on offer in the evenings.

I really cannot sing the praises of this place highly enough. Great food in a great location!

I had one of their specials of the day, which was smoked haddock fishcakes & salad and it was really good. They have plenty of vegetarian options too.

After eating here it's nice to take a walk around the bay or along the beach, both of which are only a few minutes walk from the restaurant. I wish I had a restaurant/bakery like this where I live!

This is a great place to shop! I live in Aberdeen and regularly drive out to Foveran to The Store…read more This is a farm shop selling meat (beef and lamb) produced in their own farm, they also buy in fruit and veg, storecupboard ingredients and chicken (free range) from other local suppliers to sell in the shop. The meat really is first class, the sausages are very good quality and they very often do a '3 for 2' deal to save a few pennies. The ladies in the shop are always so helpful and willing to give you advice on how to cook the produce. They also produce very good quality ready meals, pies, lasagnes and much more these are very tasty. I would highly recommend a drive out here but if it is a little out of your way they are often at the Farmers Market on Belmont Street, and I believe they have a shop in Edinburgh.
