Cairngorm - Aviemore

Review of the restaurant: The overall experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. The food, in general, was just okay. I started with the cured salmon, which unfortunately wasn't as fresh as I had hoped. However, the haddock and chips dish was highly disappointing; the fish lacked flavor, and the chips were far from being great. Regarding the service, I must say that the barman was quite rude. I placed my order at the bar, and instead of coming over to me to take it properly, he simply pointed from where he was standing. It would have been more courteous if he had walked the short distance to ask for my order directly. Throughout the interaction, he appeared disinterested and unenthusiastic about his job. On a positive note, the staff during the meal service were exceptional. I was part of a large party, and they handled everything brilliantly, earning a solid 10/10. Their attitude and attentiveness contributed to making the meal enjoyable despite the earlier hiccups. In conclusion, the restaurant had some areas that need improvement, such as the freshness of their ingredients and the attitude of certain staff members. However, the meal service staff shone brightly and ensured a pleasant dining experience for our party.

Attended for lunch, there was a 30min wait for a table but we were allowed to wait in lounge and received a buzz on the pad they give you to let you know it's ready. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Myself and my partner took our young child with us and was great to see baby changing facilities in men's and ladies toilets.

I dined at the restaurant and enjoyed a few beers at the bar. The food was some of the best we've had in quite a while. The staff was helpful and friendly. The prices are reasonable considering the high quality of the food. I would highly recommend this place. We had to wait for a table, so it might be a good idea to book in advance, but it was definitely worth the wait.

The restaurant offers a separate gluten-free menu, and the staff is both knowledgeable and friendly. They even have a separate fryer for the chips. I tried the Cajun chicken, and it was really good!

There are plenty of gluten-free options available. As someone with a severe gluten sensitivity, I was pleased to find that my stomach felt fine afterward. They take great care to prevent cross-contamination.
