This attractive whitewashed former manse in the Cairngorms National Park has been transformed into a true dining destination with a personality of its own. Start in the elegant bar, with one of the fine selection of Scottish and Japanese whiskies, before heading to the Nordic-style dining room for the main event. A surprise tasting menu fuses Scottish produce, including some from their garden, with Japanese techniques, enhancing the ingredients to brilliant effect. The house-made oat tofu is a prime example, served with a lip-smacking fermented cream sauce with broad beans and chilli.
WebsiteLocated in an end of terrace cottage dating back to the 18C, this appealing restaurant blends its characterful, dark oak panelled walls and ceiling with a bright, contemporary look. Unfussy, modern cooking proudly name-checks Scottish ingredients and comes with plenty of flavour. Be sure to try their delicious homemade haggis.
WebsiteThis former railway hotel may date back to 1866, but the inside has a super-smart modern look thanks to the owners of nearby Ballintaggart Farm; pass through the small library-cum-lounge and you’ll find a cosy, homely restaurant. 'Scottish' and 'seasonal' are the guiding principles of the cooking, which harnesses local ingredients from Isle of Mull crab to Perthshire wild mushrooms to power the generously sized and flavoured dishes. The owners are also wine enthusiasts and an impressive selection of whiskies and cocktails are on offer too.
WebsiteYou know what you're getting at Collinsons: an experienced chef showing his skill in delivering generous, consistently enjoyable dishes that are classic to the core. You're likely to find some of Chef-Owner Stephen Collinson's signatures recurring on the menu, like smoked haddock rarebit with leek or roasted venison with a port and cassis sauce. Whilst it may be tucked away down a quiet street, the restaurant itself is hard to miss thanks to its name etched across the floor-to-ceiling windows.
