Explorer Cafe Aviemore — Restaurant in Scotland

Been 3 or 4 times in the last few years. Will need to find out where is actually decent in Aviemore for brekkie. Limited menu, unenthusiastic staff who leave you standing at the till whilst they chat amongst themselves. No instructions on where to find the condiments, no smiles, the waiter wore an earbud whilst serving my food... had to wait a while for my drinks after that (staff must have been busy chatting)

I ordered the Avocado Toast with bacon and black pudding. The toasted bloomer was hard to cut, the bacon succeeded in being both overcooked and cold, the black pudding and Avocado where ok. The tiny portion of cous cous and crisps on the side where pointless.

Lost business due to lack of...

Teapot lid was broken and couldn't get the teabag in as would not come off. After over a 30 min wait our food began to come out. The fries were in a tarnished and dirty metal pot. The soup my wife ordered never arrived but her bread did. Staff were just chatting behind the counter so no intention of bringing the missing food. Waited 5 more minutes. Could not get staff attention at our table. Had to approach check out at which point I was so angry said we were leaving and not paying. Cafe was quiet, when everywhere else busy, should have...
