Miele's Gelateria Aviemore — Restaurant in Scotland

Hidden gem! Missed their truck in Loch Ness but on a cold winter day, on our way back from seeing the famous reindeer herd, we stopped by at the Aviemore location. The citrus turmeric cheesecake flavor must have taken creativity and courage to come up with and it sure hits the spot. Swirls of citrus combined with the smell of turmeric encased in cheese cake. The black forest full of kirsch soaked cherries was great too and the five year old licked her vanilla and cotton candy cup clean. A gelato shop serving us one of our best meals in Scotland so far, yes—the chicken broth soup was hearty, just right for the weather and the toasted paninis—sun-dried tomato and mozzarella and chicken pesto, toasted and melted to perfection. Shout out to Diane and Caitlin for being helpful and patient. And whoever chose that playlist of Frankie Valli, Elton John, Abba, Ronettes, soundtrack of...

Absolutely amazing! Just had gelato as I don't think there were any vegan pastry/donuts available (though didn't check so could be wrong). There were three vegan gelato options which was a very nice surprise! I had chocolate and green apple sorbet (the other option was Iron Bru - not for me). It's really good that there are slightly different options for vegans/people with allergies rather than just vanilla and chocolate.

Cones which are vegan are separate from non vegan cones which I guess is more for allergy reasons but still much appreciated :) . My parents (non vegan) had two scoops of gelato also and thoroughly enjoyed it. We'll definitely be back when we're next up in...

I like my motorbike. I like Aviemore. I like ice cream. When it's sunny and I need an excuse to go for a bike ride there is always a place I go. Mieles in Aviemore. 121 miles for a round trip for a scoop of triple chocolate and a scoop of coffee ice cream. My wife had a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of coffee. The sun was shining, the day was great and who knows, we might be back sooner than later. The shop is large enough to sit down in, its clean and follows covid rules and the staff have never been anything but polite and mannerable. I could visit their shop in Lossiemouth 17 miles from my house but where's the fun in that. Cones, flakes, tubs are all available with lashings of sauce that might make you adjust your belt size. Go on, drop a notch...
