The Avenue — Restaurant in Scotland

Thought I'd treat myself in September to a nice lunch. The menu was nothing new but very expensive. I went for a toasty. They didn't have regular coke, only zero sugar coke so I opted for j20. The toasty took a while to come, amazing as the place was near empty. The restaurant was cold, myself and another table kept their coats on. The toasty came and I was so stunned and hungry for anything I just stared at the two of the cheapest plapiest bits of loaf used to make one toasty. Lots of root vege in salad cream with a big wedge of iceberg lettuce quickly sliced and not even spread was inspired further to a disgrace by including a few soft crisps. I paid and left for Macleans to warm up and have a coffee and a piece which I would have had at the Pagoda. This is the worst lunch experience I have ever had. And, also was the worst toasty I have ever had while being the most expensive toasty I have ever had. For the price I was expecting at least a panini and not...

Delighted to have discovered this family friendly restaurant. Grantown-upon-Spey has several great coffee shops, a plethora of chippies and some old style trad hotel bars and restaurants.

Went here for lunch with my partner and 2 dogs and was honestly blown away.

I got the Pagoda Club and my partner got the Meze and haggis bon bons. Everything tasted so fresh and looked like it was all homemade, even down to the coleslaw. I even ate the little side salad that usually just gets put on a plate for a bit of green because it was so nice. We then finished off with a cheesecake. We were already full off the food but just had to get it because everything was so nice.

The server was lovely and took care of us. She was also so friendly to our dogs and so was the chef when he came out.

Will definitely be going back when we are in the area next...
