"Genuinely couldn't fault the experience. When I heard that the Drouthy had a new menu focusing more on a veggie and vegan base, I knew I had to give it a whirl. The starter of hot Smoked salmon with lemon creme fraiche and oatcakes was simple yet packed full of flavour. I could have easily have had 10 plates of that and been happy to give it 5 stars. My partner had the smoked duck and even though I have given up meat, I was salivating at the look of their dish. They assure me that it was as delicious as it looked. Served with lavender roasted potatoes (which I'm told were amazing and charred salsify. The mains were more than a match for the brilliant starters. If I could give one piece of advice, it would be get the beetroot risotto. Not being a massive fan of beetroot, I wasn't too sure about it. But the incredibly warm waiter (for my son's, I never got his name. I only hope he can forgive me if he reads this! assured me it was tasty. He was not wrong. Beautifully cooked vegan risotto with balsamic beetroot chunks, shiitake mushrooms and rocket, it was simply divine. WHEN I go back, I'll be hard pressed to go for anything else because it was so delicious. It was creamy, packed full of flavour and cooked absolutely perfectly. Just the right amount of bite, nowhere near being mush like you get in a lot of other places (who charge a lot more, by the way . Superb. The highest of compliments to the chef. I was so taken by my dish I forgot to ask how my partner's was until I had eaten all of mine. But their home made vegan tagliatelle had disappeared from the plate so it must have been amazing. I couldn't handle dessert so had a delicious ruby port (delaforce I think it was called , and I would also like to give credit to whoever came up with their wine list. It covered every single base and no-one could ever be disappointed. Finally, if you're ever in Elgin, please make sure this is one of your destinations. You will leave extremely happy."

"I've been here twice first to meet friends from the other side of Scotland, so we had 2 young kids with us, and it was ace. recently, to the burger night (I was unsure about that: but it was fantastic food before an...event near Elgin... the food service was excellent, both very different times. The quality of cooking prep is just fab: there's a lot of thought innovation, but nothing annoyingly fancy or bewildering. Just a genuinely wide selection of tasty vegan food: all of the food drinks me, my partner friends have had here, has been really good also reasonably priced as a bonus"

"Everything about the hotel was amazing. All the staff were so polite! Food was unbelievably delicious chilli and lime salmon was my favourite out of the 4 nights I stayed and very quick service. Breakfast was lovely as well. Pre-order forms that they have are much better as you can avoid food wastage and if you want anything extra you can always ask The room itself was very cosy and as I was only in Elgin for work, the size of room was perfect for myself. Shower pressure was just spot on and the bed was excellent better than my new one from Dreams . Would be more than happy to come back if I was ever going to Elgin again! Thanks for a lovely stay!"

"We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The standout for us was definitely their Tadka Dal – it was excellent! We opted for takeaway and were pleased with the quick service. The staff were friendly and ensured that the food was prepared and delivered promptly. However, there was one issue we encountered. Since we ordered a big meal for a group of 8 people, we expected some disposable cutlery to be provided, but unfortunately, it wasn't included. This made it a bit inconvenient for us to enjoy the meal together. Overall food quality was good and the flavors were on point. We'll definitely consider returning, though we might bring our own cutlery next time if we're ordering takeaway! Parking: There's a car park nearby (Moray Street Car Park) just 2 mins walk from the restaurant. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Lamb Tikka Chana Masala, Jalfrezi, Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options: Paid parking lot"
