"I visited this restaurant in July and was pleased to find that there were 6 vegan options on the menu: a vegan breakfast, haggis toastie, roast veg toastie, salad, and 2 soups of the day. I decided to order the haggis panini and found it to be easy to eat and quite delicious. The salad originally came with non-vegan Caesar salad dressing, but the staff quickly and willingly changed it when I asked. It's important for customers to communicate their dietary preferences when ordering sandwiches. Additionally, I treated myself to a coconut caramel ice cream, which was delightful, and enjoyed the selection of 3 vegan cake options. There was also an extensive selection for gluten-free diners. The staff was friendly and attentive, making my overall experience a positive one. I would definitely consider returning to this restaurant. (Updated by previous review on 2021-07-27)"

My partner inquired about the vegan options for the soups, but the staff was unaware and had to ask the manager, who seemed indifferent and unhelpful. Additionally, the restaurant did not have any vegan options available on the menu.

I also treated myself to a delightful coconut caramel ice coffee and was happy to see they had three vegan cake options available. The restaurant also offers extensive choices for gluten-free diners. The staff were friendly and attentive, making for an enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely consider returning in the future. Voir le carte

I stopped by for a late breakfast at this charming restaurant that also has a large gift shop. I decided to try their vegan waffle with vegan haggis and scotch bonnet ketchup. They also had a couple of vegan cake options, so I indulged in both. The chocolate and ginger cake was so delicious that I forgot to take a photo before devouring it. I also got a chocolate and raspberry torte to go, which was equally tasty.

I stopped by this lovely little place for a late breakfast. They have a fairly large gift shop. I ordered a waffle and asked if it was vegan, which it was. I had it with vegan haggis and scotch bonnet ketchup. They also had a couple of vegan cake options, so I tried both. I enjoyed the chocolate and ginger cake, and before I remembered to take a photo, it was as delicious as the chocolate and raspberry torte I had.

This is a fantastic spot to relax and unwind. The café features a typical layout, with plenty of tables arranged in a way that doesn't feel cramped. Next door, accessible from inside the café without needing to step outside, is a delightful shop filled with a great selection of products and lovely gift ideas to take home. Restrooms are conveniently located at the back of the shop. The servers were polite, quick, and well-presented. Voir le carte

I absolutely love this place! The staff is incredibly friendly and highly efficient. They serve the best pancakes I've ever tasted—I tried both the hearty and sweet options, and both were absolutely perfect. The veggie haggis was located upstairs, which was a nice touch. I was also pleased with their selection of non-dairy milk options. It's dog-friendly, which is fantastic since our little pup accompanies us everywhere. I would love to see more places like this!

Stopped by for a late breakfast at this charming restaurant located in a picturesque square. The gift shop onsite is fairly large and worth a browse. I tried their vegan waffle with vegan Haggis and Scotch bonnet ketchup, and it was delicious. They also had a couple of vegan cake options, so I tried both the chocolate and ginger cakes. I enjoyed them so much that I almost forgot to take a photo, but managed to snap a picture of the tasty chocolate and raspberry cake. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience.

"Dining We looked forward to dining in the pre booked Clunie restaurant on our first night. The hotel is crammed full of fascinating object d’art which have been creatively and tastefully embedded throughout the building. The restaurant was no exception which all supported the promise of a good meal. Sadly this did not really materialise despite the hotel’s website stating ‘The Fife Arms showcases the finest seasonal produce for which Scotland is world famous. From fresh seafood and game to local whiskies and spirits, many of the ingredients used in the kitchens and bars is sourced from local suppliers, gamekeepers and farmers.’ Despite the restaurant being almost full the presented menu only offered a choice of four options for starters and mains with only three side dishes listed. One of the mains was only available as a two person course thus further limiting the choice. I immediately felt this somewhat limited offering was not on par with the five star aspirations of the hotel. It clearly failed to reflect the website statement. I opted for the scallop dish which consisted of two small scallops (I used to return larger to the sea in my diving days) which were all but hidden by three scant chicory leaves and a small spoonful of hazelnut purée all for the princely sum of £20! The price is one thing but I have had a more appealing dish served as pub food! My wife opted for the equally uninspirational mackerel crudo fancy name not so fancy dish. These dishes were followed by cod on wilted greens for myself which although a sizeable portion of fish it included a glutinous skin (probably left behind after removing the outer skin post cooking) totally lacked any seasoning apart from an overwhelming acidic drench through the vegetable. My wife opted for 4 pieces of wood fired pumpkin, presumably the vegetarian dish for £22 really! While cod is not a bad fish it is hardly in the top ten of those landed on our shores. Why wasn’t there more fish or indeed seafood options on offer to showcase Scotland’s larder? Halibut, turbot, salmon, shell fish all spring to mind. Likewise I noticed a rather grand open fire range to the front of the kitchen including a josper type grill /bread oven etc which was not in use. Why not when alternative steak dishes could have been offered? Maybe this is only operated during special events. Like the hotel I purchase wine from Corney and Bowes (the delivery van was leaving as we arrived). The mark up on wines is staggering even for a hotel! Breakfast the following day presented similarly poor and limited options again bearing in mind the premier league the business seeks to compete in. The Ghillie’s breakfast was edible no more. It included spicy beans which clearly had been reheated numerous times , no mushrooms, no tomatoes which are normally standard fare in such dishes. Another odd trait concerned the toast which when ordered alongside coffee actually came underneath the brittle bacon not on a toast rack. No usual smoked haddock, kippers etc were available. I’ve had better cooked and varied breakfasts in ‘greasy spoon’ cafes. (References are available) Most of the same dishes were on offer the following day and included one of the strangest dishes I’ve witnessed broccoli and onion fritters really for breakfast! I twice asked for a copy of the previous evening’s menu to see if this vegetable had been on and possibly confirm kitchen recycling. I never got it or any further explanation. The odd practice of slipping toast under cooked food continued as I was met with one slice of soggy sour dough toast under my scrambled egg. In short the entire dining experience at the Fife Arms was hugely disappointing especially as it was meant to mark a special occasion. Again in comparison with other high end establishments we felt the kitchen lacked any imagination, creativity, finesse and ability to properly showcase what Scotland has to offer on food. Recent reviews suggest the business is striving for premier league recognition but will flatly remain in the third division unless menus and standard of cooking are radically overhauled. Otherwise I do not envisage the Michelin man visiting soon and returning a positive score. How is it that much smaller establishments can and do offer far more varied and innovative menus which showcase Scotland’s larder at much more realistic cost. I acknowledge that good reviews have been left by many regarding good standards but it does beg the question what benchmarks they are using. I for one shan’t be darkening your doorstep again and shall patronise those businesses who deserve their well earned accolades and corresponding patronage."
