Anderson's - Highland

What a wonderful restaurant in the heart of the Cairngorm National Park! Full of charm and atmosphere and excellent service from kind and knowledgeable staff. Menu is packed with goodies mostly locally sourced and is a match for any chic urban eatery. Beautifully cooked and presented. Superb wine cellar too I noted. Obviously the best restaurant for miles around. All good.

Anderson's was recommended to us and we were glad we had booked. We had olives to start and they were warmed up, which was new to us, and they were delicious. I had the pie and my husband the belly of pork both were delicious. As we had walked over 10 miles that day, we thought we could justify dessert ice cream and sticky toffee pudding which was again delicious. The food was excellent, the service efficient. Recommended overall.

Our visit to Anderson’s was very dissatisfying. Only one red wine available and limited food menu. Steak over cooked and extremely overpriced. Staff in a hurry during our visit and no care or attention given.

Absolutely fabulous place, lovely relaxed atmosphere. We had pizzas which were excellent with plenty of toppings. The rest of the menu looked really good and home made. Definitely be going back.

Meandering through the delightful Boat of Garten, we stumbled upon Andersons, which we knew from its' pizza element, previously housed in Grantown. Open on a Sunday afternoon, only for Mothers Day, we booked a table, set off for a walk and 2 hours later, received an enthusiastic welcome, something many other Cafe/Restaurants could learn from. What a splendid menu. Ticks so many boxes and that's without the accompanying exhaustive, inventive array of homemade pizzas. We shared a tartiflette. Oh man, flavoursome, unctuous and downright delicious. Triple yum. We could then have plumped for the spectacularly plated Sunday roasts that were leaving the kitchen, but instead went for pizza, as we'd never had the opportunity to devour the sourdough, neapolitan base 12 beauties that we'd only seen in pictures before. Oh my...soooo good. Killer thin perfectly cooked base, with a variety of tasty toppings (we had The Black Pig and The White Beastie) that were just slowly savoured and nary a crumb left. In short, a triumph. I declare Boat residents to be some of the most fortunate foodies for miles in any direction. Andersons is a wee gem of a place. If you're anywhere in the vicinity, offer them your full support...you will not be sorry...
