A Taste of Speyside
10 Balvenie Street, Dufftown, AB55 4AB
This is a real find. Not only does it do what its name says it does, it does it extremely well, possibly because it resists the temptation to over-complicate and fuss. Local delicacies make regular appearances. The speciality of the house is the famous Speyside platter with its smoked salmon, whiskied chicken live pate, smoked venison, cheeses, wholemeal bread, oatcakes and salad. The kick, however comes, as so often, in the tail. The restaurant formerly housed a whisky tasting centre, this in the town that styles itself 'the malt whisky capital of the world'. When the centre transformed into its new role much of the very fine stock of malts appears to have remained in situ with the result that after the meal can agreeably take quite a lot longer than the meal itself.This is a real find.

REVIEWS OF A Taste of Speyside
Marcel v/d Kooi (17 September 2010)
Great food, nice malts and good service!
Tracey Grant (1 September 2009)
We found this restaurant whilst on a camping weekend at Aberlour on a busy Saturday night in July. The restaurant was busy but the service was first class, the food can only be described as one of the best meals we have had in a long time, Scottish food at its best, it’s a great restaurant.
