The Cross is located in the delightful Highland village of Kingussie and is a family run restaurant with rooms. This converted tweed mill combines quality with simplicity and good food with a warm welcome resulting in the accumulation of numerous awards including 3 AA Rosettes for their restaurant. The emphasis is on wholesome Scottish food served in a dining room suitably redolent of antiquity combined with strikingly modern works of art and tasteful fittings.

A starter might be pressed organic highland chicken and young grouse terrine with fig chutney followed by seared loin, braised cheek and slow roast belly of free range Moray pork, curly kale and caramelised onion, potato and truffle gratin. An indulgent dessert takes the form of the hot chocolate fondant with a decidedly different chilli ice cream. Dinner is a five course presentation with choices on mains and dessert. The wine list is highly regarded, and those not nursing a grudge against the French will be overjoyed to observe that French wines are back on the list.
