Our local B&B host recommended this place and she was spot on. The owner was short-handed that night since it was on the shoulder season, but amazingly, his service was faster than any other restaurant we'd eaten at on our two-week journey across Scotland. There were four of us, and every meal was spectacular! I highly recommend, but be aware, Cash only, there is an ATM across the street. Well worth the minor inconvenience.
Lovely little restaurant with typical Scottish dishes, and more refined than the usual. Very often portion sizes at restaurants are a bit too big for our liking - here they were perfect! We were able to really enjoy all three courses in their entirety. The owner was very friendly and welcoming and even took the time to have a chat and a joke with us, despite being busy, taking care of the place on his own.
Tip: you might have to pay cash - there is an ATM right across the street.
An absolutely wonderful restaurant that warms your belly, heart and will make you happy about being alive and in the heart of Scotland. The quality-price relation is excellent, the dishes are flavourful, hearthy and the attention is lovely. The owner clearly loves his work and keeping the great quality and standard of it. Delicious, generous, and absolutely worth a visit.
I had an incredible dining experience at The Letterbox Restaurant in Newtonmore. The variety of starters, mains, and desserts left me thoroughly impressed. Not only was the food delicious, but the prices were also reasonable, and they catered exceptionally well to both vegetarians and vegans. Despite having only one staff member handling the front of house, she managed to run a tight ship while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Her efficiency and unwavering politeness were truly commendable. The impeccable dishes had us cleaning our plates, and I highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking a delightful meal with friends or family. It's an absolute must-visit!
If you are looking for an amazing cooked meal then this is your stop. The owner is the host, waiter and chef. Amazing service and food. It was all local food and the venison was from the down the road. And the deserts were to die for. Seriously check this place out.
Yes, you have to wait a bit longer and yes, the meal portion is not very big, but the quality of the food is great and the staff are very friendly. Even if I like „fish and chips“ it is refreshing to get here other dishes than burger and fish and chips, like monkfish, dug and venison. Also excellent dessert.
We had a nice evening.
Wow what a gem of a resturant amazing food great service highly recommended
Very good Cook and i say it as a french who love Cook. Yummy chocolate brownie as dessert.
Friendly service.
This place is special. The chef/ owner is amazing. The food was cooked to perfection and tasted even better.
Decided to grab a later dinner after visiting Inverness and stopped here. We weren’t expecting many options for 8pm, let alone good options but the Letter Box far exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing and everything tasted homemade. Will definitely come back when we visit Scotland again.
