Lossiemouth Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Lossiemouth
Lossiemouth (Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Losaidh) is a town in Moray, Scotland. Originally the port belonging to Elgin, it became an important fishing town. Although there has been over a 1,000 years of settlement in the area, the present day town was formed over the past 250 years and consists of four separate communities that eventually merged into one. From 1890 - 1975 it was a police burgh as Lossiemouth and Branderburgh.

Due to both my parents not keeping the best health we decided to eat out this Christmas Day. I personally am never a huge fan of this but the Sunninghill is always good and that is where my dad wanted to go so off we went.
Firstly we were seated in the conservatory which was great as you have plenty of room without it feeling crowded. Menu was very good and i chose haggis, sorbet, beef and sticky toffee - pretty much standard fare. Everything was tasty hot and extra potatoes etc were all offered. my folks had a few different options - soup / melon and as i said there was nothing overly adventurous. This is probably what has to be offered for a Christmas lunch. What i liked was that everything was tasty - hot and i know this is the least you would expect but when catering for large numbers on a day like Christmas this can be easier said than done.
Enjoyed the meal and what particular made it are the staff who are alwasys very attentive and chatty. They tend to be older staff and they don't change much which is a credit to both them and the business.

13 of us celebrated our friend's big birthday in the quieter, more intimate conservatory.
We all ordered a selection of different meals, including half s dozen portions of haddock and chips. The food arrived together, and all appeared to be of good quality, with fresh vegetables or salad accompanying every meal. My fresh haddock and chips came with cole slaw and broccoli, and was delicious.
The staff were attentive, helpful, but not intrusive. The majority of main courses appeared to cost under £10.
I'd certainly visit again.

We stopped in for lunch and to shelter from the rain. We didn't expect such excellent food. Cullen skink risotto for me was fantastic, while a simple toastie for our youngest was also on offer. Really enjoyed it and would be happy to make a return visit.

We stopped in here for brunch and coffee. They left the plastic wrapping on the black pudding when they cooked it but otherwise the brunch was very tasty. We didn't have room for cakes but they looked delicious.

After a fantastic family meal on Friday I felt it was about time I reviewed this excellent restaurant. Always busy which is clear evidence of its quality and I would recommend booking a table, especially at weekends. The waiting staff are always very professional, friendly, helpful and efficient. Excellent range of dishes on offer and staff will go out of their way to ensure special needs are met. Always our first choice for Indian cuisine.

We were looking for a family restaurant whilst passing through Elgin. TripAdvisor was a good starting point to find a suitable restaurant.
We went in to find a very pleasant surprise. Excellent customer service and professionalism. The restaurant even assisted with a baby chair and colouring in material. My boys loved the kids menu having spaghetti Bolognese and a pizza with ice cream to finish off the meal. As we are well travelled the kids can be fussy but clean empty plates all around. Good seafood pizza and wine for the lady of the house. Well done. We will be back sooner rather than later. Lovely place for both family and couples.

We ordered a banquet for four and only around 2 of the dishes were tasty. Most dishes were greasy and bland. First impressions were not good as it is rather dingy and run down. Staff were very pleasant but service slow. Won’t be going back.

Visited here for breakfast the other day, ordered a full breakfast and a bagel with scrambled eggs. Requested the breakfast with scrambled eggs but was told it can only be served with a fried egg!!!! Really.... need to address the situation, anywhere else you go for breakfast will ask how you would like your eggs.... scrambled available on a bagel even though they were microwaved why not with a breakfast ..... or how about a poached egg which seems totally off limits. As a frequent visitor will go elsewhere for breakfast/brunch
