The
restaurant, which overlooks the lawns running down to the loch, is
one of the best in the Highlands. The Dining Room with its fine paintings,
generously spaced tables and soft acoustics invites intimate conversation.
The linen is crisp, the silver glints, the crystal sparkles in the
candlelight and the service is well judged. After dinner, there is
usually a log fire and the evocative smell of wood smoke in the bar
library.
The Ardanaiseig and Acclaimed Chef
de Cuisine Gary Goldie have recently been placed top in a survey
of the best five Hotel Restaurants in Scotland published in the
Glasgow Herald and runner up in the Hotel review Scotland, Chef
of the Year awards in 2004.
His Gourmet menu features appetizers and pre desserts and makes
for a truly memorable dining experience.
Gary says "From the bread to the chocolates everything we make
is fresh. We all work very hard at maintaining the standards we
have created over the years. We only use the best produce from all
over the world including herbs, vegetables and fruit from our own
gardens - the seafood available locally is first rate and we take
full advantage of that too."
The food
is well complemented by a distinguished and international selection
of wines (and more than fifty single malt whiskies) from Ardanaiseig's
extensive cellars.
The breakfasts are huge and very
Scottish - and at tea time, our home made breads, scones and jams
come into their own.
