   Genuinely couldn't fault the experience. When I heard that the Drouthy had a new menu focusing more on a veggie and vegan base, I knew I had to give it a whirl. The starter of hot Smoked salmon with lemon creme fraiche and oatcakes was simple yet packed full of flavour. I could have easily have had 10 plates of that and been happy to give it 5 stars. My partner had the smoked duck and even though I have given up meat, I was salivating at the look of their dish. They assure me that it was as delicious as it looked. Served with lavender roasted potatoes (which I'm told were amazing) and charred salsify. The mains were more than a match for the brilliant starters. If I could give one piece of advice, it would be get the beetroot risotto. Not being a massive fan of beetroot, I wasn't too sure about it. But the incredibly warm waiter (for my son's, I never got his name. I only hope he can forgive me if he reads this!) assured me it was tasty. He was not wrong. Beautifully cooked vegan risotto with balsamic beetroot chunks, shiitake mushrooms and rocket, it was simply divine. WHEN I go back, I'll be hard pressed to go for anything else because it was so delicious. It was creamy, packed full of flavour and cooked absolutely perfectly. Just the right amount of bite, nowhere near being mush like you get in a lot of other places (who charge a lot more, by the way). Superb. The highest of compliments to the chef. I was so taken by my dish I forgot to ask how my partner's was until I had eaten all of mine. But their home made vegan tagliatelle had disappeared from the plate so it must have been amazing. I couldn't handle dessert so had a delicious ruby port (delaforce I think it was called), and I would also like to give credit to whoever came up with their wine list. It covered every single base and no-one could ever be disappointed. Finally, if you're ever in Elgin, please make sure this is one of your destinations. You will leave extremely happy.

   Service good. Great food options for vegetarians , they keep the bar bites the same but mix up main menu which makes a lot of sense. Macaroni cheese is to die for. Best bar in Elgin.

   Down a little alley way, the Drouthy Cobbler is a gem. Seating with heaters outside and a range of seating options inside. Great range of beers, including the local Windswept Brewery, wines, spirits and non-alcoholic options. Short but varied menu, ordered Ribeye steak, came swiftly but cooked very well - spot on for me and my mate - good portion size and amazing skin on chips. Pint of Windswept Wolf went amazing with the chargrilled steak. Then Scottish Cheeseboard to finish - great cheeses, far from run of the mill, well presented and great value! Highly recommended!

   Food was okay but the mussels were not nice at all - I did get a discount off this though. Very limited whisky list (about 25 max) which was a disappointment as over 100 was advertised, those listed very common. Limited ale on tap. Really not the place I thought it would be.

   Meals were disappointing. Burger buns were cold, not toasted at all, and the garden salad consisted of only a very small handful of lettuce. Medium rare steak was very over cooked. Staff were friendly, perhaps we were just unlucky with the chef that night!

   Great atmosphere and food was great .The only issue is they had ran out of a lot of things from food to whisky. If they could get that sorted it would be 5/5
