Supper for my daughter’s birthday. Tapas was fantastic and the host was so kind and helpful including a cake for my daughter 🙂
Well made small plates of Italian and Spanish inspired tapas.

Definitely worth a visit, please make sure you visit.

Dinner

We found the Glenurquhart House Hotel when we searched through a gift voucher booklet to book an Afternoon Tea for two, otherwise we would have probably never found this hidden gem. The Hotel lies on a hillside overlooking the river Enrick. It is a cozy, quiet set of buildings, surrounded by several little outdoor spaces and benches where you can sit and enjoy the view. 
Two ladies warmly welcomed us when we arrived, and served us a generous Afternoon Tea, including one of the best teas we have ever had. We spent nearly three hours in the Tearoom while the Restaurant was prepared for dinner in the next room. It felt very much like staying at a traditional scottish Inn from an old movie. We absolutely loved it.

Perfect Afternoon Tea

Can’t comment on the hotel as we didn’t stay there, staying locally so decided to give restaurant a go for evening meal. Restaurant was clean and Covid safe and the waitress was attentive and pleasant, all going well until we got our food, the menu we were provided with bares no resemblance to the menu quoted on the website, we ordered Focaccia bread for starter, edible is about as kind as I can be. The pizza was awful, pre bought, deep bases (I’m guessing frozen) with toppings over covered with cheese, took me back to my school days, I think looking at some of the older reviews, they may have had a change of chef! No self respecting Italian would have served this and passed it off as home made, the waitress didn’t seem surprised when we left most of it!! 

Terrible pizza!! 

Dreadful, tasteless, unimaginative, overpriced vegan pasta meal. Bizarrely, served wrapped in foil, presumably to keep it hot! Didn’t! Pasta served with a watery tomato sauce with a few undercooked vegetables and a few sad, hardly cooked cherry tomatoes.  No flavouring, herbs whatsoever! Seeing as this was meant to be an Italian restaurant, this was surprising. Complained to the waitress who said she would tell the chef. I hope she does before the chef attempts any other vegan meals!
My partner had a vegetarian pasta - nothing special for the money she said. 
My daughter had the same as me - her opinion? Awful!
Restaurant needs better heating too, bit cold.

Restaurant vegan pasta meal - awful!

We stayed on the car park in our motorhome and ate in the restaurant. Jenny looked after us very well all evening and the food was delicious. I had a tuna steak which was not cooked enough ( for my taste) I asked for it to be cooked a little longer but they cooked my whole meal again. They went above and beyond. Highly recommended. 

Delicious food

Stayed for 3 days in this gorgeous hotel -everything was so perfect -from the facilities ,to the room decoration ,the old  piano with curved keys ,the lovely host Carol and her team of friendly helpers ,especially Jenny ,the menu was divine ,the food was freshly prepared and served in style ,and the area is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever been .A place to be visited again ,highly recommended

The dreamy paradise

After 300 km of mountain riding in Cairngorm Park driving down the Highlands panoramic route, from the fairy tale, we arrive very tired at the hotel and accept the advice to eat in the Italian flat next door. We never do it (Italian dishes abroad are a lottery). The least bad thing to be found in the menu (horribly translated) looked like the carbonara. I attach the photo and leave you the comments. My wife's dish is even worse.

It's a horrible kitchen.

Stayed June 2019. Room Ok although shower not wonderful. Cost almost £100 for b&b - breakfast was taken in the room although there is an option for around £12 each for full breakfast. Staff pleasant.
Evening meal disappointing, Italian style but rather heavy handed.
Thought overall as paid for dinner b&b around £170 - not great value.

Very average - not great value

We visited this restaurant on June 20th.
We were recommended it by our b n b host, and im glad they told us about it, my wife had the slow braised highlands beef cheeks which just melted in her mouth, myself at a smoked fish pasta with lemon and pasley, to combine Scottish food with Italian flavours is very interesting and impressive,
Would definitely visit again when we are back in Scotland, excellent service and nothing was anything trouble.

Altopiano Italiano

Sadly disappointed by our dinner experience. Nothing authentic about this Italian restaurant 😞 Food edible but not the experience we were hoping for and paid top dollar for
Suggest employing an Italian chef, and upgrading the surroundings which are seriously outdated.
Not so sure about the overall cleanliness as tables were sticky and stained
