We had a very nice dinner at the Balavoulin. The size of the courses might be a bit smaller so that a three course dinner does not result in an overfilled stomach ;-)

The home made French Onion Soup was excellent, I am glad I decided to have a starter instead of a desert. Our mains were very good and the portions large, in the ladies found them too large. The ambiance was very good, welcoming families and dogs. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff allowed us time to enjoy our meal and have a blather in our own time. The Balavoulin is very popular and would recommend booking a table, to avoid disappointment.

We love visiting the Balavoulin when staying in Aviemore, its a great family run pub that serves brilliant food! Perfect after a day hiking or cycling up the Cairngorms. Staff are always brilliant, so happy & friendly and the food is second to none, always served in large portions and tastes great. It is slightly expensive but it definitely makes up for it in quality. Cant wait to come back!

Great restaurant and bar. Very dog friendly and the booth we were given was perfect for our two pooches. Food was excellent and very hot. Particularly loved the pizzas.

The food was delicious but it was the attitude of the staff which made our evening such a success. Very friendly, helpful and accommodating. I am hard of hearing so found us a quieter table. Thank you.

We’re frequent visitors to the Balavoulin. Food is always spot-on, Struan and his staff are great, and it’s dog-friendly, which means you can make new friends

The staff were very friendly and helpful, regularly asking us of we needed anything and petting the dog with us. Although the food is a simple pub grub offering it's well done and overall very happy with the food and service.

As soon as we entered the service was excellent. Greeted by a very pleasant young man. We were given plenty time to choose what we wanted and as one of us is gluten free he checked everything was right for us. Lovely atmosphere, quality of food was excellent and really good value. We would go again and recommend anyone to go.
