Explorer Cafe - Highland

My wife and I visited the caffe yesterday and were not particularly impressed. there were no menus and there were no prizes on the display. we were shocked when we ordered two toasties and two doses soft drink and the bill came to £17. maybe. I'm out of touch, but that seemed ridiculous. we looked at the reception and it wasn't even article that seemed very strange only said total £17.00

Previous was the discoverer and had the most fabulous breakfast as soon as mountain cafe closed this place was best visited in aviemore. today to find them only breakfast rolls. £4.50 for a roll with 2 sausages (in the half cut) no wonder, a normally packed...out caffe was dead quiet. could not complain about the coffee.

Very nice in the upper floor from an outdoor shop. pie was very tasty and personal friendly and helpful. we had arrived 3.30 clock from glasgow and most other caffes closed or closed. it remains open until 5 o'clock so practical to know.

As a fairly regular visitor of aviemore I have always found the explorer cafe to be about the best cafe in the city. in the last two years the explorer has developed downhill. I used to go to the breakfast where she was. a really good, crispy, well-filled speckrolle on a beautiful, roasted, rustic roll. the last time I was there (about 6 months ago) I was told that they had no cook and therefore could not make any speckrolls. Really? this time, oh joy, bacon were rolling again on the menu, so I asked for a nice crispy bacon roll please. what arrived was barely cooked, cold and on a simple soft roll. it was sent back and on its return was at least boiled and hot, but far away from crispy. the next day we tried again and asked the girl on the up to our very crispy speckrolls please. sad, when they arrived, they were barely cooked, cold and this time served with a small pot-baked bean (but no medium to eat them).) the rolls were returned and yes, they guessed it, they returned at least hot but not crispy back. the explorer also made a really good selection of filled rolls and lunch. unfortunately no more. all they do is a selection of baked (which I admit are very good) and suppe. Do not understand me wrong, I like the explorer. the personal is very friendly and the view of the windows is stunning. I think, however, they have to recharge their game and do what they have done so well.

Cafe was brilliant last time we visited. Very limited choice, breakfast rolls were advertised but the only choice was sausage….no bacon, no egg. Wouldn’t recommend at the moment.
