The Milton has claimed to be one of Scotland’s best kept secrets, but after winning the inaugural Taste of Grampian Restaurant of the Year Award in 2005, Chef of the Year two years running, Scottish Chef of the Year Best Main Course 2009 and an AA rosette... the secret is out! The kitchen team win awards not only for the taste, texture and depth of flavour they impart to their cooking, but also for stunning presentation of the dishes. The all day menu might include starters of Spiced Pork Belly, or Devilled Kidneys on Toast. Roasted Loin of Venison is a highlight amongst the main courses; an eclectic dessert menu includes Chocolate Ganache Tart with Juniper Ice Cream alongside Carrot Cake with Spiced Mascarpone and Orange Anglaise. They really pull out the stops for the a la carte menu on Saturday evenings; however, due to its beautiful location, the Milton is worth visiting anytime.
