Our menus are carefully crafted to delight your palate with simplicity and finesse.

From sophisticated snacks and charcuterie to be shared, perfectly complemented by our selection of organic wines, to drinks and dining that draw visitors from far and wide.
At Ryvoan Cafe, we cater to your needs throughout the day – offering, alongside breakfast and lunch, our delectable cakes served alongside our favourite Cairngorm Coffee and a range of teas. We’ve something to please every taste and craving.
We hope you’ll love our surroundings – with forest green walls in homage to the majestic pines of Glenmore and Abernethy woodlands. Adorning our walls, you’ll find vibrant artwork by Daniel’s sister, Ann Vastano, capturing the beauty of the Cairngorm National Park.
Amid velvet banquettes, marble and wood top tables, potted plants, and wooden flooring, our loft-style space offers city sophistication in the heart of the Highlands. As you take in the breathtaking views through our expansive windows, you’ll be greeted by the scenic Strathspey Railway and the awe-inspiring Cairngorm Mountains.
Our name, Ryvoan, is inspired by the picturesque bothy that sits on the track connecting the Queen’s Forest in Glenmore to Abernethy Forest. It’s been a haven for rest and tales for generations.Dating back to the 1800s, this charming bothy was once part of a larger croft dwelling. Today, managed by the Mountain Bothy Association, it serves as a cherished haven for weary travelers, offering shelter, camaraderie, camping provisions, and an opportunity to share fireside tales.
Whether you’ve spent the day adventuring in the hills, exploring the enchanting forests, or immersing yourself in the diverse activities of Aviemore and its surroundings our Ryvoan Cafe – or perhaps coffee bothy – welcomes you to replenish your energy and satiate your appetite in a tranquil setting.
Derived from the Gaelic term “Ruighe a’Bhothain,” meaning “Slope of the Bothy,” the name Ryvoan encapsulates the rich heritage and natural splendor that inspires our café.
Join us at Ryvoan Cafe, where we invite you to savor delightful flavors, embrace tranquility, and create cherished memories amid the wonders of the Scottish Highlands.
