Chinatown Chinese Takeaway

Chinatown at the Cathedral Street end of Elgin's High Street operates as both a takeaway counter and a back-room buffet restaurant, with all dishes cooked to order rather than held on a warming counter — a detail that regulars specifically appreciate. The kitchen turns out fresh Cantonese food and the buffet format draws families and groups looking for variety in one sitting. TripAdvisor rates it 4 out of 5 from nearly 100 reviews, with particular praise for the broad menu and clean premises. Elgin is the Moray capital, best known for the ruined thirteenth-century Elgin Cathedral — the "Lantern of the North" — and is the natural centre for the fertile agricultural and distillery region between the Moray Firth and the Cairngorms.
