We have been in Ullapool for 4 evenings, eating differently each evening And the cooking here was the best I had lamb chops with an excellent dauphinoise potato followed by really good unusual apple and gooseberry tart with creme anglais She had a chicken breast stuffed and excellent cheesecake Memorable But the waiting staff were miserable dull uncharming sad and the room was hash lighting and ambiance

Absolutely lovely. Fiona and the lady who worked with her so sorry I didn’t get her name were the best front house staff I have seen and my husband and I travel a lot. Food at evening meal was beautiful and breakfast hot and plentiful. Great location but the 2 ladies are great can’t do enough to make you feel welcome an absolute pleasure to be under their care

Good local cuisine, and at a reasonable price (which seems to be rather uncommon in this region, alas...). The meat in the beef pie is top quality, that's a very good point. (You see so many restaurants that take advantage of the meat being hidden in its sauce and crust to discharge greasy and nervous chunks in the pie...) The haddock does taste like haddock (unlike some other recently reviewed tourist's trap). Good place to eat in Ballater

Lovely restaurant, friendly staff, excellent food, everything to like. Compared to overpriced restaurants elsewhere around here, this cosy attractive restaurant serves up good value tasty food with really chatty, friendly staff. The Steak and Ale Pie is most excellent and served up piping hot in a hot oven dish and stays hot till every scrap is scoffed. Same goes for the lasagne, and if you’ve room for a pudding, the cheese cake is delicious and artistically presented. A big slice too! I’d recommend the “Alex” Wasn’t impressed with the Cairngorm Ale but that was my choice - there’s plenty others.

In tegenstelling tot sommige commentaren kan ik alleen maar lovend zijn over het personeel en hun manier van werken. De eigenaresse van onze B&B had gebeld maar er zou die avond spijtig genoeg geen tafel vrij zijn wegens de drukte. Toch maar even gaan kijken en de eigenaar vond nog een plaatsje voor ons in de barruimte. Omdat wij maar met twee waren kon hij dit fixen. Geweldig, het was er gezellig en druk, inderdaad waren voor de rest alle tafels volzet. De bediening was soepel en heel vlot. Als voorgerecht soep heel lekker en grote soepkom met een lekker vers broodje. De hoofgerechten waren verzorgd en lekker. Eentje was gevulde kip met haggis en de andere was een schotel met geitekaas. Wij waren beiden heel tevreden. De menu in de bar is beperkter maar zeker voldoende voor een goede keuze. Wij hebben hier lekker gegeten aan een faire prijs.

Called in for dinner/supper as we liked the options shown on the menu outside. We hadn't booked so were pleased that they did have a table available. Service was quick - from showing us a menu, letting us know what the 'soup of the day' was, asking what we would like to drink and then the serving of the food itself. For starter, we had potato and leek soup which was very tasty - no potatoes dissolving into the soup here. Our main was chicken stuffed with haggis, and wrapped with bacon secure with vegetables and chips or mashed potatoes. This was also very tasty and plentiful, so much so that we did not need a dessert to finish - maybe need to have another visit to try one out. The staff there were friendly, good humoured and attentive to what customers were doing, e.g. table clearing within minutes of finishing each course. All in all a good decision to just pop in.

Popped into The Alexandra on a Saturday around 6pm. Most of the tables were already reserved. Fortunately there was a free table available. We had drinks and a main course. The food was excellent. I had the steak pie, all good quality meat with no fat or gristle. My brother in law had the fish and chips, also excellent. Our partners both had the scampi, which was also tasty. The staff were friendly and efficient. I would definitely book in advance at weekends and during the holiday season.

We arrived at tea time on sunday, a bank holiday. Sat at a table outside as we had a small dog with us and it was far too hot to leave him in the car. When we went in for menus the man refused to serve us food outside, despite a waitress serving a tray with tea cups and lots to the table beside us. Not what you expect of highland hospitality. On a plus note we went up the street to Victoria 's tearoom and they even let the dog inside and served us a lovely meal.

Sat outside this place for a drink on a sunny day and it was nice to watch the traffic and tourists go by however warm sunny days like that are infrequent in Ballater. Inside the bar was rather drab and totally empty. Perhaps it gets busy in the evenings but there was nothing there to make me want to return. Even the staff were rather quiet in comparison to what we found in other places. Prices or drinks were ok.

On entering The Alexandra we found that the restaurant was closed and that they were only serving food in the bar area, which was fine by us. There aren't many tables so we had to wait to get seated. Again, didn't bother us. The bar takes up most of the space here with one row of two-top tables running alongside and a handful of larger tables at each end of the room. There was a tv on with no sound. In fact the whole place was quiet. A bit of background music wouldn't go amiss if you ask me. The man of the house took our order with very little to say. I chose haddock and the wife had scampi, which was served by a lady with nothing to say. During our meal my wife asked the man for an extra pot of tarter sauce, to which he replied 'sure' but never delivered. I gave her mine. Both dishes were okay. The plates were taken away by a silent lady, then I asked the man for our check and again he said 'sure' but never brought it. Another lady appeared behind the bar who my wife asked for the check, which was pleasantly provided coupled with a friendly chat about Ballater and the surrounding area. All in all the overall visit was satisfactory but could do with a little more atmosphere and little more conversation.

We were staying in Ballater for a week and went here on our second night and ended up going 3 times during the week as we enjoyed the food,the hand pulled beer and the excellent service so much. We were made very welcome by the staff and as the place was very busy and we were a group of five we sometimes sat at the bar for drinks while a table became available. Between the five of us we tried most things on the mains menu and the food was excellent and service was very good with all of us enjoying all our meals, the Haddock and chips probably been the most popular although the chicken breast stuffed with black pudding and wrapped in bacon was my favourite. We did eat at other places during our week there but the Alexandra was in my opinion the best. We didn’t book a table but each time we visited it was busy and we were made very welcome by the staff and they were very professional in the manner in which they would advise you how long you may have to wait for a table to become available but it’s well worth the wait.

This rather unassuming and quiet Hotel is perched at the end of the High Street in Ballater just before the bridge over the River Dee. We ate twice in the lounge bar of this hotel and both nights were blown away by the welcome we received, the lady that served us and the food that was cooked for us. Compliments were sent to the Chef on both evenings and we came away saying that the Steak and Ale pie was the best we had ever had. The pie came in a pie dish with puff pastry lid, the dish was full to the brim of perfectly cooked beef in a rich ale gravy. Beef and gravy - perfect consistency of gravy, lovely taste of the ale and beef that melted in your mouth. The puff pastry lid was equally delicious - not too flaky, not too dry, perfect. Served with a choice of potato (we chose mash) and peas and carrots. You may think this is a simple dish, which perhaps it is, but when simple is done really really well - it equals perfection. Go to this Hotel, eat the pie, you will not be disappointed. The lady that served us was so very friendly and efficient - the whole experience was a joy.

We had a very nice meal at the Alexander hotel, we wanted to eat in the restaurant but it was not open that evening so we reluctantly ate in the lounge bar, We were pleasantly surprised because it was a quite atmosphere and laid out pretty well for dining. We both had the steak pie with vegetables and mash. The food was excellent, plenty of meat in the pie and very tasty wholesome vegetables. A single main course had us full so we cannot comment on the other courses, I am pretty sure they would have been a good standard. The service throughout our visit was very friendly.

We all had the fish and chips on a recommendation and it was great. The restaurant wasn't opened so we ate at the small tables in the pub. It was perfect for our expectation level. Hot, fresh, well cooked fish and chips. The staff were very accommodating (albeit a little stressed when we turned up without booking), but they managed to turn it around and sort us out before the kitchens closed at 8.30pm. Job well done.

After the busy Ballater Games, finding a good place to eat, not filled with tourists, was difficult. Luckily, a short walk to the river brought me to Alexandra Hotel, where the crowd was a pleasant mix of locals, families and a few tourists.

The hotel has a decent, straight forward bar in the centre of Ballater. Three real ales on, all from the Cairngorm Brewery when I visited. We didn't eat or stay in the hotel, but the landlady was very friendly.

We visited this restaurant for an evening meal. We had the Jumbo Haddock and thick cut chips. It was absolutely delicious, the fish was the freshest and best tasting fish we have had anywhere. We would thoroughly recommend it. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Quiet pub belonging to the hotel. Food was very tasty, and we felt welcome. Excellent value for money.

its a pleasant restaurant in this hotel and the prices are very good value. The lentil soup to begin was very tasty as were the garlic mushrooms on toast. We both had the steak and ale pie which had a deep rich flavour and a large crusty topping. It's good honest home cooked food at a very good price. We also received some local knowledge as to what to see in the area etc.

Would like to say the food was lovely but never got chance to taste Placed order on phone and was told 15 minutes I arrived in shop 15 minutes later told young lad that I was there to collect order I got a blank gaze off him and he repeated what I said and continued on with what he was doing There where 2 other staff in the shop and they also ignored me I've been in chip shops all over the UK and can honestly say ghis is by far the worst I have been in for service I waited 10 minutes and left

I've had numerous meals and drinks in The Gordon Highlander and always found them to be very good. With one exception. Out of all the Wetherspoon's the only one I'd complain about is the Inverurie one. The reason is the chips are always Luke warm at best. Never hot. A shame really as I'd give them 5 stars otherwise for food and drink.
