Falls of Feugh Restaurant & Function Suite in Aberdeenshire

We came here while staying in Banchory as we had seen good reviews.The food did not disappoint.The only negative I have is perhaps it was the time we went (7) But felt a little rushed.We had 3 courses and wine and honestly could have been out in an hour.

Amazing food. We both had the fish of the day - cod. It was exceptional. Very high standard. I am coeliac so my dish had slight alterations but this made me even more confident in the food and the chef.

Visited again... Didn't finish my dish. Huge portion for 17.50 ‼️

Superb food! If you haven't been, you need to go there.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch at this beautifully situated establishment today. The food was was well cooked, served promptly and expertly by a knowledgeable waitress. Well done to all the staff coping with a busy lunchtime crowd

Beautiful setting for this restaurant in a converted cottage. Food is excellent and well presented.

We ate here a few years ago when in the area, as in the area again we visited and were not dissapointed. Allowing our well behaved dog to sit outside on the terrace with us was a bonus, unfortunately not many place are dog friendly and can loose business because of this. Sitting in the warm sunshine our food arrived hot, tasty, fresh and well presented. The service was good with friendly helpful staff. Here is welll worth a visit, although maybe worth booking as busy,

It is more than 30 years since we were last in Banchory and it was a pleasant surprise to see this restaurant across the road at the popular tourist attraction. We all had a little lunch, beautifully presented and tasted fresh and home made. Service was very good and it was a bonus to sit outside on the terrace on a warm and sunny day. Recommended

This is a beautiful restaurant next to an amazing waterfall. The food is fantastic . A main course was 20 pound but so well worth it . The staff are lovely and work really hard . When visit again

Lovely place to eat and nice surroundings. Staff friendly, polite and helpful

A really enjoyable lunch in a picturesque spot. Friendly service and really tasty food. The Sunday Roast Beef was excellent and the puddings are well worth leaving room for!

We recently celebrated my son's birthday at The Falls of Feugh Restaurant, and it was an outstanding experience. The food was excellent, with generous portions at reasonable prices. I had the duck, and it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was perfect for our celebration, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The service was really good, making sure all ten of us were well taken care of throughout the evening. If you're looking for a place with great food, a lovely setting, and excellent service, The Falls of Feugh Restaurant is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

Amazing cakes forms, tastes and colour.. spot on, really nice everything!

Lovely restaurant, gorgeous views when sitting outside, see picture. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Stop by chance on the road to Balmoral We had lunch without reservation Impeccable welcome and very good and varied cuisine

Stopped by for lunch today and were warmly welcomed by the brilliant staff. I opted for the Balmoral chicken which was a definite 10/10, the flavours of the dish were perfect along with the presentation. My wife had the risotto which again was full of flavour and perfectly done. We followed with a banana sponge for myself and a pana cotta for my wife, both deserts were incredible and would highly recommend either. This place is an absolute gem, the staff, the atmosphere, the setting and of course the food is on another level.

Nous nous sommes arrêtés par hasard sur la route de Balmoral Nous avons pu déjeuner sans réservation, la personne de l accueil s est débrouillé pour nous avoir une table. Le personnel impeccable et souriant, les plats très bons et bien présentés. Un excellent rapport qualité prix

Compliments to the chef ! Beautiful meal from start to finish.Friendly helpful staff and lovely views of the river. Would highly recommend.

Popped in for a coffee and cake with a friend. Coffee was lovely and the chocolate and date cake was delicious. Staff were very attentive and didn’t rush us out the door. A lovely experience.

Lovely setting, good food and service

We had some unexpected time to kill due to bad weather so decided to have lunch here. We were both very glad we did. Lovely food in a lovely place with great service and at a reasonable price. What more could you want?

Had coffees and cakes here today. Coffee were lovely, cake was delicious and the service was fantastic. Recommended.

Hidden gem! This has got to be the best vegan afternoon tea so far! Lovely place in a stunning location! On the banks of the river Dee and next to the falls of Feugh. I called to view the venue for an event and to have afternoon tea. At around ten pm one weekend I tried to change the booking to add more people and the owners noticed and called me. They were so friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate us by moving table bookings around. Owners and staff were so friendly and welcoming on the day. Very relaxing experience and enjoyable afternoon tea for all 6 of us plus the toddler! This venue can cater for different events including weddings. Versatile space and lovely outdoor terrace overlooking the river. There is a corkage charge but all prices are included in the information provided and the owners are flexible to accommodate all needs.

Had 4 course lunch which was excellent, starter, veloute, main, desert with coffee and chocolate to finish. Every course was delicious and very well presented. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Value for money was also great.

Had an absolutely wonderful early dinner last night Sat 30 March. Seated at a table with a spectacular view of the river. Our server Nina was delightfully friendly , chatty and super attentive. The atmosphere at Falls of Feugh is welcoming and warm with beautiful views. Lovely African hospitality with a great menu. We had the North Sea Hake & Southern fried chicken mains. The food is very well presented and flavorful. Portions are good, pricing is reasonable. A pleasure to visit, thank you guys, we had a lovely evening with you all and will certainly be back for more. Highly recommended!

The falls of frugh at Banchory what a setting WOW , No one to meet greet and seat , after asking for the toilet was told it was round the corner or follow the smell ? My Husbund and myself had a nice latte as did my Sister and Brother in law , the carrot cake was to die for , however the all butter shortbread was not short bread but 3 little flat biscuits £1.50 it was very disappointing I expected a lot more it is after all Scotland is the home of Shortbread I did take this up with the waitress who seemed to not to have a clue very disappointed won’t be recommending nor revisiting again 👎

I was there for lunch. Very tasty food. Friendly staff and, like almost everywhere in Scotland, dogs are welcome. Prices are ok.

A lovely meal, carefully prepared. Excellent staff, most welcoming.

Enjoyed a wonderful 90th birthday celebration. Stunning location, extremely pleasant team, efficient and organised and the food was amazing. Superb menu and really excellent quality meal.

A brilliant menu and fabulous food choices

Oh my goodness, this was such a lovely experience and we are so glad we got booked in for lunch. The staff, the location and the food was superb, faultless!! What a great time we had. We've been raving about the quality of the food and overall visit since. Highly recommended a visit.

Second visit and enjoyed a lovely lunch. Very tasty indeed. Starter, main course and dessert. Great food, great service, good value and beautiful setting. We will be back soon.

Popped in for a light lunch after walking up Scolty. Lunch was absolutely lovely, served by a brilliant member of staff. Friendly , professional and welcoming. Was given a lovely seat by the window. Would definitely recommend.!!!

Idyllic table overlooking the River Dee, which was bathed in sunshine. Stunning setting. Our server was extremely attentive and very friendly. She would brighten up anyone’s day. The food was delicious and nicely presented. Very reasonably priced for the quality of the produce. It was busy but not noisy so there was a lovely atmosphere. We did not feel rushed to leave after our lunch. We would definitely return.

Beautiful surroundings, rather noisy room, good food, kind but not very professional service.

Dramatic location for a quick lunch so we only had sandwiches and soup both delicious and served by attentive staff.

Nice place to have a coffee or lunch.

Very reasonable price, tasty dish.

They have the best sconces ,jam and cream that I have tasted , the staff are very pleasant and a quick service . Will be back to eat them again when I'm back in Aberdeen xx

Amazing location next to the falls, great food and service.

Definitely recommend the restaurant 👌

Really lovely place and the gluten free lemon drizzle cake was beautiful

A cosy, special place to visit. Not only is the food delicious and the service and atmosphere inviting, the surrounding area and falls and stream are so beautiful. Just sitting having a coffee and looking outside on a grey wet day seeing the beauty, feeding the body, mind and soul. A huge favourite for us and so pleased we have discovered this little piece of heaven.

Located on a pretty waterfall, the restaurant is magnificent. The menu is composed of typically Scottish dishes, fresh and refined. The service and prices are proportional to this quality, even if I find the 10 pound glass of wine a little expensive...

Good quality food, great surroundings and service.

Stopped in for tea n coffee (coffee machine was broken 😔) and ice cream floats for the kids, we sat out on the balcony which is beautiful.

Very pleasant place for lunch, overlooking the river. Good food, very nice staff and well worth another visit.

Fantastic food and the service was friendly and accommodating. Beautiful setting for a restaurant.

The service and food were amazing. The atmosphere is relaxed and the menu is beautifully curated

Only nipped in for a shandy nice place

We had absolutely stunning food here whilst visiting Scotland, such a high quality and perfectly balanced flavours. The staff also went above and beyond to help us get sorted with a taxi when everywhere was booked up, we were so grateful and couldn't tip much as they only take cash tips and we were all on card - so go, have a great meal, and tip extra on our behalf!

We booked for Sunday Roast, and I have to say the food was superb, and the setting of the restaurant stunning. The Roast Sirloin of beef was tender and cooked to perfection and the accompanying vegetables delicious. We also had dessert crème brûlée and treacle tart. The whole dining experience was excellent. Attentive and welcoming staff. I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful scenery during lovely weather. Coffee, cakes and scone were delish, and not so expensive too for two people. Didn’t know it existed but will definitely come back.

Lovely food great atmosphere with space to sit outside and enjoy the surroundings

Perfect comfortable and beautiful place! Disabled access and food is amazing! Will definitely be back!

Lovely spot, great ambiance. Didn't eat but coffee was great.

My wife's 60th birthday with all the family. Tables are a little small for large groups. Sit outside if allowed overlooking the river.

Amazing Cullen skink soup. Staff very friendly. Great place

Sunday Roast Beef lunch. Some of the best roast beef we have had in all our years, pink and tender with first class accompanying vegetables. Perfect service from friendly staff. Great value too

Dropped in for a coffee and a scone, fast service and friendly staff

Highly recommended this restaurant, just been to lunch, every course really tasty, just the right size portions...apart from dessert which defeated me by its giant portion!!

Really loved it. Out of the way, but worth the trip. Great staff and delicious food.

Xmas lunch here today. Just lovely. Food was fantastic and service to match. Thank you all so much for making our Christmas special.

Lovely food and staff extremely helpful and nice. Loved the place and will be back

Lovely food and great service, great with visiting family as special location.

Lovely lunch in a beautiful setting by the River.

Had a really good night here at a Wedding Reception Service and Atmosphere was really good 👍

good british grub here warm and friendly folks

Excellent meal with the bonus of the falls just round the corner where you can watch the salmon jump if the time is right.

Lovey place great afternoon tea, guarantee you will like it as well.

Really friendly and helpful staff. They accomodated us well even on a busy sunday, since there was a slight issue with the reservation. Food was great. I got the chicken and the Jus was absolutely delicious. 10/10 would recommend it.

A lovely friendly shop with many locally manufactured products with a cosy restaurant, well worth a visit.

Great food, amazing views (we stayed on the terrace), kind staff although short so booking in advance would be appreciated

A beautiful location and delicious food.

Had coffee and a lovely newly baked scone,cream and jam . Beautiful surroundings and friendly service

Lots of items not available on the menu

Lovely!! Had a really tasty afternoon tea, vegetarian and gluten-free

Beautiful indoors and out, reasonably priced too x

Excellent lunch .Very efficient waitress Will definitely be back.

We enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch as an early birthday treat!

Food was excellent, although the menu was a bit limited. Staff were super friendly and efficient.

We dined there twice whilst holidaying in area. Was best food in a restaurant I have had for a very long time. Lovely mix of good ingredients and excellent recipes. The place is not pretentious but very good and the service always comes with a big smile.

The best place in Banchory for a family meal, have eaten here many times and the food and service has always been excellent

A bad experience that just keeps getting worse. We made the mistake of making dinner reservations to dine here several weeks before our trip to Scotland in May. The day of our reservation the restaurant emailed us to say there was only one other couple (with a child) coming in that day and would we move our reservation to the same time they were coming. Shortly after, they emailed again to say they were now without power and were canceling our reservation in a very curt manner. We were out touring all day and got both emails when back at the hotel. We now had to scramble to find a place to have dinner. The point of the reservation is to avoid that, so we were understandably annoyed. The next day while chatting with a couple at a castle, they said they had lunch at the Falls of Feugh the day before. We told them how our reservation was canceled for that very night because they were without power. This couple said they had power when they were there and also that they tried to make a reservation for dinner that night, and were told the restaurant was closed for a private event, a wake. They tried to make reservations for dinner a couple of other nights and were told there were wakes every night. When we arrived home I wrote my honest experience on another review site. A couple of days later I received a long, ranting, YELLING email from the restaurant about how angry they were for me to question their professionalism and complain about them canceling my reservation. If I had printed this thing out it would have been a couple of pages long. Long, ranting, unprofessional, rude and dishonest email. They said the reason they had emailed to get me to come in early was FOR MY BENEFIT, as it would be more atmospheric to dine with other diners and because that couple had a young child they couldn’t move their booking. Nothing says romantic dinner like a screaming toddler. I believe they wanted to change my reservation so that they could close early to not staff the restaurant all night for 2 tables, and that is understandable. Why tell such an outrageous lie about it. But it doesn’t matter, because the point of my review is that they canceled my reservation and left us scrambling and if we had it to do all over again we would have booked someplace else and given this place a pass. I decided to take the high road and not respond to their email. Today, I get another random email from them, this one from another person forwarding me an email from someone else. It has been over 2 weeks since the reservation they refused to honor and they are still harassing me. They wouldn’t fill my belly, but they sure are filling my inbox. From looking at other reviews on several sites, it seems a lot of people complain that their reservations were not honored and they were not notified until the last minute, if at all. In the first rude email the snarky woman who wrote it asked what they could have done better. I’m sure the restaurant will be reading my review here and will send me lots of emails complaining about it. So here is my advice on what they can do better. Behave as thought other people’s time matters. Look at your reservations a week ahead of time to see if you mistakenly booked someone when you have a private event booked or if you have no other diners coming in that night and would like to close or reschedule. Not letting people know until the last minute is disrespectful of their time. And when you get a negative review, take it in and try to learn from it. Don’t lash out. Think of what you can do better and then try to be better. Don’t harass reviewers because they write an honest review. Demanding my time and attention when you wouldn’t even bother to honor my reservation is beyond unprofessional.

Had a really nice lunch in a gorgeous setting, great service also

Very good service and excellent meals with great choice

Food really good location stunning

Great food. Awful coffee. Feedback to management ignored.

Excellent private dinner Staff great and food delicious andl of good quality

Good food and good service. Beautiful location. Will definitely visit again.

Food was of great quality, very tasty, but the service was very disappointing today. The waitresses were not very knowledgeable, but they must have just started: hopefully they'll learn the job quickly! To finish the meal, two of us asked for ice-creams and one for a cappuccino. After asking again after 5-10 minutes, we had finished the ice-creams when the cappuccino eventually arrived! One of the ice-creams was served in a plastic tub, it didn't look very professional... Nor did the billing stage, as the very late cappuccino, which we were told wouldn't be charged, appeared on the bill so we had to discuss it again with the waiter! Not sure we'll be back...

Lovely food. Locally sourced, well presented and served by friendly and efficient staff.

Wonderful food. Delicious vegetarian choice. Really great selection of vegetables served with meals. Lovely service staff and beautiful location. Oh and desserts are just wonderful . Much more thought and attention paid to them compared to most restaurants. Can't recommend highly enough.

We stopped by for tea and coffee, and had some carrot cake and victoria sponge. If the weather allows, there are some tables to sit outside.

The restaurant was busy and coped well with a large family party. A good, expensive menu in a beautiful location.

The chef has some very strange ideas, some work others didn't. It was an extremely expensive mediocre wine list, Jay Rayner would not approve! The chef obviously doesn't run a tight and happy team- the waiting staff were very indifferent. The menu was unpriced, so we had to ask how much everything was, although it was on the dessert menu, but that was separate from the main menu. It's obviously changed hands since we were last there, two years ago. Wouldn't rush back.

Great location with a riverside terrace near the Falls. Good choice of courses and a specials menu. Food was all delicious and well presented - 4 of us had different meals and everyone was happy witb their selection. Friendly staff and good value for money. Will definitely return.

Very good food and service excellent.

The Falls are the main attraction here, see the Salmon return from Atlantic to river they were born. Nice walks in area. Nice but expensive restaurant.

Lovely location. Verry good food. Friendly and professional staff. 10/10
