The Albert Hotel Restaurant in Aberdeenshire

Made to feel welcome by friendly staff. Delicious food of a high standard and great value. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Friendly staff. Relaxing atmosphere. Amazing food. Fish was fantastic. Fresh. Local. Delicious. What more could you ask for?

Great simple, cheap for what you get, affordable and fresh quality food. Couldn’t fault. Another great local establishment and good service and Scottish fayre.

We went here for afternoon tea following an overpriced experience elsewhere. Friendly welcome, comfortable chairs and a fire - we were off to a good start. Terri the owner brought through a plate of fresh sandwiches, a plate of savoury rolls , then scones and pancakes followed by a cake stand with small cakes. We could have as much tea and coffee as we wanted and Terri came through to check that we had everything we needed. Excellent value for money and just the place to spend a dank day in October.

Went for a 40th birthday family meal with 11 of us it was fantastic. Not one complaint all said fantastic. They couldn't do enough for us even came with a candle for birthday girl and sang happy birthday. The young girl waitresses where excellent.They even gave us sticky toffee pudding even though it was not on the menu. Will definitely go back and would highly recommend.

I booked rooms at The Albert Hotel for my colleagues who were working in the area over a period of weeks. The owners/staff have been beyond accommodating, I have spoken with Terry on a few occasions & she has always been helpful and went out of her way to make the guys stay enjoyable. They have raved about the place! If I ever need to book somewhere in the Peterhead area for personal or business reasons, I will not hesitate to contact Terry.

I had already eaten in the Bothy Bar which I had really enjoyed, and knew this was from the same kitchen. I thought the menu wasn't really interesting enough for a hotel. My main of smoked haddock and poached egg was all right, but unremarkable.

Food served here is excellent quality and the service is great. Great ambience and the coal fires are on when it’s chilly.

I love eating here, it has a very cosy atmosphere and the food is always great. Right in the heart of town and easy to get parked.

Great food at Albert Hotel Lunchtime. They have a good varied menu but a little bit of fish and chips is just great. Excellent staff and a lovely warm atmosphere with a coal fire on its a must in Peterhead

We always have a meal at this hotel when in Peterhead. This year we all decided on the sirloin steak which was excellent as always. We cannot fault this restaurant at all - the food is always well cooked and tasty and the staff are always very helpful and friendly. Even the drinks are very reasonably priced and are cheaper than you would expect to pay in a hotel.

The variety and quality of the food was second to none. So much food I didn't need to eat for rest of day. Excellent value for money at £10 per person

Have gone here for lunch with the gals from work before. The lunch menu isn't extensive and is more that I would like to pay for lunch. But the atmosphere is nice.

First time here and already booked again in June. For £10 a head the amount of food, choice and quality was first class. Service was first class with very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

We had afternoon tea at the Albert Hotel in Peterhead today and I cannot recommend it to potential visitors enough. There was lots of tea and coffee (and we can drink tea) and the selection of cakes, sandwiches,scones, pancakes and warm savoury pastries was excellent and certainly more than we could eat. But no worries the leftovers were all boxed up so we could take them home. It was a lovely afternoon and all for the very reasonable price of £10. Certainly good value and lovely room all to ourselves.

Such a welcoming hotel and restaurant . From the minute you walk in and sit at the cosy coal fire with milky coffees and home made fudge , then through to a lovely warm room again with coal fire to a lovely meal with very attentive and friendly staff . First class service at very reasonable prices. Could not fault them at all. Will definitely be going back.

Abbiamo provato il pranzo di lavoro e merita! Ottimo servizio e ottimo cibo, non posso che consigliarlo.

Visited as a couple. We booked a table but didn't really to as the place was empty.We were shown to our table by a very nice waitress .The menu was quite good and our food was served quite quickly.It was nice and hot and tasty.On the downside was the decor. It is very old fashioned and dated. This place defenetly needs a face lift and some t.l c.We intended going back with my family but decided against it as it looks so drab.

Después de leer las críticas, decidimos comer aquí. No tener un arranque ya que no era mucho en el menú a nuestro gusto, así que pedimos un plato principal, el abadejo y langostinos. Todavía estábamos esperando después de 45 minutos y cuando llegó el pescado estaba recocido y las patatas aún duras, así que me decidí a enviarlo. Unfortunatey, no pudimos esperar más para obtener más comida, así que pagamos nuestra factura del bar y tuve que salir. El joven cocinero sí y pido disculpas a nosotros.

Slightly more expensive than some locals in Peterhead but the food and service are always excellent.

Ate here as I was staying at the Albert, food was good, well prepared and presented and plentiful. Dining times seemed flexible which may only have been for residents but was very welcome.

came here for an organised birthday meal. there was about 15 family members and a couple of kids.we were in a room all to our selves, we had a 3 course lunch followed with tea/coffee and fudge. the meal was fabulous massive portions and only £25 a head, was well worth it would highly recommend it

Mi esposa y yo estábamos invitados aquí para una comida para celebrar el cincuentenario la boda de un amigo. Había 8 personas atendiendo y todo el mundo tenía una comida de primera clase con un servicio excelente. Recomendaría el cangrejo y salmón ahumado caliente de arranque. El principal campo de recomendaría la parrillada mixta, por el precio que pagué la cantidad de comida en el plato era excepcional. No puedo esperar para volver a este restaurante.

Un hotel excelente local con un ambiente muy agradable y un personal amable. Buena calidad ofertas de almuerzo a precios muy competitivos. Pizcas casero con té/café es para morirse si tienes un diente dulce.

Este es un lugar encantador para un almuerzo con amigos. El servicio es muy amable y la comida muy buena.

Lovely place for lunch. Small hotel but very cozy. Food delicious and service good. Give it a try. I go regularly with friends. It was very busy last week so it is advisable to book.

Great place for lunch if you find yourself in Peterhead. Hidden away but well worth finding. Good choice of food, lovely and attentive staff, and great fudge with the coffee.

Always lovely food anytime we have been to the Albert. Seated very quickly! Certain Staff can be slightly abrupt could definitely be abit friendlier and would more than likely have a better atmosphere, it's a shame when other staff are so polite and friendly. Good prices aswell

They were kind enough to stay open for us when we arrived late. The lamb was excellent. The staff is considerate and helpful. Wonderful fireplace and a very cozy room. Very reasonable prices. A highlight of our trip!!!

Had a lovely, relaxing lunch. I had the fishy salad, with crayfish, prawns and hot smoked salmon. The presentation was a bit strange but it was a nice salad. The selection of autumn puds was just too tempting and I had to have the banana waffles with toffee sauce, cream and icecream. The service was excellent, very friendly and not rushed.

Great place to pop in for a lunch or tea with fantastic staff and chef. meals are large well made and reasonably priced.

We used the Albert as we knew the service and the food would be good. There were 11 people and so we had a room to ourselves. The food was superb and the service could not be faulted. We had a really enjoyable evening.

Ate here with my wife and brother in law on a Saturday evening. On arrival we were shown to the bar and had drinks. Our orders were taken and we shown into the restaurant. I had the prawn platter for starter which was very good and followed that with lamb chops which again was very good. I can honestly say that the meal was very good and the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We would certainly visit again.

My friends and I decided to try the Albert for a mid week supper after hearing good reviews.I had booked through messenger (Facebook) and the booking was confirmed, however later that day I messaged again asking to change the time of the booking for half an hour later than I had originally booked. I never got. Reply but assumed it would be okay. When my friends and I arrived an elder woman met us at the door and barked "your late" I explained that I had messaged and changed the time of the booking, The woman was having none of it, saying "there is no record of the time being changed!" After being told where to go and sit The woman still bumped her gums about no record of time change. I took out my mobile and showed her the message I had sent which she wouldn't look at and STILL insisted that she knew nothing about a change of time, and informed us that if we had been a few minutes longer we wouldn't have got any food at all as the chef was getting ready to leave! The woman's attitude was very abrupt and NOT at all welcoming.3 of us agreed that the food was "nice and that there was plenty of it, however the 4th person had ordered chicken curry and it wasn't until she was nearly finished that she realised there were 2 different kinds of chicken in her curry, fresh chicken breast and processed chicken which u would buy in packs for sandwiches etc. My friend chose not to mention this as she thought it would be too much hassle and didn't want any arguments from the woman.Although this first experience was not the best I would go back and give the Albert another try.

Go here on a regular basis to meet up with friends.A good varied menu for lunch.Friendly staff.There fudge is the best i have ever tasted which you get with your tea and coffee.Nice desserts too

the venue were able to cater for our large group. e wanted a quick and easy lunch of Soup and Sandwiches and they were helpful with suggestions etc and everyone was happy the cost was great too

We went here for dinner to celebrate my granddaughters birthday, there was eight of us for the meal and we were not disappointed in any way. The service from the waiting staff was friendly and first class, as was the dinner. I would recommend the salmon dish and also the Gammon steak and pineapple dish both were excellent main courses. The starters and puddings were also very good. The ambience in the dining room with the coal fire was also brilliant. Will definitely return.

Visited with a group of co-workers for our Xmas lunch. Food was lovely, served piping hot. Even with the place being very busy, the service was prompt, friendly and obliging. Will definitely go back.

Once you go to the Albert you will want to return. Friendly staff and delicious food. Something different from the other eateries in Peterhead.

I've been here a few times, mostly for an evening meal. The menu changes each month which is great and the food is always good. My only criticism is that no matter what meal you order, it comes with the same sides. For example, I once ordered an Asian noodle dish and it arrived with dauphinoise potatoes and veg...very odd.

5 of my friends and I visited for Afternoon Tea and I can only say good things.The staff are all incredibley lovely and service is quick. The hotel itself is very quirky - quite like you've stepped into your great grandmothers living room, totally loved it!We firstly recieved a plate with sandwiches (ham & tomato, egg mayo and tuna) and another with sausage rolls and pizza whirls - all incredibley tasty especially the sausage rolls, and there was more than enough for the 6 of us.Next came a huge cake stand filled with cakes and then a separate basket with scones and pancakes accompanied by cream and jam!!All the food was just great, we all left full and it was only £10 each!!! Absolutely brilliant and we will all definitley be back!

My Partner, daughter and myself visited The Albert last Saturday, early evening. We were greeted quickly, and sat in the bar area with our 15 month old daughter and asked to wait until she 'found' us a table, the manager then came through and said oh no no you can't sit in here with a child and insisted we moved straight way, when we then said we were sat here by the waitress she said yes and I'm moving you to a table, I'm in charge here. Anyway, we sat and we ordered our daughters first - starter of garlic bread and main of sausages and mash.. The garlic bread came quickly, and was rock hard, her main then came and no exaggeration here the mashed potatoes looked like a plate of lumpy rice pudding and there was little chipolatas. It was edible and actually quite tasty, just presentation could definitely improve. We ordered ours, of starters - haggis and sweet potato Bon bons and a fish platter, they were both very tasty and presented well. I ordered the steak rare with hand cut chips and asked if they had any peppercorn sauce as it wasn't an option on the menu, she said the chef could make me one which he did and was very tasty. The steak was not rare, it was medium, and the way it was presented on the plate was awful, there was a side of cream cheese potatoes, new potatoes, vegetables, mushrooms, and what I'm presuming were supposed to be like onion rings, but looked like they'd been sitting in a fryer for 3 days, anyway the steak was too over done for me and I put it back, I said I didn't want another one I would just look at the dessert menu, the manager then came to my table rather rudely and said I tasted that steak and it was definitely rare next time you should order it blue. I proceeded to say that it wasn't rare it was medium and she continued to argue with me, all in all the food was a let down, as was the atmosphere and attitude of the manager. I absolutely would not go back and wouldn't recommend it.

This hotel is ideal for solo travellers especially if female. It is home from home and for once you don't feel out of place in the bar or dining area. Rooms are cosy but an adequate size. Food is lovely and reasonably priced so no need to leave after getting bck from a long day. All staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. Beats a large hotel hands down. And just to tempt you further the fudge they sell and serve with a cuppa is gorgeous.

Came here for my friend's birthday meal, and didn't have the best experience unfortunately! The menu was a bit limiting and for someone who eats out a lot, I found it really hard to find something on the menu to eat- as did my friends! We all ended up ordering more or less the same dish! When ordering our side portions it almost seemed as if it was a big deal to the waitress. We waited quite some time for our meal to arrive and then when it did, quite a few of us didn't enjoy it. Then when we asked to pay the bill separately it was another carry on! All in all, I wouldn't rush back here sadly.

Good location as close to town centre although may struggle to get parked on the street at the front. The dining areas are not the biggest so booking is definitely recommended – there is also a large room at the back which is great for booking out for private dining such as birthdays.The lunches we have had here have been perfect and on one occasion we also had an afternoon tea which was also super!!In terms of evenings, although they have a great menu and my meal has been fine every time, my partner and friends steaks have been wrong every time - why bother to ask how they want their steak cooked if they just bring it out the wrong way anyway? We pointed it out but said we were happy enough to just stick with what we were given rather than waste time swapping all the plates about (as the sauces on top of the steaks were all different we could not really correct the mistake ourselves). However one or two of the waitresses attitudes were quite rude and unprofessional, including one even mouthing off about one of the fact that one of our guy friends had said he was not happy with his steak being cooked wrong to the rest of the group!!It is one of the nicer places to eat out for dinner in Peterhead but a few improvements are needed.

My husband & I usually visit Matchmakers when in Kirkwall. It is relatively quiet & is suitable for the older generation. You can be assured of a fine menu & friendly staff,also we enjoy the swing music. Families are also welcome.The Chef makes a grand curry, one of it's attractions.So the next time you just want to chill, Matchmakers is the place.

Every single time I visit the quality is consistently high and the value unwavering. The menu changes on a monthly basis and there are always vegetarian options. An excellent wine list provides complimentary wines for every dish.

We had our staff outing there at Christmas, the service was good as was the food, they had festive masks on table and we had some fun with them. Over all a really good night. I have been there quite a few times since then and always had a good meal and attentive service. Would recommend.

This was my first visit to The Albert. A quaint hotel with quirky spaces. We had a warm welcome, perfect service, three courses of excellent food and plenty drinks served by a friendly waiter. Definitely be back.

Have used the Albert Hotel many many times and never been disappointed All foods local Vegetarian options also available with some notice given Recommend highly to family and friends

Excellent service, meal and value at The Albert Hotel. Friendly staff who make sure you feel welcome. I would recommend a meal there to all.

My wife and I have eaten here several times and each time it has been very good. Great atmosphere and as always the staff are excellent. Cannot understand some of the negative comments from some of the other reviewers. Keep up the good work.

We had breakfast here this morning while on tour with Opera Bohemia. It was absolutely brilliant. Good was gorgeous and huge portions. Service was very fast - and considering there were about 17 of us that was no mean feat! Staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble for them. If I'm back in Peterhead, we'll be staying here if possible too

Food bland & crammed onto little plate. Would not recommend plenty more better eateries & wish we had booked another hotel. We did hear bad reviews but thought we would try & it was horrible only good bit was a piece of fudge with my coffee.

Nice old fashioned restaurant, good menu with a great choice of unusual things, friendly staff & reasonable prices, I recommend you give it a try

The amount you get for your money is excellent and a wide selection is also available depending on what you are looking for. Staff and owners are very friendly and welcoming one of the best places to eat in Peterhead. Atmosphere is also welcoming and inviting always plenty people there, very popular place to eat either lunch, dinner or afternoon tea.

Husband's family came up for a visit and we went to The Albert for our evening dinner.Husband found it a little odd that we had to go in a separate room, and have a drink while we waited for our table- but having been before I assured him it was all part of the process.Had a drink in at the bar -admires the eclectic decor- and then went through to our table in a lovely warm well decorated room. Enjoyed a tasty and well prepared dinner with three courses- all decent portions but not gross, like some places in the NE of Scotland- and came to a decent price too.Well worth a visit.

I've been here for breakfast a few times. The chef and serving staff have been very welcoming without being in any way intrusive. Just right, very comfortable going here.The breakfast includes a cafetiere of coffee, toast with real butter and a bacon, sausages, egg, black pudding, beans, fried bread, etc. Quality ingredients properly cooked.On the most recent visit, I was in the "front room" dining room. Very homely eating environment with a real fire, ideal on a windy, rainy day. Unobtrusive background music.I'm happy to give this five stars.

Had a good afternoon at an intoxicating tea party. Food very good and plentiful. Nice friendly staff. Worth a visit.

This a little gem of a place to eat in Peterhead. The food is simple but very good and plenty of it. The staff are welcomeing and eager to please. The quirky teapots full of coctails are a great idea. I woulld recomend anyone staying in Peterhead to put this place on thier dining list.

We had a lovely meal . The food was lovely and the welcome warm! The only downside was a screaming toddler, and this was at 8pm! It would have been nice to have parties with children in a separate room.

Amazing food. Wonderful service. Lovely atmosphere. A real hidden gem on queens street peterhead. Also, they do cocktail teapots!!! A huge mixed cocktail of your choice in a massive teapot for only £10!!!!Brilliant place definitely going many more times!

Party of 4 went for dinner Saturday night. 2 had chicken marylands and 2 had chicken & pork strips with Stilton and walnut sauce. Chicken in the marylands was very dry and they came served with boiled salad potatoes and potatoes cooked in a cream sauce.... The party of 4 were also provided with a small pudding bowel of chips - frozen, not the norm for this place... They normally serve real chips..? The chicken and pork dish was a real disappointment, it had been pre cooked and kept warm this resulted in the meat being dry and the chicken stringy. The sauce didn't taste of Stilton at all... I actually wonder if there was any in it in the first place. Desserts were lovely according to my fellow diners... I didn't partake but the trio of ice cream was massive and topped with a strawberry dipped in white chocolate while the ban offer and waffle cheese cake was appreciated by the others. Food on Saturday night was not of the standard normally served here.

The albert is my favourite place for lunch in Peterhead, portions are perfect sized and don't leave you feeling bloated. The twice i have went for supper it has been top quality food served with a smile in a cozy relaxing atmosphere.

Enjoyable pleasant staff good food plenty generally a nice place. I would recommend anyone to go there.

Can't fault the food, or the service...Good price to...would recommend. Will be back time and time again.

Let me get this in from the start, if it wasn't for having to wait 45mins - no exaggeration exactly 45 minutes from asking for the bill (we asked 6 times) till we got it, I would have given a 5 overall. The initial service was great and the food was amazing, I had the sirloin steak rare & it was cooked to perfection. I could have accepted a 20-25 minute delay in the bill coming because they were busy, but 45 minutes is verging on unacceptable. Great food though.

I meet my friends on a regular basis. More often than not we order the steak which never fails to please .The restaurant is small and homely and the staff are extremely friendly. This restaurant is well worth a visit.

The food is delicious and the service is excellent. We ate here and our meals were lovely. The menu changes monthly, and there is a good selection of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. Everything is freshly cooked, and the portions are generous. There is a kids menu, and half portions of the main meals are also available. The restaurant is fairly small so I'm glad we booked, The decor is nice, and I can imagine it'd be really cosy on a rainy winter's night! It's so nice to find such a delightful establishment in Peterhead.

My husband and I often have lunch at the Albert and have never been disappointed.Good soups and a lovely selection of wraps and sandwiches. My favourite however has to bethe fishcakes - really tasty and always piping hot.

Had a steak, one of the best if not the best meals I have ever had. The way I liked my steak cooked is medium rare (more on rare side) this was cooked perfect.Starter was fantastic as well. Only had prawn cocktail but again delicious with just the right portion.Have eaten here on three occasions now as a couple and in a group and never a complaint.Well done to Chef and owners.

Food is always excellent, and the Albert looks amazing, with helpful and friendly staff, a great place for accommodation as well.

Good food and able to accommodate food allergies and intolerances. Small dining room and quiet mid week.Helpful and attentive staff.

This is a very nice old hotel but the food is modern and very nice. I would definitely recommend here for a dinner with friends. I wouldn't say it is a romantic place to go for dinner with a loved one as the restaurant is quite small and the other food area is next to the bar, so it can be noisy, but the food is tasty!

We regularly go in for lunch, and the occasional evening meal. Great value for money. A beautiful cosy environment to be with open fires. Service always prompt and friendly, highly recommend.

My favourite place to eat in Peterhead.Always something unusual on the menu.Super quick serviceGreat value.Have been many times and never disappointed.

Excellent meal at the albert staff very friendly and helpfull defo go back and good banter after our meal 12 of us enjoyed ourselfs

great place local friendly staff very clean ideal location
