Tiger Hill Beach Cafe in Aberdeenshire

We found this cafe in Sept 2023 while on holiday in the area for 2 weeks. We ate here alot, so again this year for our 2024 holiday we have visited numerous times. We always sit outside in the corner with our dog. To start it is close to beach, car park and access to bus stops if you were on public transport. The views are amazing hench we love coming even on a windy day. We always have the toasties, wraps and soup with a sweet treat to follow. The food is well good. Great prices Clean and tidy, friendly staff x We notice as well its always busy so we obviously arent the only ones who like it. Thanks to the staff for the amazing service xx

Popped in while travelling. Very good all-round. Service was quick and polite. Food was lovely, we had fish and chips and scampi and chips with a cup of tea.

Bar sulla spiaggia, con buon cibo e servizio cortese e attento! Punto di forza i tavolini esterni che danno sulla spiaggia per godersi un pranzo al sole sul mare

Took our visiting family for lunch. The food was excellent but the service was awful. We waited ages, then the meals came one at a time with no cutlery. The waitresses were rushing about all over the place, doing a bit of this or that. The queue at the ice cream counter was also where you had to order your food, so we all had to wait for ages, while toddlers picked the ice cream flavours of their choice, before we could order our meals. We had to ask for cutlery after a couple of minutes because our food was going cold. They forgot two of us, so by the time their meals turned up, the rest of us had finished. Then, of course, another long wait at the ice cream counter to pay. What a shame, because the food realky was lovely.

Lunch for 11 of us was exceptional! Came in while visiting the area. Seated promptly at 2 tables of 4 inside & 3 plus the dog outside. The serving girls were absolutely lovely, friendly, smiley & helpful. Our food was delicious, especially want to rave about my soup & (very large) scone. Best scone I have ever tasted & I have tasted many 😊. Good price & well worth it. Typical beach front cafe & I wasn't expecting much, but I was blown away by the service & quality of food. A wee gem of a place 10 out of 10 !!!

Good location (with some parking). Could be really nice on a lovely day. The food was a bit of a mixture. Full marks for real chips, not fries. The fish was good, but for me an excess of batter. The peas were hard. A welcome surprising extra of a small salad. A touch tricky to eat as the cheap foreign crockery wobbled.

Terrible service. Ordered a gluten free scone and couldn’t cut it in half. Waited 35 minutes for a replacement and gave up. Asked three times for cream for a normal scone even though it was a scone with jam and cream that was ordered. They were busy but not really an excuse.

The menu is quite good. Staff seem rushed, hence the time taking to serve us when seated. Food was hot and portion sizes ample. My biggest gripe is the smell of your clothes after visiting. They have an extraction system, but it seems to never be on. Out for a nice lunch but come home stinking of cooking.

I ordered fish and chips at a steep £12.95 for a basic cafe meal. I honestly thought I was just eating breadcrumbs, the fish was so small and thin inside. Very little taste and very dry going, it was terrible. I made the best of it but informeḍ the lady when we were leaving how sparse it was. Way too much was charged for it - a rip off to be accurate, so we won't go back.

We had visited the Lighthouse museum but their cafe was shut. We stumbled on this cafe in passing. The cafe was clean and decor and tables were very fresh and clean. We snacked on tea, milk shake, a pancake baked to order and a tray bake. Food was tasty and very reasonably priced. Staff were friendy, helpful and efficient. I sometimes think beach cafes are to be avoided. Our experience in this one disproves that. Recommended.

We used to come to the area quite regularly to walk our dog along the dunes and then pop in to the cafe for a fly cup. We lost our wee friend a while back but today decided to go to the Broch and as I've a birthday coming up my wife treated us both to lunch at the cafe seeing as we had time to spend with not having our dog. I had lentil soup my wife had prawn cocktail,then we both had the chicken fillets and finished off sharing the delicious creme egg cheesecake. Lovely food and generous helpings and the staff were all friendly and attentive. Good value for money to. Only wee thing was, we found the cafe a bit chilly but this was only because so many customers were coming in and out (which is what the place obviously wants) and our table was facing the door. It was a cold day and nothing the staff could have done. We will be back.

Was there for the second time . Food really good all fresh cooked. Staff lovely a bit slow taking the order . Apart from that everything else first class

We toyed with not going it…it looks very basic. Food was simple but fresh and well prepared. Staff were very attentive and efficient. I was having lunch when taking Covid swabs in the community, and was hungry, but on a timeline to the next appointment. It is also a really vibrant environment….Broughers all go here…

Any time I'm in Fraserburgh I go to the Tiger Hill Cafe for the pancakes. They are the best pancakes i have had from any cafe. For £2.95 you get two large freshly made pancakes with butter and jam. Very tasty.

Hard to find, as it's called The Beach Cafe. Warm, friendly place , with good menu, tasty food, and reasonable prices.

Lovely beach side cafe. The batter on my haddock was so light and crisp. The chips were served in a basket, portion size was just right. Service was excellent and the lunch for 5 was great value.

The weather was absolutely shocking today so when we chanced upon this cafe we were relieved to get inside away from the rain and wind. As soon as we went in, we were greeted really cheerfully by our young waitress and given our menu. We just wanted coffee and something sweet and there was a great choice. My strawberry tart was big with lots of cream and 2 big strawberries and the cappuccino delicious - and I’m fussy about my coffee. The food and drinks came quickly and again the waitress was warm and friendly. I read that the owners are quite new and wish them every success and highly recommend the cafe and also a walk on the beautiful beach ( if it’s not too windy!!)

We had drinks and cakes after a walk along the lovely beach. The staff are very friendly and gave great service. The cakes are excellent.

I had lunch here today. It was really busy, so it must be good. I think most people were there for ice cream as it was a sunny day at the beach. I had a cheese & ham panini to takeaway. It was absolutely delicious. It came with some crisps and coleslaw on the side. The price was £6.95 which was quite expensive for what you get (see photo) but it did taste yummy. I would definitely come back again.

Looking for somewhere for a quick lunch, I decided to give this place try. Service was really friendly if a little slow but with the fantastic view, I was occupied. My prawn Marie rose wrap was lovely and was accompanied by creamy coleslaw and a small cup of soup which was a nice touch. I also had a great coffee.

Slow 20 minutes to actually take our order despite asking and being growled at by a passing waitress ..when we finally recieved our food it wasn't very hot and the eggs weren't cooked .. such a shame as when it was the previous owner the food the staff and service were great .. but won't be back

Had a lovely afternoon tea and.the selection was great, even the kids tea was superb. Would recommend. The choices of food and the service was excellent

The cafe is situated by the seafront, with beautiful views across the bay. There is a small amount of parking nearby. The cafe is deceptively large inside with numerous tables in an airy atmosphere. We ordered drinks and a couple of scones. The scones were tasty without being too fancy. The hot drinks were perfectly adequate. The items were reasonably priced and represented good value.

This is well worth a visit, so clean with very friendly staff that would do anything to help out.It was a really wet miserable day when my friend and I went, but this place had a warm cosy feel to it.Everything was very reasonably priced and delicious. 5 stars for staff and food.

This cafe is under new management and the name has been changed toThe Beach Cafe. It is run by a young woman called Claire and it is her and her mum that make all the baking that you see on sale and one of the staff does the cooking. The young staff are all very friendly and efficient and you can see that they want to please there customers so that they will return again. There is free parking outside and there are beautiful views of the beach, sand dunes and the sea from the entrance to the cafe and a nice prom for a stroll. I was in there on Tuesday the 19th of November for lunch around 1pm my friend and I were lucky enough to get the last table. Its a busy cafe which is very popular with the locals which is always a good sign. They have a menu with a good choice of hot and cold food and lots of drinks. They also have a specials board on the wall. We both had the chicken and cheese wrap with chilli sauce and it was served with home made fries and coleslaw it was just delicious and really hit the spot!We both had a coffee to warm us up as it was a cold day outside. I had a latte and it was served in a nice glass mug and my friend had a cappuccino. The coffee is very good here. If you are ever in Fraserburgh and you want a nice friendly place for a morning coffee, lunch or afternoon tea this is the place to come. You won’t be disappointed.

Easy going and good food. Wide selection of dishes on the menu but noticed no veggie options. Did have oatmilk for my tea which was great. Nice spot and enjoyed the food.

Stopped here for lunch. Free parking and good toilets. Food was fine, I enjoyed a nice veg soup. Busy at lunch time.

Had an excellent lunch today. Very filling. Lovely atmosphere with very friendly and helpful staff. Plenty to choose off the menu

After a long walk on Fraserburgh's beautiful beach we popped into the cafe for something to eat. We ordered two steak pies which were absolutely delicious. It was obvious by the taste and texture that they had used very good beef and they came with the lightest puff pastry tops, veg.,chips and extra gravy. It was our first visit and we will definitely be back. Great selection of ice creams too.

Now called the Beach Cafe. Had a lovely afternoon that was served on a wooden cutting board. Sounds funny but it was lovely. You choose your sandwich ( I can recommend the ham and cheese - a very robust, flavourful cheese).; this is accompanied by corn chips, a little salad, 2 baked squares, and a freshly baked scone with clotted cream and jam. You chose tea or coffee all for just over £7. We were stuffed by the time we were finished. Lovely to look out over the beach. Clean premises and friendly staff. Lots of other choices on the menu whether you just want a cup of tea and something sweet or a full on meal. They have a children's menu too. If you are a lover of Bicocchis ice cream, they have that too. They are open, I think, around 8 in the morning and close at 4 or 4:30, so you can't have dinner there.

We visited there last week and they had no hesitation in putting together tables to accommodate our large group. The children appreciated the play area. The food was bery good and the ice cream excellent

This is not a dog friendly cafe. Dogs are not allowed. Nothing hot to eat after 3. Dried bread sandwiches with a cold drink, below average food and service with an above average price!

I ate lunch here the other day. The location is excellent being situated on the promenade overlooking the beach. There is a big car park outside. I noticed there was a banner on the outside of the building saying it has recently been refurbished and reopened under new management. It was very busy inside but we were lucky enough to get a table quite quickly. The service was friendly and fast. The food was very nice. I had a cheese toastie which was excellent. The prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be back again soon.

Called in here for a late lunch and couldn’t find anywhere else to go. Looks nothing from the outside so we weren’t expecting it to be nearly full when we went in. We took two,stools by yeh window so had a beach view, and our waitress soon arrive. She was very polite and friendly and we had one fish and chips and one seafood platter - the main special of the day. The food was really good and quite large portions, so we had no room for any of the fabulous looking cakes on display. While we were there every table was full, so the place is obviously doing something right. Give it a go.

Sunday PM the cafe was busy and being 4 of us we managed to squeeze together at quite a small table. It took a long time before someone came over to our table to give us menu's and again a long wait til’ we got served. Everything took ages to arrive and I've never had an issue with opening a can of coke before.

It’s a shame that with such a lovely location on the sea front esplanade, that there is no view of the sea when you’re sitting inside the cafe. The interior is bright and family friendly, and on a Sunday afternoon, it was a popular spot with people strolling along the beach. Our tea and scones were good although the young staff seemed very busy coping with orders and payments. Free parking nearby.

I realise it’s just been taken over so I don’t want to be too harsh, however.

Went to try it out. Service was quite fast but we ordered soup and a main, which arrived at the same time, so what do we eat first. The food was ok the place was busy and they are still finding their feet. Should only get better

ordered food at the counter. there were no trays to carry pot of tea to table on. tables were not cleared and cleaned. when went to get knife and forks there was not any in the trays, so said to young lady behind the counter. a few minutes later some were put in the area still wet and not very clean. Mac and cheese had very little cheese taste to it. we had asked for 2 mac and cheese with beans and chips to share. it came out 1 mac and cheese and 1 mac and cheese, beans and chips.

I stopped here the other week when out cycling along the beach front. The location is fantastic with the beautiful beach right beside this cafe. We had sausage rolls and they were tasty and good value for money. The service was good also. The place was quite busy and there was a good atmosphere. It was clean and tidy too. I will definitely visit here again.

It was a little hard to find a café open in Fraserburgh on a Sunday afternoon, so we landed up here.

Clean cafe serving a good all day breakfast, at the top of Fraserburgh beach. Remarkably open every day of the year. Friendly staff.

I visited with a friend and we both had egg and chips. The eggs were obviously free-range, although one of my eggs was slightly undercooked, and the chips were plentiful. The service was also very friendly. The reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of the coffee. There is a coffee menu advertising all the usual; Americano, Latte etc, but they use INSTANT coffee. I couldn't believe it, but in a strange kind of way it added to the quirkiness of the café. I would visit again!

Like this place, it’s not fine dining but their home made chicken pie is lovely and you get a lovely cuppa and a home bake

Friendly,lovely simple food at reasonable prices. You can even go for a walk along the beach from here.

Love the pies, had all their fillings. Chips are the frozen variety. Furniture is uncomfortable cheap chairs but the place is handy to park and have a quick meal or snack.

Vamos aquí a lo largo de los años (en su mayoría ve por el). El menú es sencillo, pero la comida es siempre buena. Muchos restaurantes de la ciudad han estado subiendo y bajando a lo largo de los años, pero este café ha sido consistentemente bueno. Para cualquiera que visite la ciudad que quiera un buen almuerzo pero barato, no busques más.

A este establecimiento en las afueras de impresiones no son geniales como fraserburgh es un poco monótona y la entrada es así. Pero una vez dentro hay una mejora sensible. Buen espacio abierto sirve zona limpia y ordenada. Grandes aseos limpios.

Wide range of food available - though tends to get very hot inside due to lack of windows that open. We ended up sitting on one of the seats on the promenade. Portions of fish and chips are large and freshly cooked

Popped in for a bite of lunch with a friend .Nice cafe with a good menu choice.and lovely food. cooked to order and delivered to your table.Reasonable prices.Friendly staff.Lovely views of the beach.Free car parking.

Ideal for all day food whilst enjoying the beach at Fraserburgh Bay. Good varied menu, food fresh and pleasant surrounding.

Great place to get refreshments after a walk on the beach. The hot food looked really good but we only had coffee and Victoria Sponge cake.

Buena selección de comida, genial si quieres una tarta y patatas fritas para el almuerzo, un personal alegre y servicial, magníficas vistas si puedes conseguir una mesa junto a la ventana. Gran sin lujos eatery definitivamente volver

Always a favourite with the family, from my elderly mum to the youngest grandkid who is 2yrs old. First stop when we go shopping in the Broch, staff so friendly and the place is kept spotless. Oh and did I mention the pies, yum best ever.

stopped at this Cafe on visit to beach,excellent service and fresh cooked food.great sea view out of window tables watching surfing

One of my boys plays for Fraserburgh Link up and play on the astro beside the beach. On a cold day the cafe is a fine place to have a cup of coffee or tea and a bacon bap. Affa nice quines serving the food as well.

Great cafe with fantastic views of the beach. Just stopped for a brew and piece of toast, but other meals served whilst we were there looked fab

Great homemade pies, served with chips and beans, macaroni cheese, burgers etc. great view of the sea from the high stools at the window area. Kept the windy day outside.

Good menu selection and good service. Clean and airy. Friendly staff. Fantastic beach location with great sea views. X

Pies are home made an extensive menu available good prices good service very clean scenery fantastic good food a nice soft drink what else do you need

I think I would avoid Fraserburgh on Sundays unless you take a packed lunch as we could find nowhere open at all and ended up at the Tiger Hill. I would describe the food as the stuff from which heartburn is made and if it is a case of you get what you pay for, I think £20 was way too much for what was thrown on the plates - the "home made" pies (we had the chicken) were salty, the chips dire and goodness me how difficult would it be to serve something other than tinned peas or beans. I'm afraid we won't be visiting again - in days gone by it was not a bad café but standards have slipped.

We usually eat here as a family (4 and 2) after we have been to the play park and had a walk along the beach. The atmosphere is relaxed and family friendly. The food is down to earth, substantial and enjoyable. Including burgers, pies, salads, soups, sandwiches, etc. Prices are reasonable. The views out to sea are great.

stopped late Sunday morning for the breakfast bun and strong coffee. Great place! Clean, v friendly and relaxed. Food was excellent - freshly made and hot. A winter warmer on a freezing day. The pies looked very good and were certainly popular - for next visit i think. Loved that they had art for sale from locals. The view of the north sea was breath taking. Great no fuss, honest food and relaxed cafe.

We are regulars at this Cafe on beach. Food always good and friendly girls.Went for Christmas lunch last week and it was perfect. The Christmas pudding was just like your Granny used to make - real dumpling. Christmas lunches are being served Friday, Saturday and Sundays - go along you won't be disappointed.

Went here on Saturday for our lunch excellent menu something for everyone and great value for money. Staff very nice and helpfull

have eaten here on numerous occasions and never had any complaints the home made pies are excellent and the portions are very generous. clean and tidy and very well kept keep up the good work

Having ordered 3 overpriced sub standard quality breakfasts I had to return them all due to the fact that it was all burnt except for the undercooked/raw egg which could have resulted in a hospital trip.When I complained about the quality of cooking I got no response whatsoever I was not even offered a replacement ( would have refused anyway) nor refund and had to leave hungry with my wallet £20 lighter.Please save yourself time and money and go elsewhere as I would rate this overall -10 out of 10

Having tried other local places for a weekend breakfast treat this place is the best! although a cafe the food is cooked fresh and portions generous. the view of the beach, sea and often surfers if you sit on the stools by the window is a great way to spend an hour of the day. The home made pies are also delicious and the staff very friendly.

A beautiful beach in the north east of Scotland.Spoiled by a very disappointing spicy chicken burger. If you are hoping for any kind of dressing or the smallest green leaf you will be severely disappointed.Try something else.

Worth a visit, good choice and a place where you can see what's on offer before ordering which is really nice, decent pried and child friendly, never had any complaints, friendly staff and always enjoyed my food.

Working in Fraserburgh this is perfect place for having dinner Hot freshly cooked food with good variety of stuff to pick from Shame it doesn't open till ten losing a bit of trade there I think at tea breaks in morning The other place you get a. Breakfast at the harbour is a greasy spoon better to have late tea break and come to tiger for it Lovely soup and mains and deserts The lady that runs it is a looker tooAll good the place to eat is here

We ordered our food and drinks my wife's coffee was not full in cup so waitress refilled it for very helpful the food was good cooked to order good value staff were very courteous and helpful only criticism is handwashing could be improved when taking out rubbish be aware people do look at these things

My wife and I have eaten in this cafe over the last week several times.Most of the food is prepared on the premises the sausage rolls chicken and beef pies are freshly made every day.The decor is clean bright and basic unlike the shabby exterior.The view of the beach complete with diving gannets is spectacular-saw the Dutch squarerigger The Flying Dutchman docking yesterday.The staff have been very friendly greeting us on arrival and wishing us goodby--fairly typical Fraserburgh friendliness in our experience.I had the homemade steak pie today tasted like a steak pie should with cubes of tender steak.The kitchen is on show I like that nothing hidden.I would give it more than 3 stars if it did not have a giant jar of instant coffee on the shelf.Closes at 4pm.

After feeding seagulls with crap 'food' we have been served in something that used to be Zanres in its better times, we went for a walk to the beach taking advantage of rare sunny and warm days in Fraserburgh. Being hungry we decided to give the beach cafe a try, even after reading the previous review on my mobile while walking on the beach.Can't say much about the service, apart from that we had to ask for the attention of the staff as they seemed to ignore a couple of people standing at the bar...No food rating as I haven't purchased anything there, the reason for that is I have first asked for Americano and was offered the uniqe opportunity to try it made of filter coffee (???) We decided not to order food in this place.

The tiger hill cafe is located at the beach arguably one of Fraserburgh nicest assets, however the tiger hill cafe is an absolute disaster. It doesnt open till about 10am in the morning and closes at 4pm, this is very poor given that many tourists stay in the local caravan park nearby and might appreciate the opportunity to eat out and also for the amount of early morning/evening walkers who may wish to stop off for a drink. However the cafe's biggest failing is the staff and lease operator of the cafe, who seem to lack any customer service skills "service with a grump". The food that is served up is of very poor quality. It's very expensive and the cheapest of the cheap ingredients on offer. I havent been for years as was fed up being served by dour staff. Save yourself the hasstle and go to Nooks and Crannies (which though a little pricey the food is excellent and the service sensational) or Dunes (out beside the golf course and enjoy a game of putting to boot)

Fantastic home made pies , soups and cakes . Basic sorroundings but really clean and cosy . Big windows looking out onto the waves crashing onto the beach . Home cooking at its best , brilliant value had to share .
