The best restaurants in Lower Deeside Aberdeen City North East Scotland

Spur of the moment decision proved a great choice as we enjoyed a lovely fresh, tasty lunch at Clarets in the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre. Excellent views over the golf course and the River Dee. Service was first class, food excellent. All in all a really above par choice to visit. Won’t be the last time!

A great venue to enjoy the rugby with friends. Looking forward to the next visit when we can enjoy the fire pit and outside dining.

Cheery and friendly staff. Great cup of coffee and dog friendly.

Food was excellent, was only about 5 mins later than expected but well worth it. We will definitely order again

I really enjoyed it personally, I am grateful to have tasted delicious food in this wonderful restaurant.

The food in the restaurant is always excellent. The mussels they have at the moment are particularly good. Always very friendly service as well.

Newton Dee is a wonderful place for most people with Learning Disabilities of all kinds and other mixed Additional Complex Needs, whether they are Co-workers or villagers. What I can see is Newton Dee can be inclusive and welcoming of all kinds of abilities and nationalities. Newton Dee would share experiences with eachother and will learn a lot from eachother, despite the pecking order, potentially. Some people may become independent through encouragement (spurring one another on) and inspiration.

Costa place, a place to sit with friends, read a book or have coffee with snacks.

The Marcliffe has changed hands recently and I'd hoped the high standards would remain. Sadly this is not the case. The food is still excellent but the service is sadly lacking. I suspect this is due to inexperienced staff and poor leadership. I had to ask to have a pre-prandial drink despite arriving 30 minutes before our allotted reservation time. We were given the wrong menus initially. We were brought the wrong bottles of wine (both of them!). The cutlery had fingerprints on them. I had to ask for our wine to be poured on more than one occasion. So disappointing and I hope things improve as the Marcliffe is/was one if our favourites.

Friendly efficient service. Croissants were delicious. Good variety of bakery. The cafe itself was cosy and there was a nice atmosphere.

This place is elegant, vintage, and well-maintained. The hotel staff was excellent. The vibe of the hotel is quite relaxing also. I spent an hour or so in the lounge reading and enjoying some whiskey. I would recommend this place to ANYONE traveling in this area.

Reservamos la cena un sábado por la noche, ya que nos alojamos cerca y otras opciones eran limitadas. MUY contento de que elegimos Himalaya. Los asientos y la decoración eran cómodos y de buen gusto, las instalaciones limpias, el personal absolutamente encantador y atento y la comida era una de las mejores comidas asiáticas que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo! Recomiendo encarecidamente para cenar - en o llevar a cabo y espero que podamos visitar de nuevo pronto. Teníamos el curry Methi y curry de ajo con chile que eran excelentes, pero nos sorprendió la momo dumplings y poppadum selección de dip que era claramente casero y delicioso. ¡No olvides regalarte una copa! Compartimos una hermosa botella de Malbec que tenía un precio justo y una mano auténtica - margarita estrechada. Gracias por una gran experiencia!

The prawn curry was delicious! The STP was the best I’ve ever eaten 😭

Stunning interior for Afternoon Tea. Staff attentive and food quality and presentation great

Excellent service and very very clean tables and floors. The staff are excellent.
