The best restaurants in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

First time and decent ,all round service. Good size portions, will have to try their Sunday dinner soon...

A busy Thursday on a cold February evening provided a lovely village atmosphere. Our food was, quite simply, of excellent quality. A lone barmaid, perhaps called Evie, was run ragged serving a full house and bar. I don’t know how she did it but she still managed to offer excellent, friendly and helpful service whilst never appearing anything less than fully calm. This young lady deserves employee of the year ! However it was disconcerting to see the owners sitting back enjoying themselves with their daughters, whilst poor Evie was flat out on her own.

Really enjoyed our evening here. Normally have take out, which has always been superb, dinning in was not a disappointment.

Class place. Class service. Best Christmas 🎁⛄ dinner ever!

Table wasn’t ready at the time we reserved for, it took another twenty minutes of waiting after the reservation time. Food took over an hour and a half to arrive after being seated and ordered. Absolute shambles. Food is very small for the money spent. Don’t go here, support better businesses.

A good place to eat especially in winter when the fire is on.

Night out with a couple of friends. Food was good but not fantastic, service team were lovely and helpful. Large resturaunt area but very few people in and somewhat cold despite electric heater by table.

We had a fantastic time together as a family reunion at this Indian restaurant, the food was excellent, the service was also really good. We ordered different plates and everything was really good and tasty. Fully recommended

Bright, spotless, happy chatter, lovely aroma AND the best cappuccino we’ve had since arriving in Scotland 3 weeks ago. You made these Aussies so happy and satisfied. THANKYOU.

Service was very slow. We were in for 1.1/2 hours just for soup and pudding and coffee

My visit was on a cold snow covered day. We had an early booking, maybe that was the reason for the young waitress not knowing and providing us with confusing info of the menu. Once that was sorted everything went well and a very satisfying meal was had by my family.

Yummy simple food (just the way I love it) and great, friendly service! Definitely my favourite breakfast spot in Ballater we visited. Very reasonably priced as well!

Delicious food, attentive staff. One of the best restaurants around.

Great selection of brewdog beers, as you would expect from the brewery. Bit expensive but not excessive.

Gluten Free Fish and Chips, just what we were looking for. They were great and we sat outside in the sun and ate them and enjoyed the view out to sea. Will definitely return if we're ever in Stonehaven again.
