The best restaurants in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

Great food, steak and fish cooked to perfection, served with really good chips. Went for deserts too, which we don’t normally go for, butter tablet ice cream hit the spot.

Booked a table for 4 for Hogmanay. On arrival, the restaurant was very busy and had a good ambience, when the food arrived it was excellent, what an evening.

Ordered two Special set meals and the food was amazing. Portions were very generous including rice, the onion bhajis and bombay tatties were very tasty. Main courses were excellent, faultless and plenty of meat. Fast and efficient delivery service. Will definetly return for a takeaway again soon.

Lovely venue, delicious breakfast and brilliant service from the staff group. Will definitely head back to sample lunch and their amazing cakes.

Great food and good coffee! My husband had the big breakfast which was great value at $24. The rest of us had the corn fritter with bacon, pancakes and eggs Benedict. No complaints.

Very good fish & chips. Used to frequent another chip shop in the area. However, it has been less impressive of late with quite tasteless chips. The chips at Rock salt &sole were really tasty, as was the fish. We'll definitely be using this chippy again.

We were recommended to go to Simpson’s by the wonderful staff at Peterhead Prison Museum, who told us they make the best soup there. Cold, hungry and excited at this prospect, we headed to the tearoom. Sadly the soup was off the menu for me, as it was ham & lentil and I’m vegetarian. Disappointing. My cousin enjoyed the soup. Instead, I ordered a cheese and pineapple toastie. I was asked if I wanted the crisps, salad and coleslaw. I politely declined the coleslaw but relished the prospect of the crisps and salad. The toastie was delicious. Imagine my surprise when my salad consisted of a very few bits of chopped iceberg lettuce, ONE slice of cucumber and HALF a cherry tomato! Not only that - just THREE crisps were placed on my plate. I’ve always wondered what happened to that other half a cherry tomato …….

Shambles, don't bother! Was told 45mins, finally got our order 1hour 30mins later after calling twice and being told it was on its way. Food was cold and tasteless, very disappointed!

We’ve been to Morris’s hotel (Jock’s) many times for supper, we thought we’d give it a try for breakfast and although we were told we didn’t need to book, we decided to book ahead - on hindsight, I’m not sure if this was a good idea as they knew we were coming and got the impression that the breakfast items were probably precooked prior to us ordering them. We all had the full breakfast and two pots of tea were ordered, one to come whilst we were waiting for our breakfast and the other to come later when our breakfast arrived. Both came at once , and we had to ask for a pot of boiling water, breakfast when it came wasn’t anywhere near hot enough but plenty of it, no marmalade for the toast and had to settle for jam. I wouldn’t return for breakfast, there were four of us and we were the only ones there until another couple arrived as we were leaving, I would return for lunch or supper but need to improve greatly on their breakfast.

Amazing food Presentation and taste outstanding Plenty choice for us vegetarians. Staff very welcoming. Well organized and felt very safe Very high standard of food and health and safety to highest degree during this pandemic.

By far and away the very best Beef Stew I have ever tasted. The decor might be a bit dated, but the food was excellent. The after-dinner coffee was drunk in the lounge, which was decorated in the style of a Scottish country house.

Order was short despite being checked not discovered till I got home home. It was too late to go back to the restaurant and the rest of the food would spoil

We haven’t been to the Palace for a meal for nearly a year and decided to go this evening. We had the front room to ourselves. The lady that served us was really nice and helpful. Food was lovely. All of us thoroughly enjoyed it and was worth every penny. Fully COVID compliant!

Just to let you know I'm a chef but the food is very good 👍

My husband and I paid a visit to our favourite local restaurant tonight and as usual we were not disappointed. Even though it was very busy Dhruba the proprietor squeezed us in and gave us a lovely welcome. Usually we order from the extensive menu but we decided to try the buffet for a change. It was fantastic from start to finish. Our very attentive waitress brought us our wine and after a few minutes she informed us that the freshly cooked starters were ready. We had a huge choice including poppadoms with numerous dips. So yummy ! We had to remind ourselves that this was not the main part of the meal. My husband ordered a cheese naan and once it arrived at our table we returned to the buffet for our main course. What to choose ? There were a selection of 9 different curries ranging from mild to medium/ hot. Something for everyone. I think I tried 6 but had no room for anymore. All were exceptional. Loved them all. Included in the buffet price is 2 scoops of ice cream which was very welcome and slid down very well after after a lovely spicy meal. I can’t recommend the 4 Cs highly enough. We love it.
