The best restaurants in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

My Husband and I were at the Tina/Cher Tribute last night at the Drumlithie Inn. This is such a lovely, cosy place. Our meal was lovely, I had the fish and chips and my Husband had the Steak Pie (lots of steak) we both really enjoyed our meal. My Husband then managed to squeeze in an Eve’s Pudding and custard which I tasted and it was delicious! The Tribute was very good and the “Happy Atmosphere” was amazing! Everyone was so friendly, it was like one Big Happy Party! 🥳 Would definitely recommend a visit David and Ian are always so Friendly and Happy to Help at all times, nothing is a bother to them. Well done guys!! Keep up the great job you are doing. 👍👏

Lovely find. Immaculately clean. Friendly staff, reasonably priced. Delicious soup, coffee and cakes. However…, coronation chicken was the most tasteless I have ever encountered

Crispy battered Haddock n Chips Yum Yum fat tum. Future golf trips will be using Freddies in Banff rather than Wetherspoons in Fraserburgh. I usually send an e-mail review of our golf trips including best and worst Golf Courses and best and worst food to all places we visit. Unfortunately I cant find Freddies e-mail to tell them they were voted the best.

Beautiful views from the cafe . Good location with parking. Pancakes are the best and made fresh . Staff friendly and helpful

Waitress greeted us as if we'd trailed in dog dirt on our shoes. 'Sit anywhere' face of thunder demanded with a dismissive flick of her wrist. Then off she thumped through the swing doors to the kitchen. 'That's anither two in' she barked. That was when we decided to depart. Avoid this place, the welcome is atrocious.

We visited on Sunday evening for a special occasion having not visited for a very long time. We were pleased to find the Hotel fairly busy with downstairs dining room / lounge full with what was probably a large group. We were slightly early so we went in the bar for a drink, it was friendly and we were served efficiently. The Dining Room itself is upstairs which might put the less able off but I believe the same menu would be available in the downstairs lounge if you asked for it. The ambiance of the Arches Restaurant is pleasant, it’s all a little old fashioned but it’s in character with the building, the Restaurant was about half full. The service was good, friendly, efficient, the food was lovely and reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning soon, recommend.

We stayed in lodge not far from this hotel and after reading that our host recommends this place for a meal we decided to give it a go in our last night.Food was delicious and portions were really generous. Thai green curry was outstanding, lots of flavour and nicely presented. All staff were super friendly and nice.

Rude staff, horrible customer service, felt like I was a annoying them when asking, won’t be back! No please or thank you. No manners.

This was my first time at the Sunshine. I really enjoyed the vegetarian spring rolls, the mains were also very good. I ordered by phone, very easy, and my food was there in the ten minutes suggested. Very happy.

Une cuisine innovante et originale, une très bonne ambiance. Il est préférable de réserver une table. Surtout essayer le haggis revisité, je ne me souvient pas du nom du plat mais sous forme de croquettes avec une émulsion de pomme de terre ! Incroyablement bon... Les autres plats aussi sont excellents.

Can't deny this bakery bakes and sells delicious fayre......but possibly a re-think on good hygiene practices. All goods are handled with bare hands and the couple of times we've been in did not see any hand washing being done. The tray bake counter did have tongs but weren't used. I dread to think of cash being handled in amongst all this. Have been in other bakeries where head coverings, tongs and disposable gloves appear to be mandatory.

Very disappointing. Spotted this cafe when we drove through kirkton of skene. There was a couple outside with a dog. They were served and was hoping we would be next. Only for us to finish our coffee and our order had still not appeared. Only to find that our order had been delivered to another table, who had ordered the same meals as ours and started to eat it. It took ages to pay for our coffees only for the table that had our meal was then complaining that they had not received their drinks. I sat outside and was listening to another family who had ordered coffees takeaway. Only for the woman having placed them In cups to have outside. Too much of a fiasco going on. I will not be back.

Amazing food, friendly staff and dog friendly too! The first visit by my wife and I and it definitely will not be our last.

We thought the bread and pastries looked very nice, and there was a very brisk trade going on. Very disappointed with almond croissants. Dry, no taste, over baked and very heavy. The same with the pain au chocolat. Heavy, dry, afraid we did not enjoy and threw them away. The seeded tin loaf was moist and well made however. The service was quick and efficient.
