The best restaurants in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

We visit regularly for lunch, coffees etc so thought we would try afternoon tea. We had a 2.30 booking. The table was decorated very well and the service was good the food was a bit of a let down. The bread for the sandwiches was delicious but the fillings were just ok. The sweet chutney with the ham was over powering and the chilli cheese again was just a little sickly. The Quiches were all very dry, however the sausage rolls were excellent. The cakes were a mixed bag, the raspberry posset was lovely, the scones were just so dry and overcooked, they didn’t really taste home made ( I buy scones regularly there ) the shortbread was overcooked and crisp, the coffee and brown sugar cake was just dense and tasteless, the brownie was very bitter. It was quite a shock as we have coffee and cakes so often there. We will still go back again but it wasn’t a great afternoon tea experience I am afraid.

Once again haven’t been passed in a while however popped passed seated and from that moment it was paradise, starters main delicious full and pack with flavour, chicken melted in my mouth with the garlic chill chicken outstanding also everything 10/10 thank you Nazma

Great little local pub. No food, no frills just an old fashioned cosy harbour side pub. Cold outside - the log burner in the bar soon sorts that out. 👍

Saturday 18th June - Had the takeaway set meal for two last night. To be really honest the only thing that was fine were the popadoms and the onion relish ! The nan bread tasted like cardboard, the chicken in both my main dish and my husband's main dish was tough and over cooked (tasted like it had been cooked earlier and then warmed up), and then to top it all my husband later had a really bad attack of diarrhoea. I contacted the restaurant and they were very apologetic and said hygiene is their top concern. Apart from apologies no refund offered. Will not be coming back.

Not sure what had changed. But the last 2 visits have been terrible. The pepper sauce burger had zero. Nadda, nicks, ziltch no sauce what do ever!!!!!!!!!! Tasted like cardboard!!! Last time I bought a coleslaw salad and never received it, 2nd strike, and they are out. I am not going back. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! THIS IS BS

Stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed it very much. Room was not huge but comfortable. Staff very helpful. Food and service all good value for the price. Will return.

I was really wanting italian so I looked up 'italian' in Stonehaven and Gino's came up. We went there for lunch and it was great. The hot chocolate was amazing. the pasta dishes where all great everyone was happy with what they received. I'd happily return anytime =)

the service was really amazing and the staff were so sweet. the food was absolutely delicious and worth it. overall definite 10/10 :)

Been here many times and its always fantastic. The food is really fresh tasting and the choice is great. The young lad is efficient and friendly and the service is excellent. Has lots of fresh local produce for sale too and their is a large soft play area for kids. Good value for something that bit different and I strongly recommend going here.

Wouldn’t recommend at all. The toilets were dirty with no toilet roll or soap. The food was cold especially the fries. The service was terrible we had to take our dirty plates up to the bar. To get additional drinks also we have to attend the bar and walk up to members of staff. The brewdog bars in Aberdeen are far better. This isn’t the first time we’ve had a bad experience as this is the second in a month.

This is a great spot for a nice takeaway lunch i ordered the crispy beef and it was absolutely delicious. This place was the best chinese takeaway ive ever had in my life well deserved 5 stars

Friendly cheerful staff, food was good and still really hot when we got back to our holiday cottage five miles away.

Great service, Quality food at reasonable price excellent all round experience that made a visit to this Garden Centre all the more memorable. Many Thanks.

It took ages to get seated even though there appeared to be free tables. The staff seemed very disorganised. Slow service. By the time the food arrived I didn't care what it was like, I was ready to eat the table. Drinks were not delivered until we had finished eating, not great when you are after cake AND coffee! Enjoyed it when it did arrive, though over priced.
