You must eat here! I insist. The best supper we had all week. The terrine was the best we have ever tasted and the freshly caught haddock was amazing. Great food served by great people.

We visited after a great walk to The Prince Albert’s Cairn on Balmoral Estate. A gorgeous selection of baked goods was on offer, so many to choose from, sweet and savoury. As well as all the tempting treats there were blackboard options, my boys opted for the Hot Dog and Burger.. which were huge. Lovely coffee, served in a mug of your choice, juice for the kids and cosy blankets for keeping warm outside. This place is a true gem and worth a stop on the Royal Deeside route.

This place is a wee gem! A phenomenal selection of whiskies, a very tasty sharing platter, all served by friendly staff who love to share funny stories. A few locals were in who also love a blether. Lovely seating area outside too. Only open Friday to Sunday at present.

First time eating at this fantastic restaurant! Small town, small restaurant, but wonderful taste and authentic service! The chef’s wife who doubles as floor manager recently earned recognition from Michelin for outstanding hospitality! We dined there to celebrate our 51st Wedding Anniversary. Our meal started with six outstanding oysters and crab crumpets, followed by mains of scallops and Shetland halibut. Food was amazing, as was the service. Will definitely return again!

Passed Shortys around lunch time and thought we would grab some ice cream for dessert. The lady was so accommodating and welcoming. The flavours were incredible and scoop size was amazing “a proper scoop” I had the Ballater cream and crème egg and it was Devine. My partner had the cherry and chocolate and she said the same! The chocolate is definitely something to write home about though it was delicious! Will definitely be back.

This deli shop in delightful Ballater has got a good assortment of cheeses, some olives and pickles and a selection of pantry food: jam, honey, marmalade etc The cakes look delicious and the fresh fruit and vegetables were very appetising. The building is amazing and the shop windows invite you to walk in. We will try the smoked cheese we bought from you.

Great place to visit! Lovely homemade soup - butternut squash just right consistency, large bowl & hot. Served with gorgeous homemade bread (2 slices of cranberry with butter - husband had savoury scone with chutney - superb). Nice hot latte & yummy cakes. Lovely welcoming friendly hostess & atmosphere. Pizza night on a Thursday & local market on a Wednesday is next on our must visit list! Visit this cafe - you will not be disappointed! All served promptly & at a reasonable price too.
