The best restaurants in Banchory and Mid Deeside Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

Fabulous service. Menu was fantastic especially the haggis & venison balls and the stovies😋 guests thoroughly enjoyed all of the food and all dietary requirements were met. Highly recommend

Perfectly grilled and cooked kebabs, meats and satisfying dishes. The mixed grill for 2 is enough for 3 or 4 people! The stuffed grape leaves are delicious.

This is one of best coffee shops I have known. It's such a shame that it's taken me 72 years to discover it. Great coffee and delicious food. The bacon rolls are gigantic.

Great takeaway. Recommend prawn biriyani, saag aloo, lamb larah

Absolutely amazing visit here and can’t wait to go back. Firstly we loved the location and even on a driech day it was warm and inviting. All staff were genuinely polite, friendly and welcoming and delivered great service throughout. We were mostly served by Carol who could teach masterclass in true customer service to many other places we’ve visited. There were a few things we liked. Firstly it was bright, modern and super clean. Secondly we liked that it was lots of little areas which made our visit more cosy and quiet. Thirdly we loved that this is not a haunt for screaming kids and endless pushchairs. We had a lovely, quiet lunch with each food and drink item being absolutely perfect. We opted for a coffee and their soup and sandwich combo. Sandwiches arrived in the freshest bread and came with salad and crisps. I had the Cullen Skink and husband had the lentil soup. Both were piping hot and absolutely delicious. We couldn’t eat another thing by the end but did choose a couple of homemade tray bakes to take away. If you’re looking for somewhere for a lovely lunch out or just coffee and a cake I’d highly recommend here. Food, service and setting were all perfect and can’t wait to go back.

Fabulous service very understanding ex cellant coffee and wonderful porridge amazing customer attention Fabulous thank you have a wonderful day ronnie mathieson

We had a large private party at the Tor-Na-Coille hotel and I am so glad we chose this venue. Every member of staff we spoke to had a wonderful attitude, they were incredibly helpful, and the service was impeccable. The venue itself is stunning throughout and the private dining space is no exception. We barely had to decorate the space to make it look beautiful. We chose a buffet meal and it was well received, tasty, and reasonably priced. There was a stage in our room perfect for entertainment, and also a bar within the room allowing you to order drinks without leaving the party. We will be very pleased to visit again soon for lunch. Big thank you to Rami, Rachel, Amy, Callum, and the rest of the team!

Great staff who helped us celebrate a family birthday

Stayed nearby on holiday, visited twice for breakfast and lunch, brilliant, Stornaway black pudding with poached egg - 5 stars who ever introduced it into the menu! We also were impressed with the shop, all stock is local and quality, Finzean Honey is one of the best I tried in my life, and I tried a lot as my father was a beer keeper.

Very popular, booking recommended. Excellent freshly made pizza.

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.

Great takeaway all the food was really delicious. good sized portions, ready on time to collect. There wasn't a lot left when we finished. This will be my regular from now.

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.

Pansies and pastries. All good. Very good selection of potted plants , shrubs and trees plus a café and a restaurant.

Recently got married at Banchory Lodge. I can not put it into words how incredible it was. The staff were 10/10, always catering to our needs and the needs of our guests. Caroline the events manager and Diana the general manager were outstanding. From start to finish everything went brilliantly. All our guests commented on how amazing all the food was and will be visiting Banchory Lodge again themselves. I can’t emphasise enough how fantastic Banchory lodge was and will recommend to any one whether it’s for a night away or to book a wedding. I’m so excited to come back and stay and relive it all again. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much Banchory lodge for making our day so amazing and special!
