The best restaurants in Banff and District Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

A lovely local cafe, friendly and welcoming plus dog friendly. Small but very well done menu all made to order, sandwiches toasties and mains. Nice tea and coffee selection with scones and other tasty treats. Vegan and diary free available. If in the area again definitely coming back and will 'push Liz' s buttons '

Popped in for a takeaway coffee. Wished I’d had time to stop and eat. This is a very funky place. Coffee was great and the staff friendly. Liked like great cakes.

Great food with a good variety and all bases covered between more creative sandwiches and your 'basics' like ham and cheese. Fantastic coffee, freidnly staff and a lovely setting being in an old bank (with vault still in place!) Highly recommend!

You need to find your way through a chemist's shop and then upstairs - but it is worth it! We stopped for the soup and sandwich deal; a bowl of hot home-made soup, thick with lentils and chunks of bacon and a chicken mayo sandwich stuffed full and with salad and crisps. Delicious and a bargain.

I had the quiche, very generous size, served with salad, chutney & coleslaw. All homemade. Very vintage inside, definitely worth a visit. Lovely selection of cakes which you could buy to take away. To full to eat there, so we bought for later

Gordon and Teresa's upgrade to this pub has been a great thing for Banff. It's enjoyed by both locals and holiday-makers, and is a great place to meet up with friends for a drink. It's great to still have a decent pub in town, run by a local couple, who are willing to go that extra mile to satisfy their customers.

Fab! Fab! Fab! What a gem! I ate here with family after a recommendation and now I cant stop telling everyone to go here! The food was absolutely fantastic and the staff were brilliant! I think the North East is lagging behind with great restaurants that sell local, fresh brilliant food which is a great shame as it has a full larder but The Fife Arms ticks all the boxes! If you want a guaranteed brilliant meal that u will love every mouthful then head here! What a winner!

V much a cosy atmosphere, homemade food, clean and lovely to view local artists work.

Walk in wait time was really reasonable!!! The girl behind the counter was working really hard balancing the different tasks so much respect for her and her patience! I was very hungry so sorry for the bad photo but everything was really good especially the spicy chicken I love spicy food and with the red chilli it was a good medium spice perfect for Saturday dinner~!
