The best restaurants in Mearns Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

The five star reviews are right. A super stop after a walk to the rocks of solitude. Lovely village and a quaint cafe. Excellent nachos and various sandwiches. Great cakes too. No complaints at all

The visit we had to here was lovely! Atmosphere was amazing. The servers and locals were very nice. The food and drink you could not fault. Definitely making this a fav spot

We both had the classic avo. Home made bread, fresh avocado and perfectly poached eggs. You couldn’t ask for more, other than a really good cup of coffee. So we had those too. Staff were very friendly and we were very tempted by the great selection of cakes. We resisted this time but I don’t think we’ll be able to next time😋

Oh it was absolutely incredible seriously, the fillets are so tender and the chips are full of flavour. The staff are very helpful. Defo Scran It. Proper ding dang do. Only fault is the prices, but its still a defo scran it.

Wonderful wee place, well worth a visit if you want to buy a delicious takeaway lobster or crab lunch. We bought small tubs of lobster salad, it was so tasty and fresh, and they were only £6 each. It was our favourite meal of our holiday. There are a couple of picnic tables outside, if you want to eat beside the small harbour. You can also order online for collection, they sell amazing seafood platters. They sell some nice gifts too. The Lobster Shop is not too far from St Cyrus Beach, if you are looking to buy a picnic.

Great Sunday roast Aberdeenshire roast rump of beef Yorkshire pudding veg and roast potatoes also half roast chicken with skirlie Hugh portions. Home made apple pie and custard fantastic.

We came across this lovely cosy café on a brief stop when travelling from Aberdeen to Monifieth . We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed coffee and a delicious s one. Next time we’ll aim to stop here at lunchtime. Everything being served looked delicious.

Came here for Sunday lunch whilst visiting st Cyrus for the weekend after seeing the reviews of the Sunday roast. Waitress was friendly and the food arrived piping hot and the portions were huge! The roast beef was so good just melted in the mouth. The sticky toffee pudding and custard was so good aswell and all reasonably priced. Would recommended and will be back to try more of the menu when in the area.

Visited to have a look around and some lunch. Plant options are very limited. Was mostly disappointed with one member of staff in the cafe who coughed & sneezed over the cakes and drinks and was having very loud inappropriate conversations. It’s a shame because the other ladies were very helpful and polite.

We stopped into Johnshaven after a day out up the coast at Dunottar and were delighted to find The Anchor. There was a great choice available for seafood lovers, vegetarians and the kids alike. Service was spot on, the food was delicious and the bar/restaurant had a lovely modern, cosy vibe to it. Would heartily recommend 👌

Beautiful takeaway for two on Saturday night. I recommend the Chicken Korma (mild and sweet) and Chicken Madras (fairly hot) with Naan bread and steamed rice. Lovely onion and mango chutney with papadams too.

Visited here with family for lunch. Great welcome from the owner, homely setting, clean tidy and cosy, just what you need on a winters day. Extensive menu, which was well prepared and presented and delicious also. Well worth supporting this local business, you wont be disappointed.

Lovely, tasty, fresh food in a beautiful setting, very friendly staff too. Well worth a visit. Would return it I’m back in the area.

Spectacularly good. My folks owned a fish and chipper back in the 70s. So I know my fish n chips. This was the best I have ever had. My wife had seafood penne. Fabulous flavours, really nicely done. The ambience is great. The staff were great. Was here a few years ago and it was okay. It is not okay now ...it's brilliant. Someone running a tight ship here! Highly recommended!

Lovely setting, lovely food and wonderful, friendly and helpful staff...special shout out to Lukas who looked after us really well :)
