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😋

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.

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.

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.

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.

Visited here for the first time when driving South from Aberdeen. Lovely cafe here with more seating than you first think (plus outside when the weather allows). Great home baking selection...enjoyed a scone and a custard cream biscuit with cups of tea then could not leave without taking away a lemon and coconut slice! All 10 out of 10. Friendly staff made us feel most welcome and I have already recommended here to a couple of friends. We look forward to stopping here again.

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.

So packed in now and chairs cannot be pushed back to get in. Sharp practice of serving large coffees at obviously higher prices when only a coffee had been ordered. Yes, there are two sizes but the server should ask!

Got vouchers for a wedding gift and very surprised we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner bed and breakfast the staff are very friendly and helpful Very quaint place will definitely be back

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

We stayed in lodge not far from this hotel and after reading that our host recommends this place for a meal we decided to give it a go in our last night.Food was delicious and portions were really generous. Thai green curry was outstanding, lots of flavour and nicely presented. All staff were super friendly and nice.
