The best restaurants in Mearns Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

Can't deny this bakery bakes and sells delicious fayre......but possibly a re-think on good hygiene practices. All goods are handled with bare hands and the couple of times we've been in did not see any hand washing being done. The tray bake counter did have tongs but weren't used. I dread to think of cash being handled in amongst all this. Have been in other bakeries where head coverings, tongs and disposable gloves appear to be mandatory.

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.

You always receive a warm, friendly welcome at the Living Rooms. The food is excellent, fresh, home cooked and very reasonably priced. Their home bakes are amazing too.

Excellent lunch, food was lovely. Service was great. Would highly recommend for a lovely drive out in a nice Restaurant overlooking the harbour.

Stappit further is doric for full up A fabulous stop for a cup of tea and a sandwich very good local food . Sitting just on the left before you turn into Gourdon seating inside

I arrived just before closing but was only looking for a take away coffee. The staff were so rude and made me feel uncomfortable- and I was out of shop before closing time. I won’t return which is a shame as I will be making that journey regularly

Did not stay in the hotel but enjoyed a first rate lunch - a gargantuan portion of steak and ale pie with the most tender beef and delicious sauce from a good menu with daily specials.Very friendly and efficient staff.Very good local beer and fresh coffee

The used to be award winning restaurant and takeaway. It was greasy non crispy batter that was slimy and difficult to pick up to eat. Chips were tasteless and greasy. Portion sizes very small. Not worth the money. Very disappointed.

Read some mixed reviews on here for this place. Tried it tonight bought 2 fish suppers. Fish fried fresh for my order it was absolutely first class. Good size portion and great quality. Chips are real chip shop chunky types, not at all greasy. Best fish and chips I’ve had in ages

First visit, moved recently into Johnshaven and was told about May Garden but had been closed during summer. Glad I waited, had a lovely meal, had spring rolls x 3 medium size per portion, chicken kung po and chicken with mushrooms and fried rice, all very nice. Would recommend. 😃

Inconsistent, never know if you are buying a great fish and chips, or an inedible one, chips so often hard, undercooked greasy and terrible, next time chips are fantastic, only to be let down on the next visit, fish is generally fine, staff hit and miss depends who is on, younger members of staff generally better and friendly, sadly as our local chippy, can no longer take the risk of a terrible expensive treat to put in the bin.
