The best restaurants in Stonehaven and Lower Deeside Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

Cafe noir was just amazing! I walked in with a kind welcome from the staff! Very friendly and quick with the order. The food was delicious. 5/5 experience!

Lovely, friendly staff and homemade soups etc. Went in for a quick takeaway lunch. Well worth visiting 😊

The tagline of this restaurant is proper Seafood and they are 100% correct! For a start, the setting is wonderful. It’s right on the pier and there is free parking just behind. Views both sides are beautiful and Stonehaven provides ample space to walk off a great dinner. The staff were professional, knowledgable and friendly and enhanced the experience. The drinks were great, both mocktails and wine and the bread and butter superb. The starters were divine! For me they were the best, the sauce with my mussels was excellent. Our mains were very tasty (Hake & the Turbot) and finished off with scrumptious desserts. We will definitely be back when up this side of the world again!

Very nice B&B. Ideal quiet location in the center and within walking distance of the sea. We had a large room from which we could even see the sea. Loving and cozy furnishings. Very friendly reception.

The owner if this place and thier Aberdeen restaurant has been super welcoming to both venues and the food is just amazing! Can taste the care and quality in every bite. Can't recommend highly enough.

Excellent fish - light and crispy batter. Chips delicious too! A lovely spot. Might be a wait for orders due to it being so rightfully popular!

Great coffee and patisseries. Nice for a break on the coastal route.

It’s about time we wrote this! We love The Station Hotel! We live locally and we’ve eaten here so many times over the last 10 years - sometimes as a couple, sometimes with family, sometimes with friends, and we had my partner’s surprise 70th birthday party here earlier this year. The front of house staff, led often by Lynne, are always very attentive, chatty and helpful. Gordon, head chef, and his team, ensures that dinner is always expertly cooked and portions are a great size. Bar staff also make our regular visits pleasurable and fun. Also, Murray, Lesley and Ross always offer us a warm welcome if they’re around . Downsides? None! Thanks to everybody for making each visit enjoyable.

Excellent little gem in Stonehaven. Friendly office service. Excellent quality food. Good variety to suit all needs . Would definitely recommend for lunch or quick coffee and cake.

The Staff at cool gourmet were very friendly, the menu and food were excellent , quaint little cafe in Stonehaven just off the harbour, best Cullen skink I've had in scotland will definitely visit again when I return.

Had a lovely stay. Room was clean and spacious. Great value for money with a lovely breakfast included. I stayed with my two children who are under 10. Our room was lovely and quiet. We slept well. I would recommend

I was treated like royalty here. I like Indian food and usually choose Dahl as it is a simple dish. The food here was delicious and the service gracious and thoughtful. Highly recommended

Ordered two Special set meals and the food was amazing. Portions were very generous including rice, the onion bhajis and bombay tatties were very tasty. Main courses were excellent, faultless and plenty of meat. Fast and efficient delivery service. Will definetly return for a takeaway again soon.

Booked a table for 1300. Arrived at 1250 and waited for table to be prepared. Food ordered and waited 70 minutes and still no food and no explanation as to the delay. Other tables experiencing same problem even though there weren't too many diners. Had to leave without food and, again, no reasons given as to why there was such a long delay.

My Husband and I were at the Tina/Cher Tribute last night at the Drumlithie Inn. This is such a lovely, cosy place. Our meal was lovely, I had the fish and chips and my Husband had the Steak Pie (lots of steak) we both really enjoyed our meal. My Husband then managed to squeeze in an Eve’s Pudding and custard which I tasted and it was delicious! The Tribute was very good and the “Happy Atmosphere” was amazing! Everyone was so friendly, it was like one Big Happy Party! 🥳 Would definitely recommend a visit David and Ian are always so Friendly and Happy to Help at all times, nothing is a bother to them. Well done guys!! Keep up the great job you are doing. 👍👏
