The best restaurants in Troup Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

This was our second visit to Gardenstown. Last time we just had coffee and cake in this lovely café. We stopped for lunch this time and enjoyed delicious soup. For such an out of the way village, this café is always busy. It’s well worth a visit.

Visited here for Sunday "carvery" whilst staying onsite. Service was excellent by all staff members, however we were expecting a carvery where you help yourself to a selection of roast meats and veg. This wasn't the case it was just a regular Sunday roast prepared in the kitchen and served at your table. The roast itself was very average,the only veg being peas and carrots along with cheap tasting pigs in blankets. This was priced at around £21 pp for 2 courses,I think it was done as cheap as possible. Although the food tasted absolutely fine it was by no means anything other than average and definitely not a carvery.

On a very wet day we were recommended to come here and were not disappointed. Warm and friendly welcome, excellent service and delicious lunch. Akira and Carol both attended to little details without asking - ie Carol serving an extra large portion of chips when I declined other veg that were on the menu (brother in law pleased to help me out!) and Akira giving my sister a takeaway box as she couldn't manage the whole of her panini. Brillliant. I live in Devon so may not be passing through again but would wholeheartedly recommend visiting.

The clubhouse was quiet with some people having a meal which they seemed to be enjoying and others just having a lunchtime drink. The local people were very friendly and the prices competitive. I enjoyed my visit

Delicious breaded haddock, good sized portions of chips, homemade crisps were delicious, donuts very tasty. Friendly staff

Absolutely beautiful food, portion sizes are great and well worth what you pay! Convenient ordering process and pick up is pleasant. Won't use another chipper now

Lovely cup of tea and somme cake from Shona xx

Great meal, friendly and attentive staff and reasonably priced. Great atmosphere. We were the last ones out but was never out under pressure to leave.

Amazing cakes! A really good selection. The savoury menu is also really appetising, with a selection of sandwiches, soup, wraps, jacket potatoes, etc. Also a fabulous range of tea, coffees and soft drinks. The views across the bay are gorgeous. Next door is a lovely homeware/gift shop with a wide selection of high end gifts, clothing and home decor items. Take out is also available.

Great little spot on the seafront and the food was good! Friendly and quick service. Would definitely go back when we are next around!

Excellent hotel…comfortable rooms, nice bar, great restaurant with an excellent menu…and fantastic freshly cooked breakfasts….

This is an amazing place to stay, excellent rooms and exceptionally clean. Staff attentive breakfast is a feast in itself. Will most definitely be back

Vine aquí como parte de un grupo de amigos. El restaurante tenía en realidad cerrado tenían abiertas para nosotros con un menú reducido, que como la mayoría de w. La comida era la típica comida de pub normal en el mejor. Sin embargo el servicio w como magnífico.

Have dined here over many years and it has been so reliably good. Recently had dinner and when we arrived for our 5:30pm booking the place was already packed which is always a great sign. Decor is fabulous, staff are always friendly and efficient. The menu was so interesting it was tricky to choose. I'm pescetarian and went for the haddock kiev, never having seen that as an option before. Every item on my plate was perfection and I'd have licked it clean if socially acceptable. Then the creme brulee was just heavenly. Could not recommend highly enough 😋
