The best restaurants in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

Worth a visit whether you want gardening gear or are hungry. Went again, 4 of us, bit noisy this time. Try the baked potato with sweet chilli chicken.

Great place for a coffee and snack, plus they support local people in need.

Lovely plump white crunchy battered fish.. And chips are great too.

Great tasting menu - excellent dishes and incredible value for money! Lovely friendly staff

Usually have lovely food but unfortunately this time my fish and chips were overcooked especially the fish such a shame but hesitant to order again in future

Most excellent coffee in a generous cup with real chocolate on top of the cappuccino. We had brunch of fuffy pancakes with the most tasty bacon and maple syrup. Yum yum!!

Good food, although the vegetables were a little overdone. Good service but a little noisy in parts of the restaurant, where the larger parties were. Recommended though.

Had a delicious baked potato with vegan haggis and vegan cheese. Absolutely delicious and served with a really fresh tasty salad.

What I witnessed at BrewDog Ellon was not just bad service — it was outright racism, plain and simple. My partner and her friend — a Black woman — arrived before me and asked for a table. Her friend, who spoke to the host, was immediately told there were no tables available and that they could sit outside. When she politely asked if they could be notified if something opened up, the host responded with obvious irritation and said there would be nothing available for hours. Yet when I walked in less than a minute later, as a white man, the exact same host told me tables were available — specifically, high tables that she never mentioned to them. I was seated immediately. When my partner and her friend came to join me, the host gave them a disgusted look and refused to even acknowledge them. She spoke only to me — as if they weren’t worth her time. It got even worse. My partner’s friend’s drink was randomly cancelled. While the rest of us received our food and drinks, she got nothing — not even an update. We waited over 30 minutes, and she only got her order after she went up to ask for it herself. The message was loud and clear: she was being deliberately ignored. The difference in treatment was not subtle — it was targeted, dehumanizing, and racist. Watching it unfold was infuriating and heartbreaking. No one should be made to feel so unwelcome and invisible because of the colour of their skin. BrewDog talks a big game about diversity and inclusion, but at Ellon, that’s clearly just for show. This experience was humiliating and disgusting, and they should be held accountable.

Always a favourite of ours for either a breakfast or a baked potato - one of best views looking over the nearby river. You’ll. or 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.

Great wee place, food was brilliant and waiting staff were very good with my little daughter. Good environment. Will defiantly be returning.

Lovely food and good atmosphere

Room was spotless with a very comfortable bed. Staff were attentive and friendly throughout our stay at Tor na Coille. It was such a treat to be able to just walk downstairs and receive a first class meal in the restaurant in the evening. Plenty of variety at breakfast. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

THE BEST FOOD in Turriff they deserve 5 stars
