The best restaurants in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

We stopped by The Coffee Apothecary in Pitmedden for lunch today. It was our first time visiting and it was a delightful experience. I ordered the savoury pancakes, which came with bacon, eggs, and maple syrup. The combination was delicious - everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully balanced. To go with it, I had an Earl Grey tea served in a lovely blue willow china cup. The tea arrived loose leaf in a pot with a removable filter, which added a nice touch of ceremony to the experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a cold winter day, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout. Overall, a great spot for lunch with a cozy, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!

Two meals in same week. First was fine but elevated by enthusiastic young waiter, second was marred by incredibly disinterested staff (middle aged women and I’m one so I feel free to say that). Had to ask for tap water and they only brought 1 glass, my husband missed out. My bad, I won’t try a third time!

Always a pleasure. Best fish and chips in Peterhead

Popped in here for breakfast, Absolutely perfect food and huge portion, really friendly staff and atmosphere. Highly recommend to everyone!

Visited the Restaurant for a Birthday Meal Food was excellent Staff very welcoming and friendly Staff went above and beyond to help, getting a small candle placed on the Birthday girls desert! Well done to all involved and working there as the atmosphere is great and you can see this with the mix of clientele from young to old! Great variety of food from fish, beef, chicken, et. And vegetarian option Great taste and size, we were full at the end of the visit!

Very welcoming, rooms very clean and comfortable. Afternoon tea £12.50 precooked was delicious, just what we needed after the 6 hrs drive. Only advice shame breakfast wasn't a fresh cooked, just a bowl of ceramic and crossiant in the room. Tea, coffee, milk supplied and there was a small fridge in the room.

We had an afternoon tea for Emily’s upcoming birthday. Wonderful selection of sandwiches sausage rolls, scones and strawberry tarts as well as numerous tray bakes and jam and cream. Absolutely delicious

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

Just what a proper country pub/restaurant should be….. great service, nice friendly atmosphere, and the food was spot-on! Will definitely be back soon.

Great quality food at much affordable price. The staff was very friendly and helped me in ordering the right quantity for a 10 people get together at my place. Will definitely be ordering more regularly.. highly recommended!!

One of the best fish and chips I’ve tasted. My 1st time ordering from here. Will definitely order again. Highly recommended.

Well needed hoagie after a photography walk and my camera broke, cheered me right up. Banging kebab and lovely staff

Lovely little place for a meal. Was very fast service and tastes delicious. My favourite touch to the place was that the plates they were using were the same ones my parents had years ago. It definitely brought back some lovely memories of family meal times with the folk. Can't fault this place at all.

Used to be a great place to eat but it closed no longer after covid struck used to go there reagulary miss it a lot

A phenomenal afternoon spent with incredible women in a wonderful setting, with the best entertainment, excellent refreshments served throughout by the most outstanding team. Cannot wait to do it all again, thank you Andrea Kane and the rest of the team at the Haughton Arms Hotel 🫶💙
