The best restaurants in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

Beautiful takeaway for two on Saturday night. I recommend the Chicken Korma (mild and sweet) and Chicken Madras (fairly hot) with Naan bread and steamed rice. Lovely onion and mango chutney with papadams too.

From the minute you step through the door you’re at ease with the ambiance of the place and friendliness of the staff. When booking let them know of any dietary requirements as the choices are unbelievably wonderful. I’m GF and DF and enjoyed every mouthful and of course a couple of cocktails 🍸 doesn’t hurt 🥰 will be back very soon x

Lovely cafe with plenty of choice. The food is always good quality and freshly made. Nice friendly welcome too from the staff. You might need to wait for a table but it is worth the wait.

I have been racing Karts and Cars since 1991 and was looking for a kart track that actually lets you have a feel of the actual sport. I’m leaving this review because we had the most enjoyable authentic karting experience that it’s possible to get without having your own kart. I came here with my 11 year old son, he’s done some karting before but not in the wet. It was raining heavily, and the karts are on slick tyres = fun! This is the exact experience that trains young person. We have a briefing, get wet suits on and get in (contrary to another reviewer I just read, NO karting EVER requires a damn fireproof racesuit, he knows nothing of the sport). 45 minutes of skidding and power sliding around, my son spinning out a lot but loving it and learning lots, with the supervisor on the quad to get him back on track. A shame there’s no lap timing, other than a stopwatch, but without a doubt this is the place you come to have a thrill, a great track, fast karts, not over sanitised and boring, unlike the indoor electric karts which are slow, have traction control and are spreading like a virus into the sport of karting.

Great place for a coffee. Fantastic setting, cosy and comfortable, friendly staff, great coffee and reasonably priced- highly recommend

Usual reliable and friendly delivery of lovely hot food.

3 of us had the breakfasts and one had a toasted cheese and red onion sarnie, teas coffee and toast. Everything was very nice, bacon could have been cooked longer and broken/chipped tea pot should be replaced but thats just our opinion. We will definately be back.....yum!

Doner kebab meat was burnt and dry and disgusting. Waste of money 😤

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

Stayed over on work trip. Beautiful hotel with inviting reception area and friendly staff - this first impression absolutely nails it for me as to whether or not I ever go back. And I'll be back. Had a very long drive over from Inverness via Lecht - so it was lovely to have a warm, friendly reception. I had a single room with en-suite shower. Spotlessly clean and everything you could need. Plenty tea/coffee/bourbons etc. Toiletries provided - nice touch. The bed was spotlessly clean with fluffy duvet and pillows - really comfy with a huge throw on top for colder nights but not needed as I didn't even need the heating on - the room temperature suited me fine. TV had lots of channels. Parking is right at the front of the hotel and well lit - this is really important as a lone traveller. Electric Vehicle charge point just a couple of hundred yards away. Had a great sleep. Bedroom was right at the front of the hotel so I got to see a beautiful sunrise on a glorious October morning. Breakfast was great - nothing was a problem and again - a nice warm welcome. Would 100% recommend and hope to be back soon. Go!

Over priced, bad manners, just not a nice place. The chap serving us was making it up as he went along. Stay away

Love going here for food, staff are so friendly, you get treated more like a friend rather than a customer. Brilliant food everytime. 5 out of 5

A friendly environment and fantastic staff

1st time visiting since its on our doorstep and must say we was not disappointed!!! Lovely and cosy very bonnie however it is small and some tables bit close together. Wee hidden gem of banff! Located in the pharmacy above the post office side. I got soup and a panini ! Soup was delicious. Panini was chicken cheese and chorizo, the chorizo was abit too thick and chewy for me would prefer thin slices. I did request no tomato on my salad (2 out of 3 panini salad no tomato) however mine arrived with tomato so i couldnt eat the salad simple mistake made. Service was very friendly and decent size plates decent speed of service and decent prize cant go wrong! Will definitely be back. Didnt have room for dessert so need to come try!
