The best restaurants in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

GOOD BAR TO GO TO IN PHD, great service, can play pool or darts.

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!

Have tried to visit here on three separate occasions and unfortunately still not able to get through the door. Having driven past and seen scones and coffee advertised we stopped but were greeted with a multitude of signs saying it was residents only and you had to call in advance . Driving past a week later we thought we would stop again having seen the sign out the day before. Again we weren’t able to cross the threshold . It’s a shame it’s a nice looking place and it ihas outdoor space that literally in a year I have seen one couple sitting at . I’m not sure what’s going on - perhaps staffing issues but I’m not sure I’ve gone to a stranger place that advertises on a public raid that it has refreshments but then doesn’t let you in

Great food, steak and fish cooked to perfection, served with really good chips. Went for deserts too, which we don’t normally go for, butter tablet ice cream hit the spot.

Made to feel welcome by friendly staff. Delicious food of a high standard and great value. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely venue, delicious breakfast and brilliant service from the staff group. Will definitely head back to sample lunch and their amazing cakes.

Great food and good coffee! My husband had the big breakfast which was great value at $24. The rest of us had the corn fritter with bacon, pancakes and eggs Benedict. No complaints.

We were recommended to go to Simpson’s by the wonderful staff at Peterhead Prison Museum, who told us they make the best soup there. Cold, hungry and excited at this prospect, we headed to the tearoom. Sadly the soup was off the menu for me, as it was ham & lentil and I’m vegetarian. Disappointing. My cousin enjoyed the soup. Instead, I ordered a cheese and pineapple toastie. I was asked if I wanted the crisps, salad and coleslaw. I politely declined the coleslaw but relished the prospect of the crisps and salad. The toastie was delicious. Imagine my surprise when my salad consisted of a very few bits of chopped iceberg lettuce, ONE slice of cucumber and HALF a cherry tomato! Not only that - just THREE crisps were placed on my plate. I’ve always wondered what happened to that other half a cherry tomato …….

Shambles, don't bother! Was told 45mins, finally got our order 1hour 30mins later after calling twice and being told it was on its way. Food was cold and tasteless, very disappointed!

Amazing food Presentation and taste outstanding Plenty choice for us vegetarians. Staff very welcoming. Well organized and felt very safe Very high standard of food and health and safety to highest degree during this pandemic.

By far and away the very best Beef Stew I have ever tasted. The decor might be a bit dated, but the food was excellent. The after-dinner coffee was drunk in the lounge, which was decorated in the style of a Scottish country house.

We have had many meals here. Sit in and take away. Staff are amazing. The menu has something to suit all including kids. Take away food is equally as good and very good value for money. You get what you pay for. The owner is very passionate about what he does. We have never been anywhere else for Indian food since he took over. 10/10

very very tasty tika masala and nann bread and very nice service and a scorching hot chicken korma and rice with it and some lovely plain chips would definitely recommend to everyone.

Visited Mrs Smith’s today at lunch time having walked from Methlick. The 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed lattes with the Angus beef and caramelised onion baguettes with a latte. Can highly recommend, and very reasonably priced. We’ll definitely be back.

Fabulous lunch break! We stumbled upon Dunes and what a find! The staff are great, the view is lovely and the food is super fresh and generously portioned.
