The best restaurants in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

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

Tried several times to get a table here but it’s often full. Managed to get one last night and we were not disappointed. Excellent food, pleasant staff. Will definitely be back.

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.

Friendly staff. Relaxing atmosphere. Amazing food. Fish was fantastic. Fresh. Local. Delicious. What more could you ask for?

I was treated like royalty here. I like Indian food and usually choose Dahl as it is a simple dish. The food here was delicious and the service gracious and thoughtful. Highly recommended

Ordered two Special set meals and the food was amazing. Portions were very generous including rice, the onion bhajis and bombay tatties were very tasty. Main courses were excellent, faultless and plenty of meat. Fast and efficient delivery service. Will definetly return for a takeaway again soon.

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.

Very good fish & chips. Used to frequent another chip shop in the area. However, it has been less impressive of late with quite tasteless chips. The chips at Rock salt &sole were really tasty, as was the fish. We'll definitely be using this chippy again.

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 …….

We’ve been to Morris’s hotel (Jock’s) many times for supper, we thought we’d give it a try for breakfast and although we were told we didn’t need to book, we decided to book ahead - on hindsight, I’m not sure if this was a good idea as they knew we were coming and got the impression that the breakfast items were probably precooked prior to us ordering them. We all had the full breakfast and two pots of tea were ordered, one to come whilst we were waiting for our breakfast and the other to come later when our breakfast arrived. Both came at once , and we had to ask for a pot of boiling water, breakfast when it came wasn’t anywhere near hot enough but plenty of it, no marmalade for the toast and had to settle for jam. I wouldn’t return for breakfast, there were four of us and we were the only ones there until another couple arrived as we were leaving, I would return for lunch or supper but need to improve greatly on their breakfast.

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!

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.

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.
