The best restaurants in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

Absolutely beautiful food, portion sizes are great and well worth what you pay! Convenient ordering process and pick up is pleasant. Won't use another chipper now

Excellent lunch, but it usually is! I go to Balmakewan quite often, and have not been let down yet. Sometimes it's just cakes & coffee (killer cakes.....!) Or a filled baguette. You can take a wonder down to the river to work up an appetite or just go for it.

We had been recommended that we should try kat’s diner. A warm and friendly welcome. As soon as I notice currywurst was on the menu I was sold it was like being back in Germany agin. The atmosphere was very good with the American theme. A recommend stop for anyone who happens to be on a motorbike too.

After our round of golf we had a lovely meal in pleasent surroundings great service and also please note open to visitors not just golfers.

Lovely wee gem of a place for a coffee & cake in Kintore. Not quite sure where to park as there seems to be parking beside/behind. Also, the entrance is at the side and not very well sign posted so people inside waiting for the rest of their parties to arrive were shouting and pointing "to go round the side" through the window. Met my friend for brunch and had poached eggs on toast. Great poached eggs as they were perfectly cooked! Cakes looked amazing but we refrained. Maybe next time. Would recommend a visit and will certainly be going back for another visit.

Fab! Fab! Fab! What a gem! I ate here with family after a recommendation and now I cant stop telling everyone to go here! The food was absolutely fantastic and the staff were brilliant! I think the North East is lagging behind with great restaurants that sell local, fresh brilliant food which is a great shame as it has a full larder but The Fife Arms ticks all the boxes! If you want a guaranteed brilliant meal that u will love every mouthful then head here! What a winner!

Lovely, friendly staff and homemade soups etc. Went in for a quick takeaway lunch. Well worth visiting 😊

Gordon and Teresa's upgrade to this pub has been a great thing for Banff. It's enjoyed by both locals and holiday-makers, and is a great place to meet up with friends for a drink. It's great to still have a decent pub in town, run by a local couple, who are willing to go that extra mile to satisfy their customers.

Always friendly and helpful staff, great food and coffee. The staff are always smiling and chatting. Relaxed interiors

My wife, who had been here before with a friend, suggested that we pop n for afternoon tea/coffee. I was impressed with the service here and the scones were very good. The Stitch House is not only a cafe but a community hub. They provide an outlet for the sale of local crafts which are well displayed, not only in the shop but also in the cafe section. On entering the cafe section, there is a small kiddies' play area to the left. They also provide a Youth Cafe on Friday and Saturday evenings where the youngsters of the village can meet in a safe environment. I was really ipressed with these premises and will certainly be back.

What a lovely evening, great food, friendly staff and the quiz was a bonus. What a laugh the place was buzzing.

You must eat here! I insist. The best supper we had all week. The terrine was the best we have ever tasted and the freshly caught haddock was amazing. Great food served by great people.
