The best restaurants in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

Great place for a quick bite to eat

Best food and good stand nice staff

We have been in Ullapool for 4 evenings, eating differently each evening And the cooking here was the best I had lamb chops with an excellent dauphinoise potato followed by really good unusual apple and gooseberry tart with creme anglais She had a chicken breast stuffed and excellent cheesecake Memorable But the waiting staff were miserable dull uncharming sad and the room was hash lighting and ambiance

Tried an egg and cheese muffin with haggis. What a success. Shame it's only available in Scotland. But guaranteed when I visit again that's my breakfast

Very disappointing, low quality ingredients and plated up with no imagination. Prices are average for what was on offer, but overpriced for what was presented.

My other half booked B&B for one night, just for the hell of it. I’ve given our stay a 5 ⭐️ review. The setting is lovely, service was excellent, plenty of staff, they were all lovely & very attentive, we also had dinner, the menu is not extensive but the choice was fine and the food when it arrived was excellent, clearly all home made & delicious, the biggest fish & chips I think we have ever seen! 😆 Our room was very snug, barely enough space to walk around the bed, there were tea & coffee facilities in the room but the funky lighting made it a bit difficult to get to the tea tray easily, no chairs, only the bed to sit on and the en suite had a sliding door, which I feel always indicates space is tight. The bathrooom was small but modern, clean and the shower was full sized, the towels were big, soft and luxurious, what more do you need. There were the usual hotel noises from other guests, we could hear those above us walking about, water running, etc. I think we were just jealous because 3 steps and we were in our en suite, 2 steps to the door, no opportunity to move about. 😂 However, come night time we slept really well, not a single noise before 7:30ish and no sound from outside or cars at all. All in all 5 ⭐️ are deserved, despite the small room, we don’t stay somewhere to sit in our room and the service, staff and food were all faultless. Would we stay again -absolutely.

Since my previous visits the choice on the Menu has reduced, is limited , presentation was poor and to be honest it was a disappointing night

Was having a family Christmas lunch there were 4 adults and 2 children, we were welcomed in,all proper procedures were adhered to, server asked about allergies before we ordered great but went down hill fast from there 3 of the adults had carvery we were asked what meats we wanted 2 wanted all 3 1 wanted gammon and turkey that was all we were asked.When the meal came she did not know what was on plate.Potatoes,vegetables etc were already on plate not in dishes to take what you wanted (as we were not asked what we wanted) the food was not even look warm and there were very full plates went back, it was not even asked when the server saw the full plates if there was a problem, as this was a Christmas family lunch and £60 we were very disappointed and would think twice about visiting again.

Very unhappy with the whole experience here, rude, unfriendly staff that made us feel like an inconvenience when ordering, no smiles or politeness, the only word spoken was the price we had to pay, after a 40 minute wait we received our order which was just a soup and a main meal, which was also a huge disappointment - for the price we pay we would expect cooked peas! And no crispy dried up chips that looked to have been cooked over and over. I have been here on 3 occasions now and the last two were unpleasant where the counter staff made us feel unwelcome just even approaching the place for a fly cup and a stale scone, so I thought we would give it another chance but 100% wont be back again and we will be taking our custom elsewhere.

Went here on sat noon,sat outside for ten mins and service just blanked us-I then went inside and stood for another 5mins at the counter area,staff saw me there and made eye contact but still nobody came near us..we left and went two doors down where we got served promptly

Lovely welcome as soon as I walked through the door and shown to the table. Ordered the small breakfast and there wasn’t an element on it that wasn’t cooked spot on.

Excellent place to take young children. Plenty for them to enjoy in the play area . Lots of outdoor seating. Excellent lunch or snacks and we have had both

Lovely place! I had the tomato salad and blue murder cheese. Delicious. First time here and will definitely go back. Loved how you can sit outside too. Dogs are very welcome.

This is becoming very much a favourite for us. We have started phoning the day before to reserve produce to collect the next day. We have a quick once round the shop to see if there is any new products to add to our order consisting of 1/2 lb steak pies for my father in law who just loves them, 1 lb steak pies for ourself along with apple crumbles, scones, short bread to a total of £78, worth every penny. Then we go into the restaurant for lunch. Both of us are soup lovers so we settled for potato and leek to start, then my wife ordered a g f ham and cheese toastie, I opted for a cheese and onion toastie with coleslaw on the side. To wash it down the wife had a cappucino, I settled for a diet irn bru. We were both well satisfied set up for the rest of the day. A worthwhile trip. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back.

Stayed here for just 1 night while exploring Balmoral and the local area. Room was lovely with a stunning view over the Loch. Even had time to try the golf which was a nice little course. Found the owners to be nice and friendly. Would stay here again.
