The best restaurants in North East Scotland

Hidden gem! Well worth a visit - lovely food, very reasonably priced and all served with a smile by the friendly staff.

Is it still operating normally now? I came here a few afternoons ago and found that the store was closed.

Gran servicio y bollos como de costumbre pero decepcionados por los perros en la cafetería, uno se pregunta sobre olfatear a la gente y lamer migas de la mesa, antihigiénico , si se permite la entrada de perros deben mantenerse bajo control

I have achieved my Masters degree from this prestigious University of Scotland in the UK, and I’m proud to become a part of this educational institution.

Stayed over after a car breakdown and staff couldn't have been more helpful. Had a lovely chickpea and spinach curry and the full breakfast next morning was top notch. Room was clean and cosy with large flat screen TV. Would happily return. Thanks guys

Came here for Sunday lunch whilst visiting st Cyrus for the weekend after seeing the reviews of the Sunday roast. Waitress was friendly and the food arrived piping hot and the portions were huge! The roast beef was so good just melted in the mouth. The sticky toffee pudding and custard was so good aswell and all reasonably priced. Would recommended and will be back to try more of the menu when in the area.

This was an overnight stay with breakfast and dinner, so I experienced the full enjoyment of this family hotel. These hardworking and popular people are busy upgrading the hotel to modern standards, but they have kept the best of the traditional interior, small reminders of when this place was right at the centre of a very busy village, complete with railway line and agricultural mart, both of which have been repurposed to great effect. See Maud Railway Museum and Old Mart Cafe for details. The welcome at the Station Hotel is warm and informative, complete with unnecessary apology for some ongoing refurb noise. It's obvious everything's being done to a very high standard. The room was comfortable, clean and the tea tray contained an extra selection of fruit and herbal teas and a brunch bar that was more interesting than the usual biscuits. Evening meal was in the bar, where it quickly became obvious what a popular place this is for locals, including a jolly book group, and others who just popped in for a drink and a natter. The food was great, made all the more special by a section in the menu dedicated to local sources... and they really were (sometimes the word local does a bit of heavy lifting), so here's what was on my plate... fruit and veg from Longleys of Maud, seafood from McConnell's of Stuartfield and Peterhead and - when I return, which will be soon - most likely meat from Ewan Morris of Mintlaw and Stuartfield. Wow! And I have to give a shout out to the chef, especially for the smoked haddock fishcake, which is now up there with Cullen Skink on my delishfishometer chart. After a comfortable night, breakfast was in the oldest part of the hotel, a room filled with charm and history. I opted for the smaller breakfast as I was attending a morning event elsewhere, but the eggs were beautifully cooked and tasty, and I could have as much toast as I wanted. I was sad to leave this hotel with its lovely hosts and staff. A lot of bigger places could learn from the Station Hotel's Hospitality With A Heart.

So good this place. Top burgers, fries, and view

Spur of the moment decision proved a great choice as we enjoyed a lovely fresh, tasty lunch at Clarets in the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre. Excellent views over the golf course and the River Dee. Service was first class, food excellent. All in all a really above par choice to visit. Won’t be the last time!

Great food fast delivery. Chilli chips are a must if you like spice 🥵Kashmiri korma and mushroom rice delicious 😋 chicken and Brie pakoras amazing ordered some mango chutney to go with them 👍

Nice wee bar with cheap and good jukebox

We popped in for breakfast and we are so glad that we did! The owners were so kind, personable and great chat. Very welcoming and were genuinely interested in both of us. We can't fault the food either, and the coffee was the best we've had in recent memory! All for extremely reasonable prices too. Lovely wee place tucked away from the busy city centre, well worth the 10 minute walk to the quay. Whenever we come back to Aberdeen we shall definitely be coming back to visit :)

Brae is close to home, in the village of Chapleton, between Newtonhill & Stonehaven. Popped in just before lunchtime on a Sunday, and received a very warm welcome. I was there to get takeaway goods. Both members of staff encountered were very friendly, and attended to my order in a quick & efficient manner. Hot chocolates and mochas very nice, special praise for the apple crumble cake. Utterly delicious and the dog liked it as well! 😬 Nice decor, it was also very clean. I will happily return again.

Excellent cooked breakfast. Tasty and perfectly cooked. Never disappoints. Friendly staff. The scones are the best.

Cute, small energy, local, professional. Fair prices and delicious breakfast foods. Good coffee and tea. Cabin motif, clean and well organized.
