The best restaurants in North East Scotland

Best breakfast (rosti, peppers, parmesan, eggs..) on holiday to Aberdeenshire and surrounds. Refreshingly original menu with great coffee to boot!

Atmosphere not as friendly as the other dining options in Braemar, but menu price wise was on a par. Husband’s venison casserole came in a small dish with some mash and no veg. My chicken kebab had a huge portion of chicken and I enjoyed that and the salads but the chips definitely felt reheated rather than freshly made - as I also had rice and a wrap perhaps safer to not serve them with the dish. Maybe the burgers are a better bet here, but I would pick the other Braemar options in preference.

The Staff at cool gourmet were very friendly, the menu and food were excellent , quaint little cafe in Stonehaven just off the harbour, best Cullen skink I've had in scotland will definitely visit again when I return.

Good ambience but a bit disappointed on being catfished on the food. The images on the menu are very overpromised with a picture of a proper broast/fried chicken being displayed, only to receive chicken leg fried with no batter on. Portion size of the ‘large’ shawarma was absolutely miniscule considering we paid £10 for it. I understand rising costs but felt that this was a bit much. Hygiene was great in the shop. Absolutely clean and pristine. Staff were polite and welcoming.

One best meals to date.Food was amazing and good value for being upmarket.Service was spot on and not long to wait.Wine was very per bottle.Highly recommend

Best fish & chips by far ... travelled up from England to get them!! Well tasty.

It was a nice day and we were looking forward to sitting outside for lunch. The outside area was closed off, not sure why, and we sat inside. After about 5 minutes the place was humid, full of smoke/steam from the kitchen and it was uncomfortable. Not sure if the extractor fan was working, if it was then it didn't do the job. The place wasn't that busy. I couldn't get out fast enough to get some fresh air.

Excellent hotel…comfortable rooms, nice bar, great restaurant with an excellent menu…and fantastic freshly cooked breakfasts….

A friend and I found this spot on the way back to Alford from Glasgow. We stopped in expecting the normal cafe style food. Boy were we wrong! We both had the unpretentious sounding ham, egg and tatties. What we got was perfectly cooked pork belly. Crispy and creamy pomme anna, a stunning apple and radish roumalade and the most delicious hollandaise foam. It was amazing. Everything on the plate married beautifully together and left us replete with forest flavours chasing around our mouths. The staff are just lovely. Welcoming and warm. And the cafe itself is a great place to kick back and relax. We can’t recommend this enough. PS. I bought my husband here two days later and he was equally impressed.

Best ice cream in Lincolnshire we love visiting here on the way back from the seaside it's lovely with lots of seating too

Great food, and quick delivery.

This place has certainly gone down hill, we visited on Saturday Sept 28 morning, the service was terrible, coffees were cold … We certainly won’t return.

Lovely plump white crunchy battered fish.. And chips are great too.

Excellent meal and top class service. Chicken shawarma and a Nepalese Balti were both excellent. Staff were welcoming and friendly giving options for how spicy we wanted the meals to be. Prices were reasonable for both food and alcohol. Will be back next time we are in Aberdeen.

Same very good selection of beers . Didn't try the food . Staff seemed pleasant enough. However be aware this place serves great beer however if you are looking for a soft drink check the price before ordering. The soft drinks are more expensive than the beers.
