The best restaurants in North East Scotland

First time in here and the locals are friendly. Food was OK but staff brilliant

This place is elegant, vintage, and well-maintained. The hotel staff was excellent. The vibe of the hotel is quite relaxing also. I spent an hour or so in the lounge reading and enjoying some whiskey. I would recommend this place to ANYONE traveling in this area.

A small unassuming cafe right in the harbour. I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of the fish supper & this is quite possibly the best I've tasted. The chips were good but the haddock was to die for. I can't speak for the atmosphere as I like to be outside to eat but I see no reason why it wouldn't be similarly great. Totally recommended.

Good quality as long as you like beef. We had a sharing large t bone which was very good

Service was good but food was very disappointing :/

Used to be a family favourite but has become an absolute avoid. Food was abysmal: minestrone soup that was just a basic, flavourless vegetable broth; pizza arrived cold and with a cheap out-of-season squash to replace the advertised pumpkin, the cheese was congealed so it had clearly been left out waiting. Staff tried to argue that it was “the Italian way for the meat to be cold” which is the funniest excuse I’ve ever heard and I’ve lived and worked in Italy so I know that’s not true. A hilarious 12.5% service charge automatically on the bill even though the entire service we received was someone (after a long wait) taking our order and (after another long wait) delivering our food, which last I checked is what their wages pay for and does not deserve a tip. Didn’t bother staying for the “award winning tiramisu” considering everything, and that we couldn’t even have a conversation with the terrible acoustics, but saw it at a neighbouring table and it was just a pot of cream with no layers in sight which is not authentic tiramisu in the slightest. Overpriced and overrated.

Inexperienced staff- took 20 mins to check in Food was average at best, reheated and dry. No desserts. Room became way too hot over night - thermostat read 28 degrees despite air con set to 18.

We recently hired the private dining area at the Forest Cafe for a small baby shower celebration and we could not have been any happier with the service received from Micheil and the team. From organising until the final bill was paid they were helpful every step of the way. The private dining area is a beautifully decorated space that required no additional decor and comes with a speaker to play your own music through. Afternoon tea with a small soup was the perfect combination for our celebration and a good variety of sweet and savoury. We will be sure to use this facility again ⭐️

Good service Accepted my Service Dog without any problem and they came with a bowl of water to him

My favourite bar before a game. Great atmosphere, serving a good selection of beers.

Located in the small town of Inverurie, this is a lovely hotel with such friendly staff and really nice evening meals, I really recommend the steak pie, best beef in a long time. Easy to find just off the A96.

On google it shows open. We arrived and it looks closed down. No answer on telephone. Told by a local that food not sold during week and starts at 1700

Lovely coffee, friendly staff, and a really nice buzz about the place.

We had the platter starters which was amazing presentation and delicious. We then had mains of 5 different curries with mushroom and rainbow rice. This is by far the best Indian in the north east we have been to and will most definitely be back monthly. The service was spectacular we did not have to wait longer than even a few minutes for anything. 10/10 service and food and will be back very soon!

Get place for pint , game of pool and god music. Pity it is for sale if I the money I would buy it, would would be a great place to buy. Not sure about the rooms .
