The best restaurants in Scotland

We are a group of 8 and stopped by for lunch. The service was great and the food was perfect. It’s hard to believe that a ham sandwich on white could taste so good. The soup was also excellent. Now the above and beyond. My wife planned a surprise 60th bday party for me that night…our guide contacted our waitress at the Sidings and asked if she could make a cake. The cake was incredible. Above and way beyond.

Super friendly staff and all the food is brilliant. And they’re dog friendly. Highly recommended.

All I’m going to say is the square sausage and haggis roll from here is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever eaten……go wild and add brown sauce

Great coffee and recent refurb looks good, however toilets were unclean and smelly. A little more attention required.

Friendly staff, good service. Nice to sit outside and look out over the harbor. They do not serve food anymore, but they do have an ice cream bar daytime. Fair prices on the beer.

The food was delicious and staff very good. Great gluten free food and deserts. We enjoyed everything. It exceeded our expectations.

Good breakfast rolls and coffee

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.

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

We have been here many times with our dogs. Friendly and good service and good everyday food. I had an excellent BLT toastie this week. I am a healthy eater so enjoyed that the bacon had little fat and there was plenty of salad.

We visited on Saturday 17th for Afternoon Tea, this was something we had done previously and had enjoyed it. This experience was very different, the savoury plate was very scant with little variety, the sweet plate was uninspiring as well. No one asked us if everything was okay, we were politely served but that’s where the service ended. Balathie House isn’t cheap for Afternoon Tea, it used to be sumptuous and good value, sadly it was far from it this time, we came away very disappointed and no one seemed to care.

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.

Excelente comida y servicio de primera clase. El pollo shawarma y un Balti nepalí fueron excelentes. El personal era acogedor y amable dando opciones para lo picante que queríamos que fueran las comidas. Los precios eran razonables tanto para los alimentos como para el alcohol. Volveremos la próxima vez que estemos en Aberdeen.

Friendly café/restaurant with a great range of food on offer. We were only in need of some hot drinks on a cold, but sunny day. However, we decided to add a delicious shared carrot cake to our cappuccino and pot of tea

When open (it has now closed permanently); it was a great wee eating house! We went there often. It will be sadly missed, used by many locals, tourists and organisations as an affordable restaurant.
