The best restaurants serving British food in Aboyne, Upper Deeside and Donside Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

We had a very interesting selection of toasties for lunch - had never thought of putting haggis or venison salami with cheese - both very tasty. Great coffee too and friendly service. The cakes looked great as well but we were too full!

After our round of golf we had a lovely meal in pleasent surroundings great service and also please note open to visitors not just golfers.

You must eat here! I insist. The best supper we had all week. The terrine was the best we have ever tasted and the freshly caught haddock was amazing. Great food served by great people.

We visited the centre which was amazing, to be met by a most delightful young lady called Hazel who entertained us with the history until a legend of a man called Davie joined us. Davie was born in Braemar and is the most interesting person to talk to. A totally amazing place to visit

Great service and very good food

Had a great Continental breakfast and coffee ☕😋

Beautiful spot by the river to eat, wonderful views to the falls, plenty choice on the menu. I had large breakfast which was excellent and service was quick and staff friendly.

Reviewed this place positively well over a year ago and - if anything - it is even better. Customers were queueing out the door and along the pavement. The staff, though very busy, seem to juggle every task with good nature and fun. Kelly, in particular, is amazing. The food is always fresh, hot and tasty. Just a pity it's not open 7 days, but then, everybody is entitled to time off and this is quality, not quantity. The home baking is in a class of its own.

This venue has sadly burnt down. However we stayed at the Braemar Lodge Cabins and they were absolutely 5 star

Lovely outdoor seating area. The sun was shining so even better. It was very busy inside so I would recommend booking first. We weren’t able to eat outside because they were short staffed. Dog friendly too which is great. Will return again.

Excellent wee find, very friendly staff, very nice coffee, tea with a great selectionof cakes, great gift shop too with plenty of items to chose from.

Have tried to visit here on three separate occasions and unfortunately still not able to get through the door. Having driven past and seen scones and coffee advertised we stopped but were greeted with a multitude of signs saying it was residents only and you had to call in advance . Driving past a week later we thought we would stop again having seen the sign out the day before. Again we weren’t able to cross the threshold . It’s a shame it’s a nice looking place and it ihas outdoor space that literally in a year I have seen one couple sitting at . I’m not sure what’s going on - perhaps staffing issues but I’m not sure I’ve gone to a stranger place that advertises on a public raid that it has refreshments but then doesn’t let you in

Don't go here. I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala. What they served was a weird magenta colored soup, very sweet, with chicken chunks in it. Not sure what it was except awful. Also, we ordered a couple of prosecco cocktails which were warm. Eat a ready made sandwich from the grocer.

Everything was impeccable, one of the best meals we ever had, highly recommend it.

Ordered drinks and breakfast rolls, my hot chocolate was nearly cold and more like warm milk, the coffee was just about ok but the bacon roll was served on a brioche bun and the sausage was burnt and very salty. The soup was lovely but everything else was below standard and definitely not worth the money, we will not be returning
