The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in North East Scotland

Nice place and beautiful surroundings, but I think I got food poisoning from the hot chocolate- likely the milk. I only had water before going to the Riverside Cafe and a hot chocolate (from there) that day and couldn't eat anything after, without being sick. Even after 4 days I'm still struggling to eat anything and feel generally ill. Really unfortunate as the place was lovely. Hopefully it doesn't happen to anyone else and something that the team will be careful of in the future.

Soup was ok, but the wraps was disgusting. Ordered wrap with extra meat fillings, and couldn’t feel any meat , felt only heated veggies, never asked if I would like any sauce in it. Also waiting for 2 wraps and soup for 30 mins unacceptable. Won’t be back again and won’t recommend to anyone

Popped in on a cycle ride. I thought the food was outstanding (I had a toasted Chicken and Chorizo sandwich. Coffee also really good. Served nice and quickly - top marks!!!!

We booked a table for 4 on a Thursday evening. The name of the restaurant kind of suggests that this might be a vegan/vegetarian only venue - it couldn’t be further from the truth - there is certainly a full vegan menu but there is an extensive menu offering non-v/v options also. All three courses that we ordered were creatively put together and well presented and cooked. I have scored down for atmosphere as the restaurant/bar was very very quiet on the Thursday evening when we visited. Based on the food service the restaurant should have been booked up. Aberdonians/visitors - if you’re not eating at The Braided Fig you are missing out. And as the saying goes - use it or lose it. Alas, the large braided fig tree in the centre atrium is no longer - a victim of Covid it seems? Even though it remains in the restaurant/bar and is hanging onto most of its shrivelled leaves for now, it does feel like the restaurant might want to invest in a healthy replacement at some point as the old fig tree is now in a rather sad state. Overall, very happy with our meal and would definitely recommend it to others.

First time visit and can't wait to return. Food was so delicious. Portion sizes were very good to almost too much. Very filling but so tasty. Very fresh tasting and drinks were excellent as well. Atmosphere was very clean, friendly and welcoming. I totally recommend this place for a brunch or coffee and cake or ice cream. It wasn't cheap but average for prices these days and the quality of everything was excellent.

Lovely coffee Friendly staff Can recommend the lemon and coconut slice

We visited this lovely homely restaurant in Aboyne, Royal Deeside. We had a very nice time with our group. The food served was delicious and the chocolate roulette was one of the best desserts I have tried in Scotland. Highly recommended.

We stayed here on our way through the region. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. And has lots of parking. Absolutely recommend. There is also a neat castle you can walk to not far away (Dunnideer) and some standing stones.

I walked past the cafe with my son in the buggy at 14:38 (states they close at 15:00 online) and asked the blonde female employee outside if I could order a sandwich for takeaway. Was told, in a defensive way that they had ‘already put everything away’. I understand it can be frustrating when people want served at the last minute (I used to work in retail), however this wasn’t a minute before close time - the cafe should possibly change their advertised hours if they can’t serve customers beyond 14:30. It’s a shame as it’s put me off visiting again, and I like to support local businesses as much as possible, especially in Ellon as I live nearby.

Visited a few times now after the cafe reopened with new staff members. Great location, excellent staff and coffee and scones amazing.

The pleasing and restful atmosphere of the Waterstones bookshop cafe (Bon Accord) was enhanced by a delightful young lady named Emma. Courtious, engaging, communicative, thoughtful and with a lovely sense of humour, made my day. I was feeling rather under the weather due to a tiresome head cold and my hearing was muted - I explained this to Emma - she offered sympathy, asked me to sit down and she would deliver my order to my table - this see did promptly complete with a joke about the enormous receipt for a small purchase. Many, many of the young folks who work in shops in Aberdeen city centre could learn a great deal from this young woman! 10 out of 10 Emma.

Hmmm I ordered a frappe and got something more like a warm milk shake. Expensive for what I got 👎

Second visit in a matter of a few weeks. Food was still on the cold / luke warm side. Feedback from friends, was it was nice, but the menu is limited and not to everyone’s taste. The bar seemed busier for bar meals than the new restaurant was, which may signify that diners still want the old fashioned staples, as well as a choice of new dishes. If the restaurant menu stays the same for months on end, then it may be our last visit in a while. It will be interesting to see if it is regularly changed due to seasonality? Service was efficient but lacked the warmth we received on our first visit of the reopening of Coterie. Consistency is key when it comes to customer service and not sure if that has been achieved yet, time will tell. A pleasant enough evening and as a local goes its not too bad, still always room for improvements like making sure that food is hot when it comes out of the kitchen.

Really just disappointed, wouldn't recommend anyone go until they improve the food. The concept is good, the staff were nice enough, but the food was poor. All the ingredients are cheap and cheerful, right down to the tomato sauce and butter portions. I wouldn't mind so much if it was more of a quantity over quality deal, but you get neither and I really don't think that's reflected in the price... Don't call reviews spam it looks petty, take it on the chin or don't reply
