The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

We dropped in for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. The gentleman who served us was very friendly and keen to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. The food was delivered reasonably quickly and was fresh, hot, and tasty. I also had a friendly chat with the gent when paying the bill, and he told me how I could get in touch with Jimmy Buchan, one of my heroes. This was really appreciated as I met up with Jimmy, which was fantastic. .....thanks heaps.

Very disappointed that the cafe was closed. On the website says open Wed-Sunday from 11-3pm. Double checked with the Tourist Office in Ballater they advised us that itwas open from 12-3pm. We walked all the way from Ballater to find it was closed !!!!!We found 2 other people there also disappointed. Have been visiting for some yearsnow food was always fantastic but think will give it a miss in the future. The word in Ballater was that the opening times is not dependable.

On a very wet day we were recommended to come here and were not disappointed. Warm and friendly welcome, excellent service and delicious lunch. Akira and Carol both attended to little details without asking - ie Carol serving an extra large portion of chips when I declined other veg that were on the menu (brother in law pleased to help me out!) and Akira giving my sister a takeaway box as she couldn't manage the whole of her panini. Brillliant. I live in Devon so may not be passing through again but would wholeheartedly recommend visiting.

This place is a wee gem! A phenomenal selection of whiskies, a very tasty sharing platter, all served by friendly staff who love to share funny stories. A few locals were in who also love a blether. Lovely seating area outside too. Only open Friday to Sunday at present.

Ordered an afternoon tea for my gran’s 80th birthday. Staff are very accommodating to allergy and dietary requirements when placing the order as my grandad does not eat chicken. When I picked up the afternoon tea, staff warmly welcomed and quickly served us despite it being busy. When I unboxed and served the afternoon tea for the party, we were amazed with the amount of food we had. A variety of sandwiches such as a range of chicken options, ham and cheese, cheese and pickle, tuna and egg mayo. Each box had one sausage roll, scone with jam and butter, two choc dipped strawberries and different types of tray cakes. We were so impressed with the amount of food and the quality (the scones and choc strawberries went down a treat with the grandparents!) Will 100% use Sally’s for future afternoon teas.

Oh it was absolutely incredible seriously, the fillets are so tender and the chips are full of flavour. The staff are very helpful. Defo Scran It. Proper ding dang do. Only fault is the prices, but its still a defo scran it.

Brilliant local café. Always offers fantastic coffee and a range of fancy pieces! good for a bite to eat at breakfast and lunch and very reasonably priced.

My wife, who had been here before with a friend, suggested that we pop n for afternoon tea/coffee. I was impressed with the service here and the scones were very good. The Stitch House is not only a cafe but a community hub. They provide an outlet for the sale of local crafts which are well displayed, not only in the shop but also in the cafe section. On entering the cafe section, there is a small kiddies' play area to the left. They also provide a Youth Cafe on Friday and Saturday evenings where the youngsters of the village can meet in a safe environment. I was really ipressed with these premises and will certainly be back.

Gordon and Teresa's upgrade to this pub has been a great thing for Banff. It's enjoyed by both locals and holiday-makers, and is a great place to meet up with friends for a drink. It's great to still have a decent pub in town, run by a local couple, who are willing to go that extra mile to satisfy their customers.

What a lovely evening, great food, friendly staff and the quiz was a bonus. What a laugh the place was buzzing.

Always friendly and helpful staff, great food and coffee. The staff are always smiling and chatting. Relaxed interiors

Lovely cup of tea and somme cake from Shona xx

V much a cosy atmosphere, homemade food, clean and lovely to view local artists work.

The tagline of this restaurant is proper Seafood and they are 100% correct! For a start, the setting is wonderful. It’s right on the pier and there is free parking just behind. Views both sides are beautiful and Stonehaven provides ample space to walk off a great dinner. The staff were professional, knowledgable and friendly and enhanced the experience. The drinks were great, both mocktails and wine and the bread and butter superb. The starters were divine! For me they were the best, the sauce with my mussels was excellent. Our mains were very tasty (Hake & the Turbot) and finished off with scrumptious desserts. We will definitely be back when up this side of the world again!

Amazing cakes! A really good selection. The savoury menu is also really appetising, with a selection of sandwiches, soup, wraps, jacket potatoes, etc. Also a fabulous range of tea, coffees and soft drinks. The views across the bay are gorgeous. Next door is a lovely homeware/gift shop with a wide selection of high end gifts, clothing and home decor items. Take out is also available.
