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

What a fabulous restaurant! We arrived 10 minutes before our booked time and were warmly welcomed and shown straight to our table. All staff were very helpful and extremely attentive which gave us an indication of what we might expect with the food and we were not disappointed! They do a fixed price lunch menu but we were able to mix and match so chose mussels from the a la carte menu followed by steamed lemon sole from the lunch menu and both were so tasty and the sauces very flavourful! We also had the very moreish Crab pancakes as a pre starter and wonderful sour dough bread which is baked daily in the restaurant! We had no room for desserts but they too looked great! We live a 3 hour drive away from Ballater but my goodness it was so worth the journey and we will certainly be back!

Fabulous service. Menu was fantastic especially the haggis & venison balls and the stovies😋 guests thoroughly enjoyed all of the food and all dietary requirements were met. Highly recommend

This is a fabulous hotel with great service and fantastic views. We had the room at the top of the house and the view was stunning. Dinner was exceptional and delicious. The whole house has been renovated to a very high standard. We would thoroughly recommend it if you are looking for somewhere to stay in the area.

Amazing experience. Staff were very attentive, professional and friendly, I can’t compliment them enough. Food and drinks were fantastic, we went for the Thursday night supper club, where you get a set menu. All the courses were delicious, I especially enjoyed the main course, escalope of chicken with a Parmesan risotto. Everything cooked perfectly and we even got a photo with the kilted chef himself. It’s a shame the place is closing at the end of September however, we were so pleased we went and will have a fantastic memory to reflect on. I wouldn’t hesitate if you are thinking of booking. Do it before it’s too late.

Pleasant ambiance with helpful staff. I thought it was a bit expensive for what was offered. The food was, however, good.

Very good indeed! We went twice during our recent stay in Ballater. Excellent food (hence the second visit), nice, friendly service, really nice restaurant inside. No hesitation in recommending and we'll be back when next in Ballater.

We booked this hotel as attending nearby crematorium. Hotel is lovely and we enjoyed our stay

Got vouchers for a wedding gift and very surprised we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner bed and breakfast the staff are very friendly and helpful Very quaint place will definitely be back

By far and away the very best Beef Stew I have ever tasted. The decor might be a bit dated, but the food was excellent. The after-dinner coffee was drunk in the lounge, which was decorated in the style of a Scottish country house.

We haven’t been to the Palace for a meal for nearly a year and decided to go this evening. We had the front room to ourselves. The lady that served us was really nice and helpful. Food was lovely. All of us thoroughly enjoyed it and was worth every penny. Fully COVID compliant!

Went to the St Olaf Golf Hotel for an early evening meal. First time we have had a meal there since the new owners took charge. Would just like to say how much we enjoyed the food, compliments to the chef and his team. The front of house are also to be complemented on their friendly service. Will definitely recommend a visit to the St Olaf.

Gemma could not have done more for us. Food came out quickly and was good. Excellent service. Good location just south of Aberdeen

While still fresh in my mind I'd like to sum up how special our family's wedding celebration experience at Buchanan's Bistro was. Everything and I mean everything was exceptional from the beautiful flowers to the welcoming ambiance, to the delicious food, and finally to the truly exceptional service with an extraordinary "I can do" ethos. It was an amazing occasion for all of us and we are deeply appreciative for your part in our day.

My wife and I had a meal at 1911 tonight. Food was excellent, supreme of chicken and beef medallions layered with haggis. Shame there wasn't more people dining to create a better ambience. So come along and enjoy some good food.

You got the chance to look round the shop without the intensity of the owners talking you through everything. No one wants to be pressured into buying things, and people will buy if they are allowed to do so at their own leisure. Stocks some lovely food and hope the shop does well, just a little less intense experience would be much better!
