The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Aboyne, Upper Deeside and Donside 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!

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.

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.
