Kildrummy Inn
Huntly, Strathbogie and Howe of Alford, Aberdeenshire
07/11/2023: Excellent dining experience, beautiful surroundings, high calibre staff all made for a memorable evening
29/10/2023: We had lunch here with our good friends, up from England. They’d booked it as despite living in Aberdeen, we hadn’t realised what a gem this place is. Fabulous decor, really lovely service and delicious food, catering to all tastes.
They also have 4 bedrooms, a lovely small lounge, a whisky bar and a small private dining room, all exquisitely decorated.
We loved it and will definitely go back!
Well done guys!!

Blether
Lower Deeside, Aberdeen City
14/03/2024: I’m in Aberdeen twice a year, have travelled ALOT but can honestly say I have NEVER tasted scones like Blethers
The staff are brilliant also 🥰
12/03/2024: I regularly meet my daughter at Blether for coffee and a catch up. The coffee & homemade scones are lovely.
We booked a table on Christmas Eve and even though it was very busy, the staff were very welcoming & we were served promptly. My husband and I each had the Bacon & Egg breakfast roll which was pipping hot & my egg was cooked perfectly.
Can’t fault the food or the service. Best to book ahead as they are usually very busy.

The Arch Cafe
Mearns, Aberdeenshire
08/12/2020: We visited on Saturday the 5th December with our 3 year old who was treated absolutely lovely! The food was amazing, the staff were more than helpful and when we were leaving our son was given a little cup of marshmallows for being good which made his day! We will definitely return, :)
04/12/2020: Incredible food here, never disappointed and always left very full. Great variety Cakes for all, also without a doubt the best peppercorn sauce I have come across. Always buy when cooking a steak! Couldn’t recommend more, staff are all friendly and very pleasant.

Riverside Cottage
Aboyne, Upper Deeside and Donside, Aberdeenshire
05/02/2020: 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.
25/09/2019: Visited for lunch and was made very welcome. There was a good lunch menu, we had jacket potatoes served with a great salad. Dog friendly and could not resist the ice cream.

Ride Coffee House
Banchory and Mid Deeside, Aberdeenshire
20/03/2022: Really great menu, very good bakery selection and lovely space. Cool outdoors shop too. We were served by the guy with the beard (sorry we didn't get his name) and his service was absolutely outstanding. Nothing was too much and he runs a tight ship!! Highly recommend to anyone in the area (or as a destination!)
21/02/2022: Fantastic breakfast rolls and coffee on a cold sunday morning on a drive up to Braemar, service was excellent and great selection on the menu, best sunday breakfast we have had in a long time. we will definitely return and thoroughly recomment.

Croft and Cairns
Hilton / Stockethill, Aberdeen City
23/08/2022: Went for breakfast I asked for poached egg got a black fried egg not fit to eat ,also another person got eggs that were not cooked ,we asked for toast got hot bread ,coffee was also cold .was told the chef had a hangover unacceptable.won’t be back anytime soon.
17/07/2022: This was our first visit here when we went for breakfast with our grandson. Limited menu but perfectly adequate for breakfast. My wife and I opted for the Croft breakfast of one each of bacon, sausage, tattie scone, hash brown, and black pudding. I had a fried egg and my wife had a soft poached egg. Beans in a separate ramekin, and toast completed the plate full, all for a fiver. Our grandson went for the Cairn which at £8 was double the size of ours. Excellent friendly service in a clean and tidy dining room. The premises also has a bar with a pool table and sports programmes showing on wall mounted TVs.
We'll definitely be back!

Portsoy Coffee Shop
Banff and District, Aberdeenshire
01/01/2021: We ordered a chocolate fondue box for Hogmanay - it was amazing. It had everything!! So good.
Great value. Well done Portsoy coffee shop.
19/09/2020: Ordered 4 take away meals from Portsoy coffee shop. The food was of a very high standard and tasted delicious. Portion size was very good. We phoned in our order in the morning and collected our order at the arranged time. The member of staff was very friendly. The only downside was we were not given a bag to carry the food which made it awkward to carry home.
