Banchory Lodge Hotel
Banchory Lodge Hotel is one of my favourite places to visit for food and drink in Aberdeenshire as a whole.
The restaurant is welcoming and stylish while the dishes are inviting, fresh and tasty.
I would highly recommend opting for the pan fried seabass if you’re heading for an evening meal. And don’t forget to order a portion of sticky toffee pudding for dessert…

That Pancake Place
Since opening its doors last September, That Pancake Place has proved a hot spot for food and drink fans with a sweet tooth.
With a menu that features a traditional, streaky smoked bacon stack with maple syrup, a full Scottish breakfast served with a pancake, pancakes with raspberries and a white chocolate and hazelnut sauce, and much more, you’ll struggle to whittle down your choice.
