Talk of the Town: Is the newly refurbished Kildrummy Inn Aberdeenshire’s most stylish dining spot?

Talk of the Town is Society’s round-up of some of the best north-east food and drink deals, specials and hotspots on offer every week.

Alford’s Kildrummy Inn has long been a popular spot with Aberdeenshire foodies.

But with its elegant new look, its fanbase is set to grow even further.

Kildrummy Inn

The newly refurbished Kildrummy Inn might just be one of the most stylish country dining spots in Aberdeenshire.

Based in Alford, the inn opened for its soft launch yesterday and inside, it looks stunning.

Local beers on tap and a fine array of food are its top attractions. There’s been huge response to its new look on social media. You best get down quickly to see it for yourself.

Smoke and Soul

BBQ comfort food in the north-east doesn’t come much better than Smoke and Soul.

With its kitchen housed in Six Degrees North on Littlejohn Street, indulgent pulled pork, brisket and many more meaty options are just too good to resist.

Its signature burger is a classic for a reason, but do venture out into other options like poutine, mac and cheese or dirty fries.

Mac’s Pizzeria

Pizza this weekend? Mac’s Pizzeria on Aberdeen’s Union Street is a great option for traditional Neapolitan-style delights.

You’re likely to find a great atmosphere in here with live sports often on display and a spacious feel inside.

Keep an eye out for creative weekly specials and grab a photo of the super cool Vespa inside – you won’t miss it!

Dusk

Langstane Place in Aberdeen is home to several great cocktail spots. Dusk is one of them.

A quick scroll down the venue’s Instagram page will undoubtedly have you drooling. Favourite concoctions like cosmos and pornstar martinis are easy to find at this low-lit spot.

But the venue’s staff have flair for making up eye-catching drinks of their own. Do try them out.

Courtyard Cafe

If you’re in the mood for coffee by a castle this weekend, then Courtyard Cafe based at Crathes Castle is a delightful spot to do so.

Cakes, bakes and a cuppa combine perfectly as you soak in lovely views.

But if you’re feeling more peckish, there are a great range of sandwiches, paninis and other hot food options to savour to your belly’s content.
