Food was as good as the last time we visited! The staff are friendly too! There are screens to watch sports on if you're into that,Chose not to have a dessert as we were full.

Recently visited the Balmoral and had dinner. There were 4 of us. We all had something different and we all agreed the food and service was terrific. Top marks to all the staff

The restaurant has a friendly and laid-back atmosphere. The Cullen Skink is a must-try dish. I tried Stovies for the first time and found them delicious. The chef walks around to ensure everything tastes good. The staff is friendly and welcoming, they even gave my dogs a drink and some treats. Speisekarte ansehen

Place was busy with a mix of locals and tourists. We got the last table. Very on the ball service from the barstaff. She recommended the home made steak pie and it was delicious. Huge portions, the veggies were a bit over cooked for my taste but that’s personal, others may prefer them like that. We shared haggis Bon Bon’s and when the chef saw we were sharing and there were three he went and cooked another. Great place.

This restaurant was exactly what we needed during our weekend getaway with our 3-month old. The food was fantastic, with a wide range of traditional pub dishes to choose from. The service was outstanding, and they also had a great selection of draft beers and other drinks. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up going two nights in a row. Despite it being out of season, the restaurant was still bustling with activity. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Pub with Amazing food. We visit this gem of a pub as often as we can. The atmosphere is great with lovely welcoming and friendly staff. A gold medal has to go to the Chef. The food is always first class. Our favourites are the curries made fresh and so tasty. If curry isn’t your thing there’s a great specials board. It’s a real gem of a place. If you’re lucky enough to be there at a weekend, keep an eye out for some amazing bands too. Speisekarte ansehen

What a gem of a pub/restaurant in Ballater. Good selection of beers and spirits. Staff were so friendly and helpful but the icing on the cake was the wonderful food. Freshly cooked and piping hot, what is not to like. A special shout out to the chef who cooked a Lamb Naga Masala Curry which had a bit of a kick but was so tasty, it put Indian Curry houses to shame. Would highly recommend and if you live in Ballater, you are lucky to have such a nice place on your doorstep.

We went to the Balmoral in Ballater for a late lunch and were delighted by the experience. The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly. The chef greeted us warmly and went out of their way to accommodate a small change to our meal, which was then served directly to our table. The portion sizes were generous and the quality of the home cooked food was outstanding. Everything was so tasty and beautifully presented. This was a hidden gem on a rainy day in the Scottish autumn weather.

"Sunday, 3rd September 2023 – 19:00 Meal: Wine Starters – Main – Coffee My friend and I arrived at 19:00 to a busy but not overfull restaurant without a reservation and they accommodated us upstairs. Menus were produced and we ordered a bottle of white wine and a jug of water. 0rders placed for starters and 2 servings of the Italian style fish stew on the ‘Specials Board’ at 26.99 each. Tomato and chilli with promises of loads of different fish. The toss up was between a steak or the stew (which neither of us would cook at home). The table was dirty and needed wiping – this request was placed 3x on the young waitron who eventually produced a cloth slopping water from a bucket in the corner cupped in her hands where she half heartedly wiped the table with water dripping onto my friend’s lap. Hurried mop up with tissues out of my bag. The white wine was plonked on the table – next to the cooler – unopened and no glasses. Several attempts were made to attract the waitron’s attention. Eventually another bottle was produced opened and we were advised the waitron was under age and not allowed to pour wine. Perfectly acceptable had she produced an opener and the glasses with an explanation I would have been happy to help myself – we understand and appreciate these things. The starters arrived and were delicious! The chef then came out to see us and explained that there was no lobster for the stew – we asked for extra monkfish, he then said there was no monkfish left – but could help us with other white fish and crab claws. He said he was down to the last 2 portions, and he would ensure they were hearty. We were a bit concerned and suggested perhaps we settle for the steak which is always delicious. He assured us we had made the right choice and would enjoy the stew. The stews arrived and were ‘hearty’ if being crammed with the contents of a tin of crab claws is your definition of hearty. The promised ‘rich tomato broth with chilli and garlic’ was a watered down version of what was clearly less than a cup of the original broth left at the bottom of the pot topped with water. It was tasteless – lacking in hint of either chilli, wine, garlic or herbs – having lived in Malta I can assure you I have a deep understanding of Med cooking. I guess we were lucky we didn’t have the salty brine of the crab claws as the broth. It was inedible and we were starving so we kept adding salt and pepper – we were beyond the point of returning the food which was a mistake in hindsight. We skipped dessert – had coffees and left. The meal came to nearly £100.00. This was an expensive lousy experience. We paid a generous tip – because they accommodated us without a reservation. Take aways from the experience: • The restaurant service on a Sunday evening at 19:00 should be as good as it is on a Friday at 19:00 • Being a local and having eaten there several times – it is my first choice for a ‘good’ meal – don’t abuse the luxury of local support. • Train your waitrons to clean tables, by wringing out the cloth and not dripping water on your patrons. • Waitrons (even under aged ones) should at least carry a wine opener, and understand that wine glasses should be produced when delivering wine. • Your chef should know better and never, ever assume he can cut costs by selling the dregs from his kitchen. • A poor dining experience costs you more than you think. We would have ordered dessert, and more importantly returned for a second meal in the next week – WE DIDN’T! I have a friend coming from Ireland in November – do I risk taking her to the Anchor?"
