    Onion soup
    J D.

    We started with their Crispy Squid and Onion Soup. The squid was delicious and the onion soup very tasty. For mains we had their Lamb chops, Veal chops, and a steak. Each was served with triple cooked chips (French fries), rocket salad with parmesan and either peppercorn sauce or red wine jus. Each of the meats was cooked perfectly and were most tasty. The triple cooked chips were excellent and the peppercorn sauce heavenly. For dessert we chose Sticky Toffee pudding, whiskey iced parfait and a Scottish cheese board. The Sticky pudding was the best we have had and the parfait light and very nicely done as was the cheese board. Service was excellent and the restaurant clearly a very popular destination.

    Made our way to a Clachan Grill on a trip driving through Ballater. Cozy restaurant with wonderful food and decent prices. I started with a great Haddock appetizer. Main course was the Lamb Steak. My wife had the cod. Desert was Sticky Butter Pudding. Priced per meal based on 2 or 3 courses, both under 40 pounds. Add a bit more if you get a filet. A+ service, food and prices.

    Sirloin steak with rocket, chips, and red wine jus.  Outstanding!

    Tucked away steps from the Ballater Hostel, you'll find a gem of a restaurant. If you're looking for a cozy sit down restaurant that's open past 8pm, then look no further. We feasted on a three-course meal that included a starter, salad, steak, fries, and dessert. Every part of the meal was fresh and delicious, but my favorite was the soup of the day. The servers gave great advice and were attentive as well. It was more than just pub fare, and the price reflects that. Nevertheless, we would gladly return anytime.

    Table setting

    We were wowed by not only the food but the service and the ambiance. It was peaceful and delicious. A classy restaurant that is t too overbearing. The dishes were supreme. We were a party of 5 that sampled many dishes and were not disappointed with any.

    Filet Clachan style.

Decor was modern and classy in the brasserie, while upscale and relaxed in the lounge. Both areas uses the same kitchen but have slightly different menus. We dined in both areas a few times during our stay. Brasserie is perfect for a special night. Servers were used interchangeably between both restaurants and were profesional and accommodating. Everything was made with care and with local ingredients. So the flavors were outstanding. Must order dishes are: Fish and chips ($18) - huge flakey piece of haddock perfectly fried to perfection with a light exterior crunch. We had a lot (10+ spots) of fish and chips around Scotland. And without a doubt this was the best. Usually fried items make me feel a bit heavy, but this was not the case here. Served with homemade tartar sauce, chippys and peas. Solid side dishes, but the star was the fish. The fish and chips is worth a trip of its own. Seared sea bass ($20) - a decent sized fillet with couscous and broccolini. The restaurant knows how to cook fish. And it really shows in this dish. Accompaniments were solid too. Especially the couscous. Carrot cake ($3.50) - moist, fluffy, carroty, with lots of walnuts scattered throughout, and a huge pile of cream cheese frosting. Not too sweet lol most English desserts. Gingerbread pudding ($8) - warm yet moist cake with strong gingery undertones. Every component was well executed and works so well together. The warm cake with the house made vanilla ice cream all topped with their rum toffee sauce. I'm dreaming about the day I come back for this. if u could get anything here, this dish would be the one to get!

You can…read moreget whisky and good recommendations at almost all of the venues and bars in town, but The Malt Room is supremely whisky-focused...no entertainment or food...just whisky with bartenders who are experts in what they serve. We had a Kilchoman dram which we liked, but we especially liked the ability to have a conversation with the server about what we might want and the no-pressure offer to smell the corks and make a good choice. There is quite a lot to choose from, and they offer flights as well. It's an intimate space...a few comfortable chairs, and you can stand at the bar as well. It may be a destination for whisky tourists, but plenty of locals seemed to be there as well. The address is on Church Street, but the entrance itself is off a small passageway off Church Street on the way to the food court entrance of the Victorian Market indoor mall...but there is a sign on Church Street pointing the way. If Whisky is your thing, and you don't want the liveliness and noise that comes with the nearby music bars, The Malt Room is the place to go!
