The Old Pier Coffee House

➤ Shorehead, Stonehaven, AB39 2, United Kingdom, AB39 2JY, Aberdeenshire

Carta • Cafe • Soup • Cakes • Coffee

"Been here several times with intention of chatting and having several coffees. Seating is upstairs and order and cash desk are downstairs as you come in. Thing is that this facility also has to deal with the take-away service of drinks, ice cream etc and a queue builds up. Irrespective of whether you are sitting in or using take-away you join the same queue which can be out on the street. This can be annoying enough for the first order but for further orders it feels totally inappropriate. The staff are very pleasant and the coffees are quite acceptable but those running the business really need to find a solution to the above issue in my opinion. I know one of my friends suggested we have a look for alternative venues next time we meet, which is a shame as otherwise a great location and ambience. On an earlier visit (ie not June) I mentioned to above issue which I described as not working for the sitting in customers to which I was given the reply Oh well it works for us . I 'm not often lost for words.! Nearly a very good little coffee shop."

The Ship Inn

Carta • Sushi • Cafés • Pizza • Asiatic

"Después de una visita al maravilloso castillo de Dunnotar, todo un clásico entre los castillos y postales de Escocia, con paseo por las inmediaciaciones del mismo incluido, nos fuimos al puerto de Stonehaven, donde siempre se puede comer bastante bien. Como tantas otras veces fuimos al Ship Inn y la verdad es que la experiencia fue increíble, una vez más: mejilones con salsa de nata, ajo y cebolla, bacalao fresco y bine cocinado (fish and chips pero bien cocinado) cullen skink (sopa parinera de patatas y pescado ahumado) y sobre todo y novedad absoluta un paate de salmíon ahumado que llamó poderosamente nuestra atenció al venir con un color rosa que más bien parecía un sorbete de frambuesa. Pero una vez lo probamos, fue increíble ... textura, presentación y un sabor intenso a salmón de primera calidad. Todo más que bueno. El lugar simple."

The Bay Fish Chips

➤ Beach Promenade, AB39 2RD, Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom

Carta • Fish • Curry • Chicken • Gluten Free

"It’s hard not eating fish and chips when you are in a place like Stonehaven. I ordered the MSC Standard Haddock with chips for £10.30. You can tell the fish was fresh from the first bite. It was extremely delicious. Sadly the tartar sauce is bot included with the chips so do not forget to order one for £1. My only complaint would be about the portion sizes. I wish there were a little more chips, but considering how cheap the prices are you can just buy another portion of chips. Definitely give it a go when you are in the area."

Carron

➤ Cameron Street, Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom

Carta • Soup • Meat • Steak • Cheese

"There are 2 entrances to Carron to Mumbai, we entered from the street side and walked into an unmanned bar, a girl did eventually appear and asked if we had a table booked we had 2 friends joining us so asked if we could wait for them in the bar which wasn't a problem but weren't offered a drink while we waited, another waiter appeared a few minutes later and aknowleged us and we asked if we could have a drink which he seemed to go to another bar for and then the drinks were brought. Apart from the initial welcome the rest of the evening was very enjoyable. The restaurant is a whole different world to the front of house and the waiters are very knowledgeable and very good at recommending dishes if you are unsure what to choose, they did seem a little understaffed and the younger staff were not so knowledgeable. Will definitely recommend and visit again"

Gino's

➤ 21a Ann Street, Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom

Carta • Wine • Pasta • Pizza • Italian

"Last night, we decided to dine at Gino's, as we enjoy supporting local businesses. Overall, we had a cozy and comfortable experience and enjoyed the wide variety of options on the menu. The front of house staff were kind and efficient, though we were not asked about our food until we were leaving. Despite this, we had no complaints about the delicious and fresh food, which was also reasonably priced. We were disappointed that the chef did not greet our table, but we still recommend this restaurant for those looking for a local spot in Stonehaven. The vegetarian options are plentiful, there is on street parking available, and the atmosphere gives off an authentic Italian vibe. The price range is £10-20 per person for dinner."
