The County Bistro Banff - Aberdeenshire

This was hands down the best Beef Stew I have ever had. The decor may be a bit old-fashioned, but the food was fantastic. We enjoyed our post-dinner coffee in the lounge, which had a Scottish country house vibe.

I was happy to receive a warm welcome at this restaurant. The food was fantastic, the staff were all delightful, and the dining room was big and bright. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the Banff area.

We called a few days ahead to reserve a table for a party of 18 guests (9 adults and 9 teenagers) at the restaurant. We were able to arrange a custom menu with the manager Eric, who was very accommodating. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and enjoyed delicious pub-style main courses and desserts. We had a great experience with Eric and the rest of the staff, who were all very friendly. We look forward to returning for the French bistro menu. It was a pleasant surprise to find such a gem of a restaurant.

Sayed here for two nights. Superb excellent gourmet food. Dined here both nights with fantastic seafood specials, nice French wine selection, a great host and the best breakfast we have ever had, due to quality of ingredients. Highlight of our trip to Banff.

If you eat nowhere else in Banff, try here. We were already staying at another hotel when we saw reviews for here. We ate on a Monday night when it was out of season and very quiet. We were still made very welcome and the food and service were wonderful. The food was certainly haute cuisine. Would definitely recommend!
