Went with friends for an evening meal, very disappointed with the food. Service was nice and attentive but the food was overpriced and poor. Starter of Langoustines , lacked taste and didn't go well with mashed potatoes, priced at £15.00. Braised beef £22 had obviously sat too long under a hot lamp , meat was dry as was the Turkey (lacking any cranberry sauce). All main dishes had same mash potatoes and diced veg , including the worst dish , a Vegetarian dish of Butthernut squash tart , which was diced up butternut , in light butter put in a tart case. Dessert for two were nice , the cheese board arrived, four slices of cheese cut by the waitress at the table put onto a plate with few grapes...
Well have been to Buchan Braes many times in the past and swore I wouldn’t go back due to substandard expensive food that they serve but we were given a voucher by a relative as a present so didn’t want to waste it and having been over a year since last visit it will surely have improved......how wrong were we!! Service was ok but again not 4star as it claims and the food is nothing short of laughable for a hotel that claims to be 4 star! I ordered chicken supreme with haggis and Drambuie sauce and what came was a car crash! Tough chewy over cooked chicken dropped on top of a haggis slice with 2 Brussel sprouts and some dry dauphinois potatoes drizzled in GRAVY!!! The wife had Pork escalope...
We met in the Buchan braes hotel for our first date 12 years ago and have been many times for meals, weddings and other events. Tonight we went back for our first meal in the hotel as our anniversary and we were thrilled with the welcome we received, the amazing friendly hospitality and the delicious food we ate. What a treat. So glad they are serving this standard of food again after the break due to covid. We will be back. Chef your lemon posset is the best desert I have ever eaten
Buchan Braes has reopened its doors. Currently only serving residents, but the meal was fabulous. There was an excellent variety of choices that were wonderfully cooked and presented. The staff were extremely attentive and even the chef came over to apologize for the wait we experienced for our dessert. It was no problem though, as we had watched in awe as he prepared main courses for a party of twenty. It was wonderful to watch and great to have the restaurant back in action.

Excellent greeting upon our arrival. Service worthy of a Michelin restaurant. With white gloved, formally dressed servers and a warm yet special atmosphere. The communication from start to finish was exquisite and the food served with lovely presentation, temperature and flavor. I would not hesitate to return. Special occasion or any occasion. Magnifique.
Stayed for a couple of days for work recently. Double standard room was very comfortably furnished. The team in the hotel were all friendly and attentive throughout my stay. The food could be the best feature of this hotel though. Lovely breakfast and had a delicious evening meal in the restaurant. Overall a really great stay.
The rooms here are fine, but the food is really really good. The service is what you would expect from a hotel of this caliber. It's our third visit here on business and we will be back. The staff are polite and very efficient. Just the sort of hotel for a holiday or business trip. It beats all the other hotels in the area.
I visited this restaurant for a meal while staying at the lighthouse cottage. I had steak with chips and peppercorn sauce, which was exceptional. The bramble sorbet was also delicious. The highlight of the meal was the banoffee cocktail I had for dessert. I will definitely be returning next year.

Lovely food served by lovely staff. Great meal and very tasty food, well presented. Even put candles in the desserts for the birthday boys. Thank you Buchan Braes.
Amazing dining experience with a fantastic open kitchen where you can see the chef working hard and creating delicious dishes.
