  • 1. Café 52

    $$

    This artsy café-restaurant has an innovative menu, an atmospheric dining room with open kitchen, and covered outdoor seating. The menu features veggie options such as mushroom falafel, grilled halloumi with crushed walnuts, and barley fricassee, as well as lots of imaginative Middle Eastern-fusion meat and seafood choices. No matter what you order, local produce makes it tasty and fresh. The handsome restaurant is in a silvery granite building with exposed-stone walls, huge windows, and shiny black tables.

  • 2. Copper Dog

    $$

    With its reclaimed woodwork and mismatched wooden chairs, rows of malt whisky bottles, decorative oak barrel-ends, and walls hung with prints, the Craigellachie Hotel's bar-restaurant is an edgy blend of cozy and shabby chic. The menu is equally relaxed, with dishes such as locally produced gourmet sausages, rumbledethumps (a casserole of baked potato, cabbage, and onions), and an outstanding platter of Scottish cheeses with housemade chutney, all of which can be matched with regional craft beers.

    Victoria St., Craigellachie, Moray, AB38 9SR, Scotland
    01340-881204

    Known For

    • Whole grilled lobster
    • Speyside rib eye steak
    • Local craft beers
  • 3. Gordon Castle Walled Garden Cafe

    $$

    With light streaming through the large windows onto the wooden tables and rattan chairs, there is an airiness and freshness to this eatery. Fish landed just a few miles away on the Moray coast is a good bet, as are the long-aged steaks. Either way, be sure to finish with a seasonal fruit panna cotta: there's elderflower in June and raspberry and strawberry in July and August, all from the estate's walled gardens, which you can visit.

    Fochabers, Moray, IV32 7PQ, Scotland
    01343-612317

    Known For

    • Traditional Cullen skink
    • Fresh summer fruit desserts
    • Pulled pork burgers
  • 4. Moonfish

    $$

    This elegant yet relaxed seafood restaurant can be found along a medieval lane next to St. Nicholas Kirk. Mains may include freshly caught sea trout, halibut, or hake served with imaginative accompaniments such as celeriac with seaweed. The sophisticated atmosphere of the dining room is enhanced with striking landscape photography and somber lighting. A gin bar serves craft distillations and cocktails.

    9 Correction Wynd, Aberdeen, Aberdeen City, AB10 1HP, Scotland
    01224-644166

    Known For

  • 5. The Ship Inn

    $$

    This former coaching inn is exactly where you want to take nourishment after a bracing walk from Dunnottar Castle. Refurbishment has taken away much of the history, but wood paneling and rattan chairs make it comfortable, and huge new windows provide views of the harbor. The mixed grill is worth the splurge.

    5 Shorehead, Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, AB39 2JY, Scotland
    01569-762617

    Known For

    • Traditional Cullen skink
    • Sweeping views of Stonehaven Bay
