"A place is as good as the people working in it. Here is a place in which you feel like in your own living room and your aunt wanted to cook something special for you. The buttered fish is a must!"

"Best café in Stonehaven. Great basic menu and Christmas menu at the moment. 2 courses £15.00, 3 courses £19.00 for Seniors. Staff so lovely and hard working. Food always comes piping hot. Clean and plenty of room for prams or wheelchair access: straight in off Alderdice St. Access too from coastal path and in summer outdoor tables. The chocolate cake today was exceptionally good!"

"Delicious soups, nice small dishes. Friendly staff, great location, next to parking lots and close to sea front. Simple but worth while"

"We had just moved to Stonehaven and soon discovered this old style diner. A picture of Benedict Cumberbatch caught our eye as we went in. Just one of the many celebrities who have also discovered this seafront gem. We were seated quickly by the friendly staff and we soon had the full English breakfast I’d been craving while in the US. We went back a few more times during our few weeks visit and the experience was equally great. I particularly appreciated the pouring cream I’d asked for my coffee. The only minor nit is having to request marmalade for my toast. We love this place and can’t wait to get back."
