The Garden Raemoir Cafe - Aberdeenshire

Visited the restaurant at Raemoir garden centre with friends for a light lunch however, it was difficult to find anything plain on the menu. The Lite Bites menu seemed to contain so many ingredients so if you didn 't like one you were stuck. Sandwiches and baked potatoes all seemed to contain mayonnaise, coleslaw, onion or pickle etc, and if you cannot have cheese you are limited. Even the chicken salad contained bacon, caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese topped with croutons. All salads are served with red onion or avocado with a dressing on the side. Difficult if you don 't like any of these ingredients. If you want a heavier lunch such as fish and chips then this is the place to go. My friends had a full meal which they enjoyed and judging by the queue to get in, this is a popular place. The servers were polite and pleasant.

Excellent lunch at this restaurant. So nice to see how they’ve extended the restaurant into the garden shop area creating the outdoors indoors feeling. The food was so fresh and the staff were very attentive.

Lovely restaurant attached to a very eclectic garden centre.There are 2 areas for eating ,a cafe style and a restaurant.We ate in the latter and had the light bite prawn cocktails with pot of tea and ginger beer.The service and food were impeccable and we thoroughly enjoyed it.Highly recommended

Had 2 cappuccino's and both were more milk than coffee. Couldn't actually taste the coffee and it was almost boiling making it very difficult to drink. Victoria sponge and rock cake were OK, although I would have preferred fresh cream to buttercream . Was very expensive for what we got.

We went for afternoon tea what delightfull time we had. We had a table outside. The wather was sunny. We had time to choose which fillings we wished in our sandwiches. Which was fresh made. As a group of 3 we shared our sandwiches their was Sausage roll as well . We had a scone with cream raspberry jam. We also had the choice of caramel slices, chocolate kraknel, victoria sponge, baby meringue strawberry tarts. 3 of each so we didnt have to fight over the choices. Plenty of coffee to wash it all down as well. We could not fault it at all. This has got to be one of our better choice of places to have afternoon tea. Im sure we will be back.
