Beautiful and warm place with a roaring fire in the room. Food was super delicious! Scottish fare and good quality. Service was good but could be more welcoming when greeting people into the restaurant. Simply say hello and welcome with a smile. Have a bit of simple chat to welcome folks in especially if you're charging a service charge. People expect more.
We were wowed by not only the food but the service and the ambiance. It was peaceful and delicious. A classy restaurant that is t too overbearing. The dishes were supreme. We were a party of 5 that sampled many dishes and were not disappointed with any.
Outstanding meal! One of our best in Scotland so far! I had the lamb steak, and it was sublime! Cooked perfectly, with a delightfully mild yet extremely tasty salt and pepper rub, accompanied by a wonderful salty Parmesan salad and thrice-baked chips. The peppercorn sauce was strong but a great accompaniment - I rather enjoyed dipping my chips in it and chasing the lamb steak down! With a pint of Magnars cider to wash it down, I was in Heaven! The only thing that could improve it was the sticky toffee pudding, which was equally heavenly! A delightful meal on all accounts! We will definitely be back!
A short walk from the town center. Very cosy restaurant with extremely lovely staff. Ordered the Sunday roast which was amazing. Do give this place a try when you are in Ballater
Had a lovely meal here celebrating a family golden wedding. The staff were very good and nothing was any bother for them. Overall, it was a great place to have good quality food in a lovely atmosphere
Wonderful staff and the food was excellent my calamari was beautiful and my pork was cooked to perfection and of course you must try the sticky toffee pudding and absolute delight
Lovely tasty food, excellent staff, couldn't fault a thing for our Golden Wedding Anniversary.
Enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch at the Clachan Grill. The food was well presented and packed full of flavour. The chicken breast was wonderfully moist, accompanied with vegetables that retained just the right level of crunch.
The service was attentive but not intrusive and provided by friendly staff.
Exceptional. Probably the best beef I’ve ever had. And we polished off the sticky toffee as well. Very good service, warm and welcoming. Highly recommend eating here.

I won't lie, I had high hopes for the food here before I even sat down and they certainly delivered!
The food was amazing. The cod was perfectly cooked, and the sides perfectly seasoned. I don't eat dairy and they were very accommodating and helpful with what I could have, even making some unexpected adjustments so I could enjoy the most potatoey baby potatoes that ever potatoed.
