Farquharson's Bar And Kitchen

This was a great experience! My dad and I were on a small road trip and walked into one of the first inviting-looking places we could find - despite being fully booked, we were offered a table at the bar or on the low couches 9we chose the latter) and they were very comfortable - all staff are really friendly and the atmosphere was great, with lots of art to look at. Really nice food too, with generous portions and fairly priced.

We were booked to dine at the Flying Stag across the road but the staff there were so rude we left and walked opposite to Farquharson’s Bar and Kitchen. Kat and the rest of the team were amazing. They warmly welcomed us even though we arrived right on 8.30pm. They gave us exceptional service, delicious food and couldn’t have been friendlier. Kat came and chatted to us after dinner and gave us lots of local tips. We couldn’t have had a better night. We need to thank the Flying Stag pub across street because their haughty, exasperated attitude and filthy dining room made us move onto a better place just across the street which made our stay in Braemar much better.

Pre-booked a table for six of us after a day on the hill. Service was just first class from the time we arrived until we left. The place was very busy but we were well looked after and our order quickly taken. Food arrived in good time and enjoyed by all our party. All in all a great experience and we will definitely be back. We'll done team Farquharson.

From the outside the hotel looks very drab, but you walk inside and the whole place sparkles, customers all appear to love the establishment and what's not to love, the beer is good, a wide range of spirits, the food is excellent and the staff are exceptionally helpful always smiling and cheerfull. Don’t be put of by the exterior appearance this bar is brilliant and I'm sure you'll love it.
