Was oot at Teacake in Chapelton (across fae Newtonhill) a few weeks back. Only half a mile from our hoose so it was rare to get to walk somewhere for a meal for once. It's a wee coffee/sandwich/cake type place but a chef's taken it over in the last few months and he's started opening Saturday nights just working the kitchen on his own. Menu changes every few weeks and he posts it on their Facebook page.
Set £35 for 3 courses (plus you get the usual amuse bouche and wee tasters) and BYOB. Honestly one of the nicest meals I've had. Scallops with a saffron crayfish pie to start might just be the single best thing I've ever eaten. Dinna want to sound like a total bellênd, but we've been lucky to eat in some amazing places all over the world and I'm nae exaggerating how good this was.
I've raved about the Tollbooth in Stonehaven before (and still would - it's ace) but this was every bit as good at a fraction of the price. Cannot believe how cheap it was for the quality of food the guy was knocking out - he should honestly have a waiting list to get a table.
