Was given a table overlooking the harbour. Delicious meal and good kids options. I really enjoyed my fish burger.Vegetarian options: There are veggie options - I don't eat meat so I was also tempted by the halloumi burge.

Always visit the Quayside when staying in Johnshaven and once again it did not disappoint. The scampi and jumbo haddock were both cooked fresh, were lovely and hot (which was good as we enjoyed them outside sitting by the harbour) and were absolutely delicious.

Great little place over the chip shop on the harbour pier with big windows looking out over the harbour. Offers burgers, hot dogs and pizzas as well as a selection of fish. Everything was fresh and well cooked. The pizza was particularly good. They offer a range of portion sizes for the fish dishes- small, regular and jumbo. The staff were lovely. Street parking nearby. Can book a table on their website. Access by stairs round the side of the chip shop. Don't plan a romantic walk on the harbour wall afterwards- it's a working harbour and smells very fishy.

lovely spot at the harbour, fresh fish and shellfish available to eat in the restaurant or to takeaway from this place. Pizza and other dishes available. we had haddock and also battered king prawns. Oh try the onion rings!

We tried the mobile van in Laurencekirk, the fish was meant to be medium and it was the tiny, the chicken fillets tasted horrible and the batter was all soggy, the chips were hard and dry, definitely not worth paying nearly £40, we will not be using the mobile chip van again.

Great restaurant located at the harbour. Excellent choice of (fresh and or local) fish. Enjoyed it a lot. Bit noisy however, they could do with some noise cancelling panels.

Fish was like 1cm thin, including batter ? Greasy and stinked like old oil. We ate in the car, which now smells too...I do not recommend it. Definitely do take it to your car.

One of my fave fish and chips place whenever we're in this part of Scotland. Used to be our local when we lived nearby and we normally order every Friday night. Still good!

We were disappointed after this having such good reviews! The haddock wasn't that fresh, white pudding was stories. Smoked sausage was the only thing that was nice.

Great fish and chips, fresh, home made chips lovely fish and very good mushy peas. Clean & tidy, nice staff. We ate in but there was also take away. Someone on another table was eating half a lobster and it looked really good too.
Typical and traditional food. Nice place and kind people. We had smoked haddock. Yummie

Visited today 3 rd June for a Take away to enjoy with family . 3 Fish suppers 2 single fish 1 red pudding 1 portion mushy peas total cost £47.00. This was poor value for money. The fish was far from being fresh - dirty grey colour - the chips were dry and old tasting. Disappointing meal . 7 people behind the counter yet it still took over 10 minutes to provide the food. Considering today’s economic climate eating out is a treat, this was an expensive disappointment. Will not be returning even though we reside locally.

Good view of the harbour while eating. The food are good, can be huge portion so pick your size wisely. Most of the starter are tasty, except calamari made of frozen squid.

Not sure why this place scores so highly. Expensive, mediocre fish and chips were not pleasant. Not worth the drive out to try them

Gourdon is a gem of a village . Great walks and stunning seaside location. I recommend the walk from Inverbervie to gourdon ,a drink in the newly refurbished pub and book a window seat in the fish bar which sells a lot more besides..The meal was superb from a varied menu and service was impeccable. Euan looked after us in aprofessional manner and the place was crowded with happy punters Our friend loved it and will recommend it to her mates . We strongly recommend it to you!!!!
