The Drawing Room

Mar Rd, Braemar, Ballater

After a misty walk along the Dee, Mom and I settled into the Drawing Room’s scarlet-paneled salon, where a fireplace crackled beneath a discreet Picasso. Our afternoon began with the hotel’s one-hour art tour, stories of Jacobite relics and contemporary pieces that primed the palate, before we were ushered to starched linens for the famed tea service. 

The spread felt like Highlands couture: peat-smoked salmon on rye, dainty coronation-chicken bites, and still-warm scones that let clotted cream do the talking. Attentive yet unhurried service kept dishes rotating without the hovering you sometimes get at five-star teas. 

Details matter here: vegan and gluten-free towers appear on request, dogs are welcomed in the lobby set-up, and reservations do fill fast. Price hovers around £55, which feels fair once you factor the décor, live strings, and the ease of wandering straight upstairs afterward instead of wrangling a taxi. When the rain hits Braemar and you need refinement without fuss, pull up a tartan armchair and let the Drawing Room do the rest, y’all.

Lovely experience. Service is top notch and the bar tender even managed to find my sceptical wife a few drams she liked. Have never experiences anything like it before, definitely worth a stop.

The Old Fire Station Tea Room

37 Main St, Tomintoul, Ballindalloch

This is an interesting café to stop in. The walls are lined with fire fighting equipment and PPE from through the ages. It is very clean and tidy and the staff were very friendly. The coffee was good and the food was very good. I highly recommend.

The Flying Stag

Mar Rd, Braemar, Ballater

We attempted to get a table here at 15:10 on Saturday 30th August. Unfortunately they do not serve food between 3pm and 5pm. However despite that I did not eat here,the atmosphere is lovely and they are recognised in the Michelin guide. Every option except for three options can be made gluten free. It is lovely that they are accredited in the Michelin guide and offer so many gluten free options. If you are in the area and looking for gluten free restaurants this is the place to go.
