Great place. Food tastes and homemade unlike other joints with bought in rubbish. Great coffee. Good service and a nice bolted on farm shop with cheeses, wines, beer etc. The overall site is great too.

Finally visited, having passed the sign on numerous occasions and observed that we really should stop one day, and it did not disappoint.Just a short distance off the A90, so quite convenient, the drive down is a little rough, but not problematic.The building is lovely and it is really welcoming as were the staff. We sat at the really large table in the main body of the building with other customers and really liked it, there was a really nice comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. There were two other seating areas downstairs and some more seating upstairs, which we didn't see.The menu had a good choice with something to suit most people. The food was well presented, fresh, hot and delicious and we were all very happy and enjoyed our lunch. It is a little bit pricey, but I don't feel it was bad value.Look forward to visiting again.

Had a good lunch, smart place. It is not well signposted if travelling south and we almost missed the turn off. It is a few minutes down a narrow road off the main road going south.This place seems new, has a shop, outside seating, only a few inside tables.Parking: Free car park.

What a great find! We were on the way back from Aberdeen when we passed a sign for a farm shop and cafe. After traveling down a long farm road, we were pleasantly surprised to find a *beautiful* shop and cafe.The staff were so friendly and attentive, and the food: outstanding! A great selection that's difficult to choose from as everything sounds so good and honestly tastes even better than it sounds ? Our food was so good, we went to the shop to buy some pies, sausage rolls and banana bread for home!Can't wait to be passing again as this is a "must stop here" kind of place!

Whilst on holiday in the area we turned in at Balmakewen Restaurant for lunch. Such a lucky find. Our meals were delicious. Venison and Pork Loaf and Barbecued Chicken equally enjoyed. Tea and coffee nice and hot. Service with a smile. What more could you want. Well done.
