Fish Shop Restaurant — Restaurant in Scotland

The sample menus and photos on the website are far from what is served at your dining experience! I stupidly didn’t photograph mine! to put on my review. In fact it seems what looked amazing has seriously diminished and not what is actually served on the ‘A La Carte’ . It’s absolutely disgraceful for the prices being charged. We have eaten in some of the best fish restaurants in the country and it’s fair to say my husband and myself were more than dissatisfied with the pigeon food served up to us. Although the ‘bits’ were of decent quality. I have never had to pay extra for vegetables to compensate for the lack of a main meal. When you serve soup at £12 for half a bowl and then have the audacity to provide no roll or bread accompaniment, but put it on the menu as an appetiser for £3.50 extra, it’s astonishing. My starter was supposedly haddock rarebit, again £12. It consisted of a piece of rock hard bread 2cm x 6cm x 8mm thick, tiny bit of cheese with a few threads of haddock hidden among the watercress garnish.I was asked how my starter was and this was removed from the bill. You’d think this might have geared them up to sort out the main course- no chance. We’re now wondering if we should have had 4 lots of the 3 course £24 lunch??? How can you serve 2 menus together at such a huge price point cost??? As our bill for - 1 decrepit starter, 2 x 4oz pieces of fish, cod £26 monkfish £32. with a few broad beans and fennel on the side, a ginger drink and lemonade, oh 1 portion of chips £93!!! Sorry this included the 2 x 2 pence bit sized crumpet crap starters @ £4 each. Then there is the £1donation on the bill without our permission - this is not legal I might add. It wasn't the £I was an issue it's the clever deceptive way it's done! We declined a dessert as we are not pigeons and certainly not fools when it comes to good food and...

We recently had the pleasure of dining at the Fish Shop Restaurant in Ballater, and We have to say that it was one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. The restaurant is located in a charming old building, and the interior is warm and inviting. The staff are friendly and attentive, and they were very helpful in making recommendations for our meal.

We started with the seafood platter, which was a feast for the eyes and the palate. - roaster lobsters muscles. Scallop The seafood was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection. We also had the white wine sauce, which was absolutely delicious. It also had lunchtime two courses meal for £19.50. both of which were cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, and the presentation was beautiful.

The toilets were clean and well-stocked, and there was even a baby changing facility. This is always a good sign of a restaurant that cares about its customers.
