Gordon's Tearoom and Restaurant — Restaurant in Scotland

Lovely tearoom/restaurant in heart of Braemar. Family run business think it's at least 100 years going. Looks like it's been recently refurbished. Lovely decor very warm and inviting. We visited on a very cold day after a long motorbike journey . Sat right beside the radiator which was very welcome . We started with 2 steaming hot chocolates too get us warmed up , I had mine with whipped cream , proper cream from gas gun not the watery deflating sort from an aerosol can 😁. We were both hungry so opted for main meal/lunch options . Husband had the chicken escalope which turned out to be a huge flattened and breaded chicken breast on a fresh roll served with tomato, cucumber and sauce with piping hot skin on chips ,salad and coleslaw he said it was delicious I believe him , nothing was left . I had cod and pancetta fish cakes with same skin on chips,salad and coleslaw and a pot of tartare sauce . Mine was also demolished , delicious. There was a cake counter with lots of home baking that looked delicious but we sadly had to get back on the road.

The teas came out after we were served the food. But the toasty never appeared and we had to ask where it was no sorry was given. Staff back in kitchen speaking to each other and still tables not cleaned. Will not recommend or be back Shame as it used to be a...

Good food and a lovely tearoom, however, call me old fashioned but when you go into an eatery as a couple you expect to eat as a couple. We ordered soup for 1 then a toastie and a sausage bun with tea and coffee to come with the sandwiches. Within 2 minutes we had our tea and coffee, no soup or sandwich. My wife’s toastie arrived but no soup for me yet. She is halfway through and I eventually get my soup, which was lovely but could have been warmer. I then got my sandwich, wife all finished and my coffee is cold. It’s not difficult to get right but the emphasis seems to be, get out on the table what we can and deliver the rest when it’s ready. Otherwise it could have...
