The Port House of Portsoy — Restaurant in Scotland

Disappointingly gone downhill. 2 years ago I wrote: "Dog-friendly, great food, fast service. We will be back." We have been back several times since then and have been very happy with everything each time. This is the reason we chose to go today for Fathers Day. This was a mistake . The first thing to say is that we were not greeted as we arrived (always had been in the past). We were not shown to a table (as we had been before). Then, the table had not been cleaned (a member of staff half cleared it but we had to do the rest ourselves) and table service had ceased to be so we had to go to the counter to order. We ordered: 2 smoked ham, cheddar and tomato sandwiches on brown seeded bread and 2 roast vegeatbles, humus and mozzarella sandwiches on white bread.

A pleasure to go to even given our 70 mile round trip.

Our first visit to this excellent establishment and certainly not our last. Wonderful location on the harbour. Seating out front, in the courtyard and inside. We only had coffee on this occasion and it was superb. The menu looked most enticing and we will be having lunch next time. Friendly and efficient staff. Thoroughly recommended....

We went in this lovey little cafe for a coffee after a good bike ride along the coastline. It is very friendly and kind. We asked to put the bikes somewhere safe and they obliged. We had two coffees well all I can say is the coffee is the best I’ve ever had anywhere in the UK and Scotland. I have a sage coffee machine at home I never seem to get the same coffee out and about that, I do at home. Put this little café I did have the same coffee that I get a home outstanding cup of coffee with friendly people can’t ask for a better place to stop and have a...
