Eating & Drinking Guide

The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the 2011 edition.

Set in a bright, large and pleasantly laid out extension to Royal Deeside's primary arts space, this new café-bistro is run by highly respected local cooks and caterers Val and Calum Buchanan. Dishes are at once informal and expertly constructed, displaying an enthusiastic embrace of local, seasonal, organic and artisan pub – expect to find menus put together on the basis of what's fresh from the adjoining allotment or local woods that day.

  • Open since: 2010

The Larder: Chef's Choice

Nothing compares to fruit and vegetables freshly dug from a plot around the corner. Val Buchanan, of Buchanan’s Bistro, tells us why produce grown on local allotments is becoming an increasingly prevalent feature on her menu.

This is the second time we have visited the Bistro, we were pleasantly surprised the first time and not disappointed the second. They supply a nice touch of free water automatically and also some delicious home-made bread with your meal. The staff are very friendly and helpful and service is prompt. The coffee and wide-selections of home baking are also delicious. Well done Calum & the team of friends & family who are all given a name check on the menu. PS wide variety of drinks available, be prepared to try something not "brand" also Cola is available.
