Restaurant · Turriff
Turriff locals talk about this place the way you'd hope — generous plates, fair prices and a cheerful rustic room with a neon "good food good mood" sign that kids seem to love spotting. The menu is huge, which matters when one child wants a burger and the other wants macaroni cheese; even the infant portions come out generous, and there's a proper kids' menu, high chairs and vegans catered for without fuss. Breakfast is a strong shout — fluffy scrambled eggs, thick-cut haggis and black pudding, savoury French toast off the specials — and at weekends you can order brunch or full lunch right up to 2pm, handy with a slow morning. Free parking and buggy access take the edge off arriving. Service is warm, though drinks can land well ahead of the food.
