The Mither Tap Restaurant
Set yourself up for some sightseeing near Aberdeen with one of Macdonald Hotels' world-renowned full Scottish breakfasts. Our traditional Stornoway black pudding, free range eggs and smoky Loch Fyne kippers are cooked to perfection. Alternatively, try the light fresh fruit buffet, warm baked bread with sweet comb honey, crunchy cereals and freshly squeezed juice.
At night, try locally-bred roast leg of Aberdeenshire lamb with winter greens from our Victorian walled garden. Then finish with a tulle basket of Arran ice cream and Drambuie fruits. In winter the Mither Tap dances with real firelight, in summer it is bathed by a seemingly endless glow. All year round it is a dining destination of distinction.
