The Garden Restaurant & Raemoir Cafe in Aberdeenshire

Great restaurant. Fantastic selection of products sold. The core business, the garden centre never lets you down. Well worth the visit coming from the north or south!!

Very good. I ordered plants and I went to collect them .I had lunch and although thing were limited due to covid regulations it was lovely, staff in cafe and shop very helpful.

Genuinely baffled at the 5 star reviews. Can't fault the cleanliness or the newness of this business, BUT.....it is HIDEOUSLY, MASSIVELY overpriced for absolutely everything. All the plants are bought in (I know because I've seen the same brands in other shops) and in most cases are £10-£20 more expensive that all other garden centres. Some products are £50-£100 more expensive than. They sell an assortment of household goods, pictures, kitchenware etc. I saw cheap tacky art in framed prints in cheap frames on sale for £120 that is the exact same print and frame being sold in high street shops for £20. In the restaurant, it is quite simply robbery. I stupidly bought a macaroni cheese pie (like you get in Greggs) and a small piece of pecorino cheese (120gms) without looking at the prices. £4.00 for the pie and £4.75 for the cheese. In summary, if you have more money than sense, then this is the place for you. If you want the exact same products for considerably less money, AVOID.

Used to one of my favourites but sermed sad and tired when we visited on a wet Thursday. Gift ranges still extensive but not exciting, prices higher than they should be compared to other similar businesses. Hope the malaise is just a post COVID slump and this venue will bounce back again. Sad

Never disappointed at Raemoir Garden Centre, well laid out and never feels busy, even when there are lots of people,in the store.Fantastic festive display, worth a look for that alone. Always something different for Christmas, or any other time of year.Reasonable prices, and friendly staff.

It's as good as a Dobbies if not better, but locally owned. Restaurant is good for lunch or just coffee and one of there very tasty scones with jam and cream. Great place to browse on a rainy day.

Love this place but deducted 1 star because we can't take our dog into the outside area of the cafe, dogs allowed in the shop. We visited the Cafe in August, short staffed and very busy equalled terrible service. Will try one more time in the future to see if things improve.

Didn’t come here for the shopping at all, but used the “restaurant” and kids play area. For some reason they have a “cafe” and a “restaurant”. I’ve no idea why they have both but as it happened the cafe was closed. We were only there for lunch and had 2 under 5s but we ate in the restaurant which served what I would think of as cafe food - soups, toasties etc. The food was good and came out quickly and they have plenty high chairs available. The greeter was very helpful but the waiting staff were very brisk with us and we felt like our food was almost thrown at us.The play park made up for it tho. I didn’t even know they had one as it doesn’t seem to advertise it on the website but it kept the kids very entertained while hubby went off to do some impulse buying.

The rating is for the café/restaurant which is excellent. Really lovely food options and worth a visit. They also have a nice food hall for picking up deli treats.In terms of actual plants, there's more floor space dedicated to gifts and decor and it's definitely not cost conscious... Great stop for lunch and a browse, but possibly not for serious garden shopping.

Big place full of random gifts and materials from pet food to Christmas decor. The polar bear view is pretty good for little children too.
