Banff and Macduff offer a delicious taste of northeast Scotland, where fresh, local ingredients and warm hospitality come together. From traditional fish and chip shops to cosy cafés, fine dining restaurants, and welcoming pubs, there’s something to satisfy every appetite. Many local establishments take pride in using locally sourced produce, including seafood landed just metres from the harbour, farm-fresh meats, and seasonal vegetables grown in the surrounding countryside.

Seafood is a standout feature of the area’s culinary scene, with freshly caught haddock, crab, and lobster often on the menu. Macduff, known for its fishing heritage, is home to one of Scotland’s busiest fish markets, and this connection to the sea is celebrated in many of the town’s eateries. Whether you’re sampling Cullen skink by the waterfront or enjoying a handcrafted gin in a historic inn, the flavours of the coast are never far away.

Local producers and food artisans also play a big part in our communities. Visitors and residents alike can enjoy farmers’ markets, bakeries serving traditional Scottish bakes, and shops offering everything from handmade chocolates to locally brewed ales. Banff and Macduff’s food and drink scene is not just about eating well, it’s about connecting with the people, stories, and traditions that make every bite and sip memorable.
