What Wayne Powell likes about But N' Ben:
I visited this restaurant on the same day while traveling from Arbroath and was pleasantly surprised by this small place. It had a cozy log fire burning and the staff were very welcoming and happy to find us a table. The food was delicious and all homemade at a reasonable price. It was not just good, it was excellent. I have already recommended it to others as a must-try if they are in the area. I will definitely be... View all feedback.

Vey welcoming and very scenic spot. Delicious homecooked food. High tea on Sunday, was superb. Friendly helpful service. Would definitely highly recommend.

Nestled along the picturesque coastline, The But n' Ben is a charming eatery celebrated for its excellent seafood offerings and warm hospitality. Guests rave about the delicious, fresh meals including local specialties like the Arbroath smokie pancake and generous portions of fish dishes such as kedgeree and poached salmon. The cozy atmosphere, complemented by friendly staff, makes for an inviting dining experience—though some have noted a less-than-ideal interaction regarding mask policies. Overall, this restaurant comes highly recommended for anyone seeking a delightful meal in a welcoming setting. Reservations are advisable due to its popularity.
