Gourmet Tours

Gamrie Gourmet

Leaving from Banff, this excursion combines a guided sea tour of Troup Head and beyond to Pennan Bay and Aberdour, with a stop-over at Gardenstown and a meal at the charming Harbour Restaurant.

Restaurant owner Fiona produces a range of exquisite dishes from the freshest of ingredients, some brought in daily by local fishermen. Here is a sample of her sea-food delights:

• Pint of prawns with chilli bread and lime mayo dip
• Hot smoked salmon salad with homemade chutney
• Pan fried monkfish with creamed mushroom and courgette and a spicy tomato and water chestnut sauce
• Baked rock turbot with sweet potato mash and Cajun paste
• Tuna steak on a bed of garden salad and pumpkin seeds.

Please note that the Harbour Restaurant is closed on Tuesdays.

A minimum of 6 passengers required for this trip.

Gardenstown Explorer

Experience the thrill of a fast ride on the Buchaneer to the picturesque and traditional fishing communities of Gardenstown and Pennan where you can stop for an hour or two. Visit the local galleries and eateries, have refreshments on the quayside, or take one of Gardenstown's lovely short walks.

Walks include a ramble around the shoreline to the pretty village of Crovie, established as a result of highland clearances, or take a walk up to the historical Kirk of St. John the Evangelist which dates from 1004!
