dining at balbirnie
A feature of visiting Balbirnie is undoubtedly the dining experience. Balbirnie’s kitchens have an emphasis on creating classic dishes which use seasonal produce, using at every opportunity the wonderful natural larder that Scotland provides.
We have a choice of two restaurants for our guests, namely our elegant Orangery restaurant and our more casual Balbirnie Bistro.
In The Orangery
- Children of all ages are welcome, and we have a special menu with traditional kids favourite’s. Alternatively we can also prepare smaller versions of dishes from our main menus.
- During a busy service we can have up 500+ dishes being presented, many of these in very hot copper pans etc etc, therefore to alleviate any safety concerns we would respectfully ask that if children are dining in The Orangery they must remain at the table at all times.
Orangery/ The Tasting Room
- The Tasting Room works in effect like an additional dining table, for up to 6 covers. We can offer our lunch and dinner menus as is, with the additional consideration of a set 6 course Tasting Menu at £45 per person. If interested in reserving then please email Special Events Dept. erin@balbirnie.co.uk

- We offer various vegetarian options.
- Children of all ages are welcome, and in this area we are delighted to offer a children’s menu with very traditional child favourites, in The Bistro we do have high chairs and baby food heating facilities, as well as nearby changing facilities.
