Ballater Station and Royal Waiting Room

Highlight • Cafe

Recently opened and restored tea rooms. The station has been lovingly restored and you can access the very fancy royal tearoom and privy. You cannot access the royal train carriage but you can look inside the window - it’s very opulent. You can have high tea and meals inside the old station. There were a few vegan options including the overly ubiquitous, and predictable, falafel and hummus sandwich or salad. They did do a panini with vegan cheese, butternut squash and sundries tomato, which wasn’t bad. The soya latte is nice. It’s well worth a visit.
