AA Rosette Restaurant
Scottish seafood, landed daily. An AA Rosette kitchen in a village at the edge of the world. The place Local Hero made famous. Now famous for the food.

Yes, that village. The phone box is still here. So is the magic that made Bill Forsyth stop and say "this is it."
Pennan is one of Scotland's last true fishing villages: whitewashed cottages pressed between cliff and sea. We're the only place to eat, and we take that responsibility seriously.
The Local Hero story →Our fish comes from Peterhead, Fraserburgh, and Macduff. Ports you can drive to in twenty minutes. We cook it the day it lands. Rosette-standard cooking, no ceremony.
After dinner, stay. Three rooms named for Local Hero characters. Two with sea views, one peaceful retreat at the rear. No rush to leave. Breakfast is good too.
Sea views and stargazing. Just like the man himself would have wanted.
We're not on the way to anywhere. That's the point. The single-track road winds down through farmland until suddenly, there it is. A village that seems impossible until you're standing in it.
Most diners come from Banff, Macduff and Fraserburgh, 15 to 20 minutes away. Increasingly from Aberdeen too, an hour's drive. Worth it.
Wednesday to Sunday, 5pm - 9pm. Reservations recommended. We're small and fill up.
