Unsurprising for somewhere with so much coast, in Aberdeenshire, it's all about fresh seafood!
Don't despair if you're not a fan of fish, though - it's absolutely possible to find other amazing food and drink in the area.
Bay Fish & Chips in Stonehaven draws crowds from far outside the area and has received a range of accolades, including being ranked among the world's top food experiences by Lonely Planet.
In the city of Aberdeen, check out Moonfish cafe for a seafood dinner and then head for a drink in the Tippling House or Orchid cocktail bar (or both!) to round off your night. See our full destination guide to Aberdeen for more food and drink inspiration in the granite city.
The town of Huntly makes for an excellent stopping off point if you're in the middle of an outdoor adventure. You can refuel with delicious ice cream from Rizza's, legendary shortbread from Dean's and even a dram from Glendronach distillery if you feel so inclined!
For food-related activities, try your hand at breadmaking with Crannach Bakery in Ballater or take a chocolate workshop with Cocoa Ooze in Aberdeen.
Beer fans will find a range of opportunities to keep themselves entertained. Our favourites include the BrewDog DogWalk tour at this quirky company's brewery in Ellon. Six Degrees North craft beer has bars in both Aberdeen and Stonehaven.
Local is the name of the game in Eat on the Green in Ellon, where most of the vegetables and herbs used in the dishes are grown in the restaurant's own garden, and the meat is sourced from farms just a few miles away.
In Ballater in the Cairngorms, the unassuming Rothesay Rooms restaurant has received rave reviews since it began as a pop-up established in the wake of natural disaster in 2015 and has gone from strength to strength since then, with a permanent home in Ballater's Old Royal Station. Clachan Grill is also popular, serving fresh Scottish food in a relaxed environment.
If you're heading for the coast, the restaurant at the Kilmarnock Arms in Cruden Bay is in a stunning location right on the coastal road and a great place to stop for lunch if driving from Peterhead to Aberdeen.
As expected in this part of Scotland, Aberdeenshire is not short of distilleries either. Two excellent ones to build into your visit are Glenglassaugh near Banff on the coast and Glen Garioch near Inverurie.
For vegan, gluten-free and other dietary-friendly food, look no further than Buchanan Bistro in Banchory.
