About Us
Artfam is a “one of a kind” business. With its unique ethos, Artfarm has changed people’s expectations of what a hotel or restaurant can be. That power has come from a team who at every level share the beliefs, passions and ambitions of its founders, Iwan and Manuela Wirth.
Honouring and celebrating the history and culture of the Scottish fishing industry, The Fish Shop Restaurant and Fishmonger in Ballater is conceived to provide a friendly and relaxed ambience to cater to the local community as well as visitors that frequent this historic town. The integration of the Fishmonger will ensure the "catch to plate" concept, honest to food and process. Both the fishmonger offering and the restaurant menu will be dependent upon the daily offerings landed from trusted sources.
Of the 40 covers, there is a choice of seating; on stools at the bar, around a clinker-built fishing boat table in the corner, or on banquettes in the main restaurant above which hangs a sculpture of a school of fish, woven in wicker by a renowned local artist.
The project will open to serve the community and returning annual visitors in the Spring of 2023.
