Bistro Verde in Aberdeen City

Beautiful food Came for my sons wedding reception Friendly staff

Very great service, the food is excellent ☺️

Very creative and tasty turbot and dessert creation

Bistro verde has always been great, I think it’s changed hands recently but it’s kept its high standard. Fish heavy menu with a few specials available. We ordered off the lunch menu with is well priced, I had the mussels and the Rock turbot (a special with a £5 supplement). Food was Excalent muscles were in a rich cream sauce and the fish was delicious. We had wine too that bumped the bill up. Server liked my wallet lol. Recommend

Excellent dishes My wife and I went for dinner. You can taste the freshness and excellent cooking skills from the seafoods Bisque and the special linguine. We simply need more bread to have all the sauce of the dishes. Staff are friendly too.

This little resaturant doesn't look like much but it's really delicious. Here it won't be gargantuan portions, but it will be really very good. 8 Moreover, the fact that there are few dishes on the menu clearly indicates that everything is homemade. The waiter, who I think is also the boss, was very welcoming and even told us things to do in Aberdeen. In the end I really recommend this restaurant if you want to eat fish.

Tuvimos una cena familiar muy feliz. Los platos de pescado eran excelentes y el servicio rápido y amable. Recomendamos a cualquiera que visite Aberdeen en busca de un placer.

Highlight of my trip to Aberdeen. Great food. Great service.

Este lugar debe estar lleno todas las noches, es así de bueno! La mejor comida que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo, cada plato fue un triunfo. Quítate el sombrero del equipo, fue fenomenal y volveremos... ...

We would definitely not recommend this place. Complete waste of money. The food was overpriced, with small portions and poor quality. The service was disappointing as well. When we arrived, we were seated promptly, but no one came to explain the specials or take our order. However, shortly after, another guest arrived and was immediately attended to, given a rundown of the special menu, and had her order taken right away. We had to actively request someone to take our order after waiting for a while. The grilled tuna, priced at £28, was not fresh and the portion size was very small. When we brought this to the server’s attention, he became defensive, ignored our concerns, and offered no resolution. The seafood linguine was equally disappointing—barely any seafood, small portions, and a bland taste. For the price and the experience, this was far from what one would expect, especially on vacation. Definitely not worth the money. We went looking at the good reviews. Not sure how this place got good reviews with such bad food and service. We feel scammed.

Best seafood you will get in Aberdeen, especially for the price! Service was excellent, highly recommend

Both my husband and I I wanted to try the Cullen Skink, we both had this as a starter and it was delicious! We also had the seabas risotto and noodles and both were really lovely. The wind was good and so was the service :-)

Otra comida fresca y sabrosa, siempre garantizado delicioso pescado y marisco 🦞🧡 El servicio también fue impecable. ¡Con la ventaja añadida de que están abiertos un lunes por la noche!

Muy buen restaurante con personal amable. Grandes ostras para empezar, 6 por £ 19. Principal elegido fue uno de los Especiales, Turbot con Verdes y salsa de mantequilla de limón. Sabroso pero un poco caro en £ 39. El mejillón principal también era bueno con un lado de papas fritas. Los postres no eran tan emocionantes y bastante caros. Pero en general la comida era agradable volveríamos. La factura de 3 para un entrante y tres principales y una botella de vino junto con 3 postres era de 211 libras e incluía el cargo por servicio.

Excelente marisco cocinado a la perfección, relación calidad-precio, la lubina era muy sabrosa y abundante Recomendaría a cualquier amante de los mariscos

Finally got to spend our Christmas vouchers and it was very much worth the wait!!! The food is on a different level. Could be more comfortable seating, but a few glasses of wine in and several juicy scallops later it's the last thing on your mind.

The best seafood restaurant in Aberdeen! We've come for lunch and it was fantastic. Its been a while since we've had such a lovely meal. Beautifully presented food with a high attention to detail. We loved the cocktails, definitely must try with the meal. Must visit place for anybody who loves good food

Nice experience on our first day in Aberdeen. Menu was different vs. what was listed on Google, so although the hot seafood platter I was considering was no longer on offer, we found nice fish and seafood alternatives. Have especially liked the Cullen skink (a first try for me) and the Jamaican mussels (should have taken them as main rather than starter). Good sauvignon blanc to pair with also. Would definitely come back.

Wow, wow, wow!!!!! The best seafood in Scotland. Really, really worth to visit !!!! Food is great, looking like 5stars Michelin!!!! We will be back, every time when visiting Aberdeen. Amazing service! THANK YOU!!!

Been twice over two years whilst on work travel. Best seafood ever.

It's a bit pricy but the food was really worth it. Every course tasted amazing. The service was very friendly and the ambient was welcoming and not too posh. We really enjoyed our stay and absolutely recommend this restaurant!

Wow!! The food was absolutely incredible. Very chilled atmosphere and the service was great.

This is such a good seafood restaurant to go to when in Aberdeen! I wanted to have a little bit of everything so I got the special of today which was the seafood and shellfish linguine. The dish was a big enough portion to fill me up and it was very tasty! The decoration in the restaurant was also amazing! It was very costal and friendly. I went around 12 pm on a Thursday and there was plenty of seating.

Just arrived in Aberdeen for an evening and chose to give to Bistro Verde. The food is top quality, whether fish or seafood from the North Sea, the products are fresh and tasty. Aiste's service was more than perfect with a big smile and very professional. I recommend this restaurant 😀😀😀😀

Never pass this restaurant. Looks a bit shabby from the outside but what a food and service.

When we arrived, we received a warm welcome by the owner. It was quiet but it was a Monday evening in February. The menu was varied and there were specials on the board. We started with oysters which were so fresh and some of the best we have eaten. I then had mussels and my husband had Cullen Skink. Both were served with lovely fresh bread and were very tasty. I had the bouillabaisse for main and my husband had sea bass. It was the nicest bouillabaisse I have had, full of seafood and samphire. One of the best meals we have had in some time. We would definitely recommend!

We travelled up from the central belt to meet up with daughter, son in law and two granddaughters (14 yrs and 12 yrs) to have lunch in this little boutique restaurant on The Green. The table was booked for 2.pm. When we arrived the venue was heaving - though we could see our reserved table. All other tables were taken. And before I say anything else this little restaurant was very busy throughout our stay. The menu was fantastic. For starters- two had scallops with a little salad and amongst other ingredients there was a puréed baby corn swirled around plate. Very tasty. One had mussels and one other had Cullen Skink. As neither myself nor one of the granddaughters wanted a starter we had a bit of a treat getting a wee taste from everyone else. Mains were as follows: three of us had the most delicious seafood and shellfish linguine - with a lovely sauce and tasty little crusty topping. One had pan- seared sea bass and two had fish goujons with truffle and cheese fries and the rest. All plates were cleared. Desserts consisted of Bailey,s crème brûlée for two, lemon curd cheesecake for two and Alfrego icecream. For all of us - this was our very first visit to this venue - and we were all absolutely delighted with everything from start to finish. The Aberdeen gang will definitely be back - before we get the chance to come north again - and no doubt will be waxing eloquently to their friends about it. The staff were wonderful. Every single one of them. Friendly, welcoming, in no way pushy. They didn’t need to be. The food spoke for them - and the busyness of the place. I’m only sorry I didn’t get their names (I usually do) but if they read this they will know who they are - and they will know who we are. Thank you so much Bistro Verde for giving us a very enjoyable afternoon

Came in with no expectations and I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food. Mussels were cleaned good, no sand. And the hake portion of fish was very nice. Recommend the place for seafood dishes, they don’t have many, but the ones they have are done well.

I was not sure what to expect from this place... My partner insisted that we try it, and I was really surprised by the food and ambience. The staff are very kind and attentive with the clients. Sea food and fish, they're not always my cup of tea but the food was AMAZING, the perfect balance. I had the mussels and the linguine sea food pasta.

The food and service were simply lovely. However, the music they played completely ruined the vibe. Guys, don’t be stingy and not pay a PRS Music licence. Having to endure the relentless cheesy saxophone covers of every pop song from 1968-1990 is quite frankly a horrendous audio experience, especially at that high volume level. There’s only so much a man can take whilst chowing down on delicious jerk mussels and baby Squid. Ambience is everything guys. You need it to match the quality of the food you’re serving. Invest. I’ll be back again, hopefully not with earplugs !

Min veninde jeg jeg var der igår Umagelig, , usaltet, forretten passede overhovedetikke sammen Vegetar lasagnen var kønsløs, smagte ikke sf noget og manglede salt Til gengæld var desserten også uspiselig for kiksebunden var oversaltet Idag har jeg været skidt Så find et andet sted st spise Servertrisen var også sur Hin spurgte hvad vi syndes og blev sur over svaret Synd i ikke fav os en anden ret så havde vi ikke skrevet dårlig anmeldelse

Delicious food at Bistro Verde! We had the scallops and mussels to start, the bouillabaisse and seabass for mains and the dark chocolate mousse from the specials for dessert, crème brûlèe and a cocktail. Every bite was mouth watering! Service was excellent - very attentive and courses came out quickly. The intimate tmosphere is lovely as well - we will definitely be back!

Had a wonderful bouillabaisse this evening, completely hit the spot, together with scallops for the starter. This is a hidden gem - but if you like seafood, you should make the effort to try it out

Absolutely delicious, small menu but beautifully cooked and full of flavour. 1st visit for lunch will definitely be returning.

Had a wonderful meal tonight. It was our first time, it won't be our last. I don't know why it took us so long to visit it.

Had the hot seafood plate and really enjoyed it. -the mussels where brilliant and nice bread :-) Had a "local" Brewdog lager, was fine but nothing special. Left, perhaps not hungry, but definitely not full; but then I knew that when I ordered a seafood plate...

Excellent value for Aberdeen Restaurant Week

Guy was by himself serving on black Friday so things were slower than expected. Still fantastic fish, it's NOT a meat place that's for sure- duck was not the best.

Was looking for a quiet seafood place near my hotel and found this gem. Very quiet on a Monday night but a really nice place to relax. The mussels were enormous, reasonably priced compared with the many chain outlets around and service was very quick. This will be my go-to spot for the rest of the week and I'll just work my way through the menu!

Was here on Friday night for my Wife’s birthday. Staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. The food was so tasty. If you like sea-food this is a restaurant for you, though they have other options too.

Had walked past this restaurant the previous evening and decided to try it for Sunday lunch. As a solitary diner, I felt very comfortable eating here and was treated with great kindness and helped with what to order. Both starter and main were sublime, perfectly hot and fresh - a good choice for lunch and good value for such quality

Had lunch here today and everything was fantastic. Food, service and atmosphere was outstanding. Great value

Lovely way to spend a Thursday lunchtime. Food was great and good to see restaurant busy on a lunchtime

A really good experience and great food. Will certainly visit again

Excellent service and food Great atmosphere

If I could give more than 5 for everything I would. What an absolutely awesome place. Service was fantastic and the food... my goodness... truly outstanding. Wish we lived nearer.

Went here for restaurant week with a friend, excellent meals at an excellent price! Everything was wonderful, service was prompt and friendly.

Lovely little restaurant. Friendly service and great food, well worth a visit

Lovely little restaurant in the old town of Aberdeen. The Cullen Skink was outstanding, so was the Bouillabaisse. Fresh as fresh can be. Nice deserts too. All in all happy with the experience. Comes with a recommendation.

Best restaurant in town Amazing food , atmosphere and great service

The food is very tasty and great but the quantity is so minimal. If you are looking to get satisfied after a long journey like mine please eat somewhere else or you need to do 2xstarters haha etc. Joust know it’s small portion but delicious!!!👌

Excellent service and top quality seafood. This place is not to be missed.

Excellent seafood cuisine, generous portions, multiple wine pairing options, delicious, very happy

Well presented plates of tasty food with a small but adequate wine list. I hope to return soon

Good informal spot for some fish cuisine. Good service

Nice and welcoming place but so-so food. The Cullen Skink was watered down, not good, liquid with almost butter, certainly not like the one in the photos here (which in fact are from years ago) or like the classic recipe, creamy... In other places I have had the classic Cullen Skink so I know how it has to be done.

Cosy place, Nice sea food, oyster was tasty, and the whole lobster was amazing.

Fabulous service and value for money. Food also superb.

If you love sea food, then you have to try this place. If you dont, then there are options for you also. Lunch menu deal is value for money. Recommend the mussels with chorizo. Seafood linguine amd the brulee for desert.

I had scallops for starter and the Scottish lobster as a main. Both dishes were ABSOLUTELY delicious!! Thia place is a full 5-Star!

We ate two starters each and it was super tasty. Wine at ... good price and nice staff.

Exceptional food, service, and atmosphere. Loved everything.

Excellent restaurant and very warm welcome. We had a good chat with the person who served us and it was really pleasant. We were looking for a seafood restaurant and we were served! Very good oysters as a starter, with a little vinegary shallot sauce, a delicious seafood chowder with tender leeks and smoked haddock (that was my favorite), and very good land and sea scallops. As a main course, the bouillabaisse was excellent and ultra filling! The dish with the sea bass was very good and refined. The wines offered to go with starters and main courses were also perfect. We finished the meal with a succulent crème brûlée… I really recommend this restaurant as much for the kindness of the host who received us as for the cuisine of the chefs! Go there with your eyes closed! And thank you again !

Absolutely beautiful little seafood restaurant which also has an amazing steak on the menu cooked to perfection. All our meals were perfect. Visiting from Sydney, Australia. 🇦🇺 Highly recommend.

Had a lovely time here, best steak I've had in a long time, staff were lovely, made very welcome. Will definitely come back when in Aberdeen again.

Genuinely, one of the most enjoyable meals I've had in the longest time. The staff were so lovely and gave us such food for thought about where to go within Aberdeen. The food was so good. I kept on eating despite being very full. Really nice!

Amazing food, absolutely love it

Beautiful and cozy restaurant with good selection of music. Great service and very tasty food.

Went for my birthday lunch treat. Service was great. Wine list excellent and the Seafood totally oustanding, fresh and delicious. Cannot wait to return for more of the same.

Good food and service. Portions a little small for me!

Our meal was superb, best Cullen skink soup my wife has had. Boullibase excellent. Staff were brilliant. We will definitely be back

Family evening out for my mother’s 80th. Excellent food, really attentive and well informed staff The ambience was nice and would definitely recommend

Nice, small and not crowded restaurant in the city centre. Food is well presented and tasty. Minus was cold toilet, no heating.

Absolutely lovely meal in brilliant atmosphere. Staff were extremely friendly and professional. Sea food was delicious. Oysters to kick things off were lovely. Would definitely recommend.

I wanted to finish a holiday with a good seafood meal, and this was fantastic. Nice, characterful restaurant. Intimate, not too large. Great friendly staff. Absolutely excellent food.

I have been in Aberdeen for 4 years now, and this is the best food I have had. I emailed Bistro Verde in the morning and they answered immediately and booked a table for us exactly as we asked. If you prefer not crowded places, this one is for you. We enjoyed every single bite of everything we ordered! I usually get disappointed when I order fish because it always turns out to be small portions (gourmet), or not tasty. Bistro Verde changed my bad experience. The fish and seafood dishes we ordered were a perfect combination of a good portion and a gourmet type of food! The people were the friendliest! Not to mention the well-priced perfect dessert that followed. Fully recommend Bistro Verde for a nice date out for two.

Hidden gem, highly reccomend. Beautiful little place at the green, top quality food and amazing service

Another great experience, I must say this is now my 4th visit in the space of a year and I have always received great service and always enjoyed the presentation and flavor of all the dishes. I will be back again shortly and i cannot wait!

Was given a last minute night off work and decided to go for some food at a place I've been eyeing up for a while! I can tell you it surpassed my expectations! No nonsense well cooked seafood served in a quirky, yet, warm and comfortable environment! I had the scallops to start. I would have loved a wee bit more pancetta action on the plate but I think thats a personal preference! My friend had the Cullen skink! 🤤🤤 What a bowl of soup that was!!!!! We both had the sea bass! Great! Just great! Super crispy, well seasoned skin and just a delight to eat! I would have loved a bit more samphire on my plate, but that's just me! It was a quiet night in the restaurant, although I think that was across the board for industry tonight! I noted the manager preparing a table for a couple of older customers with poor mobility well in advance! I'm assuming they were regulars, but a very attentive none the less! Would definitely recommend and I will be back again!!!

Great restaurant, with a good selection of fish and seafood. I had the sea bass and the mussels and both tasted great. The two course lunch menu is £20 and a bargain (especially if one comes from London)!

Beautiful restaurant with amazing food in a lovely setting on the Green. The Cullen skink was the best I’ve had and the trout was lovely - great portion sizes too. Every member of our party was blown away by the food (and the service!). Our waiter Harrison was particularly attentive and made our evening. A lovely restaurant without being pretentious. Can’t rate this place highly enough. We’ll be back soon

We came here for a last minute change of plan birthday celebration. This was the first time we had been here and came here as a family of three with a four year old boy. I personally though the food was brilliant. My husband and I both had scallops and a steak each. I thought the steak was slightly overcooked however not enough to complain to the staff they catered for my son with fresh fish and chips which looked amazing. We had a three course meal with coffee. I thought it was a shame that it wasn't busier. It honestly should be. Thought the food and service was excellent 👌

We came an hour early for our reservation. No problem. The table in the corner was just perfect. A promising menu was presented, alongside the adequate wine list. We choose two glasses of beautiful savingon blanche, fish soup, and scallops. The starters were delicious. The fish soup came in a generous portion. It was tasty and fresh. Scallops were equally perfect. The miniature cubes of fried black pudding enhanced the taste of the dish. Sweet and salty flavours in perfect harmony together with the texture of the black pudding and the crust of the perfectly fried scallops. Both starters left us with a peaceful mind and utterly enjoyment. The expectations for the main dishes were astronomical. The risotto were well balanced with a pronounced taste of mushrooms. The texture of the rice was on the spot. The fried sea bass was crisp outside and moist and tender inside. Sweet potatoes, citrus, sweet pies, and broccolini were enhancing the complexity. A new combination for me. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. We'll be back as soon as possible.

Great seafood at this quiet, homely, bistro. Nice that Aberdeen has a good seafood restaurant in the middle of the city once again. Service was a little slow but the wine was nice it was well worth the wait. We'll go back for sure.

It’s ok. Friendly service and the food was ok. The £34 hot seafood platter from the specials menu was missing clams and crayfish, Slightly disappointing. Should have been taken off the board really. The other courses were fine. The atmosphere is nice.

The seafood starter and the mains where prepared and cooked to perfection The oysters where particularly excellent, scallops Sea bass and their accompanying dishes where all top notch, so well done to the chefs and the service was also very good 👍

Had eaten at Bistro Verde many times over past few years always fabulous seafood and service. So disappointed to discover it had changed owners . The resteraunt was very cold in fact uncomfortably so. My daughters soup had obviously been heated up in microwave . I ordered oysters and I have never seen oysters so small but at least they were fresh. We both ordered the seafood linguine and only seafood was salmon & bream no prawns etc but it was quite tasty . When I got the bill I bad been over charged for both mains but was refunded when I pointed this out. Sorry to say I can't recommend nor will return .

Beautiful seafood. One of the best meals I’ve tasted. Full of flavour. Super friendly staff and lovely little restaurant. Definitely worth a visit. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Excellent friendly service . Food beautiful and fresh. A great selection of food and drinks . Would definitely recommend a visit.

Rather slow, at least the night we went. There was just one waiter and only 3 occupied tables. Food service took quite a while, and the meal was fine but I wouldn't return.

Food was really enjoyable; mussels, seafood platter, whitefish, bread was excellent. Went for alot of the cocktails and specials of the day also, so bill did mount up. Surely still one of the better seafood places in Aberdeen. Service was ok, although not pinpoint and...

The interior of this restaurant is fantastic as has great decoration with lots of humorous signs and pictures around. We were greeted immediately on arrival by very outgoing and kind staff who showed us to our table and explained the new menu to my partner...

Food was amazing, staff very nice.

Picked this from TripAdvisor. As soon as arrived I was shown to my table in this intermate restaurant and my order taken fairly quickly. Scallops to start. Lovely. The sea bass was beautifully cooked. Then had to wait for my desert of ice cream as...

Friendly attentive staff. Excellent food. Not too large, but not cramped - you felt well cared for. Well decorated to give a relaxed but fun vibe. Scallop starter, seafood platter and cheese selection all delicious. No rush, no fuss, very enjoyable.

For our first Scottish restaurant we really enjoyed it...we ate our first and last Scottish oyster...delicious...

I hadn’t been in Bistro Verde for years. I certainly won’t be waiting years to return. From the first sip of my Fallen from the Tree (gorgeous cocktail - autumn in a glass) to the last chew of my chocolate eclair I was in food...
