Today we had the best,freshest,reasonably priced lunch in Aberdeen. Haven’t been for a while but it never lets us down. Amazed at how many foreign visitors were stopping looking and then trying to get a seat. This is a unique place and then we learned about the possible demolition!!! Why do this to an already broken city centre.

Being an Aberdonian who lives overseas I’m always keen to see what the chefs are conjuring up these days when I’m back on holiday. Tonight we went to Cafe52 for dinner - no idea why it’s taken me so long but oh my it was such a lovely experience. First and foremost the manager was so kind and generous with her time explaining the extensive menu and history of the restaurant etc. My friend and I opted to go for four starters to share plus a dessert. Highly recommend the mackerel pate, then the black pudding with pesto and poached pear. The meatloaf was not your typical dried up meatloaf that needed a gravy; instead it was cooked I believe in a bain Marie so it was tender, and flavoursome and we also had the halloumi which was yum. We finished off with baked nectarines with sorbet. A simple but well made dessert. I’ll definitely be back. We sat inside and it was very cosy. PS I believe the Aberdeen Council are looking to reduce the restaurants space as they bring in new plans for the historic area of “the Green”. I hope this doesn’t happen as their current set up appears to be just perfect.

No, assolutamente no. Il patè di fegato sembrava salame tritato, le patate nei piatti principali con pesce erano crude. Per mangiare abbiamo aspettato 45 minuti l'antipasto e altri 45 minuti per il piatto principale. L'acqua del rubinetto sapeva di cloro. Dentro al locale esterno era freddo e tenevano continuamente la porta aperta. Non lo consiglio

It's important to note Cafe 52 has NOT passed a health and safety test in over 4 years. Their last inspection was "improvement required" due to mould and feces which still hasn't been fixed. Most of the food is either made by his mum or bought at marks and spencers anyway due to him not paying his chefs a decent wage... https://www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk/business/cafe-52-1425302.html

Ordered the meatloaf as you don't usually see that on a uk menu. It had some sort of soft sultanas in, a flavour of allspice, was cold and came shaped like a puck of fruit pudding. The meat used (if any) had no flavour and the side of red cabbage and red onion slaw ordered alongside was ruined with chunks of watermelon mixed through it. There was an extremely sweet chutney on the plate as well as a salad of lettuce, golden soft sultanas, dried apricots and cold caramelised onions topped with dill! This was all very unpleasant and after telling the staff I was not satisfied, was simply dismissed like I hadn't said anything. Will not visit again or recommend to others

Ordered the meatloaf as you don't usually see this on a uk menu. It came cold, pressed, pale and shaped like a puck. It had the flavour of allspice and was full of soft sultanas. Pretty sure I'd been served a bad slice of fruit pudding from orkney. The meat used, if any was bland and pasty in texture. The side of red cabbage and onion slaw (with mayo btw) was totally ruined by the addition of watermelon cubes!.. The side salad was full lettuce leaves with a pile of halved semi dried apricots, golden soft sultanas and cold caramelised onions topped with dill!.. This was all very unpleasant and after being asked how i found everything, was fully ignored when hearing it was negative. Complete waste of money and time

Nothing quite like an entitled business. They have an A5 card of information on their business and the good they do, but I was appalled at one article they wrote. They claim that GPs are forcing people into lactose-free and gluten-free diets, that it’s all a con, and will only cater to menu changes for ‘actual’ life threatening conditions. Gluten won’t kill a coeliac, but they shouldn’t have to risk hours of pain on toilet because of this cafe’s ignorance. This sort of misinformation and slander is so damaging to the NHS. Furthermore they claimed they couldn’t process card payments, yet another one of these articles spoke about how they prefer you to pay cash. Highly suspicious, and dare I say dishonest of them to force this upon paying customers. The food wasn’t worth the overpriced value I had to pay with cash.

Absolutely love Cafe 52. Stumbled across it by chance, exhausted and hungry after Christmas shopping. I can Honestly say it's the best restaurant I've ever visited. I've never felt so comforted and nurtured by food before. Ever! You can tell every dish is made with love. Everything about this place is just perfect. Staff are warm and friendly. Decor is brilliantly unique and homely and the food... Like I say, I've never left a place feeling so content. It was like leaving your grandparents after they fed you up, made sure you were ok and sent you home with a smile on your face! Really reasonably priced too and the ethics behind the produce aswell is just amazing. Mrs B also makes the best chutney. Just sayin'. Will definitely visit again ❤️

In addition to spectacular food, the entire atmosphere is spectacular, from the waiters to the cooks and the owner of the restaurant, they are friendly. As soon as you enter it seems like you are entering an art gallery and the only thing you can breathe is art! Even the food! We would also like to give a special thanks to the employee Ashley who was super nice to us, she is very friendly who enjoys what she does, she said it herself! I don't know how to describe her because there are no words for such a good person who makes us feel at home. She is always willing to help, she quickly helped us find what we were looking for in the city. And above all, he is a good person that shows in his eyes!

Ristorantino in centro Aberdeen, location molto carina e ben tenuta. Ha sia una sala interna che una sala esterna. Ho mangiato lo sgombro affumicato con insalata ed era buono, patate fritte fatte in casa (ed erano veramente patate). Servizio non velocissimo ma cordiale. Prezzo buono 23 £ circa compresa una birra (rigorosamente in bottiglia, pare non abbiano la spina).

I went to this place not knowing what to expect as it was a very last-minute decision before I had to get a taxi back to the airport. Let's just say I was far from disappointed ... walking to Cafe 52 felt a little dodgy to me, but once I saw it and sat down, I fell in love with the place. This young waiter was so friendly towards me, and the rest of the staff were all so attentive also, including the chef who came down to ask how the food was. This is very rare and shows true passion! Which leads me onto the food. I have one word as it left me speechless at the time ... DELICIOUS! Thank you for such great service and serving up amazing food! If I am ever in Aberdeen, I know where I will be returning too ... I highly recommend this place and wish it all the success going forward!

Where do I start? For 20 years this has been my favourite restaurant in Aberdeen. However, the last two visits have been dreadful. Last but one visit I ordered a stew dish - it had a single cube of meat!! Most recent visit….first thing we spotted was the sign saying ‘Cash preferred’ with directions to the nearest cash machine. This is 2023, FFS! Next, there were 8 mains on offer. Something like five were veggie/vegan, two were fish and the solitary meat dish was chicken. Wont be going back.

For what your paying for it’s just not worth it. Presentation looks nice, but the quality of the food is just not quite there. The houmous is really just a disgrace to the Middle East as a whole. The combination of having black pudding with apricot, sultanas, topped with tangy beetroot salad is just mindboggling. If you’re a rich hipster who wants to take photos of your meal looking nice for instagram them this is the place for you - but expect some weird flavour combinations. The only thing that’s good is the ambiance and waiting staff who are super friendly

Ended up getting a McDonald’s. Waited 2 hours and 15 minutes for a cold starter, with even colder cutlery, as the waiter didn’t give our order to the kitchen. We only got food because one of our party went to find a member of staff when we realise all the other tables had come in, eaten, and left whilst we still sat there. Our mains arrived and the pork was the driest thing I’d ever eaten in my life. Absolutely disgusting. Our original waiter didn’t come near us to apologies for his original blunder and everyone gave us a wide berth for the whole evening. Had to physically get someone to give us a bill so we could go somewhere else to get food. Absolutely appalling evening and if I could give less than 1 star I absolutely would. Bitterly disappointed with the entire experience.

I m a bit sad, i used to say that it was my go-to place in aberdeen, but i feel like that the quality of the meals have droped a litle bit. However the staf and the environment is still wonderful and warm. I just wish more that more effort in the cooking side would have been involved! Being innovative is amazing, but understanding the right combination between different tastes, flavour and texture is crucial! For example there was nothing played with sourness! At all, all about sweet ans salty... Thats very poor, especially when the meals i tried weren't seasoning enough... The houmous was plained and lacked of flavour (no lemon nor cumin, even though its the base of any Houmous) and was really small (i mean look at the size of in that plate and all the bred), and lots of bred... Thats not what you expect when its written in the first row "Houmous"... And the vegies that went along with it had no purpose.. Big sliced of un seasoned salad and just Sweet pickled vegetables.... In plus i asked the waitress for a lemon and i insisted on a half lemon, and they brought me a fine slice... I didn't understand. And the mushrooms fricassée was nice, but that's funny that for a meal that had that much sauce you do not add anything to eat that sauce with, like rice or some of the bred that was over used for the Houmous..... Well, i am sure i was just unlucky this time, and i m sure it ll be better next time. But I trully have high expectations from my favourite restaurant in aberdeen.. Sorry to be honest

The prawn curry was delicious! The STP was the best I’ve ever eaten 😭

Can't fault a wonderful private dinner party here at The Chester Hotel. Staff were attentive, friendly and made a special day even more special. Delicious cocktails, yummy food, a beautiful location and great setup. Would recommend and return. Thank you to the team!

My spouse and I had a great visit at Cove Bay Hotel. We only stayed 1 night and wished we could have stayed longer had we known how wonderful this place was. Jamie at reception was very kind and helpful, gave great recommendations. Louise at the bar was super sweet and offered great conversation and recommendations.

Nice coffee when it’s hot: Most of the staff are pleasant but some staff seem annoyed at the fact that we are using subscription cards.
