Cafe Boheme in Aberdeen City

Excellent service and very good food. We had beef as main course and Crème Brûlée for dessert.

Meals were luke warm and under seasoned. Classic French with quality produce but not that innovative. Expected better from a Michelin restaurant.

Always reliable and to such a high standard. Food excellent, decor very French

Sat by fireplace and ordered some of the best food I have ever ever eaten. By far the best place to eat out in this city.

Outstanding meal from start to finish. The sourdough is fantastic, ham hock terrine was superb, addition of a cured egg yolk gave the dish a beautiful creaminess and it was seasoned perfectly. A lovely tang from the chutney to finish it off. Fillet steak for main course was just awesome. Perfectly seared and seasoned and rested it was an absolute joy to eat. The accompanying carbs were great, beautiful potato terrine, lovely sauce and tomatoes. Lovely crispy shallots for texture. To finish I had a creme brulee which was prefect and served with a lovely warm madelaine. Great service from Mike and Kirsty. Great matched wines and beautiful coffee. Can't recommend enough.

Regular customers at Cafe Boheme and it’s one of Aberdeen's best restaurants - no question. Enjoyed another lunch today which was perfectly executed. Staff very attentive and friendly. Your money is well spent here.

We had a delightful meal at Cafe Boheme. We were literally the only people in at lunch on a Thursday and still received excellent service. The food was delicious; the beef was honestly one of the tastiest dishes I've ever had and my partner loved the French onion soup. This was a truly excellent meal that we enjoyed enormously. If you're in Aberdeen, I couldn't think of anywhere better to dine. Be warned though: it books up for supper well in advance!

Went for lunch with a friend yesterday. Hadn't been to the restaurant since the previous owner retired so was wondering if the standard would be as good. Everything was wonderful. Champagne at the right temperature instead of being ice cold. I had the french oinion soup, steak and creme brulee. All were divine as was the delicious dessert wine suggested by the waiter. Wonderful restaurant.

I am so grateful my boyfriend chose Cafe Boheme for our anniversary dinner, we couldn’t have had a better time. All the food we tried was amazing, we loved the mussels and the pigeon. The service was exceptional, they took very good care of us, always with a smile in their faces, they were so nice and paid a lot of attention to our needs even the restaurant was busy. I am so grateful for the time we had.

Fantastic restaurant, lovely decor and very attentive staff. Excellent food and really good atmosphere. They have good cocktails (esp their take on Espresso martinis) Would recommend !

Dined with business clients. Everything was top class. Food was exceptional and the service was slick. Wine was good quality and well priced. Rustic French style interior added to the atmosphere. Well done all round.

Thought long and hard on how to rate this place. Booked on the strength of reviews. Forgot that in Aberdeen there is a tendency to follow the pack, and Emperor's new clothes type of town. Upfront let me be clear, the cooking here is technically competent. The menu though is uninventive and uninspiring. The front of house staff were unengaged, except with each other, despite our efforts. Given the averageness of food and service, the price charged for basic fare was excessive. On the wine front bottles available for £10 on general sale were going for £40+ here. This was meant to be the feroundation for a night out. Instead we felt so deflated by the experience we just headed straight home.

Incredible food, lovely atmosphere

Unimaginative, lacking in subtelty and flavour. Overpriced and disinterested staff. Lacking in atmosphere. What was meant to be a positive start to an evening out left us so deflated we just headed home to lick our wounds afterwards.

Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend!

my wife and I enjoyed a wonderful meal. Steak French onion, soup, mussels, and sourdough bread.. service was excellent

I haven't actually visited the restaurant, but met a staff member, Michael I think, who mentioned that he worked there in passing. His willingness to help myself and colleagues outside of work stood out to the degree that I wanted to acknowledge it.

Had an excellent meal here the other night. French onion soup and beef filet were top notch. The espresso martinis made by Louis (I think) were top notch. Some of the best I have ever had TBH. Will return next time I’m in town.

Very mixed feelings about our dinner here, and the bill didn't help: this restaurant is unashamedly overpricing and seems to get away with that. The gin-cured trout (starter) was soooooo tiny a dish that it should be filed under "appetizers", not "starters". My plate had a minuscule (truely !) serving of said trout, and the quantity of shallot confit (one spoonful) accompanying it made sure that it was impossible to taste the trout at all, unless if you ate it on itself. This was the most expensive starter on the menu, and imho definitely overpriced. My partners' starter (risotto bon bon) was worth the name "starter", but the herbs on which the risotto was to rely were very, very timid in aroma. On the other hand, the crunchy outer layer of the bon bon was very well executed. On to the mains: My warm salad with heritage tomatoes, caramelized peach and goats cheese mousse was good... but had the size of a starter. The peach was not caramelized, which is a pity. My partners' sea bass main was overall close to ok, the fish very dry though, which is a shame for such a beautiful product. And, again, the serving's size was not what you'd expect for a decent main in this price range. I am / we are not expecting big portions, that's really not the case, but at Café Bohème, they were truely not up to standards, moreover given the price. Service: weird. We were seated, given a menu, 2 minutes later our waitress brought us two bread plates and assorted knives. A little bit later, she came back for the drinks order. When I asked for a glass of Carignan, she started laughing and asked me to point out said wine on the winelist. Being french-speaking, maybe I pronounced it in a way she is not used to, but why that should result in an outright laugh is a mystery to me. When the glasses of wine were served, she took away the bread plates and knives. Why? No idea. When we ordered our food, and also some bread (which you have to pay for), she brought the plates back. If you only bring plates for bread to people who order bread, please bring them after the bread order is placed (how complicated can it be?). After we finished our starters, half of the bread we had on our table was left. She asked if she could take it away. We said we wanted to keep it, she gave us a surprised look and laughed (again). What is the point here? You order bread which you have to pay for, but you're supposed to finish it at the same time as your starter? I don't get it. Halfway through our main course, another waitress came to ask if we wanted another glass of wine. A little too late, sadly. After finishing our mains, our waitress came to clear the table: she piled my partner's plate and cutlery on top of mine which was still sitting right in front of me, then took the pile away. That's not how it's done... One minute later, she put a menu under our noses, saying "Dessert". Nothing more, nothing less. Strange feeling: why don't you just ask "Would you like to have a look at the dessert menu?". We didn't order dessert, just one espresso each. A total bill of over £ 110 for the both of us, with 2 starters, 2 mains, bread, 2 glasses of white wine and 2 espressos. We have paid similar amounts and got a lot more in return: truely savoury and innovative dishes, complimentary bread, relaxed professionnal and welcoming service, all without having to leave feeling still quite hungry. I'm really sad that our dinner turned out this way. Maybe it was just tough luck for us? Unfortunately, this leaves us with a "would not recommend". There are far better options in Aberdeen in this price range, with an excellent value-and-service-for-money (at least, based on our experience).

Pretty good, a bit pricy for the mains but tasted good. Service was attentive, overall worth a visit.

Went for an early dinner late lunch was lovely food with good service highly recommend

100% one of the best restaurants in Aberdeen. Highly recommend the tasting menu with paired wines to try some incredible dishes and drinks.

From the point of view of a French person on vacation, Scotland is a culinaryly difficult, even distressing, destination on a daily basis. Oasis in the middle of the desert (and the holidays), this restaurant designated "French cuisine" which does not in fact offer a particularly French dish, but just good and well-cooked dishes (the wine list is indeed French, which does not night not). This evening, we enjoyed the Scottish mussels (+++) while the risotto was more average as a starter. The fish (Hake) and meat (pigeon) were very good. Attentive and efficient service. In short, a welcome step in the middle of the usual defrosted and fried dishes.

Best restaurant in Aberdeen. Food was fantastic as usual and the service was great.

Definitely overpriced. Pretend to be fine dining, good presentation, good decoration of the restaurant, but the understanding of cooking is apparently limited. £4.5 for the bread and whipped butter, tiny portion for the entree with however average taste. Expensive main course. Would definitely avoid coming again.

I'm french and I wanted to show a restaurant like this to my friend... Everything was just perfect! A cosy table next to the fire, the service was great and the meal just amazing... Don't hesitate to try it!! Enjoy!!

Great service, delicious food and atmosphere and the crème brulee I can still remember. Yum

We got the private room which was a lovely surprise and as we were celebrating our daughter becoming a solicitor was even more special. However, 3 if our main meals weren't hot.

Great meal there was a party of 10 of us. In fact the best meal I have had in Aberdeen in a long time. Thank you so much. visited again tonight 8th June 2023 wonderful meal excellent service french onion soup delicious as was the Seabass.

A great restaurant, really recommend! The food was very good and a good menu. Good atmosphere in the restaurant, clean and nice. If you travel to Aberdeen, go and eat there!

For me this was a little part of France in the heart of Aberdeen

Nice place and very good service. Had the mussels as starter and the hake with risotto as main. It was good, but I must say I was a bit dissapointed with the taste of the food based on all the good reviews. Maybe the chef had a bad day. I would give it a new try, but definetely not worth 4,7 stars as google says when I ate there yesterday.

Sneaky 10% gratitude to bill added automatically ruined atmosphere and service

delicious food and a good menu, but make sure you make a reservation.

Delicious food! Classic dishes done well with just the right amount of added inventiveness.

Went out for my wife's 40th and we were seated next to 2 foul mouthed, loud, inebriated business men. We asked to be moved which felt like an issue for the staff but they did eventually move us. I ordered the seared sea bream. I was asked if I minded it being the whole fish which I assumed meant it would have the head and tail. It arrived minus the head and tail, but completely un-filleted. Gave up picking bones out after 30 minutes and approximately 1/3 of the fish. No one asked why I had left so much of the dish that cost £25. The wine was distinctly average despite opting for a more expensive bottle. This was our 4th outing here. It's really gone downhill in recent times. I won't hurry back, and nor should you.

Brilliant. Great food, great staff, great service. Too long since I was last here - won't make that mistake again.

Very attentive staff, friendly, professional and happy to advise on menu and wine selection. I had the duck starter and beef for main, it was delicious. My dinner guest had the sea bream which was cooked perfectly and was very tasty.

Wonderful dining experience with attentive staff. Would have loved more purely pescaterian options as the fish options had meat as part of the dish. But the vegetarian and vegan options compensated. Very nice atmosphere with French music and cozy feel with the backdrop of Aberdeen's weather.

Brilliant meal, great dishes and very good service and hospitality. Strongly recommend.

I loved my meal here. Service was excellent. Menu was limited but very nice. Starter all delightful. Mains took a while to come but we weren’t in any hurry. Everything was delicious accept the steak which was overcooked. The seam bream was FANTASTIC!

What a wonderful, cozy and romantic restaurant with excellent food. We sat by the fireplace. Such a lovely experience. We started with charred sea trout which was lovely and fantastic French Onion soup. We ended with the Sea Bream. All most excellent.

A refined and unforgettable moment!

Unexpected French restaurant in Aberdeen. Really good service! Bravo. Arrived here on a trip around the distilleries and they managed to accommodate us on a Saturday afternoon.

Always never disappoints. Great atmosphere and love they had the open fire on during a dull Saturday afternoon. Food and service were excellent and attentive, the Cod main dish was outstanding. And the Chablis wine for a house wine was good and the price point even better. Will be back.

Cafe Boheme came well recommended, this was my first visit and I loved it! Fantastic food, friendly and efficient staff and a congenial setting.

lovely meal and great service. Waiter extremely helpful

Food was great, but more importantly the staff were so friendly and helpful and took great care of us and made sure we enjoyed our time and food, definitely coming back many times and highly recommend

Excellent as always, looking forward to a spring/summer menu.

Reasonably priced restaurant with welcoming staff and very good food. French style using local produce. Highly recommend their French Onion Soup. It’s around the Back Streets but is popular so recommend booking. Been a couple of times and not been disappointed. Well kept toilets too!

Beautiful meal, great service, will definitely recommend to others - don't go if your looking for a cheap night out though

finally got a booking and had dinner here with hubs. what a charming little place tucked away on windmill brae the food was absolutely brilliant we had a 3 course every course was gorgeous the cream brûlée is to too good highly recommended must book in advance

Staff was kind and nice. We weren’t there for long bc we were wait for our train but we have tried a cream brûlée and it was good. The coffee was nice as well

Nice welcome, attentive staff, great wine, cocktail & food choices & loved the decor. Food was amazing, especially the French onion soup & the beef. My only niggle was the place was freezing, most kept jackets on & that they automatically add on a service charge which I think should be your choice not the restaurants.

If you would like 5 star food and 5 star service without paying 5 star prices then this is the place to go.

Went to cafe Boheme on a Thursday as the Sidewinder Jazz players were on. Beautiful, delicious food, excellent service, wonderful music and atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Salut, Rod!

Small jazz band with a bass and a sax are adding so much to the atmosphere - perfectly adapted for the place. Went on a Wednesday as well and lousy/noisy "lounge" music is played which made it less enjoyable. The band should be there every day. Food is really good, not too much and wine selection with carafes, avoiding the full bottle that would be too much for 2. Service is fine but I am picky on this matter :-)

Food ok. Service very prompt; almost too prompt and with no character. Cocktails awful; mocktail way too sweet and winter blue cocktail looked like coke with milk run through it; no garnish. Also added 10% to bill for service automatically. Why not just make every thing 10% more expensive on menu; really stupid thing to do; just makes us think, not going back there. Overall pretty disappointed.

Great food relaxed atmosphere, little noisy but otherwise the service was excellent and the dishes were great. Would absolutely go again.

Hidden gem in Aberdeen. Lovely decor and some of the best food we’ve had in Aberdeen!

We had the most amazing food which was beautiful to look at and delicious. The staff were very attentive and looked after us very well. Would recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

Definitely recommend this restaurant. Went with group of friends to the private dining room, which is lovely. The service and food outstanding! Two vegetarians in party and loved their food

Superb food, really pleasant and efficient service. Not cheap but worth every penny

When I had booked our table it was for later on at night but the staff were kindly able to change it to an earlier time. The menu choice was superb including the wine and cocktails. All courses came out in a pleasant waiting time and the atmosphere was cosy and intimate. The pork and sausage dish was so delicious that I brag about it to everyone. Definitely one to visit for a fantastic french culinary experience.

Visited for lunch today, and delicious! The menu is à la carte style with main dishes inclusive of vegetables etc, so NO additional charges, well balanced menu choice throughout and emphasis on local produce. Had the rock turbot in pancetta with very tasty rosti potato, buttered leeks in an excellent shellfish sauce. Superb! The table service was faultless, with a full understanding of the menu, friendly in an unobtrusive manner with good timing. The prices overall were better than in the past and in comparison to other Aberdeen bespoke venues, and felt matched the high quality of food and presentation by the chef and team. Look forward to my next visit!

We had a wonderful experience of cafe Boheme, the staff were so attentive and friendly, food was incredible and so were the cocktails! Would highly recommend!

Once again an amazing meal and a beautiful, inviting restaurant. Went there tonight with my new wife and had such a special night. The fillet was out if this world, the pigeon starter was sublime. The flavours were dancing off the plate. This has to be my favorite place to eat in the city, if you haven't been you need to go here!

Beautiful restaurant and amazing food. Mussels and pigeon to start and rock turbot and duck special for mains. Recommended wine went so well with all our dishes. Staff very polite and attentive. Look forward to returning and trying other dishes

Absolutely fantastic restaurant

Had a steak, it was just perfectly done for me (medium rare).

Wonderful food. Some of the best French cuisine I've had (including in France!).

High quality precise cooking and ingredients. Designed have four courses. Could not fault the food including pigeon, sea bass and turbot. Pleasant service. Not particularly atmospheric. Recommended.

Both the atmosphere and food were spot on. Waitress was very friendly and politely and they offered us a small dessert board for my partner’s birthday, which was the icing on the cake

Tucked away down a side street is a little gem. A very warm welcoming bistro with delicious food and great service. Enough said - go there yourself to see.

Impeccable service, beautiful establishment and most importantly outstanding food.

Had a nice family lunch here. I had the pigeon starter, which was amazing, and the fillet steak for the main, which was cooked exactly medium rare. Everything on the plate came together perfectly.

Living in Aberdeen for two years it was our first time here and we absolutely loved it! The food and drinks were of exceptional composition and well curated, and the place had such a warm contemporary charm to it! Kirsty was our waitress for the night and she was spot on with recommendations and her knowledge of wines was top notch! All the staff were very friendly and warm and everyone made sure we left with smiles. Cafe Boheme is by far the top restaurant in Aberdeen for me that deserves a Michelin star and would highly recommend to anyone visiting or residing to experience it!

Define Class. Me: Cafe Boheme The place has one of the nicest and most authentic vibe of the city. Every item on the menu is tailor made with passion and you can feel it with every bite, me and my friends went on a debate arguing the best dish cause everything tasted so stupendous. Right from cocktails, starters, main course to desserts. Kudos to the Chefs 👏. Michelin Star Standards 🌟 Special mention to the staff, they made our time there exceptional with the brightest of smiles and lovely conversations. Specially Kirsty who took care of us has a great knowledge of the menu and thier Wine collection. On point suggestions. We learnt a lot about the place from Lea, Rykiah and Ellie! Do checkout their wine cave if you are there 👌👌👌

Great atmosphere, food was amazing as it always is. Probably the best starter I've ever had. I still will recommend Cafe Boheme as best value for high quality food in Aberdeen.

Fantastic food and outstanding service in a brilliant setting. We were served by Ellie who was amazing - very hospitable and friendly. Have never tasted food in Aberdeen like it.

French style, local produce transformed into big bold flavours. There were 6 of us and we were all impressed and it’s a definite for repeat visits to work your way through the menu as there was so much good-looking food there. Cocktails and Mocktails went down well, so much that we drank those for most of the night instead of having wine or beer. Staff were superb and there was some good live music that wasn’t overly intrusive. Pricing seemed good, but then I’m comparing to London. Strongly recommended.

Beautiful place, stunning food, amazing staff (Kirsty in particular as she was our waitress but everyone was attentive and very friendly) Will definitely be back ❤️

Went here for the first time last night for my birthday meal - have to say it was the best meal and dining experience I have had! The food was amazing quality and the service was spot on. The atmosphere and the venue was also lovely. I had the trout starter and turbot main, and my partner had the mussels starter and the pork main. We shared a bottle of wine, a cheese selection and two different dessert wines. Would highly recommend.

Really disappointing experience, would avoid. Booked three days in advance and when we showed up were told we couldn’t do a tasting menu because you must book more than one day in advance (which doesn’t make sense as we booked in advance and were not told this ). Menu was really limited they had run out of all fish entrees. French onion soup was 1/10 found onion peels in both orders and we founded an olive pit in the smoked trout order. Three of the mussels were bad as well. Cocktails were delicious and the lamb was quite good. Overall for the price would avoid- didn’t enjoy it.

Always an amazing time eating here, food is incredible, service is 10/10 and nice cosy vibes perfect for a fancy dinner date or birthday meals

Really first class starter, main course of turbot rather overcooked, but still enjoyable. Well worth a visit.

Far and away my favourite restaurant in Aberdeen. Consistently excellent food, service and all round experience

Great place especially in a group

First time eating here and thoroughly enjoyed it. We visited on a Friday evening, the restaurant was busy - a little noisy but had a great buzz about it. Both of us had three courses, all were delicious. Had a lovely bottle of Malbec which was very reasonably priced. Three courses for two people, bread, wine and service charge came to GBP 137, for the quality I feel this is great value.

The food was so disappointing, especially given the price tag. Service was average. We were seated next to a large and extremely loud table despite there being available spaces elsewhere. The mains were sub-standard. I had the pork belly which tasted like a dried rissole whilst my father had the fish which was not particularly appetising. The French onion soup was ok but I’ve had better. The trout starter was delicious however. Desserts delicious (crème brûlée).

Good restaurant. It’s perfect for a date night. The food is sublime and there is a wide selection of wines and spirits. Service is excellent.

Had a lovely late lunch/early dinner to celebrate a friend finishing his PhD thesis. The staff were amazing and helped us celebrate with complementary bubbles in the beginning, and deducted the dessert wines from our bill. We were very touched by this. We ordered starters, mains and coffees with petit fours, all delicious, and a bottle of wine. This continues to be my favourite restaurant for celebrations in Aberdeen. The ambiance and service are exceptional. Thank you!

Good food. Attentive staff. Have been several times over the years and will be back again.

I enjoyed a fantastic birthday dinner at Cafe Boheme last week with really lovely food, a nice Belgian beer and the most amazing crème brûlée to finish off with. The staff were so nice and made my birthday special with the addition of a candle in my dessert ☺️ The menu has a good variety and being vegetarian, I chose the golden beetroot tart which was lovely, especially the smoked walnut vegan cheese that it came with. I would highly recommend Cafe Boheme.

First visit to Cafe Boheme, it definitely won’t be the last. Great ambiance, excellent food, generous portions, very good service and competitive prices. We arrived a little early but were greeted at the bar and were shown to our table which was ready for us. Thursday evening is jazz night and we were pleasantly surprised to find a duo playing live music. We were immediately offered water for the table while we viewed the menu. My wife chose mussels to start, I had a Roquefort crème brûlée. We followed this with lamb and beef mains, and I rounded it off with a wonderful crème brûlée. Everything was beautifully prepared and with just the right pause in between courses. A lovely evening and it certainly won’t be our last visit.

All about this place is top notch. Friendly and attentive staff, the place is comfy, warm ambience, elegant but casual vibe at the same time. And the food is AMAZINGLY GOOD. My wife had the risotto and I got the lamb. Both delicious. One of the gems we discovered in Aberdeen.

Meal was excellent, service superb and atmosphere was great.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food.
