Daily Dose Cafe and Dessert Shop in Aberdeen City

Sadly, we were a bit disappointed by our time here. Spent a fair amount of time picking a place for our few hours on a Sunday in Aberdeen, and decided to come here for their Sunday Roast offering. First off, service wasn't the greatest. It didn't *seem* to be short staffed (though it's impossible for me to know), but maybe moreso disorganized operations? Ordered a couple of cocktails, and those came out quick and we're very good. The buffet had a nice selection, but definitely did not get much attention, and the quality of the different items varied quite a bit (the tomato basil soup just tasted like pasta sauce?) We both ordered the beef main, and this was the most disappointing part. Two super thin slices of beef, veggies and potatoes that seemed like they were cooked hours prior and just kept warm (think hard-sticky on glazed root veggies), and the Yorkshire pudding dense and tough. Gravy was good, at least! Maybe it was just a one-off experience, but sadly we'll probably avoid other Malmaison restaurants for awhile.

Fui a una cena sorpresa de cumpleaños con chicas del trabajo, era la primera vez que iba a este restaurante y definitivamente no volveré. Este era el pollo que tenía en mi ensalada. Como se puede ver muy poco y extremadamente seco. 95 por 2 platos de comida. Qué desperdicio de dinero. Todos los que comieron la ensalada tuvieron la misma experiencia, una de las chicas comió ensalada halloumi y tenía 3 trozos pequeños en la suya. Parecía que había sobras del día anterior.

I thought it was a brilliant idea, so joined the queue and wanted to give everything in my wallet to support this cause. - over £85 just for a coffee. But I was refused! The girl packing food bags said ‘they were closed to customers during handouts’ I tried to say I wanted to support them, but no. I was turned away. Ok. I run a Charity. (SC050679), and know good funding streams, and am an elected councillor, so I will wait till they fail, then do better. Big Mistake.

La comida decepcionante del almuerzo se veía bien, pero carecía de sabor y sobreprecio. Falta de servicio y presentación y muy poca interacción del personal. Cubertería apareció gruñona

Popped in today for a takeaway lunch and opted for the carrot and coriander soup and a smoked salmon bagel. Both absolutely delicious and well presented and the bagel had some yummy nice quality crisps on the side. Staff friendly. I will definitely return!
