Promenade Cafe in Aberdeen City

Excellent food. Staff very attentive and friendly. The location themed on old department store.

We stayed at 8 different hotels and guest houses during our last 2-week visit to Scotland. Unfortunately, this was our least favorite. We liked that there is plenty of onsite parking, restaurant, and bar. Check-in was quick; but the layout has you walking through the bar and restaurant to get to the check-in desk. Rather awkward for those walking through; and mildly distracting for those enjoying a drink or meal. The room itself was spacious and I liked the trouser press. However, signage in the room requests you keep the bathroom door closed when showering to prevent the fire alarm from going off. This turns the bathroom literally into a steam room. Everything; and I mean everything gets wet/damp, and stays that way. The hallways are very narrow and have a moldy smell. The bar downstairs is well stocked; but the bartenders are unable to mix a drink. I don't mean they lack the skills - but refuse. I love a good Scotch; but my wife occasionally prefers a mixed cocktail. Not possible here.

Lovely lunch, been a few times now. Staff are lovely, friendly and can't do enough for you. Food is very good and reasonably priced.

Had the vegan full breakfast, probably don't need to eat for the rest of the day now! Really really delicious.

Great cocktail making by Murray! Would recommend!
