The best restaurants in North East Scotland

We were recommended to go to Simpson’s by the wonderful staff at Peterhead Prison Museum, who told us they make the best soup there. Cold, hungry and excited at this prospect, we headed to the tearoom. Sadly the soup was off the menu for me, as it was ham & lentil and I’m vegetarian. Disappointing. My cousin enjoyed the soup. Instead, I ordered a cheese and pineapple toastie. I was asked if I wanted the crisps, salad and coleslaw. I politely declined the coleslaw but relished the prospect of the crisps and salad. The toastie was delicious. Imagine my surprise when my salad consisted of a very few bits of chopped iceberg lettuce, ONE slice of cucumber and HALF a cherry tomato! Not only that - just THREE crisps were placed on my plate. I’ve always wondered what happened to that other half a cherry tomato …….

Shambles, don't bother! Was told 45mins, finally got our order 1hour 30mins later after calling twice and being told it was on its way. Food was cold and tasteless, very disappointed!

Amazing food Presentation and taste outstanding Plenty choice for us vegetarians. Staff very welcoming. Well organized and felt very safe Very high standard of food and health and safety to highest degree during this pandemic.

Very good wraps and they don't cost much, also a very wide choice of sandwiches, baguettes, sandwiches and bagels. They also have desserts. You can't sit except for two tables outside and there is no toilet.

We have had many meals here. Sit in and take away. Staff are amazing. The menu has something to suit all including kids. Take away food is equally as good and very good value for money. You get what you pay for. The owner is very passionate about what he does. We have never been anywhere else for Indian food since he took over. 10/10

By far and away the very best Beef Stew I have ever tasted. The decor might be a bit dated, but the food was excellent. The after-dinner coffee was drunk in the lounge, which was decorated in the style of a Scottish country house.

very very tasty tika masala and nann bread and very nice service and a scorching hot chicken korma and rice with it and some lovely plain chips would definitely recommend to everyone.

Visited Mrs Smith’s today at lunch time having walked from Methlick. The 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed lattes with the Angus beef and caramelised onion baguettes with a latte. Can highly recommend, and very reasonably priced. We’ll definitely be back.

New location on Union Street has facilities for hotpot, which is great for families and get togethers. Have been hoping that Aberdeen would get a hotpot restaurant as my family really enjoys it! We had the set combo C, which was perfect for three of us at lunch with some extra noodles (marketed as a set meal for 2 and I can imagine it’d be great for dinner!) - it had a great selection of meats to try and LOADS of vegetables. The service was excellent and the owner remembered my face from visiting months ago, which made us feel very valued! Highly recommend - sadly forgot to take photos as we were too busy eating!

No complaints. Good quality food. Good service. Place itself a bit bland/ dull but the food, chicken/prawns/ sauces/ nans/ rice all good.

I highly recommend the nail services offered at Bangkok Palace (BIAB, extensions, gel and acrylic, regular manicures). Eve is very professional and great at what she does! She’s incredibly attentive and accommodating and always does my nails are exactly how I’d like. The salon itself is very cosy and homely, and the prices are very reasonable

Fabulous lunch break! We stumbled upon Dunes and what a find! The staff are great, the view is lovely and the food is super fresh and generously portioned.

This is our favourite Aberdeen sushi place! Always good food, excellent sushi and ramen. The staff is always helpful and polite.

The best takeaway around - food is great quality and tastes perfect! Atmosphere is great and the food is to die for!! Highly recommend.

I moved down to Aberdeen about 3 years ago. It took me a while to find a Chinese for my liking. I would recommend this Chinese to most folk but the only down fall is it is only cash only.
