The best restaurants in North East Scotland

I think this is about the best cooked breakfast I have had in Aberdeen. Mostly, I am disappointed with most cafe breakfasts. Either small portions, no veg (mushrooms and tomatoes). I sometimes order veggie breakfasts and they are usually diabolical based around some cremated cheap veggie sausage and one lone mushroom at a high cost. Well, this definitely wasn't the case here. We had a full breakfast for £11 and the full veggie (with the veggie lorne sausage substituted for bacon (not a veggie but like veg). Portions were generous, beans, hash browns, loads of mushrooms, 2 halves of tomato, toast, egg, tattie scone, avocado two slices of bacon (plus black pudding, sausage and bacon on the other one) Seriously, this is the only place that can make a decent full breakfast that I have set foot in Aberdeen. Plenty of other stuff on the menu too, and the coffee was good.

Don't go here. I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala. What they served was a weird magenta colored soup, very sweet, with chicken chunks in it. Not sure what it was except awful. Also, we ordered a couple of prosecco cocktails which were warm. Eat a ready made sandwich from the grocer.

Just to let you know I'm a chef but the food is very good 👍

We haven’t been to the Palace for a meal for nearly a year and decided to go this evening. We had the front room to ourselves. The lady that served us was really nice and helpful. Food was lovely. All of us thoroughly enjoyed it and was worth every penny. Fully COVID compliant!

My husband and I paid a visit to our favourite local restaurant tonight and as usual we were not disappointed. Even though it was very busy Dhruba the proprietor squeezed us in and gave us a lovely welcome. Usually we order from the extensive menu but we decided to try the buffet for a change. It was fantastic from start to finish. Our very attentive waitress brought us our wine and after a few minutes she informed us that the freshly cooked starters were ready. We had a huge choice including poppadoms with numerous dips. So yummy ! We had to remind ourselves that this was not the main part of the meal. My husband ordered a cheese naan and once it arrived at our table we returned to the buffet for our main course. What to choose ? There were a selection of 9 different curries ranging from mild to medium/ hot. Something for everyone. I think I tried 6 but had no room for anymore. All were exceptional. Loved them all. Included in the buffet price is 2 scoops of ice cream which was very welcome and slid down very well after after a lovely spicy meal. I can’t recommend the 4 Cs highly enough. We love it.

As it is named, the firepit, you expect some decent Meat from a bbq to be served. No steaks, but a good burger can solve the problem, so their best "the smoke and soul", Meat served on a soft role,clearly not from a bbq fire , not a piece of salad , onion or tomaten, but i must admit crispy Fries. As that is their best seller, then the expectations of clients are low. Next time it is back to the old Brown pub with the traditional pub meals.

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!

I love this place and the staff. My dog and I always receive a friendly welcome. The food is fresh and prepared on request and tasty. It is in a lovely setting.

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

After being awake from 2am, catching a taxi at 3 am and flying from Malaga at 5am, we arrived in Aberdeen Airport at 8.30am. We had no chance to grab anything to eat as time was limited for a rail connection in mid-morning. We were delighted to discover Cafe 31 which is to be found adjacent to the Railway Station and its location gave us time to grab a quick breakfast. This is a nice wee cafe with all the usual breakfast and light lunch options. Prices were reasonable, and service was quick and friendly. A very enjoyable breakfast

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.
