The best restaurants serving British food in Bridge of Don Aberdeen City North East Scotland

We had a fantastic family lunch at Black Dog last week! The restaurant is located on the Bridge of Don in Aberdeen, the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I had the chicken tikka masala with nan bread and rice 🍚, and it was one of the best Indian meals I've ever had. My kids ordered chicken burgers 🍔 and nuggets, and they were equally impressed. If you're looking for a great place to eat in Aberdeen, I highly recommend Black Dog!

My husband and I went for a meal on Friday evening with our daughter, son in law and baby grandson. We ate from the Festive Menu. My husband and I had lPrawn Cocktail" as starters. This consisted of 3-4 tiny, white looking prawns, some limp lettuce, a couple of spoonfuls of tasteless sauce and a half slice of very cheap white bread - despite the menu describing the bread as "multigrain farmhouse bread". It was, quite frankly, appalling. Our daughter's "Chicken Gift Stack Burger" - described as two Southern fried chicken breasts drizzled with cranberry sauce and crowned with a Mozzarella & Camembert cheese bite and a hand rolled pig in blanket, was actually a tired looking bun with two very burnt chicken goujons and a handful of soggy chips. I felt really disappointed for her. Festive? I don't think so! I doubt we'll be back.

Round of applause to each member of staff on duty this evening whether you served us or not. We had a fantastic experience!!!! We booked a table for 4pm for 4 adults and a baby. We arrived slightly early and needed to go in to use the baby change facilities (slight maze of stairs to get to but didn't personally cause me any upset). I noticed that the staff member coming to attend to us had been sitting eating a meal, possibly on a break. However, was very prompt in coming over. We were greeted warmly and offered a choice of tables. We chose to sit in the bar. The server ( I think was the manager) provided us with a highchair and explained how ordering worked. I went to the bar to place the order of 2 soft drinks, 1 large wine, a 0% beer, and 4 main meals - totalling around £65. The staff member (manager) was chatty and had a bit of banter. Offered us extras and checked for allergies straight away (which we had but weren't an issue). Our drinks were served straight away, and our meals arrived hot and tasty not long after. We had 2 x smothered platter, fish and chips, and a cheeseburger. Every one of us cleared our plates and enjoyed every morsel. They were genuinely delicious. We also enjoyed some lovely warm apple pies and a knickerbocker glory. As we were leaving I approached the staff to leave a tip and thank them for a great visit and they all seemed extremely grateful that I had so I just want to reiterate that we really did and they deserve the praise. I would also like to point out that the menu in this establishment is VERY ASN friendly. One of our party is deaf and usually just has something straightforward and familiar when out for a meal as reading a menu can be difficult, however this one is laden with pictures of many different choices and this allowed him to have something he maybe wouldn't have chosen had we gone to a usual haunt. The (manager) staff member even gave him his own personal menu to take home as a wee souvenir. The only tiny tiny fault was the car park. I still have no idea if I was parked in an actual space as the lines are very very faint. But no biggie Again thank you very much we will definitely return.
