The Marcliffe

Reviewed By JoH656 - Scotland, United Kingdom

A group of us went here on Saturday evening for a birthday meal, including my 9 year old son. The staff were very friendly, incredibly welcoming and this made such a difference. There was no waiting around, the service was impeccable. The food was amazing too! Being able to relax by the fire after dinner was lovely. Cant wait to return again soon.

Cafe Boheme

Tucked away down a lane in Aberdeen's city Centre, Cafe Boheme is a small, intimate restaurant, bridging the world between modern and traditional French cuisine, with a twist of individuality and passion. Originally from Provence, Dominique has been enthusing Aberdeen with his passion for tantalising food for 30 years. He has created a family run restaurant, with cosy atmosphere and has a long running relationship with his staff and customers.

Reviewed By Elle M - Aberdeen, United Kingdom

We had lunch here on a vile day, and the restaurant was warm, welcoming, and moderately busy given it was a weekday in poor weather. The lunch menu, at £10 for starter and main, is excellent value, with nicely sized portions and delicious options. Wine prices reflect the a la carte menu, which is rather pricier, but weren't ridiculous.
Service was a little on the slow side, but this may have been down to the extremely poor weather - they did seem a little understaffed.

Borsalino Restaurant

Reviewed By sdg111 - Aberdeen, United Kingdom

This is our favourite Italian in Aberdeen albeit we haven't been that often of late.
We returned for lunch on a cold and snowy Sunday. We were seated at our favourite table without even having to ask, a nice touch.
The cream of mushroom soup was delicious, with a very generous amount of tasty sliced muchrooms. My partner had the duck and chicken liver pate which she described as smooth and rich.
Mains were spaghetti carbonara and the meatballs in a rich tomato sauce on a bed of spaghetti. Both were again delicious.
After a short break we shared the ice cream dessert.
This restaurant never disappoints. It's got a lovely ambience, the food and wine are always superb and the staff are attentive without being intrusive.
We had left it too long since our last visit, and having been disappointed elsewhere, will be returning for a dinner date in the very near future.

Went for a meal with my partner on a monday night. The service we got on arrival was great, very welcoming. The bottle of wine we ordered was lovely.
we shared the vegetarian platter to start which was great. I had the garlic chilli chicken, with pilau rice and peshwari naan which was recommended by the waiter, and i was not disappointed, and my partner had the tandoori seabass which was so gorgeous.
I used to always go to Monsoona for a curry and now i remember why!!

Daughter, mum and dad visited this excellent restaurant for a lunchtime booking. The popularity of Amore was evident as it was almost full !! Calamari and Bruschetta was followed by pizzas and seafood linguine. Full marks yet again for Mossy and Hassan.

Shawarma

Reviewed By scott m

Met up with a group of friends travelling into Aberdeen fancied something different to the ubiquitous curry in town.
Plenty of parking in the area and while it looks nothing special from the outside the restaurant at the back was great.
Great selection of starters, mains and Deserts that was easy to choose and on the pocket. Staff were very helpful and accommodating.
If going and you fancy a drink just take a few beers or bottle with you.

Found this restaurant by chance while walking around Aberdeen with my Daughter. We both love Asian food and this restaurant did not disappoint. Service was fast and efficient and the food wonderful. Daughter had Suki Yaki and I had the Thai Egg Noodle with Seafood. This is a restaurant we will definitely visit again.
