Howies - Glasses - British Near Me - Aberdeen, ABE

Nice place, good food, good ambiance. Service is good, waiters and waitresses are friendly and professional. May not be the best food I had, but it's pretty close (counting Scottish food only, I haven't tried the steaks) Price is fair, maybe a bit expensive to be a regular, but not overpriced. Good for dates or family outings. Definitely recommend the place read more

My good friend brought me here during my visit to Aberdeen, as I'd been advised to try a nice Angus steak while in Scotland. Howie's didn't disappoint! We started off with the bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, mixed olives, and hummus. She also ordered the Cullen skink for her little man, but he wasn't interested, so she had some, and I had the rest. It's DELICIOUS! It reminds me a bit of the fish stew that my dad makes. A taste of Nigeria in Scotland, perhaps? Who knew?! For the main course, we both had the medium well filet (I had it with the chips, my friend got the mashed potatoes). (Pic included). Absolutely wonderful! Everything was scrumptious, and I made sure to save room for dessert. Three words: sticky toffee pudding. Holy moly, that was AMAZING, and I'm a little embarrassed that I inhaled it before I had a chance to take a picture! Oh, well. Service was very courteous, but it took a while to get our food orders. The food was worth the wait! I'd go back. :) read more

Great Haggis, stopped by as I was in the area. Great food great service. nice place read more

AWESOME! Service is great, the atmosphere is lovely, and the food is so delicious. We went for the early dinner special which is a great deal. I had salmon and my date had lamb, both were especially tasty and plated well. The dessert did not disappoint either. Sticky toffee pudding and frangipane tart! We'll be back! read more

Ate dinner with a large group in a private room. Food was fancy and delicious, even the meat AND vegetarian haggis. Portion sizes were maybe a little uneven--I was still quite hungry after my risotto, but looking around the room, no one who got the burger with chips finished their meal. Desserts were nice and light for the summer time. Wait staff did a remarkably good job for the number of us. Biggest downside was that there was nothing in the room to absorb the sound of us, so it was very loud. read more

The staff was lovely...courteous without being intrusive. The food was very good, maybe a bit bland to our American taste but easily remedied with a little salt. I appreciated the fact that the food didn't get to us over seasoned...you can always add but not take away. We both had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert and enjoyed it immensely. Id recommend reservations (especially during the week), that seems to be the norm in Aberdeen. read more

Considering that I was pretty excited to come here after looking through their menu, it turned out to be sub par. My mother in law's potatoes were not fully cooked, and she asked the waitress to bring her a new dish. Well the waitress gave her attitude and made it VERY apparent that it was a bother to redo the potatoes. Instead of apologizing for the raw side of potatoes, she offered chips instead. Really? Instead of just LISTENING to your paying customers and considering their needs, you offer the lazy option! I felt so bad for my mother in law, I ended up just giving her half of my plate to compensate their lack of service. I wouldn't recommend coming here for a meal. read more

We attened for a works christmas lunch. You normally expect a pre plated luke warm meal from other event of mass attendance. This is not the case beautiful food, great atmosphere, service was swift. Lamb was falling off the bone superb presentation, devine. I will be visiting here again with the good lady indoors. read more

Howies Restaurant is on Chapel Street in Aberdeen and is part of a small Scottish chain of restaurants. It is a popular restaurant and can get busym, so advisable to book in advance. The restaurant is comfortable and quite big with a nice bar area and some comfy seats when you go in where you can wait for friends. There is also 2 private rooms which are really nice. The food is Scottish food with a bit of a twist, they say that they use local suppliers and free range eggs etc. which is a good touch. The prices are mid range (about £10 - £15 for a main) although the great thing is that they do really good deals, 2 courses for about £12 - £13 as an early evening menu and the same at lunchtime. Also make sure to check their website before you go as they often have deals available and vouchers you can print off. Parking is available on the street outside but you may have to pay and might have to drive around a couple fo times! However, it is not far off Union Street so you can get the bus and enjoy from their extensive wine list! read more

The food here is delicious, service was slow and not the best, but the food more than made up for it, as did the delicious deserts!! Will be back, but its a shame to find yet another place in Aberdeen lacking in customer service - seems to be a trend up here read more

I grew up in the north of Scotland and quite often on family events we would go through to Aberdeen and pay a visit to Howies. As far as I know it's a chain and there may be a couple of other restaurants in Scotland. This place is idea for families because the prices are very reasonable and they cater for children. The restaurant itself is quite big and can cater for a lot, they will do smaller portions for children, of you can have a starter for a main meal if you are not to hunger. The service was always prompt and fast and the staffs were always polite and friendly. I can't tell you about the drink though because I was 16 when I went here last, my friend still me it is still as good as ever though read more
