Located very near the west end of Union Street, this delicatessen stocks lots of deli-type foods…read morefrom oils to biscuits, to cold meats and pates. If you are looking for something of high quality or just something extra-ordinary that you won't find in the shops, this is your place. I have visited here for my lunch on many occasions. THey always have a takeaway menu with usually a 2 or 3 of sandwiches or paninis (one veg). Salad boxes, quiches and a soup. I think the owner and some (if not all) of the staff are French. Therefore the food menu reflects this. My fave sandwich is a pate (pheasant I think), with onion marmalade and green salad hoagie. I have also had the most amazing beef panini a couple of times from here too. The prices are excellent for the quality of ingredients. The food is made up fresh just before lunch, try it!!

Took the family - all five of us - to this tiny restaurant on Rosemount Place for dinner last…read morenight and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were greeted by the Italian owner and I felt a bit guilty as he asked a couple who had finished their meal if they were ready to leave in order to seat us. The owner - who in his authentic accent corrected our poor attempts at Italian while ordering - was friendly and took our starters order first. Garlic bread, bruschetta, melon with Italian ham, and Caprese salad were all good - the girls especially loved the garlic bread. The wine by the glass he told us was San Genovese and was As the restaurant name tells you, the main course is pasta - he had many specials in addition to the regular menu items. We each had a plate of penne pasta with a different topping. The Marinara had clams and prawns, my Rustica had eggplant and anchovies, my wife's Alfredo was cream based with ham delight, and the girls had simple pastas with fresh Italian sausage. The owners son, was the cook and he did a nice job in his closet sized kitchen we could see from our table. The desserts were also good, lemoncello, cannelloni, and a chocolate ice cream with hazel nuts that was excellent. Give this little restaurant a try when you are looking for a nice plate of pasta in a friendly - but small - place.

The reason for buying whisky from Nick, the owner, is Nick. Nick Sullivan is a people person. Yes,…read morehe has, he likes to say, about a 1000 different whiskys to choose from in his storefront. But this is a place one visits in an area where it is quite easy to be overwhelmed by choice. Nick is knowledgable, and he will spend time educating you so you can make an informed decision. And shops like Nick's often are the fortunate recipients of whisky vendors supplying him with exceptional ,hard to find (for a visitor to Aberdeen that is) whisky. Yes, he is in business to make a profit; however, when a man like Nick tells you, "this is the whisky my girlfreind and I were drinlking Christmas Day", you listen. And then buy. For it's not the price (super reasonable) but the fact that you feel you can trust his word. It's not only the age of the whisky, but all the other details that go into making a sublime malt drink ever more so. Thank you Nick. If you live nearby, I can't recommend Nick enough. If you are just visiting, like myself, it;s worth the time to drop in and say hi. For those looking for price as the main consideration, you can shop all you want. But you'll be missing the best reason to stop in at Nick's store: Nick himself. A true Aberdeen treasure.

This is, as far as I know, the only independent whisky shop in Aberdeen…read more It's a small shop, filled to the brim with enticing looking whisky. Nick, the owner, is a knowledgeable guy, and normally has a half dozen or so bottles open for you to taste, with dedicated tastings on Saturdays. He also stocks a variety of other spirits, which look pretty impressive. There's something at every price point, from entry level bottles all the way up to rarities costing several hundred pounds. Things can be sourced if not in the shop, as I understand it. Price-wise, an independent shop can't hope to beat the big supermarkets when they put a bottle of scotch on offer, but it certainly compares favourably to un-reduced bottles. A few minutes in here will really broaden your horizons, and you'll probably leave with a new bottle of something a bit esoteric. Cheers!

Lovely new store, good layout and helpful friendly staff, BUT the petrol station is another story!!…read moreWhen they give you a voucher for money off your fuel, you have to leave the store, drive to the petrol, fill up, get a receipt (as unmanned) return to the store, park, go and queue at Customer services, to get your few pence discount, not worth the hassle. The Air line is a rip off, limited time, and so slow, so money runs out before it has even filled the tyre, so you keep putting more money in.
