The food at Rustico is consistently good, something that can't be said for all all restaurants…read more It's Southern Italian/Sicilian so lots of dishes you won't see elsewhere and daily specials. My only criticisms would be thet deserts aren't as great as starters and main courses and service has changed, it used to be a more leisurely dining experience and now you are interrupted a lot and you feel like they are rushing you out.

I was visiting Aberdeen with my Mom and Sister and wanted to take them out for a treat at a…read moreMichelin star restaurant. The presentation and food were fabulous! We start with the baked scallop with cauliflower and basil (extra £5--worth it!) & the mozzarella arancini with tomato vodka sauce and parmesan. Both were so yummy! The scallop was baked into the shell, and I may have made noises while eating everything. The hake was a little bland, as white fish can be, but the eggplant, miso custard, and hazelnut really complemented it causing tasty explosion of flavor. I can't eat a lot of pasta, but I wanted to eat all of my sister's king oyster mushroom ricotta gnocchi with spinach and garlic confit. She took half of it to-go so we could save room for dessert. My mother enjoyed her fillet of beef with caramelised onion and beef shin--she'd never had that before and was very pleasantly surprised! We shared all the deserts--all very delightful, you can't go wrong! The atmosphere is quaint, with the cafe sitting next to a gothic church on a quiet street--even tho it's very close to the City Center. The cafe can fit about 10 tables of 2-4 people...if that. The service was some of the best I found in Scotland. They were attentive, asking how the meal was going and refilling drinks. I believe the US has some high standards of service, and the staff at Moonfish cafe were on top of things!

Was it exceptional? No. In addition, the menu is a tat limited, in starters, but also if you want to stray from pizza and pasta.

lol, we didn't mean to eat "American" but we were hungry and the area smelled good so we walked in…read more From an American - Food is pretty accurate. Big portions.

Maggie's is a perfect American restaurant. Between the extensive menu of southern-American dishes…read more(think gumbo, poutine, fried chicken and more) they pretty much have it all! The staff is welcoming and friendly. And if you love Ranch dressing, it's the only place I've found in Aberdeen that has it, and it's perfect. This cozy, wonderful treat really is the best place around for a good 'ole American meal. Top notch!

Having eaten out for every meal while on our visit to Scotland, and consequently often finding it…read moredifficult to seat our family of 5 at any hour of the day (compared to what we're accustomed to), this was the wholly best meal that we had on vacation here. We came in so near to closing that I felt bad, but the staff welcomed us warmly and we were not rushed in the slightest. Not only did we each order mains, but an appetizer, wine, they graciously brought my younger sons ice cream from the kid menu (well after closing time), and when we were trying to leave they brought espressos with biscotti and insisted we stay. The food was impeccable and authentic, made with love, excellently seasoned and well presented. I truly cannot recommend La Lombarda highly enough.

Quite simply put, La Lombarda is one of the best Italian restaurants in Aberdeen…read more The staff are very friendly and helpful, the food is good quality, freshly cooked and reasonably priced. All pizzas are made fresh on the premesis to order in a proper Italian pizza oven giving them that real authentic taste. To complete the restaurant there's also a room downstairs for private functions and/or their busier times. During the weekend it would definately be advised to book in advance as they can get quite busy. As the restaurant is located on the corner of king street and castle gate, the location couldn't be much better for either grabbing a bite to eat while shopping during the day or having an enjoyable meal with a few pals before a night out.

It was my second time. Consistently, the food was very nice and the service was pleasant…read more VALUE - for Aberdeen probably average SERVICE - attentive ( just the right amount) TIMING - good FOOD - very good ATMOSPHERE - you need to be a fan of darker places (good for romantic dinner but not for business purposes). They were good with kids.

Royal Thai is quite pleasant. The interior is elegant and the service is nice…read more My starter (Tod Mun) was good as was my main course the Cashew Chicken and Vegetable. Also, the rice was done to perfection. I am a little suspicious of any Thai place that doesn't have a lot of bamboo shoots in their dishes but I suspect its a mix of local custom and the fact that this is really sort Thai / Chinese mix of cuisines (lots of duck). Only H2O for me, I'm in detox.

We went to the Silver Darling with four in the evening. The positives remain, a great view with…read moreships passing by and the food quality is excellent. We had great starters, mains and desserts, mainly fish but also the meat dishes are great and the specials are nice as well. We were a bit disappointed by the fact you really have to ask for bread and when it comes it is not a lot with a strange tasting butter. Most unfortunate was that we were forgotten for quite a while before being served. They apologised, but service can be inconsistent.

We blindly booked this based on reviews while we were touring the University…read more Amazing food and service! And can't beat the view. Would go back in a heartbeat!
