Aberdeen, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

This “small restaurant with lovely fresh fish” has clocked up 21 years in Aberdeen’s medieval Merchants’ Quarter, opposite the Kirk of St Nicholas. Chef and co-owner Brian Mcleish has been at the helm for more than a decade, delivering “beautifully served” dishes (including a decent range of meat-based options). There’s a focus on organic and biodynamic wines, plus a good selection of gins at the bar (and yes, we’re in Scotland).
