Calzone Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 My favourite restaraunt in Aberdeen has to be Sai Gon on Crown Terrace, but be warned, it's quite expensive. The only reason I've experienced it is because my Dad has taken me there and got work expenses to pay for it. I'm not sure what the prices are the now, but its somewhere between 20 and 25 pound for the all you can eat menu, which is excellent, because they cook the dishes, not premade like Shitty Chungs. Usually its like a huge starter platter, duck pancakes, then whatever you want from the menu.Another good restaraunt is La Bamba, also on Crown Terrace. Excellent mexican or texan food, and last time I went, a hen night was there and they were dancing on their tables. It had quite an amazing atmosphere at the time. Quite loud though.

kirkt Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I ordered pizza from Piccolo Pizza last night. It was pretty rubbish. Tasted more like what you'd get from a kebab shop than a pizza place...no Snappy Tomato or Dominos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 we went to the cock and bull last night and it was tasty tasty tasty. they seem to have changed their menu a bit since we were last year and went a bit more towards fine dining than amazing pub food, but the prices are still reasonable and the food was awesome.we both went for the wood pigeon to start as neither my wife or I had tried pigeon before. It was ace, full of flavour and complemented nicely with a beetroot carpaccio. I then had the rock turbot with a seafood bisque. It was amazing. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and full of flavour. service was good too, not too fussy but we weren't made to wait at any point and the food was spaced out nicely. they have retained their spot as my favourite place to eat in the north-east.

Richie Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I found the food in Musa was ace - plus they have Bitburger lager on tap which is a nice thing indeed.Generally very happy with a trip to Rustico's or Papagallo's though.

Woodsinho Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 The Manchurian on Causeway near Mounthooly roundabout is an excellent Chinese restaurant. I'd reccomend going at lunch time when the Dim Sum menu is available, it's like the Chinese version of tapas. Prices are pretty good considering the yummy nature of the food and the generous portion sizes for the main dishes - a meal for 2 tends to come to no more than 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I was at the Eagle May on Park Street from a Chinese the other night and it was, as ever, absolutely sublime. I just will not hear a bad word against either of the Eagle May's as I have never had a meal from there that wasn't so good it made me want to get naked and it eat it by candlelight with Barry White playing in the background.

Soda Jerk Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 What's the best place in town for Fish and Chips? The Hilton is my favourite so far. The fish is massive and tastes super fresh. Any other good ones? I'm not too fussed if they make a good macaroni and iron brew pie or deep fried rowies. Just the fish and chips.

Chris Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I just had a solidly decent curry from Westend Tandoori (across from Alpine Bikes). They initially forgot my naan bread, but phoned me 5 minutes later to check and delivered it soon after.Fairly stuffed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 What's wrong with the Ashvale? I've had nothing but good meals there. Plus you get a cup of tea and a slice of loaf if you sit in. Crispy batter, good quality fish. I suppose the chips can be hit or miss but certainly not a bad chipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispy batter, good quality fish. I suppose the chips can be hit or miss but certainly not a bad chipper.The restaurant may be better than the adjoining takeaway, I haven't eaten in for a while. But it really is fucking shit compared to the better chippers in the area. Get a standard haddock supper from the Ashvale, then get one from Hass' , or from The Bay or the Carron in Stoney, compare it to the Ashvale's one and then never return.Last time I went the batter was too thick, it was vastly overcooked (probably because the batter was too thick), dry and the chips were shit. The portion was about 2/3rds the size of Hass' as well for about the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Never heard of this Hass' place (had to resist spelling place with an i there). I'll have to try it one day. I would certainly take an ashvale over most chippers in town. It's certainly not as good as its reputation but it beats most bog standard chippers in town. Everyone knows of course the best fish suppers are found in the smaller towns and villages. The one at the harbour in phd, the Dolphin i think it's called, is tremendous but it's sheen has been tarnished since I found out they don't get their fish right off the boats.
