From toasties to burritos, there are so many great places in Aberdeen to grab lunch.
Here are some of the best places to visit on your lunch break, or for a treat at the weekend.
Fable
This café, from the couple who run The Roost, serves up a different lunch menu every few weeks, so you’ll never get fed up of eating the same thing.
At the moment, they are serving up a cheese and onion toastie and a Reuben sandwich.
Plus delicious cakes from baker Just One More.
Eve and Ewan Morrison opened Fable at the end of last year, and have been delighting customers ever since.
The café name conjures up ideas of fairy tales – and the décor in there is exactly how you would expect.
There are fairy lights and books aplenty, as well as walls painted a lovely shade of dark green that makes the entire place feel cosy.
