BioCafe

Healthy salad dish at BioCafe.

BioCafe on Aberdeen’s Rosemount Viaduct is brimming with good vibes and bright personality – and it recently just celebrated its third birthday.

Its food is just as colourful, with plant-based ingredients at the heart of its healthy and tasty dishes. Acai smoothie bowls are a game-changing breakfast option while popular favourites like the kimchi burger and homemade vegan bakes are must-haves.

Humbug

Humbug sweet shop.

If you fancy treating the kids this weekend, or would like a nostalgic trip down memory lane, Humbug sweet shop on Aberdeen’s Rosemount Place might just be for you.

Of course, there’s the retro pick and mix options. But there’s also a luxury range of high-quality chocolates, fudge, marzipan and ice cream to suit all tastes. A feast for the eyes and the belly!

Chaophraya Aberdeen

Chicken red Thai curry and steamed noodles at Chaophraya.

Chaophraya on Aberdeen’s Union Street is a favourite Thai restaurant among Granite City locals. As well as setting up cooking masterclasses for budding chefs, diners can enjoy Thai cuisine where presentation is just as important as taste.

Seasonal specials like the Panang beef rib are worth a look-in, but vegan dishes and desserts are also at hand.
