The Foundry

We went to Howie&#39;s with a larger group and had a room to ourselves. The ambiance was amazing. I loved the lighted candles and d&eacute;cor. Really a beautiful place to eat. The food was very good. But the chips were the best we had in Scotland. Also, the waiters were very helpful and friendly. While in Aberdeen, I would really recommend Howie&#39;s. The pictures on the TripAdvisor site do not do it justice.

Popped in on a very wet Wednesday evening, but the place was surprisingly busy. Got a nice cosy table in one of the alcoves, which was very nice. Wife had pork terrine to start followed by the duck, both of which she thought were outstanding. I had the pigeon breast, which was very nice, especially with the cherries on the dish. Didn&#39;t know I liked cherries so much until I ate them! For my main, I had the rib eye. Tasted lovely and I would have knawed at the bone as well if my wife had let me. Only criticism is that there were maybe too many onions on the steak, easily fixed though by moving them to one side. All in all, an excellent meal. We did not stay for dessert as we had to rush to the cinema.

This is hands down our favourite restaurant in Aberdeen. The quality of food is superb and there are always amazing specials. The style of service may take some people by surprise, dishes are brought to the table as they are ready but it is brilliant and perfect for sharing and engaging conversation. It makes for a super relaxed environment ideal for trying new dishes and experiences. If you want a standard, boring three course meal be prepared to open your mind and try something new. The quality speaks for itself.

Dinner with the kids mid week and No 1 was top of the list. Having eaten here many times No 1 never fails to impress. Food is locally sourced, cooked to perfection and served by friendly and helpful staff. From arrival to departure, even with 2 kids, we always felt welcome. The beef shin and risotto is absolutely stunning and the kids devoured the burgers. 2 courses for 3 people and 2 drinks for just over &pound;80.
