North Pier, Aberdeen
visited 21/3/09
It's been a week or so since I visited this restaurant so my memory may be be slightly hazy. This is a magnificent place to eat: a roundish glass room built on top of the old custom house at the end of a jetty. The tables are grouped round a central bar so everyone gets to sit by the window and watch the ships go by.
It's a fish restaurant and the fish is pretty good and well cooked. They are slightly addicted to weird flavour combinations, however. I rashly had squid with haggis and tomato sauce. The squid was fine but the haggis was a bit wet and turned into a slush with the (not tasting of anything very much) sauce. Much better was a meaty piece of monkfish with chorizo (a similar kind of combination but one that worked). To be fair, my companion had an even odder combination of tartar of salmon and oysters with passion fruit which should have been a disaster but was actually pretty good.
That's all I can remember, but I had a very nice evening in excellent company, so that haggis thing couldn't have been too distracting.
