The restaurant market in Aberdeen

Aberdeen's food scene is anchored by its exceptional access to some of Scotland's finest natural ingredients — North Sea fish landed daily at the harbour, Aberdeenshire beef regarded as among the best in the world, and soft fruits from the surrounding hinterland. The city's Union Street corridor and the developing waterfront area house the majority of its restaurants, with a growing number of independent operators challenging the city's historical dependence on chain dining. The oil and gas industry has historically supported a well-paid professional dining audience with high standards and international tastes, making Aberdeen a surprisingly cosmopolitan food destination for its size.
