About The Square

The Square restaurant in Aberdeen, is an informal yet stylish restaurant located in the city's bustling Golden Square. The spacious, café-style dining room is open all day and is perfect for post-shopping coffee and cake with friends, romantic pre-theatre meals or family get-togethers. The service here is super-friendly, and the modern British menu is a fusion of bold flavours. We love the pan-fried scallops flamed in brandy and served with sweet chilli sauce on a bed of crispy Chinese cabbage; the Moroccan salmon served with roasted pepper cous cous served with tomato, onion and coriander chutney, a wedge of lime and vegetables; and the classic Thai green chicken curry.

The Square in Aberdeen was ok but nothing special. The bread was stale and service polite but reserved. Had the Thai Curry which was very tasty and saved the evening.

Service was attentive and the food was very good. The gentleman having the duck said it was cooked to perfection. It was a Monday night so very quiet. Would happily recommend

The Square, Aberdeen is a bit of a Barn of a place that looks like its been converted from a bank. I was surprised how empty it ws at 8pm on a Saturday night but maybe the World cup had something to do with it. Excellent food and quick attentive service made it and enjoyable meal and we will certainly return when we next visit Aberdeen. A starter of juicy seared scallops on mushy peas and black pudding was an excellent starter and the varied main courses we had all went down a treat.
