Highyl recommmended private kitchen.This place was recommended by a friend and sold partly on the "no corkage" policy. Not very salubrious location in a warehouse in Aberdeen so you have to be intending to find it but that makes it quite a "find" which is fun. Dining room large enough for about 30, a little noisy when we went as it was full, but just enough to be atmosphere without being too irritating. Eddy is the chef, on site for every meal, runs the open kitchen you can see from the dinin
This place was recommended by a friend and sold partly on the "no corkage" policy. Not very salubrious location in a warehouse in Aberdeen so you have to be intending to find it but that makes it quite a "find" which is fun. Dining room large enough for about 30, a little noisy when we went as it was full, but just enough to be atmosphere without being too irritating. Eddy is the chef, on site for every meal, runs the open kitchen you can see from the dining room. Eddy came out and walked us through the menu, where the ingredients are from (he sources locally where he can and uses seasonal produce) and managed to up sell to us truffle egg starter - see below. Personal touch much appreciated.
There is a set tasting menu for each evening. We had (i) scrambled egg and truffle (excellent - very very generous white truffle serving which we paid extra for); (ii) sushi scallop and sea urchin salad (very fresh ingredients, used Hokkaido sea urchin) which was finely balanced, tasty; (iii) cappuccino of seasonal vegetables which looked and tasted great; (iv) mussel and white wine broth which was long cooked and tasty (Eddy swapped one to a sous-vide cooked salmon on request due to an allergy one of us had and the salmon was beautiful, probably better than the mussels to the chagrin of the mussel-friendly crowd!); (v) beef tenderloin, foie gras, cooked to perfection, just beautiful tender meat; and a dessert which totally escapes me but was good. I suspect we had had too much wine by this point to fully appreciate it (or remember it).
Overall, great food every course, no let downs. Service good all the way, and the no-corkage means it is a wine-heaven to eat out. Most other tables had bottles and bottles lined up. The card machine was down the night we were there but luckily we had cash galore on hand, probably worth taking enough just in case.
Well worth the trip to Aberdeen, and take LOTS of your own wine. We budgeted a bottle a head. Venue works best for parties of 6-10. Not sure how often the menu changes so worth checking before going for a second time.
