My favourite restaurant in Aberdeen. Independently run in a stylish space on the historic 'Green'. Using local produce and creating delicious combinations. "Now in its 23rd year, its devotees have stepped-up momentum supported by the culinary bold. From a bargain basement beginnings it has elevated as the choice for unpretentious global goodies. Cafe 52 is now a second home for many and a rest assured diner for two. It enjoys favourable reports from the press and a thumbs up from seasoned foodies."
