About Bistro Verde

Customer Review Summary

Cullen Skink is the dish diners return to most, called fab and a meal in itself, though one wished for bread and butter alongside. Halibut comes close behind, described by two reviewers as cooked to perfection. The seared scallops with romesco, seabass, trout and mussels in Gochujang sauce also earn praise. Oysters split opinion: one diner found them very good, another found them not salty at all. Staff are repeatedly called lovely and attentive, and the cosy room fills quickly, with one reviewer urging others to book in advance. A few note it is not the cheapest but say the quality justifies it. The complaints are specific. One party said two servers were swamped making drinks, taking orders and carrying food, so they waited for the check after finishing and skipped dessert. Another called the food not great, finding the chanterelle toast oily and the mussels disappointing, and the waitress took the mussels back without charging for them.

    “Excellent meal , wonderful service and a cosy intimate setting made this a perfect date night meal. The welcome was professional and friendly and the food arrived quickly after ordering, we both went for the Cullen Skink which was fab and then I went for the mussels in Gochujang sauce which were innovative and excellent , This has made us realise we have missed out on a lot of truly excellent local places due to the general tiredness of Central Aberdeen and we aim to rectify these missing restaurants soon , The Bistro gets a huge thumbs up , tres bon .”

    “Great Scottish menu with delicious Cullen Skink and seafood and lamb options. They offered many gluten free items on the menu”

    “I town for the weekend before a wedding. Found this spot based on a Google search for seafood. Soooo glad we came. Delicious food and lovely wait staff. It is a bit more costly than your pub food, but well worth it for a nice seafood meal.”
  • Dinara Murzagaliyeva
    “Great service and the place in nice and cosy, however the food wasn’t great, maybe we were unlucky. Chanterelle mushrooms on toast was ok, a bit too much oil, I’d rather it was butter or cream. Oysters tasted a bit strange, not salty at all, i had to sprinkle some salt on them, wasn’t very enjoyable. The mussels were disappointing, soon as we opened the lid and smell was unpleasant, i still tried one and it tasted really bad. We thought mussels may have probably gone off or something. The waitress took them back and we were not charged for them. Cullen skink was good, could do with bread and butter. Overall, not impressed.”
  • Michelle Joseph
    “The food was excellent and top notch. The place was hopping with people so we were glad we got there early. We noticed the two severs were swamped trying to get out of food, take orders, and make drinks. This really slowed service down. 15 minutes after we finished our meal we had to ask for the check. We had wanted to order dessert but didn't want to just keep waiting. We asked for the check. 10 minutes later we got up to pay at the counter but they insisted they would come to the table. Our great meal was soured by the staff being over extended.”
