‘There is something for everyone’
Speaking about the event, cluster interim general manager of Hilton and Aloft Aberdeen TECA Marta Skowron said: “Each property [Hilton and Aloft Aberdeen TECA] offers a very different experience so there is something for everyone.
“The relaxed vibe of Aloft Aberdeen TECA’s stylish WXYZ offers a bar menu that is a fan favourite with burger aficionados.
“Or for a really special treat, the elegant surrounds of our Quarter House Bar and Restaurant in and Hilton Aberdeen TECA serves a seasonal, modern menu which celebrates some of Scotland’s finest local ingredients.
“We are looking forward to welcoming more of the Aberdeenshire community for breakfast, lunch or dinner.”
Adrian Watson, chief executive of Aberdeen Inspired, added: “We hope that by highlighting the vast array of food and drink that the city has to offer that people will choose to come and try it for themselves and take the opportunity to experience everything else our wonderful city has to offer, whether that’s seeing the latest additions to the city centre street art scene, visiting the art gallery or indulging in some retail therapy.
“The variety of price points definitely makes Aberdeen Restaurant Week an attractive option.
“As well as delivering a wide variety of cuisines there is usually something to suit every budget with friends and family being able to get together and eat out for as little as just £10 each.”
