Olive Alexanders
The grand opening of Olive Alexanders in Aberdeen’s Golden Square finally took place this week.

Its vintage style décor looks delightful. Breakfast, lunch and dinner options are all available and definitely book ahead – this will be popular.
Mike’s Famous Fish and Chips
On Muggiemoss Road in Aberdeen, there isn’t just any old chipper. Mike’s Famous Fish and Chips has been an institution here for four decades.
Its haddock suppers are the star of the show, but other delicacies like battered pizza suppers are also worth a bite.
Wash it all down with a glass bottle of Irn Bru for a true Scottish chipper experience.
Rosemount Market
Since opening last year, Rosemount Market has been warmly welcoming Aberdeen visitors to its shop on Rosemount Place.
From local beers to jams and even beautiful flower bouquets, there’s plenty of variety here.
But its bakery options are simply sublime – products from Bandit Bakery, Sourcloud Bakes and Feingeback Pastries are just a few of the Aberdeen delights you’ll find here.
JK Fine Foods
JK Fine Foods on Aberdeen’s Chattan Place is home to a fine array of deli goods. Locally sourced meats, cheeses, table sauces and indulgent chocolates are all at hand.
But you can’t leave here without picking up one of the venue’s individual homemade pies.
Recent mouthwatering creative flavour combinations include these cajun macaroni, fried chicken, bacon and waffle pies.
Almondine
If French style macarons and patisserie are your thing, then Almondine is the perfect spot for you.
This popular venue on Aberdeen’s Chapel Street has been delighting locals for a number of years now with its elegant products that taste as good as they look.
Table bookings are recommended to enjoy the full experience. You won’t regret visiting here.
