Our Guestbook
“ The Moonfish Cafe was a excellent introduction to fine dining in Aberdeen. We didn't make a reservation but just added our name to the wait list. We had a 30 min wait and walked over to a pub down the street. The wait was well worth it. The menu was refreshing in that there weren't too many choices and they change often. This type of menu tells you the restaurant concentrates on putting forth high quality food with every meal. I started with the Rarebit appetizer, my main was a filet of beef, and I finished with a cheese plate. The attention to details with every dish was wonderful. Overall, our meal was excellent! We even spent some time talking to Brian, the owner, and he was very hospitable and friendly. Thank you Brian and Moonfish cafe for the wonderful meal! ”
“ Another delightful lunch here at Moonfish. The food is just as good, and the menu is as interesting as ever. The staff are great, easily and enthusiastically answer questions about the food and take an interest in what we think. Food arrives beautifully presented. This is a popular small Bistro and making a reservation is recommended. The lunchtime helpings are just right for a midday meal. Thanks to everyone at Moonfish, and a special thanks to the chef for creating such a great menu! Well done ”
“ The food was spot on! The ingredients, presentation and more importantly the taste was spectacular. Would definitely visit again. It's a very quaint place, very simple and accommodating. We had the oysters, the hake, and the leek dish. The desert was dark chocolate with the salted caramel - absolutely divine! ”
“ Haven't been to the Moonfish in some time but was delighted to be back for lunch. The set menu was great and the food and service was excellent. The meal was rounded off with the most amazing desert I have had in years, almost ordered another! Only drawback is that it's always busy and difficult to get a table.. Reservations ahead of time are a must... I need to be more organised! ”
“ If I were bold enough, I would have asked to meet the chef and thank him personally. ”
“ Magnificent. One of my favourite restaurants in Aberdeen. I had preconceptions before going that the food would be tiny portions and I hoped it wouldn't be overrated. The menu was well thought out, fresh and cooked impeccably. I believe the owner was a finalist on MasterChef and the quality of cooking shows. I'm already looking forward to the next time I come here! Edit: Another trip, this time we had complications with our party being unable to attend and Moonfish were excellent at working around us. The food as ever was exquisite and I still think this is the best restaurant in Aberdeen . ”
“ We went in for the 4 course taster menu through itison. 75 well spent. The food was fantastic, each course was superb, the paired cocktail was nice too. The staff were lovely, very friendly and attentive but no over bearing. The only down side was it could have been warmer in the restaurant.... that said it was probably about 0C outside so its understandable ”
“ Absolutely outstanding Some of the most delicious food I've ever tasted. Highlights were the scallops and monkfish! Can't wait to go back. Fantastic service, choice, flavours and atmosphere ”
