Restaurants In Aberdeen

[tup]

Restaurants are for gays.

[Bluto10]

or folk with mates and a social life

[diamondsr4ever]

Aberdeen has some very nice eating houses.....but I tend to do a lot more cooking at hame these days unless I funcy spending a few bob on a decent meal or someone else is paying, canna beat cooking a nice steak at hame I encourage the kids to cook these days also, its the way forward!

[tup]

I know there's posting for a reaction but I believe that tup genuinely believes this.

 

How closeted is the mind who doesn't appreciate the benefits of being served a great meal in excellent surroundings, with friends and/or loved ones?

 

The mind that dwells in a backwater bog, or who resents the price, or who hates himself, that's who.

 

You sound like that patronising poof off Masterchef.

 

Even the name 'restaurant' is totally gay.

 

Give me a bar lunch any day.

[E-P-K]

Aye, but you often find bar lunch food considerably less quality than a bona fide restaurant.

 

Majority of bars that do food in cities now are all owned by a handful of national companies, with the same shit type menu.

[tup]

Aye that's in cities EPK. Easy to find a non conformist bar lunch outwith the city.

 

Dinna get me wrong, I've been in fancy places many a time.

 

Invariably they drip in pretence and serve you much the same shit with fancier names.

 

Its the pretence I dinna like, Ffs its only food you are serving you cunts.

[tup]

I've not been to any in Aberdeen.

 

Cous cous

 

Who in their right mind would ask for that?

 

Even saying or thinking these words constitutes gayness IMO.

 

Restaurant, croissants, cous cous, jus etc

 

I mean come on to fuck. We should listen to ourselves. What conditioned pretence.

[tup]

Or snobbery to put it another way.

 

I'm a hairy arsed Scotsman.

 

I don't eat fucking cous cous.

[Bluto10]

anyone that cant appreciate a fine michellin starred eatery is obviously devoid of standards fit for the 18th century, far less civilised modern day society outwith deepest darkerst glasgow..

[tup]

That's about the 1,000th time you've said that.

 

I'm as down to earth as they come, my feet are on terra firma.

 

Its not life enhancing elixir these places are serving. It's bog standard food.

 

The pretence is what makes the money. Many a fool is reeled in by it.

[tup]

What the fuck is cous cous?

[Bluto10]

Pretence in Morocco, I dinna think so baldy. The place is a smelly dump

[Dynamo]

Did Aperitivo on Friday night. Was decent quality and reasonably priced. Service was quite quick too, which was handy for getting out in time for the Scotland game, wouldn't want to miss that now...

 

Was there on Friday night too. Was alright, would go again.

 

I chose not to bother with the Scotland game

[E-P-K]

Was down in Newcastle for a city break last week for 4 nights, and ate out twice a day, food was overall good, although some place down the Quayside tried to charge me £12 for starter of Scallops, and it was fucking shyte, he was telt, discount applied in kind.

[daytripping]

I don't believe you are for real. You sound like a sitcom from the 70's. Name one restaurant in Aberdeen that you have been to that was dripping in pretence?

 

Only heathens don't put jus jus on their meat and cous cous on their plates.

 

I'm not a fan of cous cous, it doesn't know what it wants to be, give me mash over that crap any day.

There is a new bar recently opened on one of the side streets from Grey Street to Big Market, where the is several small clothes shops, technically a gin bar as had 70 different varieties , but also had over 100 different beers and lagers, fantastic pub, and the Vedett lager on draught was magic.

all in all, newcastle i think would be one of the top cities to live in in the UK.

[Stoney]

Nae sure about living there..........

 

Certainly great for a long weekend but never thought much of the areas outwith the city centre

[tup]

Pleased to meet you sounds like a gay bar.

[Bluto10]

probably cause youve never been to them

[Henry]

Aye, utter faggot name for a bar.

[Bluto10]

Aye, utter faggot name for a bar.

 

that one bar probably stocked more different beers than the entire hovel of an island you live on does.

[Henry]

Possibly Bluto.

 

Still though, what a gay name.

 

Whoever came up with it is likely an utter mincer.

no doubt.

newcastles changed, theyre gentrifying it.

[Stoney]

Played football against most of the schools in the region there.

 

So would say i've seen a fair bit of the area

Was at a wedding in Newcastle in April. Was in a really nice area...north east of the centre. 10 mins in a taxi. Jesmond maybe?

[Stoney]

Jesmonds ok, as too is hexham.

 

Area surrounding Whitley bay is an absolute dump. Our bus was broken into in Wallsend and out kits knicked.

 

Also remember playing a game in gosforth which was a bit wild
