Howies doesn't fit into the category of a chain because each of its restaurants has an individualistic style, décor and menu. But the underlying commitment to offering remarkable dishes in a relaxed and casual environment is consistently present in all of them. Howies in Aberdeen is situated just off the famous Union Street, right in the heart of town. Quietly elegant with its deep brown furnishings, this is a classy place where you can take the whole family, including the little ones, for a celebration.

The menu changes monthly and focuses on using local suppliers for all their ingredients. From amongst the starters you could choose terrine of ham shank with red onion marmalade and seasonal leaves followed by a main course of lamb chump with celeriac and mustard mash, honey roasted parsnips and a rich jus. End with the delectable Baileys and pear cheesecake or opt for the selection of Scottish cheeses.
