Prime Cuts - Steak and Lobster House, The

Aberdeen is the the home of Aberdeen Angus, hence at Prime Cuts you get the very best that they can find, dry aged for a minimum of 28 days; consequently, they state that they don't have steak knives as the meat is so tender and rich that they're not required! Plus they are by the North Sea, where arguably you find the best lobster in the world, put the two together and that's what they do best at Prime Cuts.

Naturally their menu is not exclusively steak and lobster, as Head Chef, Brian Mutch, a local boy, is a wiz at concocting exquisite examples of Scottish cuisine at its best, using venison, pheasant, corn fed local chicken stuffed with haggis, and all this changes regularly to reflect the season.

Put this together in a warm, comfortable environment dominated by terracotta, leather and wood, where they provide unpretentious, yet well appointed, service - you could also have their Wine Steward assist you in choosing wines that will best complement your meal - and then you realise that their simple aim is to give you an unforgettable evening.
