Cafe 52 in Aberdeen City

The place itself is nice, but I was upset today. My friend and I went there, and there was a choice in the menu called platter for 2 without describing what is that. We asked the waiter, and he said it's a meat plate. We asked him if it has a pork because we didn't want that. He replied that he will check. Later, he came with a platter that has onion cooked in different ways with other vegetables and a small piece of cheese. There was no meat. There was raw fish and tuna that we don't like. We told him that you don't tell us that it will be fish, but he didn't even apologise. We paid for food that we could not eat.

Great food, lovely and friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Has a great vibe and a little quirky. Will definately being going back A real little gem of a place.

Amazing service! Dog friendly! Staff came out with treats for my dog. Loved the décor... Best secret "hole in the wall" for a special date 🙂

Came here with the family for lunch and was so disappointed.The staff were semi friendly but our main waitress (who was blonde) was so rude and had a terrible attitude. In the end she tried to debate the optional service charge that we asked to take off and gave a negative reaction which absolutely solidified my decision to take off service charge. the overall service was also slow. There wasn’t even many tables when we arrived. The music was also so loud I felt like I was in a night club.The starters were okay, the Cullen skink was watered down though and small portioned.The mains took ages and when they arrived the beef bourgouin was so dry and sour. The Brussels sprouts veggie dish was also half charred… The dessert was pretty disappointing too. The pistachio and rose water cake was okay but was definitely microwaved so part of the cake was almost chewy and hard… and the eastern mess had hard bits of meringue.honestly I expected so much more from this place, I’m so disappointed

The outside sitting area is very nice!. However, £16.50 for a main course , arrived and it was absolutely tiny… a child would have been left hungry and was far from special. Then when the bill came, overcharged for the wine by £12. Restaurant is massively overrated.

All I can say is WOW! Fantastic food, great atmosphere, lovely styled cafe and staff were lovely. Highly recommend. Turned up again on Tuesday past and it was shut for some reason? 😢

I have been there for the first time today. I would highly recommend this place. Food was amazing, great atmosphere, very friendly and competent staff. I will back soon.

Food was very tasty but my pet hate is slate instead of plate so find that side of things a bit style over substance. Starters were amazing so was looking forward to mains...Pheasant burger bit dry but apple sauce saved it. Cash only a bit of a turn off too...who has cash on them nowadays !! it was not highlighted on my booking either so had to dash for cash mid meal. Not great

What I can say other than the best 3 course meal my wife and I have had for a long time. The level of cooking, quality of ingredients and presentation of all the dishes was superb. The atmosphere was relaxed the staff cheery, helpful and informative. Restored my faith that great cooking is still alive and kicking.

Pleasantly surprised after accidentally stumbling upon this tucked away cafe whilst passing through Aberdeen. Waitress who served me was very kind and helpful, and the food was even better - possibly the most tasty salad and sandwich I’ve had in a while! The place seems a bit more upmarket, and the prices certainly reflect that, however I feel it was more than worth it. Recommend! Even had a nice sheltered outdoor eating space, but had to pre-book
