As one would expect from Scotland's third largest city, Aberdeen has much to offer the diner in the way of a varied dining experience. Speciality dining refers to any restaurant or eating establishment perceived to be slightly off the beaten track in terms of cuisine.

Aberdeen's diverse population and recent regeneration and growth have spawned a plethora of new and speciality restaurants all meeting innovative and exciting market demands.
The rise of organic and vegetarian restaurants is particularly notable in Aberdeen and its surrounding environs. With some of Scotland's finest local produce on its doorstep, the city's restaurants have no shortage of the freshest of ingredients necessary to make a good restaurant stand out.
Due to its coastal location Aberdeen has several outstanding seafood restaurants and a number of notable oyster bars for that special occasion, or perhaps washed down with a glass of champagne for no reason at all.
The Spanish Tapas Bar is a form of speciality cuisine enormously popular in the UK and Aberdeen has a large selection to choose from. This is a highly social form of dining with each person selecting a number of small dishes to share. Like Italian cuisine the restaurants are generally family friendly, and cater for a range of budgets. A tapas menu will usually have main dishes on offer also.
Other speciality dining venues to be found in Aberdeen include Turkish, Polish, Greek and Vietnamese restaurants, amongst many others. However, the term speciality may also refer to the entertainment on offer whilst dining. For example a piano bar or karaoke bar, or perhaps a nightclub which offers food during the earlier part of the evening.
To tempt you into trying a new and exciting cuisine, we feature here a selection of Aberdeen's premier speciality restaurants based on popularity and quality.
