Black Dog — Restaurant in Aberdeen City

Limited menu, but it is the first day after hopefully the last lockdown. Had to wait to be seated, but that's ok under the current circumstances. We were asked how many households we were from, the track and trace details were taken. All the rules were explained in detail, then we were escorted in to our table. There were 4 of us and we had, 2 Large Fish and Chips, 1 Double Cheese and Bacon Burger with Onion Rings and 1 BBQ Chicken, Bacon & Cheese Melt.

The fish was crispy and flavoursome and the chips were cooked just right and came with peas.

The double burger was cooked well and had a lot of flavour. The chips were nice and the onion rings were crunchy and tasty.

The BBQ Chicken had bags of flavour and the chips again were nice. Came with peas also.

No alcohol is allowed to be served indoors with your meal yet, outside only, but as it was pouring rain outside we were not interested in that. Scottish government rule, but I don't see a problem of 2 alcoholic drinks maximum with your meal indoors personally. The staff were friendly, but we've always found them friendly.

Once the menu goes back to an enhanced menu,...

Seemed like a nice friendly local bar and as me and my partner have just moved to the area we thought we'd pop in for lunch today. We were greeted with "DO YOU HAVE ID" by the bar lady (we are both 28, covered in tattoos) we told her we were only looking for some food and she insisted we still had to show id as anyone below the age of 18 has to be id'd in a pub, which we later googled and it says that applies at 8pm, not three in the afternoon. Anyway we showed her our id and she said "fine what do you want" and we said well we haven't seen a menu yet and then she led us to the lounge. My partner ordered our baked potatoes and asked if they came with side salad which she said they did, and then they arrived without, so I said to him "oh I guess we're not getting salad". When my partner went up to order some desserts the bar lady then said "I heard HER say something is everything alright with your food" which he thought was rude. Overall just a really awkward unwelcoming vibe, shame as the food was good and great...

I was up from Batley in Yorkshire for the weekend to visit my family here in Aberdeen and the Black Dog was recommended as an ideal place for us all to get together for Sunday lunch and it did not disappoint, Id like to thank Ewan and bar staff for their excellent service also the chef who catered for 16 of us, we found the meals to be excellent both in proportion and in taste, this was my first visit to the Black Dog and hope to return again on my next visit to the lovely city...
