We had eggs benedict and a haggis pizza. Blandest pizza I've had. I preferred the edges to the actual part with the filling, since the dough was okay. The haggis was tasteless, with big hard oat grains rather than the smoother haggis I have had elsewhere which was bursting with flavour.
As for the benedict, the bacon was good however the eggs were overcooked and the hollandaise was, again, bland, and didn't have any of that nice lemony flavour you would associate with a good hollandaise.

Read moreNo star!!! But it won't let me!!! I'm currently sat here now!! I paid 9 pounds for a full English breakfast!!! After I've ordered it the waiter then told me they got no sausages left.

I had a BLT while I was there and it is honestly one of the better ones I have had in a long time.
If I am ever back in Aberdeen, I will definitely...
