Cafe 52 was once THE restaurant in Aberdeen with a truly imaginative menu. Unfortunately those days are long gone. It really is living on its past reputation. The food portions have reduced and the choice and quality has been dumbed down although the prices have risen. It really is a shame to see such a decline. When will management realize that the punters are not stupid and will simply move on. I know I have !

I went to cafe 52 today, i sent my burger back.. it was cold as were the 10 chips! the people i were with had cold bland betrrot pasta... which has no beetroot. I'm usually a big big fan of Cafe52 but it really really has gone downhill. Next time i'll go to moonfish round the corner

This has to be the best restaurant in Aberdeen, the food is out of this world, the staff are warm and friendly, the restaurant is small and very unusual, but that is what makes it so special. There is something endearing about the rickety tables and the simple but very effective decor that makes this place unique, it is somewhere that once you sit down you really don't want to leave. The evenings are simply the best, subtle lighting (lots of candles), fantastic aromas and wine served at the perfect temperature every time... A little piece of heaven in ...  Read the complete review
