This is the “other” fish restaurant in Aberdeen situated in the city centre and less formal than the Silver Darling Despite the the focus on fish there will be a dish on the menu for carnivores, nonetheless you would go here for the fish.

It is quite a small restaurant situated on The Green, next door to the Old Kings highway pub, and across from Cafe 52. The Green itself can be quite an attractive setting, as long as the concrete building accommodating the market is excluded from the view. On the North side of The Green the building tower up to Union Street.

In addition to the printed menu the days specials are shown on a black board. Popular dishes among the specials do tend to sell out. The last occasion I went the fish on offer included halibut, wolf fish. The wolfish came with rice and a slightly piquant sauce. I had preceded this with scallops served with black pudding.

The atmosphere is relaxed and the service generally friendly and helpful. Though on the occasion of my most recent visit one of the staff was rather surly and brusk. A three course meal for three including wine came to £115 in September 2008.

Bistro Verde is a nice little eatery centrally situated on The Green. It is crowded and very popular. Good deals available at lunchtime with consistent quality and pleasant service. The portions are plentiful - the starters in particular are enormous. Very good for fish and seafood - the linguine with baby clams is delicious. Only quibble is the evenings when there are two sevices - if you get an earlier sitting you can feel slightly pressured to leave but no real complaints.
