As the sun sets over Aberdeen, the vibrant atmosphere of the city comes alive, particularly around Union Terrace Gardens (UTG). Nestled nearby is the newly opened Tarragon on the Terrace, a restaurant that promises a delightful dining experience. With its strategic location, it caters to theatre-goers from the nearby HM Theatre, making it an ideal spot for a pre-show meal.
Unlike its parent restaurant, Tarragon by Graham Mitchell, located in Rosemount, Tarragon on the Terrace offers a more casual yet elegant dining experience.
The menu is designed to be straightforward, featuring classic dishes that appeal to a wide audience. This approach allows diners to enjoy familiar favorites without the stress of an overwhelming selection.
During a recent visit, I had the pleasure of sampling several dishes that truly showcased the restaurant’s commitment to quality. I started with Cullen skink, a traditional Scottish soup rich with smoked fish and potatoes, complemented by a delightful rowie.
My dining companion opted for the prawn cocktail, which was generously portioned and bursting with flavor.
For the main course, I chose the beer-battered fish and chips. While the dish was enjoyable, I found the batter a bit heavier than my preference. My companion’s choice of a seven-ounce fillet steak, priced just under £40, raised some eyebrows regarding portion size, but the quality was undeniable. Cooked to perfection, it was tender and flavorful, proving that sometimes, quality trumps quantity.
To conclude our meal, we indulged in two classic desserts: sticky toffee pudding and chocolate cheesecake. Both were rich and satisfying, leaving us pleasantly full and content. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring that we left the restaurant with a sweet taste in our mouths.
The ambiance at Tarragon on the Terrace is casual yet sophisticated, with a decor that invites relaxation. The restaurant’s layout includes cozy nooks, making it suitable for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. Service was attentive and friendly, enhancing our overall experience.
As we departed, I couldn’t help but reflect on the restaurant’s potential to carve out its niche within Aberdeen’s dining scene. With its focus on approachable yet high-quality dishes, Tarragon on the Terrace is set to become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
