Looking for somewhere to host your Christmas party in Aberdeen? Well, we invite you to take a wander down the characterful mediaeval streets of Aberdeen's Merchant Quarter, an area brimming with independent businesses and unique charm. Here, you'll find neighbourhood restaurant Moonfish Café which since 2004 and has been serving up seasonal dishes using locally-sourced, sustainable produce, with a killer natural wine list, too.
Tuesday to Saturday, this spot is filled with guests for lunch and dinner, but the team is excited to welcome more private hire bookings this year, particularly across the festive season. Whether you're planning the annual Christmas party for your office or bringing together friends and family for a seasonal shindig, this is the place for great food in a casual environment. While the website doesn't share all of the details for private hire, simply get in touch with the team and they'll be happy to talk you through the options.
In terms of the space, Moonfish Café has a bistro feel with dark wooden chairs, authentic floor boards and large windows, which fill the dining room with natural light. It's the perfect backdrop for any kind of gathering with a universally-loved aesthetic reminiscent of a French cafe.
Moonfish Café's concept is all about championing Scottish produce so the ever-changing menu reflects the seasons. However, if you'd like an example of the kinds of plates to expect you can check out the sample menu on the website. At the moment, starters look like salt cod brandade with poached egg and salad lyonnaise, with mains such as spring lamb with peas, couscous and grilled gem lettuce, and desserts like banana parfait, peanut butter ganache and rum caramel. Speak to the team about organising a selection of wines for your event, too, with the team more than happy to share recommendations.
