New Walking Tour of Aberdeen Lets the Food Does the Talking
Experience an easygoing food walk that highlights Granite City kitchens in a new and relaxed way.
Some Sundays are better spent on the go rather than sitting on the sofa. The Restaurant Tour brings that idea to life with a walkable food route through Aberdeen. Six restaurants, six dishes, a drink at each stop. It’s part meal, part wander, and a good excuse to try something new without overthinking it.
You pick a start time, decide who you want to go with—if anyone—and follow a mapped-out loop of six local restaurants. Each one serves a single dish with a matching drink. It’s structured but flexible. You move at your own pace, guided by an app that keeps everything on track.

A low-key setup that rewards curiosity
Rather than spread six bookings across six weekends, this gives you a snapshot of different kitchens in one go. Each restaurant offers something that reflects its unique style. You see how they treat guests, what the front of house feels like, and whether you’d come back for more.
It’s an easy way to get a feel for the food scene without committing to a full evening or three-course meal. The route is self-guided, so you’re not lumped in with a big group. You won’t be expected to chat with strangers, though you might end up swapping recommendations along the way.
Built for wandering, not rushing
The format leaves space for different kinds of Sundays. You can book it as a low-pressure date, bring a friend or two, or make a solo day of it. Since the timings are staggered, you won’t be moving as a crowd. The experience is yours to shape.
There are two dates in Aberdeen this year: Sunday 24 August and Sunday 2 November. If it catches on, more will follow. The same model has been running for years in the Netherlands, but we think this will work nicely here.
Part of the charm is that it feels low-key. No big banners or queues, just a simple way to spend your afternoon eating well and noticing places you might have passed by before. Visit The Restaurant Tour for more information and booking. You’ll get a full itinerary and app access once you’re in.
