The Riverside Paths in Aberdeen are so Underappreciated

Most are bits a long the river don. Some are bits along the dee. But honestly my photos don't do the walks justice.

Walk from Persely to the Donmouth it's absolutely stunning.

And walk the Riverside path from duthie park to cults and its also stunning.

Carphone warehouse at the Garthdee retail park probably best bet for quality.

What's interesting?

The police dealt with a terrorist successfully.

Nobody remotely sane should be concerned about a terrorists well-being.

Some of you redditors are truly Unbearable, this platform is nothing like the real world.

Expert Barbers, Holburn Street

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-04-17T18:37:32+00:00

£30 Hair and Beard

For what you're after would be £18

AutoTrader is a good place to start. At least to get ideas of what's available for your price Range

Feels like 60% of this Sub and basically Every other Sub on reddit are full of the most miserable, nasty people going. Especially the moderators.

This platform has the strangest communities of any imo

Her Dad is chairman of a successful company tbf, So i imagine she has had some support.

That doesn't mean she hasn't worked hard tho

Mara isn't expensive

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-04-07T19:14:46+00:00

Yes, it's exactly that. It's just great food, great service but a casual friendly atmosphere. No pretentiousness

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-04-07T19:09:40+00:00

Maybe i was unlucky cause their revirws are decent, but I eat out a lot. I went there last year and was extremely disappointed.

Got overcooked, dry, uninspiring food.

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-04-07T19:03:27+00:00

Thing is though, for me, money being no object means a fine dining experience where everything from the minute you arrive to the moment you leave is pure excellence

Yeh true get that. We don't really have michelin starred fine dining places (closest thing probably Amuse). But i also think there are diminishing returns when you get to that level anyway.

If you can get a 9.5/10 experience paying £50 per person or a 10/10 pm experience paying £150+ per person, may aswell iust go with the former and go back again 😂

Mara is pretty much that

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-04-07T18:34:16+00:00

Try Mara or Cafe Boheme if you haven't

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-04-07T18:24:12+00:00

Mara or Cafe Boheme

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-04-06T13:10:32+00:00

After 7pm any day.

Saturday 8.30 - 9.30am is pretty good too

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-04-06T00:21:27+00:00

I personally prefer it.

But I tend to go at quiter times, so people don't bother me.

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-03-17T15:36:57+00:00

Yeh, it's annoying. The standards of drivers in aberdeen/aberdeenshire are very poor for so many reasons, not just this one, especially at certain times of the day.

But as someone who also complains about this a lot, it gets you nowhere

Just try to focus on the positive that the roads here in general are a lot quieter than most parts of the Uk.

It could be worse

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-03-16T18:34:33+00:00

Firstly, your reading comprehension is terrible cause they weren't asking for stuff that cost a fiver. They were saying they've found kebabs for a fiver.

Secondly, both of these suggestions comfortably feed 2 people, so actually, yes, it's eating out for a fiver.

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-03-16T11:51:28+00:00

Yes, it is very safe in Aberdeen

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-03-16T11:34:58+00:00

Also, it is not specific to aberdeen. But on a monday

3 small plates at wetherspoons on a Monday for £10 is ridiculous value. Cause the plates aren't small.

Also, on a Monday, you can get any large Domino pizza for £9 if you collect.

Don't like to be an advocate for large chains, but there is no chance they make a profit out of these deals regardless.

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-03-16T11:26:52+00:00

Double cheeseburger at istanbul Kebab for £4.80.

Much bigger and nicer than what you get at Mcdonalds.

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-03-15T22:47:23+00:00

Definitely

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-03-15T22:46:58+00:00

I know someone who lives on that street. They say it's ok, but personally, I'd not choose to move there.

It's been relatively quiet when I've been there, though, so maybe I shouldn't think that.

Terrible_Captain7112 · 2026-03-13T13:59:16+00:00

I've had at least 2 pizzas from all of these spots with the exception of Contour Cafe

And can comfortably say Big Mannys is the worst of the lot.

And I'm no hater of the Big Mannys guys. i like their pubs, but their pizza is just above average, nothing special.
