Do I need to book a table?

Yes, we'd recommend it. We do take walk-ins, subject to availability, but booking is the only way to be sure of a table. You can book online using the form below or call us on 01224 501529. If you're coming for Sunday lunch, it's worth booking ahead. For parties of ten or more, please email us at info@theatriumaberdeen.com, as the online booking form can't take large groups.

Do children need their own seat?

Yes, including babies in highchairs. If you need seating for two adults and a highchair, book for three.

What happens if we're running late?

There's a fifteen-minute grace period. Give us a ring if you're going to be later than that, and bear in mind a late arrival shortens your table time.

How long do we get the table for?

Your booking confirmation will tell you. If you'd like longer, phone or email ahead and we'll do what we can.

Are children welcome?

Very. We just ask that they stay supervised, as our staff are moving around with hot plates.

Is there step-free access?

Yes, there's step-free access into The Atrium.

What time does the kitchen stop?

We're closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Wednesday and Thursday food is served until 8.30pm, Friday and Saturday until 9pm, and Sunday until 7.30pm. The bar stays open later.

I've got an allergy or a dietary requirement, what should I do?

Tell us when you book, either in the booking notes or by giving us a ring on 01224 501529. The kitchen handles allergies directly and we'll talk you through what we can do.

The food

Scottish cooking, made to order

Everything's cooked to order, so some plates take a few minutes longer. The kitchen starts with Scottish produce and isn't remotely precious about what happens next. Sunday roasts one day, gochujang and coconut broth the next.

2 courses £25, 3 courses £30. Excludes chef's specials.

Sundays

Sunday's sorted

A traditional roast every Sunday until 25 November, cooked slow and served hot. Familiar enough for your gran, with the kitchen's own thinking stirred through it. Roast served with trimmings. 2 courses £25 or 3 courses £30. Served Sunday from 12pm, food until 7:30pm. From 25 November the festive menu takes over as our only menu, so the roast isn't served through the Christmas season. Book ahead, Sundays go quickly.

Families

Bring the little ones

Kids get their own two or three courses, from mac and cheese to a chocolate brownie sundae. Highchairs, and nobody minds a bit of noise. Book a seat for every child, including babies in highchairs, so the table's the right size.

2 courses £8.50, 3 courses £10.50.

The bar

Whisky, craft beer and a good chat

Twenty whiskies on the shelf, from Monkey Shoulder up to a 21-year-old Balvenie, alongside Aberdeen's own Fierce IPA on tap. The house cocktail is the Atrium Bramble, made with Hendrick's, lemon and creme de mure. The bar stays open after the kitchen closes, so there's no rush to leave once you've eaten.

The room

Light, wood and a bit of warmth

Daylight through the glazing at the front, lamplight and a copper-topped bar towards the back, and tartan on the chairs throughout. It's a room that suits a long Sunday lunch as easily as a quiet midweek dinner.

“1st visit very pleased with choice to menus and very happy to give me a small sample of Thai sauce to decide if okay with chilli strength we both had 3 course deal which was good value. Staff were friendly and very helpful especially Chris and Stacey Most certainly visit again”

“They have six beers on tap. The Guinness I had was served ice cold- not the proper temperature for a stout. The bruschetta was delicious (though it really wasn't anything like the bruschetta you'd get in Italy- there was no tomato, onions or garlic- just tasty mushrooms). The hagus (it was spicy), venison stew and the vegetarian dish [sweet potato tart with carrots, parsnips, potatoes and broccoli rabe] were all good. For dessert we had the cranachan and the sundae- we didn't much care for either of them.”

“Wow, just wow! Food was amazing, staff were amazing and the atmosphere was amazing! 2 courses for £27, couldn't believe the quality for that price. Maggie our server told us it was her first day but you'd never know. She was friendly, knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. I have coeliacs disease and Tony the general manager was very aware of allergens and put my mind at ease. We will make a trip back to Aberdeen just to eat here.”
