Went on Valantines Day for my birthday. Had been meaning to go for a while now and the wait was well worth it. Easily the best overall dining experience we've had in Aberdeen for a long time. All the small plate dishes we picked were made perfectly and arrived at a nice relaxing pace with good wines to accompany the food. The restaraunt was nice and warm for a cold winters day and the ambiance and atmosphere was good. The staff and owners were all lovely and the service was excellent. Will definitely go back if they have a changing seasonal menu. More...

We had a lovely time at Mara. The staff were extremely nice, friendly, and funny, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious. We only had a few small bites, but everything was amazing, especially the arancini, which was my personal favourite.I would definitely highly recommend this place. More...

Been here multiple times now. Staff are lovely, food is mega, wine is lovely. They have cocktails and beer too if wine isn't thing. We actually really enjoy sitting up at the bar seats. Everyone is very friendly.We did their Sunday roast day too when it was on. This was amazing and really hope they bring it back. More...

Wasn't sure what to expect, but was blown away with the food, the service and the standard set. Really great experience and one that could make me a regular upon my free time. Booze was also ace, clean pipes and ice cooling beer. Obscure but flavoursome wine! Can't wait for next visit. More...

Was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. Most definitely underrated and not talked about enough. Highly recommend if you are looking for a cosy place with good food and wine! Had the mackerel, duck, prawns, tagliatelle, MARAncini, tiramisu they were all so very good. No photos because we were too hungry and just scoffed and stuffed our faces as soon as the food arrived More...

One of the best meals I’ve had! Every single dish was exceptional, tasted utterly amazing! I dined with three other people who all agreed there wasn’t a dish / element we didn’t like. Would highly recommend ordering the arancini, they were addictive!! The service was great, every one was very welcoming and the restaurant itself is lovely inside, I love the open kitchen design. This is my new favourite restaurant in Aberdeen and can guarantee I’ll be back again and again. Thank you for a fantastic meal! More...

Great food, excellent service! It’s an expensive experience, but a good one! I went for lunch with my friend, we had 2 drinks each, shared starter, small plate each and tasting plate each … it cost us 130£ with tips. The booking system is not good as you need to send an email to get reservation and takes some time a long time to get an answer, but I was told that this will change next week or so … More...

Booked here for early evening drinks and food. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful. We both decided to go for the ‘special’ which was pasta served with chanterelle mushrooms in a truffle creamy sauce. It was delicious and the pasta was al dente which was cooked perfectly. We had sides of Parmesan coated chips - amazing ! For drinks we decided to have a couple of glasses of chilled Prosecco. For dessert we shared vanilla cheesecake with blackcurrant sorbet which again was lovely. I can highly recommend Mara for their excellent food and service. Can’t wait to return. More...

Honestly just excellent. Last minute decided to try and get a table for lunch on a Friday and luckily they had one available. The staff were super knowledgeable and friendly. The food was just insane. The flavours were amazing and unlike anything I've had in Aberdeen. The wine was delicious. More...

The food here is truly excellent, and so is the service. The only issue we had was one large group near us who thought it was acceptable to shout and swear. I’m no stranger to bad language and drunken behaviour, but there’s a time and a place. It’s called having manners, respect and consideration for your fellow diners. In our case, the management decided not to do anything about it, even after this being brought to their attention multiple times. Unfortunately this problem isn’t unique to this establishment. It’s just a shame it’s tolerated, and an unknown level of revenue will never cross your path. Ratings do and should reflect customer experience. Ours could have been better. We were kindly given a free bottle of wine, which shouldn’t have been necessary; and should have been paid for by the other group. I know dozens of folk who simply don’t go and eat out anymore because they can’t be bothered listening to the nonsense from a certain demographic. Shame really. More...

We visited on Friday, 8th August, and honestly had the best time. There was a small mix-up with our table when we arrived, but the staff handled it so well and made sure we were looked after from start to finish. They brought over canapés and drinks while sorting everything out, which was such a nice touch, and throughout the evening nothing felt like too much trouble. They were more than happy to tweak dishes to suit our tastes, and you could really see and taste how fresh everything was. The whole atmosphere was relaxed and full of good vibes, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more welcoming. Big thanks to Alan, Rianna and Niesa you really made the night for us. Can’t wait to come back! More...

Excellent. Really excellent. Popped in with my other half who’d heard great things. Just for a glass of wine… at first. Then sitting by the bar overlooking the kitchen it was only a matter of minutes before we were on a journey of food discovery. Brilliantly looked after by the bartender. A proper buzz going on around us too. A wee gem of a place. Top marks. More...

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Neil for two years now, and he’s been nothing short of amazing. Not only is he incredibly talented behind the camera, but he’s also such a kind and genuine person to have around. His photos are simply stunning, full of light, warmth, and personality. He captures moments so naturally, and every picture tells a story. Whether it’s a quiet smile, a shared laugh, or a big celebration, Neil manages to catch the heart of it all. We’re so grateful for his continued support at Rubislaw Park and truly can’t recommend him enough. An absolute gem to work with and a master of his craft. More...

We’ve been to Mara Wine Bar three times now and are consistently blown away by the quality of the food, it’s truly raising the bar in Aberdeen, and at incredible value. The Parmesan chips are a must, the arancini are always spot-on, and the specials never disappoint. They cater thoughtfully to all dietary needs, and the wine list is excellent, with favourites like Montepulciano and Barolo. The relaxed setting makes it perfect for any occasion, and booking is refreshingly easy just give the friendly team a call. We’ve even managed to get in last minute it’s lovely they try their best to cater for walk ins where possible. Ross and Carolina have created something really special here. It’s quickly become a go-to for us in the city. Highly recommended! More...

Went on Saturday for first time. Lovely place, friendly service and great choice of food and wine. Highlights for me were the pork special, the duck waffle and the scallop. The fizzy red lambrisco and the fruity red were noteworthy. We will 100 %return. My only note was I emailed to book in Tuesday and it took till Friday to get a reply. Given it was Saturday lunch I was not that worried but could be smoother. More...

Been meaning to go here for so long - can’t believe they are now 13 months old Been twice recently - first time they had a private event on so couldn’t get a table but they phoned me back and said as I was by myself if I was happy at the bar I could come. Absolute win for me as at the bar you get to see the chefs cooking and plating which I love - also meant the chef served me many of the dishes I ate and was so attentive when it came to getting his staff to get me another glass of wine - highly recommend the bar seats I ate so much the first night as wanted to try everything - the menu isn’t huge so I’m almost through it after 2 visits The food - I literally cannot gush enough! Everything I have had has been 10/10 or more honestly so so so fine It’s why I returned for visit 2 so quickly - again i sat at the bar Visit 3 to complete the menu (almost) won’t be far away that’s for sure I said to the staff today I though Amuse could not be beaten for quality, but this place is right up there plus the service is laid back, friendly same from the chefs which I got a chance to speak to sitting at the bar - just a great experience It’s a little more expensive, but if you really like your food as I do it’s worth every single penny To accompany the food they have tremendous wines, I even sampled a red today which I’m at the beginner stages with (it was very acceptable to me), I had all 4 white on the first visit and enjoyed them all This is a wee gem in the Aberdeen food scene and I can see myself visiting so many times - if you like your food & wine and don’t mind paying a bit more for unbelievable quality and taste I cannot recommend Mara enough To the team simply 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 More...

Calum is the best barber I've ever had, very professional and a hard worker. He even done a cut for me on Christmas Eve. His shop is welcoming and he's easy to speak to.
