Welcome

On Beach Boulevard, the wide road that runs from the city centre down to the sea, a blue sign with an anchor and a palm tree in a stone wall mark Cafe Ahoy.

It is a small, cheerful cafe with a sunny outdoor terrace.

The kitchen does brunch and lunch, and does them generously: full breakfasts, stacks of pancakes piled with fresh fruit, eggs on avocado toast, sandwiches and salads, with smoothies and milkshakes to go with them and afternoon tea on a tiered stand.

Dogs are more than welcome, as long as they bring a well-behaved owner, which makes it a good stop before or after a walk on Aberdeen beach, just along the road. The cafe opens Wednesday to Sunday, from half past eight until half past three, and tables can be booked online.

Hidden Scotland, the magazine

Scotland, in print.

We want to show you the best that Scotland has to offer. The makers and the creatives, the enduring experiences, the evocative tales, the concealed corners. The roads less travelled that take you to places that matter. The adventures that gather you up and sweep you away. The blend of the wild and the artistic that makes Scotland what it is. We’d love for you to join us.
