Cafe Harmony

A cosy Sicilian and Mediterranean restaurant on Bon-Accord Terrace in Aberdeen, cooking the food of Sicily with local produce.

Welcome

Just off Union Street on Bon-Accord Terrace, Cafe Harmony feels like a family kitchen somewhere in the south of Italy.

The dining room is warm and a little eclectic, with old wooden tables, mismatched chairs, plants, rugs and soft lamps, and a busy bar along one side.

The kitchen is Sicilian at heart, and the chef brings the flavours of the island to Aberdeen, using fresh local ingredients and time-honoured recipes: pasta and pizza, spreads of small plates to share, and dishes from around the Mediterranean, served on scalloped silver platters.

It is a friendly, lively place for dinner with friends, and a popular one, so booking is wise. The restaurant opens in the evenings from Tuesday to Thursday, and from noon on Friday and Saturday.
