An excellent, unique dining experience in Aberdeen. Very laid back with top live music from Kyle & Harry. A special mention for Craig & his staff too.

Four course menu was fantastic. We had salmon, soup, scallops and Cote de Boef; it was superb and amazing value. Downstairs to the cocktail bar for drinks after finished off the night. Lovely team, passionate, knowledgeable and very skilled.

My Dad brought his friends here for a treat and absolutely loved it. He said the food was fantastic and that all the wines and other drinks were amazing too. He said he’s definitely coming back and so will his friends.

I took my husband to Faffless for his birthday dinner on a Wednesday night, and we opted for the 5-course tasting menu. We each chose different dishes to try as much of the menu as possible, and every dish was exceptional. Since I was driving, I stuck to water, but my husband went for the wine pairing and was thoroughly impressed. The service was top-notch, with each dish presented with a warm smile and detailed explanation. I will definitely be returning!

Excellent food but experience was let down by service level and dishes not available despite being early in the evening. Suggest adding a 3 course option. Not because of cost but amount of food.
