Irmak Restaurant

Head down to Queens Link and you'll find Irmak tucked into the leisure park with views that actually make sense of the Esplanade location. It's the sort of place that's consistently rammed because people know what they're doing—the kind of restaurant that makes you realise how many mediocre kebab shops you've suffered through over the years. The room itself is polished without being pretentious, which feels right for Aberdeen; you can dress it up or keep it casual and nobody minds either way.
