Miller & Carter Aberdeen

You're walking up Union Street towards the city centre and Miller & Carter announces itself with understated confidence—no neon, no fuss, just a proper steakhouse doing what it does best. Inside, the room has that transatlantic swagger: leather banquettes, dark wood, and enough brass fittings to feel upscale without tipping into stuffy. The steaks are the main event, aged 28 days and cooked to order, though they don't neglect the sides—proper creamed spinach, truffle fries, that sort of thing. Service is attentive without hovering, and the wine programme actually offers decent bottles without the usual restaurant markup nonsense.
