Suma Restaurant & Cocktail Bar

You'll find Suma tucked away on Guild Street in the heart of Aberdeen's city centre, and it's the kind of place that makes you feel like you've stumbled onto something worth your time. The vibe sits somewhere between neighbourhood cocktail bar and proper restaurant — they're not trying too hard, but they're clearly taking both the drinks and the food seriously. It's the spot where you can rock up for an aperitif and end up staying for dinner, or vice versa. The space has that sleek, contemporary feel without being sterile or trying to be Instagram-famous. With a solid 4.5-star rating from nearly 200 reviews, locals clearly rate what's happening here.
