Tarragon by Graham Mitchell

You'll find Tarragon tucked away on Rosemount Place, in one of those quieter corners of Aberdeen where locals actually eat rather than tourists stumble through. It's the kind of place where the chef—Graham Mitchell himself—isn't hidden away in some cathedral kitchen; he's genuinely cooking food that matters. The room feels properly grown-up without being stuffy: think candlelit tables, proper napery, and a genuinely interested staff who know what they're talking about. This is where Aberdeen's food-minded people go when they want something thoughtful and well-executed, without needing to explain themselves.
