Vovem Meat & Liquor

You're walking up Union Street and you need proper food with proper drinks. Vovem delivers exactly that without pretension. This is where Aberdeen goes when it wants flame-grilled beef and cocktails that aren't an afterthought, all housed in a space that feels deliberately unfussy. The kitchen takes its protein seriously—expect confident cuts cooked right and paired with liquor selections that go beyond the obvious. It's become exactly the sort of neighbourhood spot locals keep coming back to, whether you're in after work or planning a proper night out.
