Our story
A family restaurant in Aberdeen city centre
We're here to feed you well, look after you, and send you home already planning the next one.
How it started
Our story
The Atrium opened in June 2023, the second Aberdeen restaurant the Clark family run, alongside Hammerman's on Golden Square. Good Scottish produce, distinct flavours from all around the world, and a Scottish fusion you won't find anywhere else in the city.
The room is where the name comes from. It's one large space under a pitched glass roof, with white glazing bars overhead, a lantern chandelier hanging beneath them and a bar built from whisky barrel staves with copper taps at the pumps. It suits a Tuesday dinner for two and a christening lunch for forty.
Since opening it's become somewhere Aberdeen books by default: Sunday roasts, birthdays, anniversaries, first dates. It currently stands at 4.3 from 302 Google reviews, and we're well aware that only lasts as long as the cooking does.

This is why we do it
We built The Atrium to do one thing well. Take good Scottish produce, give it flavours you weren't expecting, and put it in front of you in a room you don't want to leave. Everything else follows from that.

The room
Have a look around
One large room under a pitched glass roof, with the lantern chandelier at its centre and the whisky barrel bar at one end. You can tell it wasn't built by a chain.
