City Centre
Ship Row Village Street Food
Set on what was once one of the most important streets in Aberdeen, Shiprow acted as the main connection between the city centre and the harbour, the heart of Aberdonian trade and of course, fishing. Subsequently, quality food has been a staple on Shiprow, with plenty fish markets and local grocers operating along this cobbled street as far back as early 1820s.
This deep-seated appreciation for food continues on now, as Shiprow Village aims to celebrate the various restaurants, bars and pop-ups, who all serve up passionately crafted, quality food.
