Lunch at The Beautiful Mountain on Aberdeen's Belmont Street It has been serving hungry customers for almost 14 years and is always a lunchtime hit with locals. The view from the window is perfect and the vibe chilled out and relaxed. By day The Beautiful Mountain is a coffee shop, serving sandwiches and sweet treats. But, by night, the restaurant takes on a different demeanor as a tapas bar. If you're popping along this lunchtime, the shop bakes their own bread fresh every day. They have set sandwiches or you can create your own, with a choice of different breads, wraps, bagels and even gluten-free choices. The soups are made daily from fresh local produce and they pledge to use quality ingredients, sourced locally when possible. Downstairs is a hub of activity with the take-away area, so if you only have an hour's break from your desk, don't worry you can grab a bite to eat here too. Grab a coffee, grab a tea or even a hot chocolate but if you're getting a hot drink, it will have to be accompanied by a wee mince pie, just to keep it festive...well, that's my excuse. They also offer a full Scottish breakfast, which we think is definitely acceptable for lunch time. It's unpretentious, it's local and it's friendly. Perfect for a quick bite to eat on your lunch break or a seat in between all of that last minute Christmas shopping.
