One of Aberdeen’s most popular restaurants is starting the year with a significant refurbishment.
The Silver Darling, which was acquired by independent hospitality business, The McGinty’s Group at the end of September 2017 has announced plans to extensively renovate its iconic restaurant.
Based in Fittie, The Silver Darling was first launched in 1986 and has continued to be one of the city’s favourite restaurants with its panoramic views overlooking the beach, Fittie and Aberdeen’s harbour.
The renovation work commenced today (Monday, January 8) and is expected to take up to 3-4 weeks to complete.
Director of The McGinty’s Group, Allan Henderson, said: “We are delighted to be starting 2018 with the exciting re-development of The Silver Darling. It is a unique venue with truly outstanding views but we feel it’s time for a fresh look for the New Year.
“The refurbishment will allow us to reinvigorate the restaurant with new stylish interiors which will complement our plans for the food and drink offering, whilst also allowing us to increase covers in the restaurant.”
Operations director of The McGinty’s Group, Alan Aitken, added: “The Silver Darling is one of kind in the area and through the revamp, we hope to celebrate the heritage of the venue, showcase our amazing location and ultimately provide the North-east with a memorable dining experience. We are all very excited about the new look and will be sharing sneak peek pictures on our social media channels and will update our customers with an opening date as soon as we can.”
