Skylark Opening

Skylark Brasserie, Aberdeen’s newest destination for modern brasserie dining, was officially opened on Friday 30 January by Chairman Sir Jim Milne CBE, ahead of opening to the public on Saturday 31 January.

The official opening was marked with a small gathering of invited business associates and representatives, coming together to celebrate continued investment in the city. The Lord Provost of Aberdeen was in attendance, underlining the importance of the Marcliffe project and its contribution to Aberdeen’s economic and hospitality landscape.

Located at Marcliffe, Skylark Brasserie offers an elevated all-day dining experience for Aberdeen, blending relaxed elegance with a lively yet unhurried atmosphere. Showcasing the very best of local, seasonal Scottish produce, the menu celebrates fresh flavours and modern brasserie classics, making Skylark a distinctive new destination for everything from long lunches to evening gatherings. Skylark will also host a programme of special events and live music, including its first brunch experience - the Bridgerton Brunch, bringing an added sense of occasion and entertainment to the city’s dining scene.

Sir Jim Milne, CBE commented on the night: “Skylark is something truly unique for Aberdeen. We’re incredibly proud of what’s taking shape here and excited to share it with our guests. It reflects a long-term commitment to quality, to hospitality, and to investing in the future of the city.”

The event was also a meaningful moment for the Spence family, with Stewart family present to see the new space officially opened.

Total investment in the Skylark project has now exceeded £5.5 million, encompassing a state-of-the-art kitchen, bespoke interiors and upgraded facilities, reflecting a significant and continued investment in Aberdeen.

Whether for casual dining, an evening out or a special occasion, Skylark Brasserie offers thoughtful food, warm hospitality and an elevated brasserie experience. Skylark Brasserie is now open to the public at Marcliffe, Aberdeen.
