The description read: "Café Bohème is the epitome of savoir-vivre, in the very heart of Aberdeen. Combining over a decade of French heritage at its roots along years of Scottish cooking expertise.

"Bohème delivers the perfect fusion of classic cuisine and finest local produce. In true parisian style - where time is to be savoured, not rushed - Bohème lives by the slow food values: ensuring meticulous attention to detail, served with passion for honest, homegrown produce."

The list is compiled by analysing more than 900,000 diner reviews, along with diner ratings, reservation demand, percentage of five-star reviews among other factors, and features a diverse list of restaurants perfect for any occasion.

OpenTable has also released 2024 UK dining trends and 2025 dining insights including a rise in mid-week dining and early dinner dining (4-6pm) this year, and that over half of Brits (59%) are planning to dine out more in 2025 than 2024.

Laure Bornet, Vice President of International Growth at OpenTable said: “We're seeing a shift in UK dining habits. Brits are breaking away from traditional patterns by embracing earlier dinner times and mid-week dining, which is good news for restaurants as these times can be typically quieter.

“According to new research, these trends are set to continue into 2025 - whether it's a Wednesday evening tasting menu or an early dinner with colleagues, diners are mixing it up and creating their own dining prime time.”

Over half (59%) of Brits plan to dine out more next year - rising to 65% of Londoners and 63% of Mancunians* - OpenTable’s Top 100 Restaurants in the UK 2024 list for diners, by diners*** is here to help Brits put these trends into action and decide what hotspot to discover next.

Laure added: “Our Top 100 Restaurant list highlights a breadth of diner favourites in the UK - from neighbourhood gems like Ciullõsteria in London to award-winning spots like Opheem in Birmingham.

“Whether Brits are looking for a spontaneous midweek meal or festive feast, we hope diners use the list as a source of inspiration for local spots and their UK travels, this year and next.”
