Looking at the Main Menu Specials Menu, I honestly couldn 't choose what I wanted. Everything sounded so good especially the Black Pudding Dauphinoise which accompanied some of the dishes. In the end, I decided to order Scallops Razor Clams with Basil Pesto and Pea Shoots to start with and then Venison, Bubble Squeak, Green Beans, Asparagus, Sweet Potato Crisps a Juniper Jus for Main Course off of the Specials Menu with a side order of Black Pudding Dauphinoise (I couldn 't resist! . Gillian ordered Haggis and Coriander Spring Roll with Chilli Jam to start with and then Ginger Roast Duck Breast, Braised Red Cabbage, Spiced Apple Puree and Black Pudding Dauphinoise. Despite my ever growing lo...
Oh Musa... This restaurant as a testament that Scottish food isn 't all deep fried confectionery and that you don 't need to be in Edinburgh to experience first class cooking. Set in an old 19th century church in the bottom of Aberdeen, Musa is a wee gem just waiting to convert you with top food, drink and occasionally music too. So to the food, oh the food! I began with the haggis spring rolls while my companion had the wild mushrooms on garlic toast. Beautifully presented and really tasty, these are the sort of starters that get the stomach rumbling in anticipation of the next course. My companion is not a native to these shores so raised an eyebrow at my starter, but having sampled it jus...
Musa, its cool, its hip, its gotta be one of thee places to be seen in Aberdeen. On top of that, Musa is one of the most unique restaurants in the country, being house in an old chapel with its lovely wooden beams, balcony and fantastic artwork which you can buy) adorning the walls. Half point for this! But as much as I love the look and feel of the place I was not particularity enamored with the rather bland and seriously expensive food. My tomato soup to start tasted like a tin of chopped tomatoes, with a couple of veggies thrown in, good for a pasta sauce perhaps but not a soup, nul points. Second dish was a fillet of lemon sole, the special! The fish itself was pretty nice and well cooke...
It's a beautiful space but a few things meant we left feeling a little disappointed in our experience here. We had a booking and were initially shown to our table on the mezzanine. However, we were then asked to move as they had a booking and were seated at a table against a window which had a draught which meant I had to put my coat back on for the rest of lunch and generally made me a bit miffed. For my meal, I had the poached smoked haddock with creamy mash, white wine cream and poached egg. Presentation was nice, and it was a generous portion but overall it was a pretty bland dish and I wasn't all that impressed. I think there wasn't enough contrast between the flavours so it all got a b...

A restaurant/art venue in a nice looking converted old church (I think). My girlfriend and I went there for an anniversary dinner after a recommendation from friends (they also serve lunch) . The restaurant has some sort of link with the local Brewdog brewery and each dish on the menu is paired with one of their beers. We had haggis spring roll and smoked salmon to start, both excellent. For the main course we went for lamb with goats cheese mash which was also outstanding. Dessert was a very tasty sticky toffee pudding. Overall, the bill came to about £65, including a couple of beers. It's not the cheapest place to eat in Aberdeen, but the menu is really inventive (and changes monthly), and...
I am not quite sure what Musa is...is it a coffee shop? Is it a restaurant? Whatever it is, I like it. They seem to tout themselves as a coffee shop (or cafe , but really they are a restaurant. The husband and I wondered in there for coffee and dessert the other night and really enjoyed ourselves. There was live music. We ended up ordering some of the cakes, which are like 1/4 of the price of desserts from the restaurant menu. The cappuccinos were so good, we went back for seconds...the draw was probably the fresh shaven chocolate on top! As far as atmosphere goes, I give it 100%. At night, it really is a restaurant and not a cafe/coffee shop. I don 't know the atmosphere during the day, but...
I've visited Musa on a few separate occasions now, I'm yet to be disappointed with the service or the food. The guys here are closely linked to BrewDog, this is great for the bar as it means there is great beer on draught and in bottles. The food in here is always changing, the menu reflects seasonality of their ingredients and has a fun Scottish twist to it. I love how they match the food to beers that they keep in stock. Allowing customers to get a great food and beer pairing. They keep a great stock of whiskies and have a nice desert menu to help you finish off your evening in style. So if your looking for a fun, different and interesting food and drink experience this is the place to com...
I've been there several times and I must say the food/service/entertainment didn't change. FOOD nice and nicely presented, Scottish twist as they say, but for me it was either too HEAVY, bland or too many different flavours at once SERVICE very good TIMING good ATMOSPHERE they have usually something going on, it is nice romantic place with life music in Aberdeen But in general pretty overpriced place for the food you get, unless you go for the life music mainly and the atmosphere. Not my taste, but then again somebody might like it.

What a fantastic little place. Make a reservation because this place is packed. This place is built into an old church so there is a not much room. It looks like they have bands here on a regular basis, although not the night we were there. Service was fantastic, not only attentive but friendly as well. This was a great send-off for our last night in Scotland. Make sure you finish off with the sticky toffee pudding.
Musa is a perfect little artist food spot. I love to come here with friends for a special meal. The food is of very high quality with a Scottish twist. The menu is quite small but always a very good dish with high quality ingredients. Their desserts are particularly delicious especially in Aberdeen which is short of good dessert places! A different spot that is good to take visitors for a nice relaxing evening!
