As someone with Portuguese heritage, going to Lita in Aberdeen was such a great experience and it made my birthday even more special. The food was absolutely amazing and full of flavor, with a creative and delicious twist on some traditional Portuguese dishes. You can really tell how much care goes into every plate. Everything we tried was outstanding, and the atmosphere made the celebration perfect. We truly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back again soon. Thank you Chef Wandy

Lita came highly recommended from a trusted source, and after enjoying their sister restaurant - Heirloom Kitchen - my wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here. We sat at the chef’s counter and had the 5-course chef’s tasting menu; what a unique and incredible experience. The chef’s counter is very interactive. You’re sitting almost literally inside the kitchen, with the magic happening all around you. All the cooks were incredibly friendly and welcoming - we were made to feel right at home. The servers are actually all cooks as well, and they rotate between front of house and back of house, so they know the food and the menu like the back of their hands. And speaking of the food, the one word that comes to mind is “delightful.” Because we experienced the tasting menu we didn’t actually have to order anything or make any selections, but I’ve attached photos of each course and accompanying menu descriptions. Crab salad, scallop crudo, skirt steak, duck, and cheesecake were among the offerings. The staff also included two additional courses - a gazpacho to begin and an excellent sorbet palate cleanser before dessert - so the 5 course menu really became 7. We chose not to include the sommelier’s wine pairings, but fortunately the couple next to us did, so we were treated to her expertise anyway, and she wasn’t hesitant to taste us on a few wines. The entire experience was truly unique, bespoke, and simply incredible. If you consider yourself a “foodie” and don’t mind going out on a limb and trusting the professionals, I HIGHLY recommend Lita and the chef’s counter in particular.

Really loved the concept and execution of Lita, serving an interesting prie fix menu (although they are changing to à la carte soon) with great options! The Tuna Crudo was a delicious first bite, and I’d absolutely say the Portuguese Shrimp is one of the best options for the second. The black cod was so soft and delicious, but the seafood rice with it was really salty. I would say all the other mains, especially the Steak, were better in my opinion. The drinks were interesting, and if you like a strong briny flavor, the Spanish martini is great. Most of their drinks are pretty strong as a warning. Service was top notch, everyone was super attentive, and I like that they cycle the chefs through front and back of house, so everyone is very knowledgeable. Overall, loved the atmosphere, very intimate and fun energy with seeing the entire kitchen working right there, and would definitely visit again!
