Fresh. Italian. Every day.

Social Monkey was created to bring people back into the heart of Aberdeen through great Italian food, warm hospitality, and a vibrant social atmosphere. Inspired by the way Italians gather around the table, we serve freshly made pasta, handcrafted pizzas, and generous sharing dishes using quality ingredients and honest flavours. Whether it’s a quick lunch, after work drinks, a family meal, or a weekend catch up with friends, Social Monkey is designed to make every visit relaxed, welcoming, and memorable.

Created by the team behind Glenhouse Aberdeen, our vision is to help revitalise Union Street by creating places where people love to eat, meet, and spend time together. As part of that commitment, we proudly collaborate with local artists, showcasing their work throughout our restaurant and providing a platform to celebrate Aberdeen’s creative community. We believe great food, inspiring spaces, and meaningful connections bring communities together and that’s what Social Monkey is all about.
