Aberdeen’s culinary landscape is set to welcome a new entrant as Chilo’s, a purveyor of “family-style” dining, prepares to open its doors in the city centre. Signage has appeared for the new establishment located at the prominent corner of Union Street and Bon Accord Terrace, marking the brand’s first venture into Aberdeen.
The new restaurant will extend Chilo’s established presence, which includes multiple successful outlets across Glasgow, notably in areas such as Kinning Park, the West End, and Uddingston. The brand is recognised for its focus on bold flavours and freshly prepared cuisine, served from an open kitchen concept.
Chilo’s menu is primarily built around a selection of premium smashed burgers. These are crafted using grass-fed, free-range Aberdeen Angus beef, sourced directly from the UK, ensuring a commitment to local produce where possible. Complementing the burger offerings are various marinated chicken dishes and a range of house-made sauces.
The company characterises its culinary philosophy as “quality-driven,” aiming to deliver an experience described as “happiness in every bite.” This commitment extends to all food being cooked fresh to order, eschewing frozen ingredients.
