Cafe Boheme brings a bit of France to Aberdeen
“Leave that for now and let’s move on,” sighed the man in charge of service at Café Bohème as he delivered our gin and tonic and handed us the wine list. He wasn’t suggesting I’d had enough, I hasten to add, though his advice could easily lead you to jump to the wrong conclusion. Let’s […]
