Bridgeview Station Restaurant in Dundee City

Didn't eat a proper meal at this place however had coffee and a cake. Stunning little place, lovely view, service was decent and the staff friendly. If I stayed locally, it certainly would be on my radar as a regular spot to grab a lunch/coffee catch up with family and friends.

Had a lovely breakfast here. Parking was simple , and the view was lovely. This was our first visit and we will certainly be back. We had a few different meals and everyone enjoyed. Service was prompt and staff were friendly :)

Lovely full Scottish breakfast, reasonably priced...nice surroundings and service was really good, would recommend

Have been a regular here over the years, but the last three times, the service has been terrible (we hoped we had been unlucky the first twice). The place appears to have too few staff for the numbers coming in (certainly over lunch). Staff appear to be stressed, which comes across in the way they interact with customers. We sat for half an hour before someone took our order, and 2 staff members told us it was someone else's role. When our order came, we reminded the server that one of the party wanted a cup of tea with their lunch. Despite another reminder to a member of staff, the tea didn't come. The food and the view are no longer enough to make me want to go back.

Food was amazing and service was great, definitely be back again soon.

The music was too loud. The food was average. Would no recommend it.

Amazing views, great food - I had the soup of the day which was cauliflower which was amazing which I had with some toasties… perfect. Will love to come again

1st visit...lovely breakfast. Friendly quick service. Great location next to the Tay.

Overpriced . And the waitress was rude

The sandwiches are ENORMOUS!!! This is their mainstay. Yet to try the rest of the menu but looking forward to it. The prices at firs glance are expensive, £8 for a sandwich, but what a sandwich!!! Get a side of parmesan fries for £3.50 and you'll not need feeding for the rest of the day. The staff are some of the friendliest I have ever encountered and are so attentive if you have a question. I'd happily give Bridgeview 10 stars if I could.

Lovely cafe with delicious breakfast

I was in for brunch yesterday with my friend who was parshily blind. When my friend asked the waitresses where the toilet was the waitresses pointed to a wall and said just through there, when I pointed out my friend was blind she carried on pointing to the wall saying in there. After we placed our order the same waitress served up out food, and she left a hot pot of tea on the corner of the table beside my friend which could have easily caused a very bad accident. After we finished what we had order I had to go looking for the waitress to ask for 2 coffees, which she brought to us and only left all the dirty dishes on the table. I eventually had to ask for the table to be cleared as I did not want my friend to knock and thing over. We will not be back to your establishment any time soon

Came in for breakfast this morning with my family, prices expensive for what you're given, a lovely place but 4 pounds for a lorne roll, which only had 1 thin slice on it that covered 2 thirds of the roll which was dry with butter on it, extra item 2 pounds per item l, dad had bacon roll 2 slices of bacon quite fatty on a dry roll he left half, again 4 pounds, coffee was nice 2.50 for a small cup that was finished before roll arrived, not our cup of tea and will be sticking to Invergowrie cafe that is very good.

Food tasty and average priced. We had 2 veggie options a pasta dish and a halloumi burger. Well prepared and nicely cooked. Service was, warm, friendly and professional. Nice view of the Tay. Planning to go back in the summer to sit out in the outdoor area. Highly recommend, remember to book as it's a busy place.

Smart place with lovely wide River views, very bright inside so particularly nice in the middle of winter. Service is efficient and business like. Food okay, pretty basic but well done and satisfying. Only real downside is that it's quite noisy, especially when busy.

Nice place for something to eat

Excellent service and home made fresh food. I'm getting my breakfast every day in their burger train 😍😋 lovely tasty coffee with fantastic view and great price 👌

Great place to grab breakfast! Breakfast is delicious, plentiful and a good price. Staff are always friendly as well and ample parking around. Can be a tad loud inside when it is busy.

Remarkably poor food, ambiance, service…. Evening Christmas menu. Firstly the food: a flat shop bought pastry case with tiny frozen prawns followed by tiny portions of cold turkey on mediocre veg (cold plate) and Tesco own brand stick toffee pub with a micro scoop of ice cream. Next ambiance: cold, bare (no table decoration/crackers, clinical lighting, empty and cold). Service: slow and disinterested - no wonder they are empty! Pricing: the on line menu shows you are overpaying (you can’t get to the £28/£35 they charge for 2/3 courses….) with no extras at all! No coffee and mince pies/ crackers/ bread even. Honestly though it wasn’t the price it was the letdown food - rest of menu: my husband had chewy steak, the fish is coley (!!). We were there on the last Friday before Christmas and it was empty - one other table!speaks volumes. Avoid

Visit here loads as I meet my uncle from the city here. Food yesterday was absolutely amazing so much I had to take half home so did my mum. Staff are amazing really attentive and always very cheerful. Wouldn’t go anywhere else when visiting Dundee. Food home cooked and fresh too x

Nice restaurant with lovely views across the Tay. Food was good, with the burgers being cooked perfectly. Service was very friendly and helpful.

Great breakfast and some of the best scrambled eggs for a long time. I needed some water to clear my windscreen and they were happy to help. The view of the railway viaduct over the Tay is fantastic.

Absolutely lovely wee restaurant, railway themed - but not in a cheesy way. Really yummy food and ever so friendly and helpful staff

Food was fantastic service was very good nice friendly staff,

Their house burger was lovely. A tidy place and the service was good. The view was also good

First time visit to meet a friend for breakfast. Good choices on the menu, reasonable prices. Staff very friendly and attentive without being overly so. Food was hot, tasty and good quality. Would definitely recommend

Lovely views, great staff, will certainly be back.

This is a great place the service is outstanding and the food to match, can't fault it. It's a must on a Saturday morning for one of the best breakfasts in town.

Friendly staff, lovely cakes and coffee

Staff are always friendly so I'm always happy to encourage a family run business you've worked hard for it around the last 20 or so years ... look after yourselves as well and have a good christmas

Had always wanted to eat here, so stopped off unexpectantly. 1st disappointment was my own fault I had assumed you ate in in the blacked out carriage. We arrived at approx 11.15am and as we were led to our table, the waiter said lunch menu dosent start until 12. Which we took to mean it was still breakfast menu- what he meant was we couldn't order a meal until 12. We gould order drinks and a cake ? Anyway as we left I went to buy 2x cans of Fanta @£2.50 each. I was quietly you'd they were cheaper next door in the old carriage take away. Very disappointed.

The cauliflower dish in a peanut sauce - best ever cauliflower dish I have had from a restaurant. The broccoli and chilli soup was delish 😋 😋 😋 😋 too.

Good spot for lunch. Acoustics make it a bit noisy and its a bit pricy. But everything was delicious.

Had a lovely meal with my family, service was excellent, would highly recommend food was perfect

The food quality, service, and view are always exceptional. This restaurant has become a favourite whenever we are in the area

Great food and great views of the river, good atmosphere and service

Nice place with freindly and efficient staff with nothing too much trouble! Ery tastey and well cooked breakfast (full Scottish), tastey coffee and tea. Will be back 1🙂

Food was lovely but £4.10 for a pint of blackcurrant and water!!! Absolutely shocking. One of the waitresses was repeatedly reprimanding I assume a new member of staff. She wasn't speaking very nicely to her! Shame as food was lovely.

Very busy but we didn't wait long. I enjoyed my steak and my son enjoyed his cheeseburger. Can't say much else about it really. Good.

Took staff 25mins before they took our order. Food served eventually then the drinks came. Also had to ask for soup spoons for the soup. People that cam in after us got there order and food before us. Don't think I'll be rushing back.

Lovely food, reasonably priced, good views, good service.

Great location. I walked there along the coastal walkway. Friendly service.

Lovely place but maybe trying to be a touch too fancy with the menu.

Lovely bright atmosphere, staff and food are lovely too

Stopped a couple of times here for breakfast going places. Lovely surroundings, great staff very attentive. Good variety on breakfast menu. Other menus available too. Do not pass even if just popping in for a coffee.

Nice fast service, beautiful views of the river Tay.

Very noisy....struggled to have a conversation. Food decent enough but burger buns were cheap and processed cheese didn't fit with homemade burgers. Staff very friendly and good service. Won't be rushing back though

Lovely place to eat. Staff were really nice and so friendly.

The lunch I had was disappointing - I had the veg platter, , the humous was grainy and tasteless, certainly no hint of coriander or lemon described on the menu. Not sure what the beetroot was marinated in, but soggy, olives also soggy, and not fresh. This was a shame as I have eaten her previously and food was good.Also do not think I metre distancing between seats being observed, it was very noisy so everyone had raised voices, and I noticed one waitress with her mask down off her nose... not good considering current positive test numbers in Dundee.

Excellent breakfast in lovely setting overlooking tay. Staff very friendly and attentive. Would recommend and great walk along the Riverside to burn off your meal

I was so glad I tried this place for breakfast instead of the hotel!! I told my business colleagues to come and join me and they were very pleased that they did.I am not one for full English breakfast but the Scottish breakfast was light and grand. You can tell the products are local!!The young lady was very attentive and very helpful and efficient. Shame I am not a local!!

Me and my friend were a wee bit late (again sorry) but the manager was still very lovely and welcoming. 10/10 that rhubarb sorbet brioche desert was absolutely banging. The blonde waitress was really lovely.

Lovely looking restaurant with good views, lots of outdoor seating of the weather is appropriate.One staff member seemed wasn’t wearing her mask properly, how can you not know it’s not covering your nose, I do not know... surely a manager should her keeping staff in check....the restaurant and toilets look to be kept very clean. We ordered our drinks and food, and various waitresses wanted to take the menu away from the table, but we insisted on keeping it as it we knew we were wanting to later order a dessert... I can’t say we weren’t suspicious that they were trying to hurry us along so they could get away from work (we know we were on the last sitting at 5pm).I ordered a steak burger with beef chilli and cheddar cheese, when it came it wasn’t what I ordered, I know as soon as I saw it, and I said that’s not chilli...The waitress tried to tell me that it was in fact chilli. I said that looks like onions to me... no no it’s chilli, it’s got chilli on it. I said it’s not what I thought I was getting, and referred back to the menu... I wanted the beef chilli and cheese... this looks like onion jam and cheese..... oh I don’t think we have that she replied! I was like right...Do you not want this? I no, it’s not what I ordered... ok I will take it back to the kitchen and will see what they can do...My husband didn’t want to start his meal without me. The waitress came back and apologised and blamed it in miscommunication! Which really added insult to injury! Not sure how beef chilli and cheese can be miscommunicated to be onion jam and cheese on my behalf.... my burger came back after 5 minutes, I said to my husband there’s no way they have redone the burger, however it looked more like what I had expected (slightly stingy on the beef chilli I must add) I started to eat the burger and realised there was no cheese on it... I got the waitress attention again, and explained there was now no cheese... she said oh has he forgotten to put the cheese on it... Getting frustrated with the situation, I asked if they could just kindly bring the cheese out for me, and would just put it on myself.... which she did and apologised... after our early dinner we ordered desserts, I ordered sweet brioche with rhubarb sorbet and creme anglais... my dessert arrived looking like a piece of toast with small scoop of sorbet on top of it, and a small dollop of poached rhubarb... there was no creme anglais... I nearly gave up and didn’t say anything, but it was dry and rhubarb tart, it was missing the sweet element, so I spoke to the waitress again and explained... after 5 minutes she returned with a small cold dish of creme anglais... Staff don’t seem understand what they are serving to customers, nor do they understand how to handle things when things are wrong! Burger gate was ridiculous! It should have been returned to the kitchen without fuss, and scraping the onion jam of the brioche bun shows a chef/kitchen staff with no pride in their work.We had a 5pm sitting and it really felt like everyone couldn’t really be bothered.When the bill arrived, it detailed onion jam and cheese on the receipt, assuming the waitress inputted the burger toppings wrongly on their Epos system from the off, and this is why the kitchen didn’t get it right... My husbands burger was fine, followed by a cheese platter, he enjoyed the cheeses.We decided the award winning chef was probably nowhere to be seen when we visited. Would we return? Probably not, good quality food when it’s right, but service was not good...

My husband and I have made two recent visits for a takeaway lunch whilst out for a walk. The tramwiches are large and excellent quality as well as being great value. I had a filled roll which was also larger than expecetd and tasted very fresh (and again great value) I believe from next week when Scotland's cafes are allowed to re open again, they will have tables and seats outside - on a good day and with the views of the river and across to Fife, I suspect it will be even busier than ususal so get there early !

COVID Takeaway Review:The premises is presently open for takeaway “tramwiches” and other snacks. Check the Facebook page or website for details.Perfectly located for a break during a walk along the Tay; we stopped for sandwiches and coffee served from the team carriage adjacent to the main restaurant. We had smoked salmon, ham hough and ploughman’s. All served in fantastic fresh artisan bread. Only £3.50 each. Our coffees were very good too. There were great looking tray bakes as well. Thoroughly recommend the walk and a stop here. The menu covers hot rolls and a variety of cooked snacks.

The best lunch I’ve had in a long time. Food couldn’t be better and a great atmosphere. Will definitely be back :)

Popped in on the off chance of a quick bite during a break in shopping. Quickly seated and order taken by attentive staff. Meals arrived quickly and were excellent. My wife and daughter had ordered filled sandwiches which were huge and very tasty. i had the local fish with potato chips also excellent and sufficient. The coffees that we had ordered did not arrive with the meals and had to remind the waitress about them. She was most apologetic and on going to pay our bill I was informed that as the coffees had been delayed we would not be charged for them along with another apology. Lesson in customer service for other places to note. If you are in Dundee this place is well worth a visit. Spotlessly clean all Covid precautions taken and lots of car parking close to the door allied with good views make this place and must.

The waiting time was so long to get my order, when my food arrived my coffee was already cold, It was a very disappointing experience!

During covid times it was great to go and have a lovely socially distant afternoon tea the staff could not have been more helpful ! I would thoroughly recommend

Having previously had an excellent dinner last year we thought we'd treat ourselves to breakfast. Friendly welcome, quick service and good value. I had a very tasty full breakfast and my partner had French toast with maple syrup which was also delicious. Will return again soon

Lovely clean restaurant with excellent views. Excellent menu, reasonably priced and food was well presented and delicious. Very good service, will be returning soon.

Planeamos tomar un desayuno en el área de Dundee mientras estábamos de camino a otro lugar y amigos recomendados aquí. Ciertamente no está en la carretera principal, pero valió la pena el desvío de 1 milla. Tuvimos un desayuno completo y un desayuno vegetariano, ambos buenos, y nos sorprendió tomar té (una taza decente cada uno) y tostadas incluidas. La mantequilla con las tostadas hubiera estado bien, pero eso es solo una observación.Muy limpio y bien organizado, ¡volveremos a llamar!

Servicio deficiente 45 minutos de espera para las bebidas que llegaron después de la comida y cuando pregunté sobre las bebidas cuando la comida comenzó a llegar, una mesera inútil me dijo que estaban 'en camino', lo que significaba otros 10 minutos: la comida para cinco llegó dos, luego uno y luego otros dos espaciados más de 15 minutos - la comida era razonable pero el servicio era como si nos estuvieran haciendo un favor - también pidieron una buena mesa para el cumpleaños y lo pusieron fuera de la cocina fuera del restaurante principal a pesar de reservar con anticipación - en general, no excelente les habría costado poco para hacer la experiencia más cálida y acogedor, no lo recomendaría, pero oye, podrías tener más suerte que nosotros

Not yet fully open but on a warm day a great place to sit by the Tay and have a snack lunch. Owner very friendly and the restaurant will be well worth visiting when it reopens with the extensions soon

Walked out here with my partner one lunchtime and enjoyed a nice lunch. Lots to choose from and service was good. Will definitely return.

Having discovered that most city centre restaurants didn’t open until 10am popped in here on way home for early breakfast. Great decision- good food and great view in lovely surroundings - we had a window seat with view of river and railway bridge.The food was delicious and well priced. Just a great way to start the day.

Great breakfast and coffee. Very reasonably priced. Lovely view of the river Will visit again the next time I am in Dundee

Great restaurant with a fantastic view. Best to book as it can be very busy. Nice menu, food and service great. I had the platter (light bite) with olives, oatcakes, mozzarella, hummus etc. Very nice. It’s a bit noisy (no fabrics to soften the voices) so if you wear a hearing aid it may be a bit overwhelming (maybe?)

Not sure why we have never heard of this place before. Best fish and chips ever and the Aberlyte beer was pretty good too. Really friendly helpful staff. We’ll be back next time we come over from Norway.

This is a quaint cafe in a location to die for, beside the River Tay and opposite the Tay Rail Bridge. The service was superb, particularly in dealing with my partner's dietary requirements, when she was able to select any combination of ingredients from the menu.My fried breakfast was excellent, not particularly big, but satisfying with some tasty bread, and our Americanos were nicely presented. Will definitely come back here.

Have been here on many occasions for light eats and main meals. Staff are excellent, food is good and not expensive. Superb views of the river Tay and bridges. Will be back.

Visited for lunch while on a short break, great service and varied menu meant for nice lunch. Fish platter and ploughman's platter both tasty and well presented. Pleasant staff and great view of the fridge and river

Regularmente la hemos ido a tomar café por la mañana durante varios años, sin embargo, nuestras últimas dos visitas han sido decepcionantes. En nuestra última visita, nos llevó casi 30 minutos conseguir dos americanos y bollos. Hoy esperamos unos 10 minutos para que una camarera tomara nuestro pedido y fue solo un contacto visual lo que la hizo venir. Después de otros 15 minutos, no había señales de que viniera café, las dos camareras parecían más interesadas en conversar entre ellas. Finalmente nos fuimos, lo que no parecía molestar a los dos de ninguna manera. Es una pena que el café y los bollos sean realmente buenos, pero la espera es demasiado larga para un café simple.

Went in with my girlfriend to get breakfast this morning. Despite only being half full, after 20 minutes still no one had even taken our order. Very disappointed as had eaten here before and it was good.Avoid this place until they can sort out their table staff to do their jobs

Following a recent visit, I have to sadly revise my earlier positive review of this restaurant. This new uninspiring menu, the quality of the produce and presentation of dishes have taken a dive. However, the waiting staff remain enthusiastic and eager to please. The location and wonderful view save the restaurant from a ‘terrible’ rating.

Burgers are fantastic , soft rolls plentiful cheese and sauce, bacon was a bit crispy on edges but not really worth any complaints as it can happen , very very happy and will definitely be making a return, Our server Susan was amazing so polite and neat, absolute credit to your establishment

Taken for lunch by a friend - the pigeon starter was perfectly cooked - wish the apple had been a bit sharper. Had the club sandwich with beef and blue cheese - big portion. The chips were overdone and a bit soggy which disappointed. Overall, a good meal and well priced.

I guess when booking for the last weekend before Christmas and there were no issues with availability that it should have set alarm bells ringing. There were only 2 other tables in use when we arrived and the people there left shortly after, leaving our table the only one in use in the restaurant.

I went here on the 12th of December at roughly 3pm with my girlfriend and mother.

We have been going to the Bridgeview for a number of years and the food has never been anything but excellent. Their soup and a sandwich combo has to be the best value in Dundee. There is never any shortage of parking spaces and it is definitely best to book - a real gem.

Not as good as last visit .We went for our annual festive get together .The actual menu was pretentious and not very appealing ,to be honest .My friends opted for the turkey which disappointed them ,it didn't look very attractive and apparently it was tough with not enough sauce to redeem it .My fish and chips were tasty and a huge portion ,but not festive as I wanted .We did get free hot drinks and were told others had also complained.My coffee was so weak and watery .A shame as we don't often get together and the food wasn't up to scratch .Probably find somewhere else next time .

This restaurant has excellent, friendly and helpful waiting staff and a nice bistro ambience but tries to serve fine dining style dishes that are totally incongruent with the establishment. My wife’s turkey and stuffing roll (much more elaborately described in the menu) was dry and quite tough and the half dozen outer leaves from Brussels sprouts scattered it were an apology for vegetables. In contrast my fish and chips from the “classic menu” was precisely what it said. Pretty average fish but at least congruent with the style of the restaurant. With an excellent location, good premises and great staff it has a lot of what it needs to be a great place to eat. Concentrate on honest bistro style food and it would be set up for success.

The food and staff are very good. Great views of the tay and the railway bridge. Free parking. Can be busy at weekends

We went here for lunch because of the good review rating. The hot food menu choices were pretty limited so I had battered fish and chips. The fish was greasy (not an uncommon problem but unappealing) and the handmade chips were overdone and also very greasy. We had to ask for vinegar and sauce to make them more palatable. The staff were surly and the decor a bit stark, and the background noise from such a room full of echoes was unpleasant too. I also got ignored st the counter when I went to pay the bill. The only nice thing was the view of the River Tay and the railway bridge. We've eaten in many cafes and restaurants across the UK and around the world, and I cannot understand why this restaurant gets such good reviews. We wont be back.

Have not been for a few weeks but seems to have gone down hill. Tables full of dirty plates. Had to ask 3 times for a dessert menu. Staff need training, this was once our favourite place to eat in Dundee. Such a shame as was once a great place.

I've eaten here in the past and really enjoyed it. This time I was disappointed by the selection and the food wasn't particularly exciting or interesting. The menu used to change often but it now feels not to have since the last time I was there a few months ago.

Visita genial como siempre. Se ve bien con algunos de los trabajos completos. El personal es fantástico y nos encanta venir por la sopa y sándwich. Solo un leve gemido son los sándwiches que solían cambiar regularmente y ahora son siempre los mismos, lo que nos hace visitar menos.

Fuimos a almorzar y casi salimos cuando la camarera fue muy grosera cuando pregunté si podíamos pedir. Nadie vino a preguntar si nuestra comida estaba bien, no lo estaba, pescado lleno de huesos y no lo comió. Lado de verduras ahogadas en mantequilla. Es una pena porque tiene una buena vista, pero eso es todo.

Me gusta la ubicación pero nunca te hacen sentir bienvenido aquí.

¡No había estado en Dundee durante años y cómo ha cambiado! Este lugar está justo al lado de Dundee del puente ferroviario Tay en Riverside Drive.

Having often gone for coffee and a scone to this restaurant, on this occasion my friend and I turned up around 3.40ish for the same. We were immediately told if we were having coffee we would have to vacate the table by 4.30. Not quite understanding why, given it was a Monday so the restaurant was not going to be serving evening meals, nor was it very busy and we couldn't imagine a sudden rush of people to take them through to closing at 6, the waitress just insisted we had to leave after an hour. When my scone arrived, it was heated and on a saucer. When I apologetically said I hadn't realised it would be heated and could I have just a cold one, and on a plate please, the waitress scooped up the scone, only to return with a solitary scone on a large dinner plate, as if to make some sort of point? And that was the service - no checking to see if we wanted any more tea or coffee or anything. We felt very unwelcome, certainly did not leave the waitress a tip, and after always meeting up at the Bridgeview Station restaurant, will now go elsewhere, be it for a mere coffee and scone, or an actual meal. Disappointing.

robust tea provided. Great menu for breakfast and lovely views. staff were excellent. All the young girls were smartly presented, smiling and very efficient. How lucky for the owners to have such great waitresses!

Absolutely fantastic fish and chips! Restaurant was a little chilly but another table mentioned it and the heating was turned up. Nice, polite staff. Was busy but we didn’t have to wait long for our food. Wasn’t offered dessert but probably just as well after the lovely plate of fish and chips we’d devoured. Beautiful view from the restaurant too.

Arrived just after one o clock on a Sunday. Very busy but had a table for two. Both had homemade burger with rooster chips. Very tasty.

Nice location with lovely views- Had a well cooked steak baguette and chips with friendly helpful staff included

While visiting Dundee we wanted a "proper" breakfast (i.e. not a bulk standard Premier Inn one).

I like this place, nice ambiance, stunning view, warm, friendly staff, good coffee, and tasty sandwich.

Lovely day having lunch with family and friends. Good food and service. Frieny welcome and good value for money. Would definitely use again

I think the Bridgeview Station is the best breakfast in Dundee. My wife & I often go there and have the full Scottish breakfast.Definitely 10/10 for both food and service.

My mum & I ordered 1 sandwiches which we shared. We got the peri peri chicken one (wouldn't recommend) and the ham with red onion jam. Oh my goodness. The latter sandwich was to die for - I've genuinely not stopped thinking about it.
