Cafe Byzantium Restaurant in Angus

This place was great, The food,the atmosphere, and very friendly and helpful staff with great service, highly recommend

This is a great family run restaurant, you always receive and warm and friendly greeting. I visited here twice during April for lunch, once with friends and once with family. The service is always attentive and friendly. The lunch menu is a light choice menu which provides an offering to suit anyone. The food is delicious too. I always enjoy the mezzi pot and friends tried the burgers, pizza and the wrap. All agreed the food was fresh and tasty. The kids on the second visit enjoyed their lunch, ending with ice cream for desert with no complaints from either of them (the flake in the ice cream was a lovely touch). Great for families and good location if you want to use the park or have a stroll around the reservoir. Well worth a visit.

Staff were great and very helpful and the food was brilliant. The meme lot was out of this world. I would highly recommend a visit as it is fantastic value for money and excellent quality.

Indoor and outdoor seating. My brother had a burger and chips, which was good but boring, the rest of us had mezi pots which were fantastic. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would certainly visit again. The park is great too.

Following our excellent visit a few weeks ago, my wife and I popped in here on a Sunday evening without a booking. We received a lovely warm greeting and shown to a table. The service was again, very good, attentive and the food was just excellent and tasty. We decided to have the Mezzo Starter between us which had a great selection and more than enough for us to share. For our mains we chose Iskenderoni for me and the Chicken Sheesh for my wife . Both meals were superb and the portion size was extremely good. The mains came with sauce, rice and salad. We can't wait to visit again. I highly recommend this restaurant and encourage you to visit, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

What a fabulous place to eat! Tucked away in Monikie Country Park, just outside Dundee, the Cafe Byzantium is truly one of Scotland's hidden gems, The food is the middle east at it's best, freshly cooked to order and served with a smile. i thoroughly recommend that you make the effort to visit - sat nav works! A lovely find - we will be back!

First time at monikie park for a few years. Lovely walks with the dog. Went to the cafe as it’s advertised as dog friendly. I sat in the covered seating area outside. There were 4 other people ,in the area, having tea and coffee. Wasn’t sure if it was table service and after waiting for 10 minutes I went to ask whether it was or you ordered inside? The lady said someone would come out, and after another 10 minutes wait, someone came out with a lunch menu. Sadly after 15 minutes wait, I gave up waiting as no one had appeared to take my order. The menu looked lovely as well, but the slow service would put me off returning.

We decided on eating out on Sunday evening and thought we would try Byzantium for a change. I contacted the restaurant to check availability and the member of staff was extremely helpful, accepted our late booking and the telephone experience was warm and friendly. There was four of us and we arrived at the restaurant, receiving a large smile and warm friendly greeting from the member of staff. We ere quickly shown to our table and provided with menus and advice about the 'special' on offer. This tuned out to be the mixed mezze, consisting os a mezze starter and a mixed grill main for two. We all decided to try the special and were not disappointed. The food was just superb. Tasty, ample portion size and this special gave each of us the opportunity to try different dishes which were available on the menu. The special came with Byzantium special sauce, which was delicious, salad and rice. The owner very kindly offered as much extra rice and sauce as we needed. I can honestly say, everyone agreed this was possibly the best meal we had enjoyed for quite some time. I would highly recommend a visit to this restaurant. The location is lovely, set within Monikie Country park where there are some nice walks to enjoy either before or after your meal. The restaurant is smart, clean, comfortable and inviting. The food offering is varied and they also offer a lunch menu and pizzas. The staff and owner were extremely attentive and the service first class. We could not fault the food and can't wait until we return.

A big thanks to Renia & her team for hosting an amazing surprise party for mum's 70th. The venue really suits to a private hire as it feels intimate but also you can host a good number inside. Also in warmer weather there is outdoor space available. As our local village restaurant, we had already sampled the food and warm customer service on many an occasion. This was so reassuring to me when planning the event and the meal exceeded expectations (with many a new customer found i believe). The communication and personal care & touches from the team definitely contributed to the smooth running of the night. And they were very receptive to any suggestions or requests from my side. Everyone left with happy bellies & happy memories. All in all a brilliant option as a private hire, as well as a cheeky takeaway or meal out with family & friends. Thank you @cafebyzantium. See you next time I am up

Having been alerted to Café Byzantium reopening for the season and wanting to expand on the usual suspects in Dundee City and Broughty Ferry, we took a spin out to Monikie Park in the afternoon and booked a table in person, before eating later on Saturday evening the 25th of March. The restaurant is spacious, well laid out and bright, with a lovely ambiance. We were warmly welcomed by the owners, who seemed pleased to see us and checked back with us to see if we were enjoying the food and experience, throughout the meal. We settled on starters of Mezze and King Prawn. Both dishes were fantastic, with the garlic and spices really standing out in the Prawn dish. The main courses chosen were Iskenderoni and Gambaroni and these were both brilliant as well. So tasty and full of flavour. All in all, it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long long time and they deserve to be full every sitting, such is the quality of their food and the charming feel of the restaurant. If you haven’t been yet, get out to see what you’ve been missing.

It was delicious 😋 first time here will be back 😁spicy not spicy 🥵 great homemade bread staff friendly and attentive😃

An excellent restaurant with delicious food and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Staff are friendly, attentive and welcoming and the location is lovely. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Went on the hunt for Mediterranean food and was pleased with what was offered at this vibrant and hospitable cafe. Me and my friends throughly enjoyed our meal and were glad of choosing this place for a quick catch up.

Highly recommend, great small family owned business with amazing food and friendly staff, the Iskenderoni was really tasty, would definitely return.

We were over the country park for a walk and spotted there was a restaurant. We took a walk around the reservoir to build up our appetite and then headed over here for some food. Husband ordered the Greek Salad with a bowl of chips which he said was delicious. I ordered an aubergine with cheese dish which was very nice also. Lots of greek style dishes on offer. Great coffee too

Food was excellent, service was great too and quite reasonably priced. Well worth going out your way to go for food.

Cafe Byzantium catered our wedding and couldn't have been more amazing. They worked with us in the weeks leading up to the day and went above and beyond to cater not just the reception meal, but post-ceremony mezze to have in the garden with a glass of champagne. Big shoutout to Fatin and Rania for the superb communication, incredible food, flexibility and for being so lovely to our guests on the day. Our friends and family could not stop talking about how great the food was - many said it was the best wedding food they've ever had (and we might sound biased, but we agree - it was delicious and there was so much variety). Byzantium even put on a bar for us, and let me say this - we got married in a village hall and there were no facilities whatsoever. Byzantium worked around this, brought their own decorations and the bar looked incredible (and really fit in with our aesthetic theme). We could not recommend them enough - they were everything we hoped for and more.

Decided to get a takeaway and soooo glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious! Authentic and really tasty. We had the Mezze to start and I had the Chicken Sheesh and my husband had the Prawn Napoli, I would highly recommend all dishes 😋...

This was perhaps my 2nd takeaway away experience and I have dined in twice also. For takeaway you collect at the restaurant and it's definitely worth it if you are needing a treat or just want to treat yourselves. It's also a very cosy atmosphere...

The food here is unreal and is in a gorgeous location. I've eaten here a few times and I have been impressed every time. The quality of the food is amazing, the food is cheap and the staff couldn't be nicer

We’ve eaten on many occasions and the food and service has been first class. A nice casual walk round the park to finish of a lovely summer evening.

A beautiful setting for beautiful food in a lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere. Whether it be a glass of wine in the courtyard with some yummy bread and humous or indoors watching the ducks waddle on by, you’ll be scrutinising which main to have as...

Ate dinner here for the first time in a while and was reminded how fantastic the food and service is. We had delicious main courses and all cleared our plates. Would 100% recommend that you visit!

Amazing food, great atmosphere, a hidden gem! Seafood is divine, amazing flavours. Steak cooked to perfection and the calamari and prawns accompanying the steak were fabulous. Best mussels I’ve ever had for a starter. As a party of eight there were no complaints. The kids...

I have visited twice and have been impressed by the integrity and quality of what’s on offer. Lovely situation and well appointed establishment.

Having dined in the restaurant just a couple of weeks ago & enjoyed a beautiful meal, both in flavour & amount. I thought I would treat myself to a carry out of the same main course with portion of hand cut chips. The main course...

Visited on a beautiful sunny day and sat outside. Food was very tasty. Lots of it too, so great value for money. Toilets were clean and indoors looked nice. Would like to come back one evening and try it.

We found this restaurant by chance . It is in a park Monikie Park and it is always amazing. We have tried most dishes on the menu and have never been dissapointed. Family run the staff are warm and friendly and nothing is too much...

3rd time at the Byzantium and yet again a fantastic meal cooked to perfection !! Great food, great people and great location.

Nice little restaurant in a stunning location. Good coffee, food and friendly staff. The pizzas are some of the best around.

For an exhilarating and satisfying outing are the words which come to mind after our visit.the food quality and the freshness our top of the list.

Great little restaurant set in the county park, even in the dark it’s close to the car park and well lit. The menu is mostly Mediterranean. Would recommend the Iskanderoni it was very tasty, barbecued chicken, lamb kofta and minute steak with rice, sauce and...

I used to go to the Byzantium when it was in the centre of Dundee...then they had the best coffee in Dundee. It was a surprize to find them now decamped out to Monikie park...The park itself is beaufitul....and the food and coffee just as...

The staff provided a wonderful late lunch for the group of teenagers who were on the high ropes course as a birthday party celebration. The homemade pizza was especially commented upon.

A must visit if you are in the area. The food is delicious with a great choice on the menu. Tasty wine too! The staff and people who run the restaurant are also great to chat to and make sure you have everything you need....

After a walk around Monikie Country Park last Sunday, my wife and I decided to pop in here for some light refreshments and to rest our feet. The first thing that struck us is that this is not the sort of 'upmarket' café that you...

Had a family meal here tonight to celebrate our son's 30th birthday. The food was so good - big portions and all 8 plates were emptied, the location in Monikie park suited us as we had a 2 year old that could run about outside...

Wonderful setting within the stunning Monikie Park. Lovely people, great food, great service. What could be more relaxing than to sit in a beautiful park with three wonderful lakes, lots of sports or just relax, have a g and t and then a superb meal?

Found by accident while on caravan holidday. When out for drive, went into country park & found this great restaurant....Very smart interior, great staff & good food...all with a lovely country park outside your window. Plenty of parking availabe for country park & restaurant users....

Hear with family and friends for the first time. Lovely place to go, staff so friendly, service was great. Prices, reasonable. Had the aubergine and halloumi to start them the Sicilian Chicken and that was amazing. It's a bit far out of town for us,...

This restaurant never disappoints the food was as beautiful as ever, staff were as kind as ever. Got to be the best restaurant in Dundee. Highly Recommend!

Great location for a 60th birthday party and hire of complete restaurant for the evening. Helpful and attentative staff and good choice of buffet style food. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic Lunch Pizzas where great and the chicken salad with nut pesto was amazing Monike country park is great and this place matches it, great decor and a chilled out atmosphere, Everything is homemade no shop bought stuff here Fantastic!!

Always a pleasure to visit the restaurant and it was again great in all aspects. Lovely decor, friendly service, great food. The menu is small and typically Mediterranean but high quality.

This place is a wonderful little find inside the grounds of Monikie `Country Park. It is nice during the winter but in the summer when they have the table furniture out in the court yard (perfect little sun trap) it is absolutely lovely. The food...

On our first visit to Cafe Byzantium I thought this would make a lovely wedding venue, the setting and the restaurant itself are lovely and to top it off the food is amazing. We have eaten here on several occasions and always had a great...

Family meal here and for once it was perfect from start to finish. Menu was interesting, food very tasty, great wine list, nice atmosphere and friendly staff

Lovely setting, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. As we only had a starter then pizza can't really comment too much, although the pizza was freshly made and hit the spot. Whilst here, we looked at the evening menu and it obviously had far more...

My wife and I arrived on Friday evening without a reservation, however, that wasn't a problem. We were made very welcome and offered a table for two looking out on Monikie Country Park. The interior is modern and nice. There was quite a few customers...

Friends took us to the restaurant last Friday. (It only opens on Friday through till Sunday). It is a bit out of the way but the extra travel is really worth it. It is small but nice tables and chairs and very welcoming. The service...

Great tasty food and great service at the Byzantium, Tiger Prawns to start followed by Sea Bass mmmmmm, topped off with Chocolate Tart. Great setting in Monikie Park. I will certainly be back.

I am a regular visitor to Byzantium and Monikie Country Park and highly recommend this restaurant for the quality and standard of the meals and friendly and attentive staff.

Great menu. Food was tremendous. Service and prices were both good. Will definitely be there again. Just inside Monikie park .lovely venue.

We were reminded about this hidden gem after reading the positive reviews in our local newspaper. Completely agree with those positive comments. My husband and I both had the mezes to start followed by Scillian chicken - both dishes were fantastic, full of flavour and...

Had the Ribeye steak and was very impressed with the quality. Staff were really nice and would definitely recommend the place to anyone.

Food as always was excellent. I had meze starter followed by Iskeneroni main which was amazing value as we had Itison vouchers. Staff are lovely and really friendly. I just wish there was still a restaurant in Dundee city centre!

I have been to Cafe Byzantium a few times now and i have to say it is amazing. The food is out of this world and the staff are very friendly. The food is also very reasonably priced. The have the best coffee i have...

Visited last night with friends. The staff were attentive, the restaurant was well filled, there was a nice ambience. I appreciated the choice of background music. The menu was good - and the food chosen by our party was thoroughly enjoyed by all. This was...

Called in recently for a coffee and possibly lunch, to discover it's a disco rather than a cafe. Awful techno type crap playing at volume as background music. Couldn't hold a conversation for the music having the effect of a wood pecker tapping your head....

had mussels ,couldn't eat them so salty ,staff did say I could change them but was of them by that time

We had an excellent meal and they were set up very well for families. I would recommend it to anyone...inside Monikie Country Park which is an excellent setting for anyone to enjoy a real coffee or hot chocolate. I will be back for an evening...

Delicious food, great atmosphere, pleasant surroundings, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Nice patio for summer eating.

With walking into the Byzantium we were greeted by not so friendly faces, who were not keen to see us. 3 children walked in after Kayaking thinking they were walking into a little cafe. However to their surprise it was a restaurant but they thought...

Visited a few weeks ago on a Saturday Night , lovely meal with good quality food and service. Will definitely be back :-)

Lunch menu over priced with little food and overpriced drinks!! Will not be a returning customer, after spending £50 i don't expect to go home hungry and neither do my kids, absolute greed and daylight robbery!!!

Have eaten here several times and never been disappointed. Nice relaxed informal atmosphere, tasty food and not too pricey. Often stop in for lunch or just a coffee when out walking the dogs at monikie park. Outdoor seating is great if the weather is fine....

Lovely restaurant with a menu to suit all tastes. Food was delicious and staff very friendly. Will definitely go back with the wider family.

Lovely meal in a beautiful setting. Food was very good and freshly prepared. Definitely worth a visit.

We have visited this restaurant many times over the past few years and are so impressed with the high quality of freshly cooked cuisine using natural ingredients. Staff are always most welcoming and the restaurant itself has a lovely warm ambience. It certainly deserves a...
