Gallery 48 in Dundee City

We arrived at 245, the restaurant wasn't overly busy, about 10+ free tables. The waitress arrived, explained what was sold out, then took our orders. As we were waiting we seen staff returning from the local shops with 6 tubs of cream cheese. Half an hour after we ordered, someone came out and explained that the soup we had ordered had run out. We took the alternative, although we were confused why it took 30 minutes to figure this out. At 40 minutes gone, I asked waiter why it was taking so long, he said it was it busy. It wasn't. I then was served my food, 5 minutes later I approached the desk asking what was happening with my partners food, they said they had sent someone out to the shops to get some salmon for us. We cancelled the salmon and ate what we had, as an apology from the restaurant they took the salmon off our bill(which we didn't even get). Last time we went to this restaurant we thought it was great, we won't be going back this time. Utterly shocking service, and it looks like a lot of stuff on the menu is from lidl! (the member of staff arrived back with a full bag of shopping, probably including the salmon!)

Amazing food ,lovely setting excellent and friendly staff ,highly recomend

Nice coffee and lovely ambience, love the art displayed!

Very good tapas restaurant. The food is very good and the staff is very friendly.

Lovely food, enormous quantities. Really recommend the cheese/meat platter. Very tasty. Everything comes at different times but well worth waiting for it

Very nice little place just had hot chocolate but got one best for it . Staff very friendly and good at job

Incredible food with exceptional service from all the staff. Sated caramel flat white martini is a MUST!

Drinks and food 10/10. Always get something different every time. Would definitely recommend!

Really lovely cosy spot with lovely music and atmosphere. Nice place for a lunch date or for a few drinks and nibbles.

We went last night and I've ended up with food poison

Great food and service as usual

Fabulous place. Everything about the restaurant was spot on. Best Tapas 👌 Definitely going back

Extremely disappointed with the service during our visit yesterday lunch time. We visit every year when family come to visit and I also come various times throughout the year. Normally thoroughly enjoyed and never have any complaints. From the minute I stepped foot in the door it was a disappointment. I stood waiting to be seen and shown to my table, staff all standing chatting behind the bar. When I eventually approached the bar after nobody coming over I was told “it’s that table over there” a point across the restaurant, not the usual friendly service… The rest of my party joined me and we sat for 15mins waiting for someone to come and take at least a drinks order. Again we had to approach the bar and ask someone to come over. To which we were greeted with a frosty waitress with her notepad. I have to say the food was delicious as always it’s just disappointing to be served by moody staff members. This was not just limited to one person, there were at least 3 who would all prefer to just stand round chatting. We were never approached to ask if we would like any further drinks throughout our meal. So we all only had 1 drink the whole time. Tables around us were also left uncleaned for long periods of time after diners left. We approached the bar again to ask for our bill! Surprisingly the quickest they returned to the table was straight away with the card machine. Thoroughly disappointing and I have to admit we will consider other venues over here for our next family get together.

My favourite diner in Dundee. Excellent food service was too

First visit but will be back. Food amazing 👏

Awesome place, great tapas and atmosphere. The croquettes are amazing. Go for the ham/cheese platter as well

What could have been a mediocre review was turned round by the quality of the food and the attention from Gavin. The broccoli, crab piquillo peppers and chorizo/black pudding were excellent. Gavin's knowledge of the ingredients were second to none and his passion for the food was clear. Thank you for looking after us and for the really interesting conversation Gavin.

First time visiting - fab food and great service. Will definitely be back.

Amazing food and service, can get really loud due to the acoustics when it's busy

Very busy and food wasn't as good as our last visit. Claggy tomato sauce on the meatballs and less attention to detail. Very average but decently priced. Please ask when folk book, if they are able to get on the high chairs. Some of us are not and it messes with the seating plan

Fabulous food, great service as always

Service = Class Food = Class Chat = Class Cocktails made by Nic = supercalifagilisticexpealidocious. I also heard the owner is Class! Would highly recommend.

The tapas was great and the cocktails even better. Loved the flat white espresso martini 😍

We all thought the food was excellent, could not fault it. The staff were very knowledgeable about food and cocktails and very friendly.

Fantastic tapas place, great selection of meaty, seafood or vege plates and came out quickly. Sangria was fantastic and had a lovely time. This was my second tapas experience but I feel I’ve actually been to a tapas restaurant now.

Was recommended Gallery 48 on facebook it didn’t fail to meet and exceed our expectations. Excellent food and service from Gavin. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Dundee. We each had 3 dishes, and a pudding.

Hot chocolate was lukewarm and of extremely poor consistency, far too frothy, and the richness was quite low, resulting in the drink tasting like a poorly made cup of water. 3/10

Used to love going here but it’s unfortunately went down hill, prawns with cashews very odd, meatballs with like a bland carrot purée, salad never arrived as usual until you ask for it-looks like it was forgotten like previous times, portions smaller, chicken dry and over cooked, wines list also changed and not for the better, service was good and server was knowledgeable but too many changes too probably cut cost when I’d actually happily pay more for nicer food

We went for food twice in Gallery 48 and absolutely loved it both times. We arrived late Saturday night and they still managed to fit us in before the kitchen closed, the service was exceptional, with Gavin being a real asset to the restaurant, he was amazing and very friendly and helpful, which made the experience all the better. We got the cured meat platter, the crab salad, the chicken skewers and the chorizo and black pudding tapas, everything was super tasty, especially the meat platter! Very good value for money, we were really happy with our visit and will be back whenever we pass through Dundee.

Friendly, efficient staff. Bright, airy place with a pleasant atmosphere. Food very tasty and well cooked. Great variety of tapas. Definitely be back.

Gone downhill unfortunately. Serving staff indicated on arrival that approximately half the menu was unavailable- it was only 4.30pm in the afternoon - and included most of the popular choices. The table of 6 next to us were equally disappointed. Had to request cutlery twice. Staff looked fed up - don't blame them. Sad as it used to be such a vibrant place to eat.

Wow! Went with the wife on a friend's recommendation after being disappointed by another tapas venue on the town. Fabulous sangria, excellent food, we were very happy bunnies rolling down the road. Unfortunately I did not get our server's name, but her recommendations were spot on, as was her service.

Lovely nice restaurant, super clean, really bright and airy inside, really welcoming feeling. Staff friendly and helpfull, all really cheerful. Food was amazing, good sized portions, super high quality and really nice. Really great value! The soup was superb and the tapas great. Good veggie options, plenty to choose from. Well worth a visit!

Arrived on time. Was a bit concerned about previous reviews. Service was good, food was fine but definitely not worth the money. Expensive for what you get. I had croquettes, Patatas Bravas and the prawns and a coctail. My friend had sweet potato fries, mushrooms and meatballs. They did say they all come at separate times! (Not great) but for just over £50 they sure are raking it in.

First visit to this restaurant while visiting Dundee and it was great. Food was good, staff were very friendly , service was great. There was a really nice atmosphere . Will definitely visit next time we are in Dundee

We had breakfast service was good no complaints. The food we had was really nice well presented

Food was fine, if not outstanding. Waiting staff were lovely and dealt with questions about menu items efficiently. But... The head-pounding music played the whole evening was just ridiculous. Customers wanted to talk to each other, and the only way to do it was to scream loudly over the music. Net result - pounding music volume 11, plus shouting diners. I would probably consider returning if it wasn't for my headache. If I want to reserve a table in future 0I'll ask if the music guy will be there, and if he is, I'll go elsewhere.

I went here for an anniversary dinner based on some great online recommendations. I wanted to like it more than I did. The food was lovely, however, the service was fairly chaotic. We were ran through menu, then ordered to be told they didn't have our requested order. This happened for both the food and drink. We also had to ask for the bill a few times. In short, nice food but bumpy service.

Really a nice place, nice ambient, service really good, the guys be so nice especial Louis. Crocretas de carne saben a "migas" GOAT cheese salad from another world. Pilpil really good. Meetballs, need to take a look, Guys put a little 💕 when u make the food. Iberian selection with cheese so nice as well. And they have Estrella Galicia top quality beer. I recommend this place if u want to have a Spanish experience in Dundee, Scotland.

Can't fault Gallery 48. Warm welcome, great food and drinks, very friendly staff. We loved the tapas menu and the play list too. Will definitely return.

Rubbish service, won't be back. Staff not at all helpful

Beautiful food, very reasonable prices. An excellent meal

Having visited Gallery 48 several years ago I was looking forward to visiting again. The cocktails were amazing as always, and I feel the selection has improved since my last visit. Would recommend the tropical rumbull mojito & the bramble. When it came to the food, it was mixed. Most of the food was lovely, stand outs were the gambas pil pil & the broccoli. But we waited a long time for certain items, and when the croquettes finally arrived after we had long finished the rest of the meal… they were frozen in the centre. Obviously this is disappointing as we waited, but also because it was clear they were not made in house. While this wouldn’t put me off visiting again, and the staff handled it amazingly, I do think it is worth noting.

It was our 1st time visiting! The place was packed( always a good sign)! We where greeted promptly and taken to our table. A short time later tap water was delivered( no need to ask) and a drinks order taken. As it was our 1st time they also explained the style of service. We ordered a broad selection off the menu, and can honestly say everything was delicious and served promptly by friendly staff. We then shared churros for dessert. We really did have an amazing time and would highly recommend. Gallery48 is now a firm favourite of ours.

Leckere Tapas, toller Wein und sehr nette Leute, sehr zu empfehlen.

Excellent food, great and attentive service. #1 for Dundee City Centre food and drink.

A nice Tapas restaurant near the university. Serves a yummy variety of tapas. The service is also friendly and good.

Lovely little tapas bar on the West Side of DundeeFood was really great and staff very pleasant . Must go to if you enjoy tapas

To be truthful, the food was amazing. The staff were lovely and friendly, but I honestly think if we'd just walked out without paying they wouldn't have noticed. We spent ages trying to get their attention to pay. I know they were really busy, it was graduation week at Dundee. They'd probably worked long hours for ages, and were probably tired. But turning over tables quickly (when they want to pay) means more covers and better tips. Like I say, I'd go again, they were lovely and the food was great, but the wait once we were done knocked a few stars from my review.

Food, service and atmosphere is always of the highest standard. This is the perfect place for a City Centre meal and works well for pre-theatre or pre-gig.

We've always loved Gallery 48 since it opened a few years back. However our last lunch visit 3 weeks ago was very disappointing. We ordered 4 tapas dishes as usual. The Gambas arrived first. 8 prawns swimming in oil with one minute piece of bread. At a cost of £7.95 we're talking £1 per prawn. Half an hour later the Chorizo and black pudding arrived. Again a tiny dish with a couple bits of Chorizo and black pudding on the bottom. Barely enough for one person let alone two. Patatas Bravas consisted of cubed tatties in a bowl with a bit of tomato sauce over the top. Finally after a long long wait we were served the chicken skewers. Overcooked dry and tasteless. And to top it all the two "cheapest " bottles white wine were unavailable so the waitress tried to flog me a bottle of Sauvignon at £32! A bit OTT for a Dundee restaurant. In all the years we've been coming along the menu has stayed exactly the same. Maybe needs a bit of a shake up for loyal customers to revisit in future.

This is a lovely restaurant. The atmosphere is just perfect and staff were very very friendly. The menu had something for everyone and was explained very clearly by our server. Tables were a great size for tapas and the whole place was very homely and comfortable. The food was delicious! Great selection, all of which very tasty and filling. As the restaurant got busier service did slow down considerably with wait times for some dishes nearing 25 minutes which wasn’t great. However overall a brilliant atmosphere and great staff, would 100% recommend for a unique yet familiar variety of tapas.

Our visit was a bit of a disaster. Before I start this review I would like to stress we were the only people in the restaurant at the time. Despite this fact we waited 45 minutes for some poached eggs. Deary me. On top of this, two of our orders were completely forgotten and did not arrive for another 10 minutes after the ‘staff’ identified they had made a mistake. The food was delicious when it came, but the customer service has to be questioned. Multiple drinks were spilled and communication from the staff was very patchy.

My daughter requested this restaurant when asked where she would like to go to celebrate her graduation. I’m so glad she did. With a little hiccup when we entered as our decorations hadn’t been put on table as requested. The very quickly remedied that by moving us to another table with complimentary cava and bread dips. We ordered a selection of items from tapas menu and it was absolutely first class. Kiera and Harry both had cocktails and we honestly could not fault the venue or staff. We will definitely return

Invited for lunch by friend who had an ITISON voucher, we had both eaten here several times always enjoying the food despite the on occasion patchy service, however have to say our experience this time was awful 3 tapas to share and a glass of...

Lovely tapas menu and excellent wine.

Decir que es comida española es un decir.....tienen cerveza y vino españoles pero las raciones son escasísimas y nada del otro mundo. Eso sí, el personal muy amable.

Delicious food and excellent service! I can see some of the reviews are mixed but I can honestly say we can a lovely dinner at Gsllery 48. 3 x 50year olds. Very attentive staff, food was delicious. They maybe need to work on consistency.

Gallery48 is our all time favourite place in Dundee. We had our first date here, as well as a graduation celebration. It’s the perfect place for casual and more formal plans. It can get quite busy and noisy during the evening. The tapas is great. We can recommend the catalan spinach and the prawns. The cheese and meat platter is also great. Several of our friends have approved the gin list as good as well. The actual secret though is their breakfast. They make amazing baked toasts. Savoury and sweet. S’mores toast is our go to, however the Chocolate and Cinnamon toasts are also great. You can also just have a coffee and pastry for £3 if you need to catch up on gossip with your friends. It’s also typically very empty in the morning, no need to book. For lunch or dinner you should book.

The service here was extremely slow, we sat waiting for ages while the staff stood around chatting. It eventually took them 1.5 hours to produce a cheese board. There were extra items added onto the bill. When I queried this, they explained that when we...

Visited for dinner and drinks with friends. Having had drinks here before, but not the food, I had high expectations but the tapas menu was a big let down for the price. The taste just wasn’t there with a lot of the plates. However the...

The food and staff were excellent. Very friendly and the place was buzzing. A great night

The food was good minus the chicken skewers. The service was very very poor. Nobody came and asked us how our food was. Nobody came to offer us another drink when our glasses were empty we ended up having to go up to the bar...

Wonderful, good value, good food, wonderful service, nice decor - especially in the bathrooms which are fully stocked with sanitary products/wipes which I appreciate a lot.

First visit. Great food, great staff, great buzz. Service was prompt and friendly. Tapas, but big portions. We shall be back.

Great service, delicious food. Portions are well sized. Goats cheese is delicious. One of my fave Spots in dundee

The venue is pleasant and the food is ok - some members of our party really enjoyed their meals, I found mine ordinary. Although well-cooked, my dishes were a little on the cool side. The wine was excellent. Service was very good. The restaurant has...

Often pop in for breakfast - any excuse and it opens early. Often meet friends for lunch and are trying to work our way through the menu. Everything we have had has been wonderful and the staff are so friendly

A large group of us arrived and sat at a table, a jug of water (that wasn’t enough for us all) was delivered but then no one came to ask for our order or drinks for at least 30 mins, we were about to walk...

The breakfast was good and delicious.. and definitely I will go again. good coffee. The staff were friendly but we waited for 40min to get our food. I went for brunch it wasn’t good at all. So I only recommend it for breakfast and coffee.

Went here with friends for dinner last night and had a great time. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was delicious especially the halloumi fries. Highly recommend.

10/10 service was served by Gavin Amy and juliana lovely staff amazing food fantastic cocktails

We've been a few times and it's always fantastic food. I have to compliment the staff though, they are so friendly and proactive. I dropped my knife when I was in and next thing, someone was at our table bringing over fresh cutlery without having to be asked. It's the small things that make a difference!!

Yummy breakfast at a very reasonable price - will be back 🥰 Came back - still as good x

Staff friendly , the food was good , however the sporadic , slow delivery of dishes separately was awful. I'm vegetarian and my friend had finished their food completely before mine arrived. I have been to many tapas/mezze resturants and the shared dishes all came...

WOW................ Love it, love it ❤️ love it. What a great amazing place to be. I would love to tell people that Gallery 48 is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND AWSOME. Guys, please, please just stay the way you are and don't change. Something amazing is going on. Your wine is pretty 😍 amazing. Your food is just ridiculous, the matching with cheese and meat mmmm so chilled. What a place to be. People if you see this, then please go. These guys are amazing xxxx sorry about he picture of the meat and cheese platter, it was that good I could not and forgot to take a before hahahaha 😜 excellent xxx

Good coffee and friendly service. Coffee and a pastry is good value at £3

Brilliant dinner at gallery 48 on Sunday. They did us a jug of alcohol free sangria which was amazing and all the food was delicious. My favourite as always was the patatas bravas but the prawns were fantastic also.

Great place for something a bit different at lunchtime or dinner, food really tasty, would definitely recommend a visit!

The aubergine baked with honey was I limp slice of aubergine for £4.95. The honey just added to the slimy texture. Vegetarian Croquetas (also £4.95) arrived as 3 minuscule croquettes. I suspect they were frozen and bought in bulk. They appeared to be mashed potato...

Service is always second to none and the gins are always outstanding 🥰

Visited with a friend for breakfast, we both opted for the chocolate toast, which had nutella in the middle and the cream had an orange flavour too it, which is what I feel made the dish tast even more amazing! Only thing could of had...

Popped in early doors. Very friendly service. Great menu choices. Helpful with dietary preferences. The coffee is great. Everything very reasonably priced. No steps to access. There are steps to the female toilet, not the male.

Beautiful tasty food and at a reasonable price

Lovely lively vibe on a recent Saturday night. Great staff and very tasty food. Whether you want a full meal or nibbles with wine, this is a great place. Good prices. That aubergine dish is seriously tasty!

We didn't fully know about this place until we visited on an Itison voucher. Luckily we did have a reason to go because it was so good and we would have continued to miss out on such deliciousness otherwise!

Such a joy to find a place with friendly, cheerful staff as well as amazing food. This was my first visit and definitely won't be the last. Four stars for atmosphere as it felt a little cold but that could just be me!

Soup was so thick could've put my wallpaper on the wall with it ham fatty and too sweet for my pallet not to be visiting again I'm afraid

Fun place to go for nibbles and cocktails, especially with a group of girls. Ideal for sharing tapas and a jug of sangria! The food was all very tasty, however I would only go in a large group so you’re able to try lots of...

A very special lady gave me the introduction to this little restaurant, most amazing tapas in Dundee. The food was absolutely amazing. The sangria and cocktails we had exploding with flavour, and I enjoyed every last sip. The restaurant was gleaming top to bottom, the music was smooth weather was great, the place had an amazing atmosphere. The sevice was second to none. Perfect timing between dishes, never an empty glass, Luckily, it wasn't so busy, so we got extra great sevice. Thank you so much for the service alongside the great food and company. Had the nite of my life! Thanks, Louise, beautiful, brilliant, talented.

One of the friendliest places to dine, no matter the time of day dishes are always as tasty as advertised Unique atmosphere and great vibe every visit.

First visit for lunch with friends, food was nicely presented and hot but came in a very random order. One dish arrived and was eaten slowly but still finished before any others arrived. Then 5 or so arrived in a reasonably timely way, then a final dish about 10 minutes after the table had been cleared. Would go again though

We were absolutely stuffed by the end of the meal, with delicious tapas! Consistently high standard, brought as soon as they were ready so they were fresh. The bean & chorizo stew, chorizo & wine and the goats cheese salad were particular highlights. The meat croquetas were heavy - probably wouldn't order again. The gallery has only a few prints and paintings on display, you won't spend long browsing the art, but it makes a great background. There's an amazing bar too, famous for its gins apparently. One table in the corner has comfy, cushioned chairs - get that one if you plan to stay a while, which you probably will want to do because it's so nice! Convenient for town but just at the edge of the Westport so you're away from the crowds. Worth finding your way there!

Wonderful establishment. Very polite and pleasant staff. There was a moment that we waited a very long time for soup and a sandwich, but this issue was resolved by the staff as quickly as possible, which is very nice. Liked the design of the place. Water is provided to customers free of charge. The menu is very good, the bar list is very extensive. I was a little embarrassed by the table, which lived a separate life (staggered).

I’ve been here several times over the past few months and it never disappoints. £3 coffee and croissant deal is unbeatable, and the staff are always friendly and find the time to chat. A perfect spot for brunch with some tasty baked toast and breakfast...

Lovely tapas cooked perfectly with lots of flavour. Nice atmosphere although take the blurb with tongue in cheek. Staff could do with getting off same buttock features a little bit, like just taking orders, serving and taking away rather more efficiently. But that probably goes...

We booked a table for dinner and cocktails for a Christmas night out with friends. The menu offers a wide range of tapas suitable for all dietary requirements. The food was incredible! We tried a bit of everything and it was all delicious. We ordered...

no way is this authentic tapas. overpriced - cod bites were reformed cod - 3 were about £6? meatballs were tasteless and £7 for 3 ! bread nice but a weird after taste !croquets we’re over cooked so thick on outside ie over fried !...

Lovely place with professional staff👌🏻definetly comeback

Went here for lunch whilst in Dundee, food was excellent especially the Gambas Pil Pil, the sauce was to die for. Everything was hot and beautifully served with staff very friendly and helpful. Sangria was beautiful. Apart from the weather felt I could have been...
