New Flavours House in Dundee City

We stumbled upon this unique cafe and werelooking in the window when a young couple outside told us we should definitely go in ! They were right. It was so welcoming. The guy who served us was so friendly. The coffee was lovely but oh my goodness the cakes were outstanding. Absolutely a treat no doubt. Such a unique place. Lovely feeling about it and we will most surely be back

My daughters booked a table as a Mother's day gift. We were fully aware that we only had an hour to enjoy the food and our get together. Upon booking the tea room my daughter informed the staff that one of the party was lactose intolerant and also needed a plant based selection of fare. They were told again over the phone about dietary needs as we had to change the booking from 5 diners to 4. We arrived on time and was told where to sit, a table directly next to the toilet. I was a bit put off by our location and the sandwiches/ cake stand was already laid out on the table, for how long before we arrived we don't know. The outside sandwiches were already drying out and crusts were curling. The butter icing on the cake slices was a bit damp. The tea room was busy with only 2 staff. Some people that arrived after us were served with tea before us. The 4 of us felt ignored and I in particular felt sorry for my daughter's s obvious embarrassment. Were we expected to just start eating without our teas and juice available? Thats part of the experience isn't it? "cuppa tea 'n' a slice o cake" Now remember, we only had 1 hour to enjoy this rare treat. There were no dairy free or plant based options or sandwiches on the table or stand We had to remind the man that this was told to them during the initial booking. 25 minutes of the alotted hour passed before we got our tea, apple juice and plate with sausage rolls etc. The dietary requirements plate was hastily thrown together ( I personally believe they forgot) with very dry falafel bites, some carrot filled filo with a sandwich filled with,.. well we still dont know what it was. Only 1 choice of cake as well for my daughter. All in all I did not enjoy our visit to the tea room and don't think we will return. Mary's tea room staff of 2 may be adequate for normal day to day running but is obviously understaffed for a Mother's day event and was not worth the money my daughter's paid. However we did manage to box up what food was left that we didn't actually have the time to consume on the premises to take home. I had to rate 1 star as that was the only ootion available for this review.

We were only in Dundee for a day or so and decided to have dinner at Piccolo at the last minute. What a fortunate choice! The restaurant is small but comfortable and tastefully decorated. My risotto was one of the most delicious I have ever had and my wife's seafood linguini was equally as good. The service was excellent and we left knowing that a subsequent visit to Dundee would see us in Piccolo.

The food was lovely and staff were super friendly.

I enjoyed a lovely meal here , cooked just right with good quality ingredients. Great customer service , very polite and friendly. Highly recommended
