Tatha in Dundee City

Unfortunately I had a disappointing experience The thin and tasteless lentil soup radically upset my tummy and the bread served with it was bland and tasteless as well

Cannot fault the setting or the service really (we ordered at the counter). The food was what let things down, sadly, on this occasion. We paid a significant sum for just 2 small drinks and a baguette 🥖. This was with a view to sharing said baguette - which wasn't large--. The baguette was soggy and very sweet through an overly large amount of sweet chutney. It was billed as ham and cheese so the additional thick layer of chutney came a bit of a surprise! Perhaps we should have said something in hindsight but we had heard such great things about Tatha. Looking around at all the eager diners, the smiling faces and chatter they must have been doing something right!? Felt sadly let down and deflated after a great visit to the V and A which hosts the restaurant.

Afternoon Tea / late lunch. Absolutely superb. We have eaten here before and loved our experience then (request from the children - please reinstate the chicken goujons on the children's menu...apparently, 'best ever') and so came again. This time we had the special Japanese-themed Afternoon Tea. It was delicious and - like the best Japanese food, delicate in flavour, with a beautiful aesthetic. Audrey & Taylor looked after us and gave a 5* service with a warm welcome and huge patience as we navigated a mix of lunch dishes (amazing salads) and the two afternoon teas (for us but devoured by the young!). The chef is obviously very talented, with passion and flair apparent in all the food we ate. I know other reviews carp at the headline prices and I am not pretending it is cheap from a monetary perspective but, like so much in life, you get what you pay for. With that in mind we felt the value proposition - food, service, stunning view over The Tay and atmosphere was a 10/10.

Beautiful location but the kitchen needs to be a lot better. We’ve been a few times but it’s for the view, not the food. It’s poor quality and overpriced. Bit of a shame, a squandered opportunity. You wouldn’t find food this poor in an iconic building in any other European city.

The worst fish pie I’ve ever eaten. Tiny bit of salad so lacked most of stated ingredients . Nice cakes though

Great butternut+ soup and cake with coffee.

Decent price with tasty food. Friendly and welcoming staff.

Really enjoyed eating here! As a vegetarian I was so excited by how many options I had! We went for the cauliflower soup and mustard scone. Thought we would have room to get a couple of side salads too, but the soup ended up being more than enough! Not too shabby for only 7 euros!!

Really good for a museum cafe. Good food at reasonably reasonable prices. Service good, view great.

The food was just ok, but took ages to come out of the kitchen, so those eating cold food had finished by the time it arrived. It was also oddly difficult to figure out what was on offer - there was only one A4 handwritten menu with the day’s specials on, which made the already confusing service a bit difficult to navigate. Overpriced given the small portion sizes.

Overpriced. I ordered two cold salad type choices for £9. Got a spoonful of each and was then invited to spend another £1 on a few lettuce leaves. One salad had way too many large onion chunks it - spoilt the balance of the dish. I don't know what the hot drinks system is. Another customer and I waited 10 minutes for coffee and tea at a quiet time. Plenty staff but only one making the drinks. Like so much of the V&A, the space is good but better use could be made of it.

Certain food was ok but way overpriced for what it was. I had an egg salad baguette and the garnish and dressing rendered it soggy and unpalatable. Even drinks (Cans) were like 3 quid for 1.

Most enjoyable food. With a stunning view

Espresso, cakes, soup and sandwiches. Pop up cafe while the restaurant is closed.
