The Fishermans Tavern Restaurant in Dundee City

Excellent place. Food great and staff amazing. Brilliant base to explore the "Ferry". Thoroughly recommend

Ordered the steak 'pie' with 'Hispi' cabbage and chips. The wedge of cabbage was half the size of the plate, rock hard and stone cold. It was definitely NOT Sweetheart or Hispi cabbage but the run of the mill green variety. The PIE was not a pie but a stew, with a slice of pastry underneath and a ' LID' plonked on top, and not, as the menu describes, " encased in pastry". Please, please please,you chefs and menu compliers out there. Look at the definition of a PIE!!!. If I'd known it was not a proper, traditional stek pie, I wouldn't have ordered it. The young server agreed with me. He was delightful. Oh. The big, fat chips were scrummy and the beef was melt in the mouth.

Brilliant service, staff really friendly, happy and helpful. Food was excellent also.

Another visit to The Fishermans Tavern in Broughty Ferry, again the service was first class from booking in to checking out. Thankyou to all staff for making our visit a memorable one. Food first class, breakfast amazing, rooms clean and comfy. Cannot wait to go back.

One member of staff rude and abnoxious. Well done her. Food exceptional Thanks but no thanks. WON'T be back. My wallet acknowledges courtesy and outstanding service. Doesn't put up the rudeness and discourtesy.

Good food and nice atmosphere. Server was pleasant and helpful. 5 clean plates & 5 empty glasses and all for under £100 (just!)

Visited for lunch. Friendly staff recommended Cullen Skink soup, tried for first time, fantastic. Dirty fries also exceptional. Food really good.

I would recommend it here for a meal 11 months on I would still recommend the fisherman's but avoid the muscles (bland) and don't order the cabbage ,chips, pastry, gravy, steak - pie, listed in order of main ingredients as it should be.

We ate at the pub - Least friendly service I have ever received. Server practically threw things onto the table and said we can sit anywhere, but when we did told us that we had to clear the table in an hour. While the food was good, it wasn't worth the overall awful experience. Bathrooms were dirty and even though they only open at 12, everything was disorganized (they couldn't even tell us what the specials were for the day). Would not recommend

Always a good welcome in the fisherman’s, a lovely example of a locals pub. With so many to chose from this is an old fashioned pub. Decent food as well.

A nice old-fashioned type pub with some external seating for a nice day. The upstairs dining area has great views over the river Tay.

We had 5 lovely day's at the Fishmongers tavern the breakfasts are amazing the room was great we didn't want to leave but had to go back home today the staff were were so good and kind nothing was too much trouble Christine and I were very satisfied will go there again oh we had a big meal Thursday night it was fantastic thanks again you guys it's been a pleasure xx

Had lunch with family food great

What a lovely overnight stay, not our first and certainly not our last. Excellent ambience, super staff and great location. Room was very comfortable, and both evening meal and breakfast were just grand.

Staying one night in the area we popped in on Tuesday evening for a meal. So glad we did. Nice warm welcome and really good food. Lovely friendly staff. A big thank you to the nice lady who served our food (sorry we didn’t get her name) for the recommendations of places to visit in the area. We loved Anstruther and Elie which we visited after St Andrews. Will definitely come back for a meal if ever in the area again. Highly recommended.

Great selection of ales, an oasis in a sea of IPAs! Absolutely lovely pub, sitting areas that suit different moods & a beer garden I have never tried

I just popped in for a couple of beers, prices are good for beer and food, staff were busy but friendly. I met outside workers who were staying there who said rooms are comfortable. For a Thursday evening, the restaurant was very busy which shows that this bar/restaurant is very popular. Beach nearby too.

Amazing Pub/Restaurant, it is a must visit if you are in Broughty Ferry. The fish and chips is absolutely incredible!

One of the best pubs in the Dundee area. Have been going there off and on for 40 years, it has retained its character well.

Pub was so busy but the staff were amazing and coped really well. Didn't wait long for food or drink and it was delicious. We had the battered halloumi and it was the best I've ever had and prices were very good

We ordered the fish and chips as the signature fisherman’s tavern burger! We loved the ambience and the food was to die for! Definitely a must visit while at Broughty Ferry :)

Great food and atmosphere. Love this pub and spend a significant proportion of my life here!!!

We had an excellent bar lunch. Cullen Skink was lovely and had the most fish I've had ever had in a soup that I never made myself. Fisherman's burger with the pork belly was amazing and also huge. My wife's chicken and mushrooms pie was very tasty with a delicious sauce and a real plate full. Dessert, sticky toffee pudding & ice cream was lovely. Blackberry & Elderflower Eton Mess could not have been better. Not too sweet or sour and a great balance of meringue to cream. Excellent food and sevice with the bonus of being great value for money.

The fish & chips ever. Highly recommend!

We have eaten so many times here and NEVER had such awful food!! The service from the young waitress was lovely. The manager on duty was vile and so incredibly unprofessional. I asked for my steak to be blue and it was served stone cold! The tomatoes were laughably not as described on the menu! I was offered an alternative and I opted for the cheese toastie as this is usually so delicious ! It arrived minus the béchamel sauce and was dry. ( again not as described on the menu) We left before I even finished my Malbec and I could not of been more shocked at the response the on duty manager / supervisor gave me when I went to pay. She was extremely rude and said that the steak was asked to be blue so of course it would be cold!!! I cannot express just how upset we were with the awful food and even more so the disgusting attitude of the manager. She argued with me when I said I was not paying for the steak. I did not ask for the toastie to be removed from the bill! Overall an absolutely shocking experience at a place that we usually love to go to.

What can I say, we stumbled upon this pub/restaurant for the first time today and what a fantastic, friendly, characterful place it is. We both eat a "lot" of fish and chips, and the fish and chips we had at the Fisherman's Tavern were exceptional. Probably the best in recent years. All the staff from the kitchen to the bar were brilliant and allergies were catered for very professionally. We'll be back!

The hotel room wasn't that nice now. It was on the ground floor in the hallway, where there was also access to the kitchen. So it was a little louder there. The beds were great and the bathroom was relatively large as it was a disabled bathroom. The pub was great. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly

Good was delicious, super friendly and accommodating staff and lovely cosy decor.

Great service and food, atmosphere was good. Staff were very pleasant and they poured a very good Guinness. Location is excellent, right beside the water and easily accessible. Would go back in a heartbeat.

The food was delicious and not my first lovely meal here. But… It was bloomin’ freezing!!!! We did ask a few times about closing the door between us and the beer garden but were told it wasn’t safe to do so. I totally get that it might be inconvenient to open and close the door to serve… But we were all literally shivering! We asked the other diners in the same area and they all said they were freezing cold too. The other end of the restaurant, closer to the loos, it was perfectly cosy. Outside was a lot warmer too (but all tables were full or we would have just moved place). The Fishermans needs to tell folk it might be chilly when they book in, or stop taking bookings at that area. We were mix of ages, 8-72 and we were all sooo cold! It’s a great place and the staff are nice, but it’s definitely not reasonable to expect people to be uncomfortably cold. I’m not exaggerating, my feet still haven’t thawed out and we left 2 hours ago!

This is a lovely place to eat, the staff were so helpful and friendly, even the dogs were made to feel very welcome, the food was reasonably priced, very well presented and tasted amazing

Great place to stay at while visiting Broughty Ferry.

Great place for drinks, food and accommodation.

Second stay here. Its in a lovely place. Staff friendly. Food good.

Lovely pub with fantastic atmosphere and great food and topping that they have brilliant staff.

Great food service excellent get going you will not be disappointed

Had a lovely family meal today. Various choices chosen from the menu including two kids menu items. Food was excellent as was the service. Friendly staff Definitely worth a visit

£9.50 loaded Nachos ??? (loaded with onions and chilli ?) , don't bother. Not recommended. Four other meals were edible. Staff unresponsive to complaint about the meal. ETA Reply below is nonsense, left the table to settle the bill whilst plate was still on the table, complained and help was "sorry" . No refund

Friendly staff, brilliant food and a cosy atmosphere what more could you want

Great seafood risotto, with whole salmon fillet. Very disappointed by chicken Kiev, which was deep fried chicken with herby butter poured over rather than butter in the middle.

Near the river front. Easy to find just up from the lifeboat

Excellent service! Just pooped in for 1 but it was class!

Visited for lunch on Sunday with my wife, youngest son and dog and so glad we did! We had 3 large soft drinks, a Korean chicken burger, a vintage beef burger, a chicken and bacon ciabatta, all with fries and a portion of onion rings. Everything was delicious and nothing was left. Including tip for the very pleasant staff it came to 50 quid - what’s not to like! Lovely cosy wee pub with lots of dogs (in fact it appeared mandatory!) and a nice open fire! Will definitely be back when visiting our son in Dundee!

Popped in for a couple of drinks and pleased that there were excellent cask ales available. Comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Been a pub for nearly 200 years. They have a hotel next door converted from traditional cottages. Broughty Ferry is a lovely place and the pub is just a short stroll from the waterfront.

We stayed at the Fisherman's Tavern for our wedding anniversary, Staff and service first class. Breakfast was out of this world, a fabulous start to the day. Stayed there several times before, cannot wait to go back.

I used to like the Fish but unfortunately Belhaven are changing all their bars to a generic grey/blue paint style. Every bar looks the same now, same menus etc, which is a shame. It's not all bad, Bar staff are excellent and good selection of beers

Very tasty meal pleasant and polite staff nice open fire had a lovely visit to the pub

Good atmosphere and friendly staff.

Lovely pub hotel. Breakfast a little pricey

Just a great local meeting place.

Busy - even early evening on a dark November night - so if you are planning a visit it may be advisable to book a table. We just had a pre-meal drink - ambience good, fire burning in the hearth in the back. Cosy

Stayed her for girly weekend and it didn’t disappoint. They kept our cases for us till we met our other members from the group. It was a quirky inn the decor was really cute. The rooms were very clean and beds were comfy. Had everything we needed. Breakfast was very good and staff were very friendly. We used the garden also which was nice to sit out for drinks. Would highly recommend.

Finished off our holiday with lunch in the Fisherman’s. It was busy but staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. I would thoroughly recommend the Korean burger which was delicious. This is definitely our go to place where you can always expect a warm welcome and great food.

Arrived early for our reserved table however were told to wait for the folks who were sat at our table who weren’t booked to finish their drinks. Left us standing in the middle of a busy bar. They refused to ask the occupants to leave the table. The staff were extremely rude to us and made no effort to accommodate our reservation and had zero apologies for us

We stayed for 1 night had dinner and breakfast Food was delicious Staff were amazing especially manager and morning breakfast cook Clean and everything available in room Excellent and will be back for longer.

Nice pud staff great but.... .. food was awful. Chicken salad.. chicken tough couldn't eat it and salad had too much sauces on it salad was not fresh Chicken and nachos dreadful...good staff during day but some rude staff on at night. I wouldn't go there for food again but a beautiful cosy pub

Quaint! What a find on our tour of Scotland, a traditional style pub serving a wide selection of foods and drinks. Had lunch (both had the freshest of scottish fish) followed by ice creams. it was very busy but we did not have to wait long for our food, which was served by a fine young waitress who had an adorable smile which I like. Wished we could have stayed longer but travel plans mean't leaving this fantastic place.

Great friendly staff but yet again the food was disappointing. Served up lukewarm almost cold steak pie. The macaroni looked anemic and who are you kidding about triple cooked chips? They were still frozen in the middle. We'll stick to the Fort in future.

Warm welcome, good service, very pleasant staff member, tall guy with glasses is an asset. Food was very good, nice ambience and very comfortable ... would recommend

Always like the Fisherman’s, went for dinner with my wife. Ordered the special, chorizo, chicken and potatoes with sour cream. The wife ordered fish and chips. Just before they arrived the waiter informed me that they had no sour cream, rather than wait I said I would have it as it comes, which on arrival looked very disappointing. The three ingredients were basically all the same size (cubes, dice size). It desperately needed a sauce, not sure sour cream would have worked. As it was the waiter was very apologetic and didn’t charge me for it. The wife’s fish and chips was as always spot on

Wow..... Just wow. Everything you could want in a Hotel. Lovely clean rooms. Fantastic food. And possibly best of all fantastic staff. Out server ( both at Dinner and Breakfast) Megan was not only fantastic with delivery of produce but knowledgeable about menu etc and a real asset to the organisation. Our group ( 6) had a variety of dishes on the menu from the lovely home cooked Cullen Skink to freshly prepared Haddock and Chips and mouthwatering Sticky Toffee Pudding. Keep up the good work all.

Lovely wee place with friendly staff to stop by for drinks. We had a couple mid afternoon and decided to order the sharing nachos to try. Complete waste of money never seen nachos like them. Small amount served on a dinner plate and definitely seemed microwaved as soggy and cheap cheese sauce poured over them. Will def return for a drink but would put me off trying the food if can't even get nachos right.

As locals to Broughty Ferry we went to the Fisherman’s (The Fish) to meet another couple for a nice meal before they headed home - The young lad serving us was very polite, informative & efficient. To start the boys had the Halloumi with a chilli kick which was very nice, the girls declined a starter in favour of a dessert. For mains the boys had the sirloin steak, 1 of the girls had the chicken salad & the other the fish cakes. Both the steaks were very disappointing, lots of gristle meaning that only the very centre of the steaks were remotely edible without hurting your teeth, the triple cooked chips were ok but not really great - But to be honest the steaks at £16 a go were a let down. One of the girls had the fish cakes but reported that they were really potato cakes as there didn’t seem to be much fish in them, but the fries that came with them were good - Again disappointing. Lastly the chicken salad was reported as being good & was demolished by the other of the girls. At the end of service the young lad collected the plates & asked if everything was ok, we mentioned the above but it was only a cursory question as no-one came to ask what the problem was & this is why I am putting this review on. Sadly the girls declined pudding & just wanted to leave which we did. There are some great eatery choices in the Ferry but judging by our experience at The Fish this was not one of them - It’s a shame really as it’s a lovely pub in a great position that serves a great pint - Next visit I’ll stick to salt & vinegar or cheese & onion

We booked for a lunch for my family and we’re happy with the setting itself. Staff were friendly as always and service was good. The food was a disappointment however and for this reason we won’t be back. Fish and chips- fish was soggy and the fish itself had an aftertaste. Macaroni was “like a ready meal” according to my daughter. I don’t eat the stuff but it did look pale and bland with no cheese or crust on top. My fish cakes were ok, the salad was the best part of the meal to be honest. It’s a shame, it’s a busy pub and we have been often for drinks. Shame food was a let down.

Stayed here for 1 night. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Room was spacious as was bathroom. The window didn’t fully close which was annoying but luckily wasn’t the winter so all was fine. Tea and coffee available in the room, no biscuits though. Everything was clean and tidy. Would return.

Great little find after dog walk on the beach. Dog friendly, great staff and delicious food. Really busy with a lovely atmosphere.

We popped in this afternoon for a lunchtime bowl of soup. We both opted for the Cullen Skink. Although it tasted nice it was overly creamy for my liking. It was not short on fish but I had four large bones and hubby had one...

Great cosy pub in Broughty Ferry. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Good cask beer selection with a number of great Scottish ales. Dog friendly and the “Pupa-chino” for the dogs was a lovely touch. Decent pub food.

A lovely pub selling a good range of well kept ales. Good covid precautions being taken, although the new lighting is too bright and detracts from the previous ambience

Visited on Friday afternoon with family, staff were very friendly and informative of measures in place for social distancing - all was very clear and easy to understand. Food and drinks arrived very quickly and was great quality. Steak pie and Chicken, bacon leek pie was delicious. Very nice atmosphere next to the fireplace and still felt very much like a pub even though current restrictions prevent them from serving alcohol inside. Great job! Will return soon!

Great pub grub famous for its massive "big fish n chips" crispy batter bone free tasty fish a big hit although the tartare sauce lacks bite. Pleasant ambience very attentive staff covid sensitive and by the way it's in broughty ferry not dundee.
