The Ship Inn & Waterfront Restaurant in Dundee City

Always a stop when doon the Ferry. Great wee pub - Great beer - Great food. Fantastic staff and service.

My first visit.......I will be back !!!

Treated to an early Christmas meal loved everything about it.

Excellent food for and prices are fairly priced. Service was good and very friendly staff.

Went for our work Christmas meal, food was delicious, portions were slightly too big so make sure you're hungry. Staff were lovely & friendly.

Excellent restaurant, with friendly staff and tasty food. I had the Fish pie which was so large it could have fed two people with veg on the side. Worth a visit every time when I am in the area and not to be missed.

Chicken & haggis served in small pasta type dish. Made for difficult eating. Veg barely warm and some hard. Very very noisy. Visited previously but this was extremely disappointing.

When I go to this restaurant I'm never disappointed Every thing is so fresh and well presented .Staff are excellent!

Great place to eat. Even when packed it doesn't feel too crowded by the back tables

Nice food, location and staff. We'll be back.

Wow! What a wonderful place to have lunch! Unbeatable food with impeccable service. Will be returning.

First class ingredients in a beautiful, cosy restaurant. The seafood especially is second to none. Highly recommend , I would pre book though due to it’s popularity.

Small busy cosy pub. Nice outdoor area. Good beer.

First time here for my Birthday treat from my son and daughter. It certainly wont be my last. Excellent food, friendly and efficient service. Top notch.

Classic old school bar with great beer options and food and great service. And no one asks what will happen when the tide comes in...??

Great atmosphere, super location (we just had a drink). Certainly planning more visits.

When visited the bar was very busy but still received a very good service. Worth a visit. Restaurant very busy excellent service.

Excellent tout nous a plu!!!! L'ambiance le service la cuisine et la gentillesse du personnel. On va revenir

Fantastic fish pie Reasonable price for food and wine Nice staff:)

Just excellent. Food fabulous go ,go,go .....

Good all round pub and restaurant

HAD a lovely meal on Saturday night nice meal nice staff just a pleasure 👍👍👍👍👍

Generous portions of very good food highly recommend it.Staff very pleasant, and downstairs is dog friendly.

In with friends Saturday afternoon for drinks. Very busy only one member of staff serving drinks, poor woman. So a bit of a wait for service. Well stocked but expensive.

Good food on the Broughty Ferry riverside

Good value for money bar food and they welcome dogs.

A lovely pub, fantastic food and friendly staff. The food is always gorgeous

Good food and beer.monge tout amigos

1st time visit with family restaurant was packed sat outside enjoying the summer evening watching the lifeboat on exercises got moved inside just prior to food delivered

Only went for drinks, sat outside with a nice view and a nice pint.

Just popped in for drinks alway great

Sehr leckeres Essen und angenehme Atmosphäre. Nach dem Essen lädt die Uferpromenade noch zu einem Spaziergang ein.

Echte pub waar goed voedsel en gezellige ambiance nog hoog in het vaandel staan. Mosselen zeer vers en smaakvol. Cullen Skink zeer lekker. Hele vriendelijke eigenaar.

Excellent restaurant above busy pub. The food is high quality (and the portions defeated us - try the seafood platter, just great); the decor and buzz of the restaurant give it a great atmosphere. Staff were quick and friendly. Well worth a visit but I think booking is probably a good idea.

Good food and service, there was a noisy table in when we arrived, thankfully they left later. Cullen skink was delicious and the coffee pannacota was tasty but no wobble.

Dropped in here on recomendation of a friend and was absolutely brilliant. Food was prepared with an awful lot of care and tasted absolutely amazing. Would definitely come back

Starter was good but we had ordered Salmon steaks, they were RAW in middle, asked to get it cooked, they send it out after being micro waved with nil fir presentation Complained and owner Steve was rude and failed to deal with issue. Instead simply stated not happy don’t bother come back. This is after being loyal for over 20 years. Worst meal in my living memory and pathetic customer service Don’t go there I my recommendation,,,

I have bee here for food many times but not sure about what happened today as the food was under parr. My foid was blank no seasoning very big salad ,infact ,too much and my son's tempura sea bass was not good at all . My partner likes fish and chips but it was just mediocre so dont think we'll be back soon Linda Thomson

What can I say for this place. Great food, excellent service and amazing view. Couldn't ask for something more.

The place is located front sea. With amazing view on Dundee. Food and drinks were on pair with very good pub. Enjoyed the sträck pie and the duo fish and chips. Highly recommend for a nice and lovely lunch

As so many have said about this place, it's location is great, the feel is very friendly and relaxed, and the food is great. Quality, quantity and price all excellent

Great staff, brilliant service, great food, will return 👍👍👍

I got a seafood platter. I was unable to differentiate between the taste of said seafood, and the amount was like a child's portion. Was very disappointed.

Been a while since we last had a meal out with friends here and definitely not disappointed. Meal was excellent as were the lovely views over the Tay. Staff welcoming and friendly, not over intrusive whilst serving or taking orders. Defo be back soon.

Went in for some food and a drink in the bar on a wet Tuesday lunchtime. Their Cullen Skink was just wonderful, as was the 80/-. Service was excellent. A very cosy and lovely place. 100% recommend!

Lovely views, friendly and accommodating staff, perfect food. What more can I say? Always amazing food and service here. A must visit when in Dundee or Broughty Ferry. Bar downstairs with a bar menu and then the main restaurant upstairs with a separate menu. Be sure to book though as it's a busy wee place!

Staff was nice, sat outside, great views. Glasses were a bit dirty but still usable.

Ery nice pub with great views over the tay, food looked good but just in for drinks

Dog friendly bar and very good quality food.

We got the window seat on a beautiful evening so we were half way there, then the food arrived and that completed a lovely meal out.

Good menu, food excellent, fresh produce great service, brilliant view from restaurant..

Amazing food and service. I brought my cousin and friends here and they were very impressed. If you haven't been to the restaurant yet, you should do it now.

Food expensive here and service not the quickest don't think it that good based on these facts. Nice location though and drink is great.

He says, I had the fish pie and it was tasty. Accompanying vegetables were plain and simple. Haggis pakora for starters were also yummy. But, food portions are huge, if you don't have a big appetite then go for the half portions. (Or, skip a starter!) Staff were friendly and service was quick. She says, This was a great place! Book ahead by phone to make sure you get a table. Restaurant is upstairs, bar downstairs and some outside seating. Food was great, flavoursome and well seasoned. I had salt and pepper squid and haddock risotto from the special menu. Both were generous portions and very nice. Will definitely go back and recommend to friends and family. Service was also friendly l, chatty but professional. Some might think the surroundings a little old fashioned but to be honest, the view and the food make up for that. I would have given 5 stars!

Enjoyed dinner as a party of 7 this evening. We all enjoyed some delicious food. I had the fish pie and it was the best fish pie that I have ever eaten. Service was terrific. The only slight issue was the noise and I'm afraid that that was due to our group as we had a few oldies with rubbish hearing, so we were a bit loud. Apologies to the other diners.

Lovely service, great food. Not too formal or casual and decent pricing for the quality.

Man o Man and Yum Yum. A perfect setting for a seafood lunch. Our meals were perfect and the service was outstanding as well.

Love the ship inn, my fave place The belly pork is amazing!

Popped in for a pint. Great wee pub. It was busy but staff helpful and friendly. Good choice of drinks. Not tried the food but will return

We were visiting friends who arranged for us to eat at The Ship Inn. We had a brilliant experience from the initial welcome to the point of leaving. Staff are all positive and professional with a friendly manner. We all enjoyed our meals and can recommend the fish pie; the smoked Arbroath haddock and the tempura sea bass. All of the meals were freshly produced and beautifully presented! Great views.

Wednesday night on a golf holiday . Good food good service and busy for a midweek night which suggests a good place to visit

Stopped here for some food after being in Dundee all day. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. We arrived just after they had closed the kitchen but they still whipped us up the best fish and chips I've had in a very very long time. Such fresh fish and amazing chips too. Great atmosphere in the pub and I would definitely eat here again next time I'm in this neck of the woods.

The Ship Inn is one of the finest restaurants in the city of Dundee. Situated in Broughty Ferry, close to the beach, ancient castle and esplanade, it offers a dining experience that oozes quality. First, book in advance - you can either book the restaurant upstairs (with the view) or downstairs in the bar, coz it's always popular being a small place. If you're lucky enough to have a table near the large window, you're in for a treat overlooking the Tay, and on a sunny day, it's fantastic. As to the food, quality and quantity go hand in hand. The mussels are mighty, the fish pie phenomenal and their chips are just the best. Whether seafood, meaty or any of the specials, no to mention original starters if u have a big appetite, the food is consistently brilliant, superbly cooked and tastes stunning. Service is as you'd expect and, even better, the value for money is superb. Highly recommended and then some.

Popped in with the wife, precooked a table excellent service and food was tasty...we had pensioner portions of the steak pie, which was ample for us...

Wie waren während unseres Aufenthaltes in Dundee einen Abend dort. Es wurde gerade Fussball übertragen und die Stimmung in dem Pub war ausserordentlich gut.

Good food, service and dog friendly.

River facing, very live vibrant ambience..

Great food and service, would have liked to have eaten everything on the menu! The service was great, went in with my disabled parent and the staff went out of their way to help ☺️👍👏

Lovely traditional Scottish pub

Excellent choice of dishes both meat and fish. Superb meals and very reasonably priced.

Popped in for lunch when passing through Broughty Ferry. Friendly staff, food was tasty and big portions.

Amazing food! Full of flavour and piping hot! Got a starter and main and could not fault the pork, would be coming back again!

Had a great meal, we are both disabled and the barman was brilliant at helping us be at home. Bar food, good produce, well cooked and HUGE, great value. Alas antibiotics and driving didn't allow me to check the beer, that will have to be remedied in the future.

Lovely lunch celebrating a family birthday - thoroughly enjoyed it 👍

Had a lovely lunch with friends great food friendly staff Nice to find a real pub no machines or loud music

We all loved this restaurant! The service is excellent, the food is excellent, the prices are very good for the quality and quantity of food. How refreshing to find a good all-rounder, we will be back, often!

A most enjoyable evening. The staff are very friendly, helpful and polite. Food was lovely and served in a very reasonable time.

Good food and generous portions. Fish pie is outstanding

Brilliant pub food, friendly service ☺️

Fanciest haggasis I ever tasted.

Great bar food, served by efficient staff.

Festive menu was amazing! Small space but feels very homely, amazing service and great food

Top quality food and service. They dealt fantastically with our large party of 24 covers. Food was delicious and service was excellent. We have been disappointed in the past with other venues for our Xmas nights out but this one ticked all the boxes and exceeded our expectations, I'm sure we'll be back again.

Great atmosphere and fantastic food. I can't rate highly enough.

My wife and myself visited today, absolute jewel of a place. I had the fisk and prawn combo and my wife had the Mac and cheese. Beautiful food and huge helpings, will certainly be back again if in this neck of the woods. Highly recommended 😊

Good food, great location, fantastic view from upstairs, nice staff. Highly recommended for lunch

Girls serving on a busy night were very helpful to us on a special occasion.

Nipped in for a quick half, the place was rammed (good sign) Great atmosphere, decent drink selection and fast service for such a busy night. Really enjoyed taking in all the decor as well, will be back for food and drinks next time.

Delightful restaurant, huge food portions, awesome service, brilliant ambience and utterly relaxing.

Very nice food as always. It was good to be able to get a smaller portion which is all I needed at lunch time.

My favourite pub in the ferry, great service and atmosphere

Loads of choice and another cheery barman

Excellent meal served by very friendly and attentive staff. Portion sizes huge so be hungry before you go. Would definitely recommend a visit. Great view across the Tay especially at night.

Visited with some family for a birthday. The food was great with huge portions. I had the lasagna followed by sticky toffee pudding. Couldn't fault a single part of the dinner. Especially the staff, nothing was an issue or a problem.

friendly local pub worth a visit a

Great food good variety huge portions very friendly helpful staff

Fantastic food and a fantastic location. Lovely views across Tay to Fife.

Drinks and food 😋 excellent all round.. only complaint was portion size.. far to big.. couldn't move afterwards and didn't come close to finishing.. hope to return

Food great, service great, prices great 👍

Thanks to your reviews we walked along to The Ship Inn with our old cocker spaniel. Made welcome and had their home made fish pie alongside a Puffer beer, both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal, which was very tasty 😀 . Would definitely recommend 😃
