One the best dining out experiences ever. Some of the tastiest dishes I've ever eaten. Have previously had tapas at San Antonio's best tapas bar. Sol y Sombra tops that by a mile. An exceptionally warm and friendly welcome, instantly felt at home. A stylish place with bags of character. Fully recommended and can't wait to go back.

I absolutely LOVED everything about Sol Y Sombre. I will get to the food in a second, it's not just about the food for me. The interior and atmosphere were warm and welcoming from the minute we opened the door. I've visited places in Spain and it really transported me back to some of the villas and restaurants I've been to in the past. On a freezing cold day in January it was the ideal place to choose for lunch with one of my favourite people. The staff were wonderful, helpful and so friendly. We both took our time with our courses and at no point felt rushed to leave. All in all a really relaxed, comfy and stress free dining experience. Now to the food... It was stunning. You may feel like you are getting tiny portions but it was just the right amount and absolutely beautiful too. I was really excited to know that it was a set menu, you rock up and let the staff know of any dietary requirements and the bring you a selection of hot and cold tapas dishes. It was refreshing not to have to make a decision about what to have or settle for something on a menu that you may not like but is the only option. It was nice having it chosen for me. I tried things I would never think to order which made the experience even better in my opinion. There wasn't a thing I didn't enjoy. I'm vegetarian and not one of the dishes brought out were bland or boring. They were packed full of flavour and beautifully presented. I still ordered dessert, which I actually couldn't finish I was so full but it was gorgeous. I'd thoroughly recommend visiting and when you do, get someone else to drive and order a jug of Sangria to yourself!! Dangerously good!!! If I could give this place and the staff more than 5 out of 5 I really would. Can't wait to visit again!

Visited here a couple of days ago really enjoyed the fact that it was a set menu and I wasn’t too sure what I was going to get, but I tell you one thing I was not disappointed in my opinion it was incredible value for money and they did not cut any corners With food from all around the globe, mainly from Spain and the Mediterranean I had an array of dishes which were fit for a King. Nothing was too much for the stuff and the gentleman welcome me. Was happy to answer any questions I had and I was a fountain of knowledge, trust me if you come here, you’ll be looked after. I also recommend the Roja wine

we were here for Christmas eve after being recommended it and I have to say I was sorely disappointed. The waiter we had wasn't Spanish and didn't have any knowledge of Spanish food or drinks. the cold tapas we were served weren't exactly exciting and didn't have that Spanish twist you would expect from a Spanish restaurant. next came the hot tapas (genuinely excited for this) wow, what a disaster! we were served soggy kebabs who looked like they'd been deep fried for 20 minutes and kept under a hotlight, soggy broccoli with what I assume were bacon bits? dry/overcooked fish which also happened to look boiled somehow the gambas were OK but seemed to be missing the white wine, instead we got chunks of chilli and a slice of lime ?! I won't mention the rest of the hots because I didn't eat to leave a long review. sadly, it was a major let down and a massive spit in the face of Spanish cuisine we will never return

Experience here was a bit mixed. We were a medium sized group. They had crammed us into such a small table that there wasn’t room for the plates. The staff didn’t help or offer solutions, just kept passing them to us to sort out. The food was good though. Restaurant was a bit on the chilly side. When it came time to pay the bill the staff wouldn’t let us split it to put on different cards, which was off putting.

Excellent selection of tapas. It is a set menu, but the waiting staff check with you whether you have any dietary requirements, and adapt what you are served accordingly. Which was fab for us, as husband likes fish and seafood, but me not so much. So we each got our smaller couple of dishes to our own taste. Great plentiful supply of food, good service and nice clean venue.

Visited a few times now, and has always been a fantastic experience. I love the concept of no menu, more time for catching up with friends instead of having to read pages of dishes, safe in the knowledge that a variety of fresh delicious food will be delivered to the table. The welcome is always warm, the vibe chilled and atmospheric, decor inviting and comfortable. Every visit has been busy and front of house do a fabulous job providing, efficient, friendly, genuine service to everyone. Absolutely delicious all round is the only way to describe the food, every single small delight that graces the table tastes like it’s been prepared with love and is bursting with authentic flavours. Great house wine. Love this place.

We were only in Dundee for a few days but decided to come here for dinner after researching places to eat.The service was great, we received a friendly welcome and although the staff were attentive, they did not hover around. Despite our food requirements (one vegetarian and the other not eating fish) the range of tapas brought out to us was very good. We were offered a selection of both hot and cold dishes and the portions were generous. Unfortunately we were too full to sample desserts but they all sounded delicious.It wasn’t the cheapest meal we could have had, but it was worth the price.

Let me start by saying the food is amazingly delicious and authentic and artistically presented. The staff are friendly and helpful. What I didn’t like is that there are no menus and no prices. There was no list of drinks or prices. We chose a jug of sangria to share and that was £20, which I wouldn’t have minded if it wasn’t 80% lemonade. It was very weak and watered down. We ordered 3 set menus for 4 of us as my younger son is 9 - there is no availability of a child’s portion. Overall, a disappointing experience.

I have recently moved back to Dundee after many years down south. I went for lunch here with my Mum, it was the first time I have been. The staff and food were exceptional, it’s definitely worth a visit. Being a set menu it’s also really quick to get the food, so great if you don’t have a lot of time, but you absolutely are not made to feel rushed out of the door. So enjoy the food, your company and when the sun is out you could be in Spain. Love it…

Sunny Broughty Ferry, tapas restaurant, st Miguel beer and Spanish waiter, closed my eyes and thought I was in Spain, did not have to covid test or self isolate on the way home, perfect!6 cold starters, 7 hot for lunch menu. They ask if you have any requests, vegetarian fish etc. I asked for Patatas brava and meatballs the rest would leave to chef. Starters were good a tasty mix , excellent bread butter, mayonnaise,cous cous, salad nuts olives etc. A Spanish cheese with quince with was very good, do not bother asking for it in local excellent cheesemonger, they do not stock it but can provide a similar cheese All good.All washed down with St Miguel.Main tapas were a prawn dish, fish Hake I think, excellent. Patatas bravas as requested and meatballs although not on today’s menu. Two huge skewers of veg, asparagus wrapped in ham.Service first class, waiter even understood my rusty Spanish.Covid protection good with Perspex screens between tables, look up for light fitting in main part of restaurant, quirky.Only complaint chairs are a bit uncomfortable, not helped by me having bad back and a rough journey on a number 5 bus to restaurant with a clutch that seemed to operate like a switch either on or off.Recommended if like us you holiday in Spain and like true tapas bars.

We tried for 2 days to get a reservation and luckily got a cancellation and managed to get one on the third night. Can see why it's constantly booked out. Food was great. Felt like I was back in Cordoba or Granada in a traditional, local tapas bar. Staff were really friendly — especially the young Venezuelan woman! Can't fault the food. Only gripe was paying for the food. We gave cash and were expecting to be given quite a bit in cash back but they assumed they were getting it as a tip. We tried to get their attention but we couldn't get a hold of anyone.

We were recommended Sol y Sombra by a friend of ours, and it didn't disappoint. Tucked down a side street in Broughty Ferry, it's about 15mins drive from the Apex hotel, Dundee, where we stayed.Its menu is based on what's available and fresh that day locally. A party of three, we went for dinner on a Thursday night at 7.30pm and it was busy with a nice atmosphere.The owner himself came over and introduced us to the restaurant and the menu, including how it worked. Essentially, you don't choose, but are provided 7 cold tapas, plus 8 hot tapas to share. Between three of us this was absolutely plenty with great choice and variety.Our favourite cold tapas were the chicken and cucumber salad, the cold fish salad, and the aioli, which was great with the crusty bread provided.Onto the hot tapas, and it was a mix of meat and seafood, alongside a couple of veg dishes. The best of these was the huge mixed meat and veg kebab skewers that were a meal in themselves. The gambas pil pil were also out of this world.We did manage dessert too, with a chocolate mousse cake, and a tarta de santiago finishing things off perfectly.The only drawback, as always with restaurants, is the cost of soft drinks, with a pint of soda water and lime coming in at £4!Beyond that small matter, we wouldn't hesitate to return the next time we're in the area!

My wife and I are holidaying in the area and asked a local where to go for an out the ordinary dining experience. Sol Y Sombra was the answer. I dropped in by and spoke with Phil, the owner who was very welcoming and very pleasant. We booked a table for 6.30pm tonight. The restaurant was quite quiet on our arrival but soon filled up. We were cordially welcomed and shown to our table. The waiter asked if this was our first Tapas experience, which it was, and explained the process in a very friendly manner. Thereafter we were served with several superbly tasting and hugely varied foods, all cooked to perfection and perfectly described to us on being delivered by the waiter to our table. We really enjoyed our meal, indeed the whole dining experience was absolutely first class. Before we left Phil the owner came to our table for a chat and although by this time the place was buzzing his taking the time to do so was a measure of how special this whole experience was. At £26.50 per head we regarded this as outstanding value for money.

First time at this restaurant but definitely won’t be our last. Best tapas we have tasted and we have been all over Spain and the Canaries. What fabulous food and so much of it. Some of the plates looked very small but in truth we struggled to finish it all. The service was excellent, checking to make sure if we had any allergies and served olives and nuts along with our drinks to keep us happy until the cold tapas arrived. This was followed by the hot tapas. It’s a set menu but apparently changes daily. We stay an hour away by car but wouldn’t think twice about travelling to eat here again. First class.

The only reason I didn’t give Sol y Sombra 7 out of 5 is because there aren’t enough circles to do so.I booked a week ahead and was only able to book a bar table near the door. However that didn’t matter. It’s a set menu and from the moment you sit down the staff are attentive and bringing olives and savoury nuts to keep you occupied. We’ve eaten tapas in Spain, Portugal, Madeira and Edinburgh and can assure you this is the Real Deal! Brilliant food arriving every 15-20 minutes.We live three hours North of Broughty Ferry and are already planning a trip round this restaurant even if it’s the same table!PS : The red was a rather fine garnache .... nothing wrong with this place.

El servicio fue excelente, nos sentamos abajo en el bar para comer y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. El servicio fue rápido y el personal fue muy amable.La comida era deliciosa y muy auténtica y realmente abundante. Una buena variedad de opciones de pescado, carne y verduras y la sangría estaba deliciosa. El ambiente era genial y sentimos que podíamos quedarnos toda la noche incluso con Covid - 19 restricciones.¡Definitivamente volveremos!

So good to see this amazing venue open again. Since our first visit almost 10 years ago the consistency of quality, service and value for money cannot be faulted. Congratulations to Phil and the team.

Sol Y Sombra opened again on Tuesday 1 Sept. We went for Lunch 1st September. All necessary precautions have been taken and done very tastefully and in keeping with the surroundings. Food was as great as before lockdown, plenty of it. Likewise service was prompt and friendly and informative. All told a very enjoyable lunch and we realise how much we had missed it during the lockdown. Welcome back Phil and Joanne.

We haven’t been for a while, obviously lockdown stopped this, but once again everything was excellent, food, service and atmosphere. I think I say this every time but it seems to always get better and improve on the last visit. Well done

We drove 85 miles to get to Broughty Ferry..meeting close family...and found this restaurant by chance. And what a find! This is the best Tapas bar/restaurant I have ever been to in decades. And will be worth driving to visit again! With 5 adults and a wee one, the set dinner menu has something for everyone. An amazing variety of dishes for starters, then even more for main course, just 2 of us managed to have enough space for a dessert! The food is simply delicious..and way better than any Tapas we've been to in the central belt of Scotland. We were lucky that a table was available, and arriving at 5.20pm, we agreed to be finished for the folk who had booked at 7pm.....so if you are coming here, book a table first!! The bar has a wide range of drinks, and they do a variety of cocktails too. With me driving, I had to give those a miss but next time, will need to arrange an overnight nearby! The restaurant is a short distance from the station, or there is parking nearby.Overall, our group were very impressed by the food and by the warm welcome and friendly service.

Was in yesterday for lunch. I have a tomato allergy and they catered to it brilliantly. Nothing was a problem and they kept my meal inclusive of what my family were having so I didn't feel I was missing out.The food was fresh, tasty, authentic and full of those favourite tapas flavours.The staff are fabulous and are doing the covid19 laws correctly however have been careful to keep the feel and ethos of the restaurant pre covid. You feel safe but not uncomfortable and it's the perfect balance.Could not recommend this restaurant highly enough!

Mr B and I have missed you! We were lucky enough to secure a lunch booking on the first day of reopening and arrived to be greeted very kindly by the staff. The restaurant was well set out for social distancing and a hand hygiene station available at the front door. The set menu was £19.50 per person and didn't disappoint with all my old favourites but tbh, as long as there's pan alioli and patatas bravas, I'm going to be happy A dessert between 3 and a lovely 'pudding' sherry rounded off a lovely experience .... see you soon!

La comida muy rica y sorprende que cualquier cosa que puedas echar de menos la tienen, toda la bebida, vinos, cervezas etc .. son procedentes de España, te puedes tomar desde una estrella Galicia a un buen vino denominación de origen. Las tapas muy rica y todo muy bien preparado, nada aceitoso ni mal cocinado. Una cosa curiosio es la fiesta de los Viernes por la noche, hacen fiesta de salsa y se reune un montón de gente a bailar, te guste o no bailar se disfruta porque se lo pasan genial y lo trasmiten.

Staying in Broughty Ferry for the first time and ate here - a little bit of authentic Spain (interior, atmosphere and food). Broughty Ferry quaint and by the sea with lots of cute wee shops and this restaurant will definitely add to the reasons for us coming back for a visit. Owner and staff evidently cared about our customer experience and my friends and I will be talking about how delicious the food was until then

Have waited a long time to visit here after being recommended it years ago! Well worth the wait! Spent a lovely couple of hours here with friends. Lively, friendly atmosphere and absolutely delicious food. As a very indecisive person, I loved the idea of a set menu where no decisions were required to be made. They still cater for your likes and dislikes though! All our plates were cleared and we all agreed it was the best alioli that we had ever tasted! Staff and owner were extremely friendly with good banter. Already looking forward to my next visit!

We chose to go here because the menu features a good choice of vegan and vegetarian tapas, as well as it having very good reviews . . . And it didn't disappoint!! The young lady serving us upstairs was friendly, helpful, passionate and knowledgeable of the dishes that she was serving us. We opted for the Set Meal which came in 2 sittings. The first was a variety of about 10 cold dishes and once our plates were all empty we got served our hot plates, which consisted of about another 5 vegan and 5 vegetarian dishes. The presentation of the tapas was beautiful and the taste was very very good. Highly recommended.

3rd year we've been coming here and the lunch menu is brilliant as ever. The owner and staff give you individual homely hospitality with great banter and food. The selection of tapas excellent for two people from various spanish regions. Book in advance as they have plenty of sittings but lots of customers. We've never done but apparently in the summer you can eat at 10pm. Its a bit of spain in the heart of the ferry. Absolutely love it. Thank you

Food was fab - catered all of our party including the vegan who LOVED her food, and accommodated the fussiest/plain eater in the world too- who tried different things and enjoyed them!! The staff are so lovely and friendly, including the owner who made the effort to talk to us and make sure everything was okay and gave us great chat and banter! Brilliant cocktails too

Me and my husband came here for the first time having been meaning to come for ages (heard good things). We really enjoyed it, staff were so friendly and approachable. Food was really really nice, I am a vegetarian and they catered for that no problem and I had lots of choice. The cold dishes particularly I really enjoyed, there was a mango and cheese salad with honey....so so good. My husband really enjoyed his meat and fish as well. Would recommend and will definitely be back. Also thought it was priced very well considering the quality.

We were greeted by very friendly staff and had very helpful waiter who explained the menu options and suggested drinks. We asked for the pescetarian set menu option and had a wonderful array of delicious dishes. The dishes were accompanied by tasy breadso we coukd mop up some of the delicious sauces. We started with cold dishes including a cous cous dish, manchego cheese, a Russian salad and a beetroot dish. The hot dishes were all So tasty. I loved the patatas bravas , the fish, the king prawns and the Spanish omlette. We enjoyed a great lunch.

Visited this restaurant for my brothers birthday lunch due to their variety of vegan options. Staff were very accommodating and explained that most regular meals could be supplemented for vegetarian and vegan options. In terms of the regular menu there was plenty of choice and despite having a picky eater amongst our party - everyone absolutely loved their meals. The £12 tapas lunch menu is absolutely worth the money (although I wouldn’t underestimate the dish sizes - 3 is definitely enough pp)!!

Spent the most wonderful evening with dear friends in this absolute Gem - Tapas , in abundance, kept being delivered all evening by the most welcoming and attentive staff - they checked our food preferences / allergies, and catered for both vegan and meat eaters with very yummy dishes. Good drinks selection and great upbeat atmosphere. Will definitely recommend to others and return. An absolute find and well worth the taxi out from Dundee .

First time here but it won’t be the last. Unlike other tapas restaurants I have been to this restaurant offers a set menu of hot and cold tapas as opposed to choosing from a menu. We weren’t too hungry and shared one between two and it was still a lot of food. Every one of the 14 or 15 dishes was excellent.

Encantadora bienvenida del personal. Muy buen entorno. Explicación detallada de todos los platos fríos y calientes que se sirven. Si hay algo que no puede o no puede comer, será reemplazado por otra cosa. Y cuando llega la comida - wow. Sabores increíbles y, aunque los platos son pequeños, siguen llegando. Le resultará difícil terminar todo. Tuvimos que conseguir una bolsa para perros para llevarla a casa. Recomiendo completamente este lugar.
