The Tayberry Restaurant in Dundee City

2 minute walk from Primark in the centre. Their menu has been well thought out showcasing the best local produce. We had braised Forfar lamb with broccoli, crispy chickpeas & radish & the heirloom tomato veloute with a black olive puff and parmesan crisp, loved the parmesan crisp. For mains we enjoyed the North Sea coley with butternut squash, kale, pumpkin seeds & hazelnut dressing & chicken supreme with torched sweetcorn, crispy polenta & pickled jalapeños. To finish, we shared a plum & walnut clafoutis with salted caramel ice cream. The food was delicious & beautifully presented. Great selection of cocktails.

Lovely meal and the staff were all excellent. Later I had reason to call them and the issue was resolved speedily. Well done and thank you very much!!

Excellent food Staff professional and friendly Wine menu good variety Would recommend this restaurant Nice dining experience

Yet another fantastic visit to the Tayberry. Staff are always so friendly and welcoming. We only came in on this occasion for bar bites and drinks and it still feels like a special occasion. We had the canapés, pickles and black pudding - all delicious, the crab canapé in particular was amazing! Would highly recommend - can’t wait to come back and try the tasting menu again.

We were a large group of 10 from different European countries and we had a wonderful time. As the person from Scotland responsible for organising the dinner I wanted to find a restaurant that made delicious food from local ingredients that showcased that I know can be found in Scotland, though not always easily. Tayberry really met the brief. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and helpful from booking and throughout. But what took the experience beyond excellence was the personal attention. One of our number wanted to join us but not to eat because of a medical condition that requires a very specialised diet. That was fine with the restaurant but it was suggested that they should get in touch with the chef to see if something could be made specially to suit. This is indeed what happened, it was a great success eliciting the comment 'I'd like to take the chef home!'. So thank you Tayberry for a lovely evening with wonderful food. As an aside I was delighted there was no cheese surcharge!

We went for a graduation celebration dinner and the staff were welcoming and efficient. The meals delicious and enjoyed by everyone. A very pleasant experience.

Another fantastic lunch at The Tayberry. 😱 The food was first class and the service excellent. Thank you so much Adam and team. You are the best. Izzy x

Staff very friendly but disappointed to see such a limited menu. Nothing like the quality we have experienced before. Disappointing so unfortunately we won’t be back.

We booked today Sunday the 9th of June for lunch. We had a voucher of £50 and we requested the table by the window. We were shown to our table and ordered drinks. We were told of the Sunday special, châteaubriand, we both chose this with starters of steak tartare & fishcakes. We both had wine and I was given a glass of complementary champagne as this was my birthday celebration. Charlotte was front of house and was very warm and welcoming along with chef who would bring dishes out. A fabulous experience. We will definitely be back as 5 star service and food.

I decided upon the 6 course tasting menu which sounded wonderful. The first 2 course were great, it quickly went downhill. I asked the manager for little ice in a cocktail, it was swamped. The 3rd course was bland and had a weird texture. The main course of monkfish, was tough and undercooked , while the vegetables overcooked. The waiter was lack lustre who didn't really have any interest. The spare tableware was not removed, drinks and course were very slow to arrive. I decided to not wait for the main to be recooked. I asked for the bill which I was charged full price while only having half of the tasting menu. I paid and left. Tayberry you let yourself down. I'll not return, a real shame,style over substance.

What a welcome addition to Dundee, our second visit and won’t be our last. We were served fresh baked rolls with hummus this time last time was garlic butter with truffle, delicious. Canapés were divine, black pudding Bon Bon, goats cheese on crostini and pate. We had the chateaubriand one of the best we have had and we like our chateaubriand. Wine was fabulous. Cannot fault the service from all the staff, the staff are a credit to the restaurant. Liam give you credit and all your staff, wishing you all much success. See you soon. X

Newly opened this is a must for fine dining! The service was impeccable and the meal was faultless. The Tayberry was formerly in Broughty Ferry but has reopened on Tay Square in Dundee, a very convenient location for the cultural quarter and tourist attractions. The same high standards are displayed here as they were at BF.

We'd been before to the Tayberry in its previous location in Broughty Ferry but it was way back in 2018 so thought it was time to revisit in its new location in the city centre next door to the Rep theatre. Three of us booked lunch on the last day of February. First impressions were good - nice contemporary decor, quality furnishings and a decent atmosphere. Our server (Melissa I think) was very welcoming and also provided excellent service throughout our meal. We opted for the four course menu with the accompanying suggested wine on the starter and main. The food was great, excellent presentation and a high standard of cooking. The wine pairings were also good though we slightly craved a third glass so would probably just order a bottle next time. Overall, a good experience and definitely one to be repeated, hopefully soon. The new location is very welcome as there are, as yet, not enough fine dining venues in Dundee city centre, so I really hope the Tayberry is successful on this site.

Amazing birthday meal on Valentine's Day. This restaurant in it's new location still has that wow factor. Menu was amazing and made it difficult to choose. Considering it had just opened the staff were keen to get everything just right. Some new staff responded well to assistance from more experienced staff. Menu offers pre theatre set menu and alacart. Something for every occasion. We opted for chateaubriand which was cooked perfectly. The presentation of each dish could not be faulted and as you eat with your eyes, this was awesome. We will definitely recommend and shall return soon.

Lovely venue and atmosphere. Great service and nice to have a quality restaurant back in Dundee. The chateaubriand was outstanding!! Relaxed and efficient service all evening, which is nice to have these days!!

In its new premises. 6 course menu - inconsistent. Volute excellent, lamb starter very fatty as was the Angus beef main. We had to return 1 as it was about 80% fat. Then they got one desert wrong. I could forgive this, but including ourselves, there were 9 customers in. The manager was very apologetic and offered reductions and some drinks. This was the 2nd day of opening in their new premises, and there is certainly room for improvement.

Now closed and taken over by new owners, hopefully service will be better, new name is sandbanks brasserie. Main complaints were regarding it is on package deals.

Fantastic find, great food. 6 course tasting menu was fantastic, pair it with the wine it's worth it. Great staff and service

This is myself and my husband’s favourite restaurant in Dundee and even surrounding areas, the food is innovative and delicious, we’ve never been dissatisfied and we’ve been many many times. I always look forward to any menu changes because I know it’ll be exciting and a real treat to the pallet, the wine pairing is always high quality fine wines. The staff go over and above to be friendly and professional. I cannot fault this restaurant in any way and considering the amount of times we’ve been and never once had a bad experience I’d say that very high praise!

Food was excellent,staff were attentive and charming. A very special meal,belated Xmas gift for my mother. Our meal was mostly fish based,and the different tastes and textures was astonishing. So lucky to have a special restaurant,to attend 👍👏💞

So firstly the staff are lovely and very good at their jobs. My daughter had an accident the morning before our lunch reservation which meant a trip to a&e and they were lovely enough to hold our table for us so we still managed to make lunch which I appreciated so much as family had travelled to go. Secondly they were amazing with my 2 year old, I've never seen her eat so much at once so 10/10 for that. The food was amazing as usual, it made my day there being a dish with mussels and wild garlic my two favourite things, amazing. And lastly the service was brilliant Alannah, Charlotte and Alex took great care of us. One of my favourite restaurants will definitely be back.

Fantastic 6 course tasting g menu. Excellent foods well presented. Service second to none. Robert J Meikle

We have visited this restaurant several times over the past few years and enjoyed the food presented to us. However today we were extremely disappointed. We were using a voucher for two mains and two glasses of wine which we had received from our daughters as a gift. We decided to include two starters at £15 each. We sat watching for over forty minutes other diners who had arrived after us receive one and two courses before our starters arrived, One of the starters consisted of two small pieces of scallop and less smoked haddock topped with pastry. It was very dry and unappetising. The chicken paupiette was too salty and the skirlie was over cooked. The only veg was two small strips of cabbage. It was not a pleasant experience and cost £ 60. We will not hurry back.

We were looking forward to lunch as we had heard so many positive reviews. The food was excellent. The flavours in the chicken dish were amazing. The only thing that let our experience down was the rather loud waitress who rattled off the "instructions" for our itison voucher rather loudly. In a small restaurant we found her quite overbearing. The food, the important factor, was outstanding 👏

On our arrival the staff were very pleasant,we booked in for lunch on an Itison voucher one course with a glass of wine ,one of our friends dosent drink wine so he asked for a beer instead but that was a no, the waitress did inform us apart from our main course it would be £15 for a starter and again for a pudding,which I thought £15 for soup !!!! rather pricey. When we arrived the restaurant wasn’t that busy but it soon filled up we did have to wait quite a while for our food,I ordered the chicken paupiette which was very tasty,my friend ordered the aged Angus beef which they thoroughly enjoyed and paid an extra £6 for,the menu was very limited,my friend asked for fries don’t do fries ,we then ordered two cheeseboards which were £30 and when it arrived I was shocked to see three slithers of cheese on each plate a few oatcakes and a small sour dough roll, no grapes some chutney and jam very disappointing and definitely not worth the money. The staff were very nice ,but he needs to remember he is not a Michelin star restaurant but he is charging Michelin star prices,it was a one off visit don’t think I would return .

This once amazing little restaurant was superb. Went yesterday for lunch (1330 hours) with an Itison Voucher (£30.00 for 2 mains and 2 house wine). We ordered 1 starter at a cost of £15.00 which was a bit excessive for what was delivered. From arriving to being served our main course was 70 minutes. I ordered the Himalayan Salted Beef (at a supplement) however it was an extremely small portion and the beef was sinewy. Half chewed remains left on my plate 😒. There appeared to be several complaints from people regarding the serving time however the staff were pleasant but just unable to cope with this lunchtime. I believe that the Itison Voucher is a bit of a con to get you there and spend your money on extra overpriced starters and desserts. Guess we will not hurry back.

Lovely, small restaurant: you need to book. On entry, the tables were beautifully set, warm, freshly baked caraway & multi-seeded rolls were served, with whipped garlic and truffle oil butter! I could have licked the butter bowl! I ordered the Tinpot Hut Marlborough white wine: lovely and reasonably priced. For starters I had a beautifully presented seashell, filled with succulent scallops, haddock, caviar and sealed in a pastry lid. Main for me was a chicken paupiette:  Chicken rolled with wild mushrooms, herbs and lots of other tasty ingredients. I just had to make room for rhubarb mille feuilles: ginger, orange and rhubarb yummy tastes. To finish, coffee and petit fours is a must: home made tablet - delicious. Great service throughout the night, lovely and leisurely meal.  Didn't feel at all rushed or had to wait, even although the restaurant was full.

Was given an Itison voucher for Xmas , 6 course tasting menu . Was a little apprehensive after reading some of the reviews on here . No need , food was impeccable , tasty and varied . The girls that served us were lovely and...

Thoroughly enjoyed the 6 course tasting menu, even although we had to share one desert between two by the end! Thanks for a great evening to all the staff

Unfortunately didn't meet expectations. Our taster menu was supposed to be a selection from the main menu. We were given salmon twice (once with mushrooms which really didn't work). The crispy oyster from the first was omitted. Overall very tastless and the plates were all...

Great value haggis special at £5 each via a voucher. Gave us an opportunity to visit this restaurant at a reasonable price point. Added in desert and drinks, so ramped up the cost. But food was tasty and service was excellent. We struck it lucky...

We had the taster menu with wine flight. I will say, it was excellent. Lovely food and matching wine worked really well. Frist class. And to top it all off, I left my phone and the Chef/Patron, Adam. Returned it to me after the service,...

Spotted this place on an internet search as we are staying nearby for a few days. Unremarkable little place down by the beach in Broughty Ferry, with seating both upstairs and downstairs in what looks like a converted house. Small tables but nicely appointed and...

excellent 3 courses good portions using the voucher scheme great value. However when booking specifically requested table for 2 in the snug area; on arrival told it was not available and placed in the main dining area which was extremely noisy with a large group...

Not our first visit, for sure the most disappointing, White wine, not chilled no apology or replacement offered so asked for ice Lamb Starter and main Pork cheek roulade , very similar to each having at least 50 % fat, too much, the remainder of...

Had lunch and have to say the service and tood was fantastic. The food is of the highest standard and the tastes were superb.

We had looked forward to our first visit but alarm bells rang with the greeting at the door and it went downhill from there. The ox cheek main was flavourless. I have had ox cheek in a few other establishments and always found it to...

Superb 6 course Taster Menu! From the warm welcome, the very knowledgeable waitress and the brilliant Taster menu, we had an enjoyable and very special lunch. The variety of Scottish foods, the unusual and successful combinations of different flavours and the variety of textures combined...

We used an Itison voucher for our first visit to the Tayberry in Broughty Ferry. I thoroughly enjoyed the market three course Lunch and it was indeed a smart choice. Parking is a challenge during the school holidays but if you are patient as we...

The food was mediocre- although our expectations were perhaps set higher than anticipated. We had a tasting menu and most of the courses were up to what was expected. First course was crab - tasty Second course was mackerel - tasted ok Third course was...

Was given a voucher for Tayberry by our son so best foot forward. Tried phoning twice to book told full. Booked online for the day/time we’d been advised was fully booked. Warm welcome on arrival seated with bread rolls caramelised onion butter already on table....

What is written in their menu about the tasting meal and wine pairing is different than what you receive, but we were still happy with our experience. Every course was delicious, and there was good quantity to each course also. The wine menu offers a...

I went here last night with an "Itison" voucher and you couldn't pay me to go back. First impressions were good. Nice location, pleasant surroundings and good views over the Tay. We were kindly informed that regrettably we should have been told sooner but the...

Me and my now fiancé visited the restaurant on 14.05.22 for what we hoped would have been a well suited meal to match the fact I had just proposed to her. However once seated we asked about the 7 course menu and if the fish...

We have dined at the tayberry many times before and can depend on a high quality experience. Firstly the attentive, knowledgeable and friendly front of house staff who naturally engaged with us all enhancing our experience. Then the food which was AMAZING 😋we mainly ate...

The staff were lovely and the food was beautiful and very well presented. My daughter treated myself and my Granddaughter. First time I have been and will definitely go back. We were seated upstairs at the window and had a lovely view of the sea....

Had a great meal yet again. Tasting menu, good variety, beautifully presented and very tasty. Good attentive service. Highly recommended!

We were seated upstairs for lunch, so we had a fantastic view over the sand dunes to the river. All of the food was beautifully presented and tasted even better. Well worth a visit.

Went last night to use a voucher my son and partner had given us for Xmas. Started off well but quickly went downhill. First 2 courses were very good, oysters then beetroot and blue cheese tart tetan. 3rd course was scallops on a scallop ragu,...

Visited this weekend with friends and each had the 6 course tasting menu using an itison voucher. By the sounds of it we had the same as other reviewers but honestly we really enjoyed it. Our table was a mix of meat eaters, vegetarian and...

Was given a present for their 5 taster menu and was looking forward to it, we were informed it was a surprise menu and were asked if there were any dietary requirements . So far so good. Went downhill from there. Ordered a bottle of...

We have visited the Tayberry before and always had good food and an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately on this occasion that wasn’t the case. We were sat in the corridor to the main restaurant which wasn’t great. We firstly ordered a bottle of Prosecco which had...

We went along to The Tayberry last night for a celebratory dinner, we chose the tasting menu with paired wines which included both red and white wines, port and a lovely tonka rum with dessert. The food was absolutely second to none, each dish was...

Had a voucher for 5 course taster menu. Must say everything was really lovely and tasty. Service was excellent. A very high standard indeed

Visited The Tayberry again tonight, what a fantastic place to eat. Great menu and all about the taste. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Good value for money.

I hate writing critical reviews so please bear that in mind. I felt that this restaurant was perhaps living on past glories (aren’t we all). Cocktails are priced at £11 each. We had the chefs tasting menu of 6 courses at a cost of £65...

We visited on valentines evening as we snagged a last minute cancellation. The food as always delicious and we had the pairing wines, do I think it’s worth the £180 per couple price tag for the set menu and pairing wines….. no. It was the...

The food was excellent! But the service wasn't! One particular member of the waiting team (possibly management) was brash, cold and plain rude, rolled her eyes when we agreed to have more drinks. I do want to add, there was a member of the waiting...

We have been using this restaurant since it opened sadly standards in all areas do not match the prices charged. We would have been better spending £80 on a meal I an other restaurant with some table wine We booked the five course tasting menus...

First visit. Enticed by itison deal. Lovely server really clear description of food. We had a set menu. I have a nut allergy. Advised when booking and on arrival. Discovered that the wild mushroom and chestnut soup had no chestnuts so was okay. When next...

I booked this restaurant for my partners birthday. We were both excited to visit having read various reviews. First course was delicious. We both opted for a shared Chateaubriand for main course. While the veg and dauphinois potatoes were lovely, the beef was appalling-large pieces...

Great taster menu and wines. Staff very friendly and attentive and all at a very reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

I am a frequent visitor to the Tayberry, but I won't be back anytime soon after a dreadful experience with the manager. I actually feel unable to return because of the shocking treatment recieved. I took my mum for dinner and we enjoyed a lovely...

So enjoyed our tasting menu tonight. Delicious food and fantastic service. Really appreciated the waiter removing his mask so I could understand him being hard of hearing. He also informed the rest of the staff which was so helpful. Thanks for a lovely experience! 🌟

Fabulous setting to catch up with friends for lunch. Delicious food with a vegetarian menu. We received good attentive service. Will return soon.

Superb evening. Food and service were great; we went for the tasting menu and every one of the courses were excellent. Will definitely be back

I am baffled by all the good reviews. We spent £140 for two and for that we got: Service: friendly, but very slow and lackadaisical. Food: nicely presented, but mostly devoid of flavour. Wine: we ordered a Picpoul and are pretty certain we were served...

So so so disappointed. Sounded marvellous. Wasn’t. Promising Mix of interesting flavours… mainly bereft of any flavour at all. Complete form over function

I visited the Tayberry restaurant on Sunday for lunch with my partner. First time visiting the restaurant. I loved everything about this fine dining experience, as food & drinks were well presented. The food was excellent. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and attentive. We...

Excellent venue and meal. Customer service great and food second to non. Lovely evening. Good menu choice and great wine list.

A fabulous meal was had tonight - a treat from my partner - a fab 5 course tasting menu with wine flights. We both thought ievery course was absolutely delicious and the waiting staff were extremely courteous and informative as well. 😋😁

We were gifted an Itison Voucher for The Tayberry and were absolutely delighted! The voucher entitled us to an Ala Carte main course lunch and a glass of wine each....but when we saw the menu we opted for starters too 😆. Wow the food was...

So disappointed with this restaurant today. Went for lunch with my husband only to discover the only fish dish on the menu (besides mussels) was monkfish with pork belly and chorizo, no good if you are a pescatarian so opted for the vegetarian option…big mistake....

Service indifferent and a wee bit incompetent. A special trip to Broughty Ferry for this. Food was fine but not worth the fuel. Much better options at The Grange and Craig Millar on my doorstep.

Lovely as always. Myself and my friend visited for the second time. The food was amazing, as was the wine. The service was fantastic and our waiter was very accommodating. Unfortunately we were sitting very close to a couple who unfairly complained several times and...

We got an upstairs table affording us great views of the Tay Estuary. The food was superb! We had Mull cheddar gratin and seared monkfish for starters then smoked chicken and cod for mains. Too full up for dessert. Service was impeccable. Can’t recommend this...

Visited as part of Itison deal for the five course tasting menu. Every course was fantastic, fresh ingredients and such good value. Service and timings between courses was excellent. I am gluten free and they catered for that really well too. Definitely be returning.

Attended on Friday for mine and my daughters birthdays .As usual great food and very attentive service.Thanks for making our birthday special

Fantastic experience-. staff couldn’t do enough to make our evening memorable. Food was amazing and setting beautiful. Thank you to all the staff

Lovely place with very friendly staff . Meal was nice and tasty . My only gripe was being charged £3.50 for bottled water when other tables were getting normal tap water. An option would have been good.

Tayberry is good but tables are too small and upstairs has no atmosphere. It's a bit austere, conversations carry and everyone looks awkward. The music was dreich and the room was cool. There's not a lot of character in the place. Pity though.

If you’re vegetarian avoid! I was absolutely stunned when my partners fish course arrived and my fish course was his MINUS THE FISH!! They actually served me his sides as my main!! It was inedible. I’m sure it accompanied the fish beautifully but who wants...

I'll say in advance, this meal wasn't for me but my Mum's birthday. My parents rarely eat out because my Dad has a long list of diet requirements and lethal allergies. Though it took quite a bit of perseverance on my part when I finally...

I just wanted to take some time to say a massive thank you to you and your team for last weekend! Both myself and my little brother are massive foodies, and I knew I had to pull something pretty special out of the bag for...

21 Feb 2021. 46th Wedding Anniversary ‘covidate’. ordered our 3 course dinner to celebrate, was not disappointed. Excellent. Food delicious. The Chateuabriand was cooked to my husbands taste which pleased me greatly ( I still cannot cook steak after all these years). Many thanks to...

Unfortunately, with Tripadvisor I have to give one star as opposed to none. I had enjoyed a perfect 70th birthday with a Zoom call with my family whilst enjoying a lovely glass or two of champagne. I expected nothing really because of the lockdown situation,...

As always the Tayberry deliveries, family meal - excellent quality and every dish was spot on. Food was well packaged and survived the 15 mile journey in perfect condition. Don’t hesitate ordering.
