The West House in Dundee City

Meal was mediocre. Tried to charge us for 2 bottles of wine and blamed her tablet for making the mistake. Don't think I'd go back.

I found this restaurant on the ‘find me GF app’ and wow, the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had. We were served by a lovely blonde lady who was so lovely and really reassuring asking if I was coeliac when ordering. I highly recommend the West House & look forward to returning in the future :)

In the interest of transparency I'm rating the atmosphere based on the food as we didn't sit in however the service and speed was great, food quality was also excellent, probably the second best gluten free pizza we have had. Give it a go.

Amazing food & drink, attentive staff topped off with a lovely atmosphere. This wee gem of a cafe come restaurant is a must visit if you are staying in Dundee. 😍 Booking highly recommended as there were a few turned away while we were there. We were staying at the Central Travelodge and looking for breakfast. It is a little expensive but very much worth every penny. We had two breakfasts with drinks (see pics 😋) and it cost £26.40. If we stayed in Dundee we would definitely return. Thank you West House for a lovely experience. 😎

We were recommended this place by a friend of ours and it certainly was a great recommendation! There are plenty of seating options and the atmosphere is great! I got the Scottish Breakfast and everything was delicious - I adored the presentation and how it comes in a massive skillet! Can’t wait to come back agin!

Visiting Dundee with grand daughter happened on this place for lunch, absolutely excellent, having spent some time in Italy this is the best Pizza I've had, my grand daughter agreed staff were great would highly recommend it.

The cranachan dessert is light, fruity, and topped with whipped cream and oats.

Had a lovely breakfast with the family this morning Muffins poached n haggis in hollandaise creamy sauce was so scrummy and very well presented Great service and good value for money

Starters were nice, however, the pastas were god awful. Not sure where the chef learned to cook pasta, but by far the worst bowl of pasta I’ve tried. No seasoning, mushy over cooked slop no flavour…crap. Had better from a tin. Complaint dealt with sufficiently by front of house which was nice. I doubt I would come back in a hurry.

Excellent food, service was impeccable, I'm on crutches just now and they were so helpful.

If you want a great pasta or pizza, definitely have a look at this place. Open till 1 am and with some great service! Cocktail bar and a good kitchen, what more do you want?!

Great food, service and cocktails. Slightly more expensive but they make up for it with seemingly high quality ingredients and great food!

Amazing restaurant, ticks all the boxes

Looking for somewhere to have dinner on a Monday evening in Dundee, we came across the West House. Warm welcome, tasteful decoration and more than adequate food. We had a very tasty board to share. I recommend.

Love this pub. Food is always good and venue is spotless ❤ Staff lovely too

Came in for breakfast. The option I chose wasn't available and had a long wait for the dishes we ordered. That would be my only complaint. V friendly staff, food was nice when it came and coffee also good. Will defo come back 👍🏼

First time visit. Decent food, chilled morning vibe and friendly service.

Service was amazing. The bartenders were all very funny, professional and very approachable. The food was outstanding and the chef is clearly over qualified.

Mediocre avocado on toast with coffee = £13.50. Rip off. Wouldn’t recommend at all for vegans unless you’re happy subsidising the better food for everyone else. You’d be far better going around the corner, getting a nice loaf and doing it yourself!

Can't wait to get back here. Our regular Dundee cafe was closed, so we gave this place a try, amazing food, so tasty! Thank you!

We went for a family brunch here. The food took 45 minutes and when we asked the staff they behaved as if we were being a nuisance, they didn't check on the table and completely ignored all niceties when paying. Very strange. Food is not so great either. It's a great place for cocktails in the evening but as a restaurant far from it.

Nice restaurant. Service was good. Unfortunately had a disappointing experience with the food. Ordered the BBQ pizza and it came with red onion, which I have an intolerance to, even though it wasn't listed as a topping for that pizza on the menu. Didn't really have time to wait for it to be remade so just had to pick the onions out which wasn't ideal. May have just been a mistake on the side of the kitchen staff as including additional pizza toppings isn't something I've experienced anywhere else before, but it was certainly unwelcome. EDIT 25/7/24 in response to owner comment: Thank you for your response Lauren. I had to double check just in case I was mistaken as I don't want to be leaving inaccurate reviews, but the red onion was definitely not listed as an ingredient. Please see the image I have attached, which I've taken from the menu which is available on your website.

We always really enjoy the food and service here. Today was no exception, would recommend the french toast.

Great pizzas, good staff and busy atmosphere. We were staying the Hilton opposite so very convenient. Would definitely recommend.

Stumbled across this wonderful cafe serving gf pizza and pasta using the find me gluten free app. It was very busy so we had a wee wait but it was well worth it for the absolutely delicious gluten free and dairy free half pizza I enjoyed with a small bowl of sweet potato, carrot and butternut squash soup. Only £10.75. It's the best gluten free pizza I've had in the ten years I've not been able to eat gluten. Staff are very friendly. Music was very loud and difficult to have a conversation when we first arrived as people were speaking loudly to be heard but by the end of the meal some people had left and the music was quieter so it was a lovely relaxing ambience and able to have a conversation.

Our daughter attends University in Dundee so when we visited her recently she suggested we try this place out. All 5 of us were immediately impressed by the welcoming staff and a food menu that also allowed you to split a pizza with a cup of soup or wedges for example. Ideal for our youngest. Everything was served quickly including the drinks. So all in all a nice experience. We will come back the next time we visit our daughter.

Delicious prawn pasta with friendly staff. Worth a visit.

Food, cocktails, service all 10/10. Been twice in a week. Will be bringing everyone here.

This has become my grandmother’s and my go-to place for a pre-theatre dinner. The menu has plenty of variety, and you get quality food without feeling like your having a stuffy restaurant experience, the space is so airy. The staff are really friendly and eager to help, even when I had tricky questions. Our favourites include the pancakes and the Hawaiian pizza. My only criticism is that the wedges are overpowered with pepper and don’t have much flavour apart from that. When booking I recommend asking for a lower table if you need one - you will probably get that by default if you are eating but the barstools aren’t for everyone.

First time we have been here. Loved this place. Lovely food, fantastic service and reasonable prices. Will definitely be going back at some point. Extremely friendly staff and a lovely place to 'chill' whilst waiting for our car MOT to be completed nearby

We went there as a dog-friendly place to eat. The food was ok; however, we waited for 45min for our food to arrive which was pizza, and another 45min for pudding which was waffles with Nutella. It is one of the slowest services we have ever experienced, and considering the food is pretty basic (sandwiches, salads and pizza) and should be quick to make, and the restaurant small, I am very surprised they haven't gone bust yet. Staff looked like they couldn't care less whether you were there or not. We will certainly not be going back.

Was in town for my birthday. Never dined here before so went there based on the reviews. Told quality food, wait times for food very quick, excellent service by the staff, atmosphere very happy. Very reasonable cost wise. Def would recommend and would def come back next time I'm in town.im vegetarian so happy to see menu had plenty of vegetarian and vegan options available. Also allergens clearly labelled.

Had the ciabatta and wedges for lunch. The only issue I had is that the potato wedges are obviously cooked beforehand and re fried when ordered because it's so busy. You can tell as they were overcooked and oily. Apart from this it was nice

Lovely little place we just randomly found and popped in. Sitted straight away and staff where very helpful and friendly especially when a glass got spilled on the table they helped clean it up without hesitation. Food arrived very quickly and was beautiful. Absolute must visit if in the area.

Great place for breakfast, delicious food and coffee.

Didnt have food just popped in for a drink after eating next door. It was busy for a Sunday night we had a few cocktails which were nice and reasonable priced. Staff were pleasant

Fantastic location for family birthday brunch. The selection of food catered for all dietary requirements for adults and kids and was totally delicious. Service was friendly and helpful and the prices were really reasonable. We will definitely be back!

Sizeable portions Attentive, cheery staff. Quite busy. Music a bit loud for a Friday mid afternoon

Had full breakfast was served in a frying pan was a nice touch and great presentation. Hot chocolate was nice. Staff were fine. Could do with music on or if so volume up a little. Only issue was butter was solid so couldn't use.

First time visiting here with a friend for tea. Luvly friendly welcome from staff and bar staff, we njoyed a luvly bottle of Pinot Grigio, and ordered Pizzas, a Diavola (Italian Pepperoni, mozzarella and chillies) and a La Carne (pepperoni, chicken and mozzarella) both were delicious, tasty thin crust base and loads of toppings. Best pizza I've had in a long while. It's a bright, spacious bar, with a friendly atmosphere, we will return, I highly recommend a visit here . :) :)

Really great experience. Delicious food, Nice atmosphere and the women who served us was so kind!! Will definitely come back soon.

Quick service and turnaround. Fresh tasty food. Family of 4 adults. Lovely thin pizzas homemade dough ; ciabbata with halloumi and wedges. Delicious.

Stopped in for a coffee - very good. Didn't have food.

Lovely food as always.Great little bar with nice pizza/pasta.

Stopped for dinner without a booking on a busy Sunday night and we were made very welcome, a table was found for us after a short wait, both pizza and cocktails were delicious. Dog friendly to boot.

Food was Brilliant,Cocktails Were even better.

Best tuna melt ever! Accompanied by a really nice homemade sweet potato and carrot soup. I wish I had photographed it before it was demolished. Hubby had BLT and wedges also great. Full bar warm and friendly great service

Had the bruschetta. To die for enough as a share. Place is small but very under rated staff are exceptional and attentive. Will definitely come again. Food is fantastic

Serve a pizza with the edge visibly charred... pitch black... 5 to 10 minutes later, another pizza is served with the edges burned again. just the same pizza, but the bad edges have been polished away. The pizzas on the table next to me are not burned. Too bad because the taste was quite good.

Small but lovely always busy, better booking table.

Nice wee place! Wonderful brunch selection! I got the 3 egg omelette with black pudding chilli and I added sun-dried tomatoes! Really nice, pleasant staff, section of alcohol on offer! Would go back!

Good quality food at a reasonable price, we went for lunch the food was good quality and service quick considering it was busy, my kids had a cheese and tomato pizza which looked lovely I had the spinata ciabatta and soup which again was great, the coffee was also brilliant, will definitely be back

The coolest wee bar. Food great, good service and cool music.

Great thin and crispy pizza 🍕 and they had no problem doing a cheeseless one for hubby. Speedy attention from all staff and food arrived quickly too. Here on a Weds at about 7, and was filling up as we left. Oh and background music just right for conversation too.

Food ( pizza) delicious and do try the 'peach' beer ! A dog friendly place too. Staff are good.

Cocktails good but the staff need more training - bar not busy and staff standing behind the bar when tables needed cleaned - and when prompted only cleaned half the table - staff need training - your customers are why you are here - do better !!

First and last visit here. We had a table booked for 11am, we waited an hour for our food, no apology or no one told us it was going to be a bit of a wait. I understand you can get busy days and can be understaffed but no one thought to mention this to us. We were well finished our drinks before our food came out. The 3 friends I was with got their food and almost finished there’s before mine came out. Again no apology at all. The food was average and overpriced in my opinion. And when our bill was being paid the staff didn’t even ask “how was your meal” worst customer service I have experienced. I will not be recommending this place and I will never step foot in this place again

My daughter couldn’t wait to visit the west house for breakfast. Having seeing pictures from her friends snapchats she thought the pancakes and waffles smothered with Nutella looked to die for. We visited one day to be turned away as they were fully booked… wow!! This place must be amazing… We booked for following weekend and were excited to try out this popular menu. After arriving we were seated and provided water, ordered hot chocolate and coffee which arrived quickly and tasted on point. Delicious! We also ordered our food and then proceeded to wait over one hour on an uncomfortable stool for breakfast… not once were we approached to ask or advised if we were able to wait this long. Once the food arrived not once did any member of staff approach our table to ask if everything was ok, did we require any further beverages. Really the service was shocking and the food very mediocre. I ordered the skillet and think I nearly broke my tooth trying to eat the sourdough toast. My kids could not even eat the waffles as the amount of Nutella smothered over the waffles was insane… (might be amazing for some) but sickly for most I imagine in that abundance. We will 100% not return. I can assure you the price tag did not fit the service or goods. Disappointed is an understatement. And yes this is my first ever review.. I felt so frustrated that I wanted to share my feedback.

Pizza was really good. Crust was thin and crispy, definitely homemade. Toppings delicious. Very nice atmosphere. Would be pleasant in the evenings too. Very recommended.

Went there on a monday morning for breakfast. The place was well decorated and clean. Food tasted good!

We had a really good night there, good atmosphere and DJ

Really lovely modern cafe. Had a gorgeous Eggs Royale for breakfast before going to the Verdant museum.

Best food, drinks and music around!! Great for any meal of the day

We went twice while staying in Dundee and the food and service were both awesome, the GF menu and service made me feel quite at ease for my daughter to eat and it was all delicious

Went to see the Sunny sliders jazz trio on Sunday night.......brilliant band and venue!

The bruschetta what amazing and the Arabiata was the best I’ve ever had! I have nothing but great things to say about my experience here!

Great pasta, really, really good pizza, quick friendly service (even on a busy night). Highly recommend. Even stopped for coffee in the morning - also good.

I freaking love this place, every time I’ve went in, the food is genuinely so delicious💓, it’s cheap and most meals are about a tenner for amazing food💓, the staff are lovely and very welcoming, the seats are nice, the scenery is quite foresty & plants.

I went for breakfast, absolutely delicious.

I went to the West House with kids/teenagers. Looks really simple and basic when you walk in but to our surprise the food was pretty good. We really enjoyed carbonara, pizza was good, chorizo with tomatoes. Prices are moderate. Aaaa…. Try IPA from tap.

We visited based on previous reviews and weren't disappointed. It's a bright, airy venue and service was prompt and friendly. We ordered carbonara, a pizza and halloumi salad. All the food was delicious as were the desserts, sticky toffee pudding and the Belgian waffle.. It was perfect for what we wanted and reasonably priced too.. Most importantly, our dog was allowed in. Definitely worth a visit.

Very enjoyable and dog friendly

Only stopped in for a drink but it felt very comfortable, would happily have stayed longer but have a booking to get to

Overpriced sub standard food at best. With avery Basic menu. Place seems very pretentious. All furcoat and no knickers

Went for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great place. Recommended.

Just had drinks, lovely place friendly staff. Food looked delicious 😋

Lovely cafe. The service was quick and the food and coffee was fantastic. I can honestly say it was the best pizza I’ve ever had!

The French toast with Parma ham was amazing, inhaled it.

Excellent service. Nice atmosphere. Great location. Food was amazing. Reasonably priced.

The food was the most salty food I’ve ever had in my life!! I couldn’t finish it although I was so hungry. The 2 starts because the staff were nice.

This is a great eating and drinking Bar. The staff are great and friendly my new favourite bar in Dundee. Update 23/04/2023 still amazing.

Nice clean establishment , excellent breakfast - Highly recommended Worth every penny 👌🏻

Good for a quick bite and cocktails. Good service.

The dairy free options are really good, fast service, and a clean environment. The pizza is lovely and the staff are friendly. I would recommend this restaurant.

Love this place. Everything is first class. Enough said.

Welcoming staff, a great atmosphere and lovely food. An asset to Dundee! Ordered the macaroni cheese and garlic bread and it was fantastic! Plenty flavour and a fantastic experience in this restaurant. Will definitely be visiting again!

Food was great but the service was only average. Food sat for a good few minutes before being served. Nice atmosphere but the high table we were at wasn't very comfortable.

Great place and food, also good with dogs 👍

Great food and service and highly recommended

Service was fantastic, and the decor was lovely. Food arrived fresh and hot. We both had poached eggs and avo on toast with coffee and orange juice each. The bill was really reasonable also.

Went for the pizza option. Fantastic. Lovely little place. Atmosphere spot on

Friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere, yummy cocktails but average food. We came for dinner as a small group of girls after good recommendations. Very limited dinner menu, only really pasta or pizza options. I had a pizza and it was so thin it was basically like a hard tortilla. This allowed for little topping which ended up quite dry. It was fairly tasty but won’t be getting again. The menu was affordably priced, and there was a good selection of cocktails to choose from. Would still give this place a go for breakfast as maybe that’s its stronger area.

Really good breakfast, good service and great being able to take the dog. No complaints at all with this place.

Great coffee - warm & welcoming atmosphere. Lovely staff.

I have visited The West House couple times and both times enjoyed my food and service was excellent. I like the style of the place and music was really good. They do half of the pizza and soup of the day - which I find great combination :)

Food always top quality, some inconsistencies in past visits Staff are attentive and always keep themselves occupied, check backs are spot on and prices are very good for the environment. Lovely interior.

Had lovely sharing plate of nachos with pulled pork and another of antipasto food and a beer or two. Food amazing. Service a bit slow. Food more than makes up for it. Recommend.

Really nice food for a decent price. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere.
