The best restaurants in Monifieth and Sidlaw Angus Central Scotland

It genuinely was the worst meal I’ve ever received. I know it’s cheap but the nachos was disgusting it was meant to have beef chilli on it and it was just a watery sauce. The main was steak like and it had a massive lump of fat sitting on the top. The chips shouldn’t be served they were covered in black from what could only be very dirt and unclean fryer's. When asked about the black stuff the waiter tried to say it was chips on the chips the worst explanation I’ve heard. The worse restaurant I’ve ever come across.

Always great food, quick efficient service and brilliant value for money. The Tandoori mixed grill is especially good, highly recommended.

Staff friendly. The best resource in the tired place. 2nd visit in a few months as in the area. Previous visit. Venue was very limited first time due to delivery issue of chicken. This time arrived at very start of lunch service. If I had looked at the carpet first- I wouldn't have ordered. Even my husband said it looked as if it hadn't been hoovered for weeks. It looked rank and had very visible debris. If this is the public facing area, I cringe as to the state of the kitchen. The play area was closed weekdays due to staff shortage- in school holidays. This is false evonomy.. Witnessed at least 2 grouos leave because of this which means lost revenue. The 2 for 1 mains deal is misleading. The mains differ significantly from those on the main menu. Eg smothered chicken barely covered and no coleslaw. Prob worth the money but would have preferred more cheese/ bbq sauce and trimmings so should have paid more. The toilet sinks look dire.. The sealant round them looks shocking and makes you more aware of just how run down the place is elsewhere.

So glad we didn’t read some of these reviews before we went or might not have bothered. After a google search of places to eat “near me” the Speckled Hen came up. We loved it. Nice area, lovely views. Big open airy restaurant. Nothing fancy but clean and homely feel. Lovely selection of homemade sandwiches, cakes etc. My other half had bacon and egg roll which was delivered in a large roll with plenty filling while I had soup n sandwich. Salad and coleslaw with sandwich which was fresh and tasty. Delicious! The waitress also did the cooking so realised it may take longer to arrive than other places but was well worth the wait. Very relaxed and enjoyable. Service was lovely and other half saying he will be back with work colleagues!

This place has now been demolished.

Always get a great takeaway from Panda. Regular order included special foo yung, slat and pepper chicken with chilli, noodles with bean sprouts, fried rice and prawn toast and it’s far better than any other local chinese that we’ve tried.

Think this place changed ownership now called monifish. It serves a wide variety takeaway good which is mainly cooked to order. My small fish supper was really good crispy fish and loads of non greasy chips hubby had spicy haggis and really enjoyed nice and peppery. The staff are really nice and I would recommend this shop.

Came here to the bar area, for a pint and something light to eat only to be told , sorry not serving any food in the bar area, would have to book the main restaurant which would be a 40 minute wait. We've been before and never had any bother, things have definitely changed and not for the better.

This cafe has really gone downhill. Went in for a cuppa and cake and could not believe the prices for the cakes. Extortion. £3.99 for a tiny slice of cake and £1.10 for a small teacake. Used to love this cafe but don't think I will be back.

Kebab meat like leather, tasteless pizza, 1st and last time do yourself a favour and go elsewhere
