If you're after a proper taste of Spain in Scotland, Sol y Sombra is an absolute gem that's been winning hearts in Dundee since 2011.
Located in the charming seaside suburb of Broughty Ferry, this cosy restaurant has established itself as Dundee's original and favourite tapas bar, born from owners Joanna and Phil's childhood love for Spain and Spanish cuisine. Sol y Sombra sits perfectly in the heart of this bustling community, offering dining areas on both the ground floor and first floor. The restaurant has created an authentic Spanish atmosphere that truly captures the essence of a typical Spanish family meal, where sharing and enjoying food together is at the heart of the experience.
What makes Sol y Sombra special is their commitment to fresh, authentic, and simple tapas. The chefs use the morning's freshly delivered ingredients to decide which dishes will be served that day, ensuring everything is as fresh as possible. Their lunch set menu offers both cold and hot dishes as well as a separate dinner menu. For those wanting something lighter, they also offer hot tapas only with bread and aioli at lunch and dinner.
The restaurant prides itself on catering to all dietary requirements, with truly delicious vegetarian and vegan options available. The drinks selection is equally impressive, featuring a wide range of gins, beers, wines, spirits, cocktails, and their signature sangria. Gift vouchers are incredibly popular and can be purchased online or in the restaurant, making them the perfect present for any foodie in your life. The expert staff are always on hand to help you find the perfect drink to accompany your tapas, making every visit feel like a mini holiday to Spain right in the heart of Broughty Ferry.
