Dundee’s Original Tapas Bar

Sol y Sombra has been Dundee’s original and favourite tapas bar since it opened in 2011. Born out of a childhood love for Spain and Spanish food we have created a menu of fresh, authentic and simple tapas. 
Our chefs use the morning’s freshly delivered ingredients to decide which dishes will be served that day. We can cater to all dietary requirements and pride ourselves in offering truly delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes. 
We have dining areas on the ground floor and first floor which boast a wide range of gins, beers, wines, spirits, cocktails and our signature sangria. Our expert staff are always on hand to help you find the perfect drink to accompany your tapas.

Our vouchers are very popular and the perfect gift for any occasion. They can be purchased online or in the restaurant. If you’d like to put a smile on someone’s face with a Sol y Sombra gift voucher please click here.

5 star ratingThere with my lovely sisters in law on Saturday for lunch. It was quiet but staff were very attentive and explained how the menu works. We shared around 3 dishes each and ordered some bread. Honestly, there was loads. The tacos were fabulous, the salmon cooked really well and the baked goats cheese was delicious. Lovely food cooked to a very high standard, lovely, welcoming staff and the new decor is very warm and cosy. All in all a very pleasant lunch out.

5 star ratingHad a meal out in the new Velvet tide last night with my husband & his dad & girlfriend. We fancied something different to the usual curry night we always do! And we couldn’t have made a better choice than here! Staff really friendly & welcoming, cosy & comfy atmosphere. We ordered a variety of dishes to share- we tried some of the fish/seafood, meat & vegetarian options- everything tasted amazing! Highlights were the hake & butterbean, scallops, steak tacos and garlic mushrooms! Everything was cooked to perfection too. The team were all very attentive making sure we were ok throughout our meal & checking we were enjoying everything. We were given a discount on our bill as the waiter stated it was felt some of our food had come out slower but we did not notice this at all as had plenty & were too busy enjoying it all! This was a nice touch though & shows the high standards & care for customers . We will definitely be recommending & be back soon! No pictures as too busy eating it all!
