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 ratingSol y Sombra has been our favourite restaurant for several years, however we hadn't visited since it had been taken over and so were curious as to how much it might have changed - for better or worse!
As it turned out, the new team have made what I thought was the best restaurant, even better! It's been freshened up a little inside, and the menu is now slightly expanded (at least lunch time was) to allow you to pick and choose tapas dishes, as well as the original "set menu".
Some new or different dishes - all delicious as always. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. No suprise really, given these fold also have the nearby Selkie - another outstanding restaurant!
Our 5 year old loved trying all the different dishes.
Looking forward to our next visit already!

5 star ratingEnjoyed a great lunch with good service in lovely surroundings. The tapas were delicious, as was the wine. The £16 lunch deal is great value & my friend & I shared our dishes. The portions are generous.

5 star ratingReturning to Sol Y Sombra a few weeks since last visit and lovely new decor in upstairs area is amazing.
A very busy night as we arrived early evening. Highly efficient service from two brilliant waitresses. We ordered 6 tapas dishes and a bread/olives platter. More than enough food for the two of us. Really enjoyed the Pescadero Point Rose wine. Such a busy place with a vibrant atmosphere. Will return again.

5 star ratingMet friends here for a catch up and we weren’t disappointed. Great atmosphere and lovely layout. Staff were very friendly, cheerful and helpful. Service was great. And the food was amazing and looked amazing. There were 4 of us and we chose 3 tapas each and shared. Which was a perfect amount. It was that good, we’ve booked again for next month. Highly recommend. Great location. Lots of pubs nearby if you want to carry in the night. Or if you’re being sensible, you could have a lovely walk along the beach/promenade to walk off your meal.
