Favourite Restaurant in the Ferry Another wonderful night at Sol y Sombra, to celebrate my husbands promotion. The food was as amazing as it always is, staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive, and the restaurant as a whole is our favourite in Broughty Ferry. We consider ourselves lucky having this lovely restaurant so close to us.

A group of us had a great meal and probably too much food but the dishes that were brought out were delicious and very good value The acoustics aren’t easy for a number of us who have heating problems but unfortunately 4 men who apparently had been golfing all day arrived very drunk , continued to drink and were quite obnoxious. One even put his leg up on the table. We appreciate how difficult these situations are for the very young staff to deal with but they were quite offensive. I hope they all have a hangover from H this morning. They fortunately didn’t stay that long but being literally right beside certainly made us plan to leave earlier than anticipated.

The restaurant exceeded our expectations and was accurate to recent reviews. The set dinner menu hot tapas was beautifully curated, perfectly flavoured and portions were plentiful. Different each day we understand but we had dishes with Cod, Pork Belly, Prawns, greens, potato Bravas. The red sangria was fruity and fresh. The service by the three young men and a young lady was attentive, helpful and friendly. Given it was the owners birthday on the day we visited we were given lots of extra treats, totally unexpected and extremely generous. A restaurant not to be missed. A great night out with my parents on a short weekend break away in a beautiful part of Scotland.

Drinks were quick to be ordered and arrived, we opted to go for the full tapas and it did not disappoint! Cold tapas were delicious, hot tapas arrived around 20 minutes later, which again, were delicious! Staff talked us through all the dishes, checked on us regularly and even wrapped up a wee doggy bag for my granny. Will absolutely be back - thanks again to all the staff, both out front and in the kitchen for making our Mother’s Day treat so special!

We chose both the full tapas (hot and cold) and it was delicious. There was no element of rush and we were able to take our time and enjoy our food. This was also accompanied by a tasty jug of sangria (my favourite!). Following our meal we were advised that our table had been booked online however the male staff member working was extremely attentive and reserved the cosy seating area for us to sit and enjoy our drinks. We stayed for a further 2 hours taking in the warm friendly atmosphere. The place was buzzing and the staff did so well to make sure all customers were content and happy. We will definitely be back.

Also, lovely personal service from a family business that just wants people to have a great experience. Great explanations of the different dishes too. Highly recommend.

As tapas lovers, we thought we’d give it a go. We were welcomed by Lewis who was very personable and attentive. He explained the menu options to us and really looked after us from start to finish. When the food came, we thought we’d ordered too much, but it was just so good that we just loosened the belts and got stuck in! Without a doubt sone of the best tapas we’d had in years. Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in town. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

The food is always delicious and the staff are always very welcoming and great at explaining the choices and each dish when they arrive. One of our favourite places to eat, infact we have to limit ourselves so as not to seem too needy 😅 we are lucky to live so close to such a cool place!

read moreread lessAlex M11/04/25Fabulous meal I must admit that after seeing the owners Facebook post and then reading the Trip Advisor reviews from last week, I was considering cancelling our booking. After being a regular before the new owners took over, this was always my favourite restaurant. I am delighted to say that I’m glad we didn’t cancel. Firstly I love the new decor upstairs, it’s really classy and warm. The welcome we got was friendly and the service was good too. We went for the cold and hot Tapas and we were not disappointed. The selection was really tasty and varied. My only gripe was I felt a little bowl of salad is not a tapas but other than that, it was great. When the hot food started coming out, we could not believe how many prawns we got. The chicken skewers were tasty and we got a bowl of patatas bravas each and a selection of other hot dishes. We could not finish it all so portion wise, we had more than enough. The only thing I wish we had done differently was order a bottle of wine but instead we opted for 2 glasses of Tempranillo and it just didn’t taste like Tempranillo so not sure if the wine by the glass is different? Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and glad we went, we will be back.
