We went 2 nights on the trot and there were some differences which was wonderful. It’s a set menu with loads of dishes which are seasonal. We have been quite a few times now and we will definitely be back!!! Make sure you book though or you won’t get in. Fabulous, just fabulous!! read less

It is a set menu: the cold tapas included delicious beef and figs, chicken salad, manchego cheese and they all arrived very quickly, and were followed by hot tapas including pork in red wine sauce, patatas bravas and a chicken and chorizo kebab. The food was very good and the service was excellent. read less

Always made sure our drinks were topped up, gave us extra bread and aioli when we asked, without any issue. The only thing is i feel they don’t update their menu and change it up enough. read less

The restaurant is in the centre of Broughty Ferry which is a pretty, small town about 5 miles from Dundee. The Tapas menu’s are set menus and are changed each day. As we are both vegetarians, we had that menu. They also do vegan and pescatarian menus as well as the standard one. Olives and nuts are brought out first with drinks followed by the selection of cold Tapas dishes. These include unlimited bread and aioli. We particularly liked the Valencian vegetable salad but all the dishes were excellent. Then came the selection of hot tapas. These included halloumi and vegetable kebabs, Spanish blue cheese croquettes and mushroom stew. All the dishes were delicious and the waiter and waitress told us what every dish was. They also asked before we ordered if we had any specific allergies. Service was friendly, efficient and quick. The restaurant is attractive inside and there is plenty of food. We really enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend dinner here. read less

We had seven cold tapas to start followed by eight hot tapas, all chosen by the chef, and we loved the variety of dishes served which included, amongst other things, fish, prawns, beef, pork, chicken, chorizo, Spanish black pudding. The restaurant was lively with a good atmosphere, the food was excellent and abundant, and the waiting staff were friendly and attentive in spite of how busy the restaurant was. In the end we were defeated by the amount of food served however, our waitress offered to box up the remaining tapas for us to take home, so for £27.50 pp we had dinner and enough left over for a light lunch the following day. The owners of Sol y Sombra clearly know their business, their food, value for money, staff, décor, atmosphere and website are all spot on. The fact that their restaurant was fully booked on a Tuesday evening, when many other local restaurants were closed, is testament to this. I would highly recommend a visit to anyone, and we shall certainly be returning. read less

Not having been to a real Spanish Tapas bar for over two years, we took a gamble and ate at this one at Broughty Ferry. What an experience! Just loved the approach of “we’re here to feed you”. No reams of menu choices, just get stuck in! Fabulous-if it’s your kind of thing just go!
A thousand thanks for making our evening. read less
