A Spanish delight in Broughty Ferry A wonderful cosy Spanish restaurant in the heart of Broughty Ferry. 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.

We went for the Chef's Selection which provides some lovely surprise dishes - a mix of starters and mains tapas. My personal highlights was the halloumi kebab, patatas bravas, padron peppers, aioli and all of the little salad dishes we started off with. Partner loved all of the meat dishes and basically everything else! We also had a jug of the red wine sangria, which was delicious and two Mojhitos which were very well made and packed with flavour, lots of mint and ice. Huge shout-out to the two staff who were perfect hosts, super pleasant and attentive, created a lovely relaxing vibe for us. A bustling wee night at Sol Y Sombre - thanks again.

Only mentioning this here as some places can be “funny” about this sort of thing. I arrived a good ten minutes early than my booking but this wasn’t a problem and I was offered a seat and asked if I wanted a drink. Again, mentioned here as not all restaurants are as accommodating. As well as the above, great food, lovely atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff all contributing to a five star review. Already talking about a return visit. Should probably say that we visited on a Tuesday to take advantage of the discount. Which made this particular visit outrageously good value.

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!

Food was served in good time and was really tasty. Lewis also took a moment to chat to us. Will definitely be back again soon.

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.

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.

Better than ever We went as a group of 3, one veggie, one unable to eat gluten and one “normal” We ordered full tapas which is a selection of hot and cold dishes with bread, olives and oils. We also had a jug of white sangria and 3 passion fruit martinis. The food was plentiful, served at a decent time and with no long waits. Each dish was explained to us and the team couldn’t have done enough to help. She was bright and chipper. We had a lovely evening and would go back, I think the new pick and mix selections would be great for lunch or midweek. The places was busy and the owner was chatting to tables. Overall a lovely family business who’s is offering a really special experience. We will be back

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.
