About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
Sol y Sombra has been Dundee’s most popular tapas bar since it opened in 2011. Born out of a love for Spanish food and culture, we have created a menu of fresh, authentic and simple tapas. The aim is to recreate the feel of a typical Spanish family meal, so everyone has to share and enjoy the meal as one.

    The restaurant was immaculately clean and tidy. Staff was amazing and the food was excellent. The price for the food was great as we received large platefuls. I would recommend Sol y Sombra and will be returning again very soon.

    Easy booking system. Warmly welcomed on arrival at Sol y Sombra Tapas Bar and taken to our table. Very well looked after by the waiters who brought and explained what each dish consisted of..... the dishes kept coming! A very enjoyable lunch was had by us all.

    Experience was absolutely fantastic. Amazing veggie and alcohol free options for me - the smoked tofu was particularly delicious and the mojito mocktail was brilliant. Service was attentive but relaxed … which is quite a skill, and the atmosphere spot on.

    We had the set lunch menu which they adapted to our preferences and it was fantastic. Generous portions and excellent flavours with a lot of thought in what dishes complimented one another. Would highly recommend!
