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.

    Food as always was lovely! Staff are lovely and very helpful however it felt like there was not enough staff on we had to find someone to get more drinks and took a while which impacted on food as we were left without a drink. Saying that we love this place would always highly recommend

    Our first visit to this amazing Tapas bar and when we’re in Dundee we would definitely return. The food was absolutely delicious and ample portions. The atmosphere was great but upstairs was a little noisy with a big party. We were originally meant to be sitting up there but I explained that my Dad, who was travelling with us, is very hard of hearing and it would have been way too noisy for him. I explained this to the waitress and they juggled the tables and moved us downstairs immediately. We then proceeded to have an excellent night with possibly the best tapas we’ve ever had! Cannot recommend enough!!!

    As always, a beautiful meal at Sol y Sombra! I love the explanation of each course in both Spanish and English . Every dish was delicious! Staff were polite, attentive, and prompt bringing out each dish and clearing the table after.
