About the restaurant

The Down-Under Dining Experience!

Roo’s Leap Restaurant already has a great reputation… fresh ingredients cooked to order, and a friendly efficient service with a laid back Aussie attitude.Whether you’re looking for a great night out or you just can’t be bothered cooking, we’re sure we’ll have just what you’re looking for.

So what’s on the Menu? Well although we have an Aussie theme you’ll be pleased to know that Australians don’t typically eat Ostrich or Kangaroo… so neither do you! We have a fantastic international menu including our wonderful prime steak burgers, various warm sandwiches, steaks, salads, pasta dishes and, of course, our special “barbied” meat, chicken and fish dishes. We also have a number of vegetarian options. Our menu has over 50 dishes to choose from!

Please note we are dog friendly in our lounge during lunch hours only.

A magnificent former church conversion which is now a licensed coffee shop, art gallery and events space. The William Morris floor to ceiling stained glass windows set the tone.... it's glamourous, comfortable and every detail has been considered. Our food evolves through the day, its generally simple but excellent food, please see the menu for more information. We have GF/Vegan options available.

About the restaurant

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 food was very nice and the service excellent. There isn't a huge choice for children, but they are happy to leave out any Ingredients that your child won't eat. The food prices are average, the wine prices steep at around £10 for a large glass. Luckily, it was a very nice wine. There was a large party in, so the noise level was quite high but not uncomfortable.

About the restaurant

The original library and drawing room of Taypark House is the perfect home for our impressive restaurant. Each room enjoys uninterrupted views across the botanical gardens and the beautiful, shimmering River Tay. We've sympathetically restored these two rooms to highlight their original features, whilst adding our own modern vintage twist - like the hanging teapot lamps dangling from the ornate plaster ceiling, or the cluster chandelier with pretty, patterned lampshades draped from the central rose. It really is an incredible setting for delicious dining.

Our award winning chef Glenn Roach who has previously held 3 AA rosettes and now already earned 1 AA rosette with his take on home cooking looks to recrate classic dishes and lets the locally sourced produce speak for it self

Always the best experience at Taypark, such a beautiful venue with great tasting food. This was our first ever breakfast and I couldn't recommend it more, There were 5 of us in the party, we each had a different breakfast and everyone had good sized portions, the food came out quick and we all commented on how delicious the food was. There had been a wedding the night before but everything was spotless so you'd never have known. The staff couldn't do enough to help us, kept checking in that everything was ok, we were topped up with tea and although we were there chatting for a good couple of hours nobody rushed us. When chatting to staff as we were paying for the meal we said we were getting married ourselves in 2027 so were showing my future parents in law where we had booked and the gentleman offered to show us around the venue, see a couple of the rooms as they were cleaning and also their wedding book - it was so so lovely of him to take that time out of what would have been a busy morning to do that. Thank you Taypark - we can't wait to get married at your beautiful venue ☺️
