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.

Great service by Morgan. Great food. Gambas was amazing and the sauce with the chorizo and black pudding was delightful. Chicken dishes were great as was the croquette and halloumi fries.

I thought this was a great experience, it was my first time and didn’t really know what to order, but the four of us decided to just get things to share, the food was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the cost was surprising, we were £102 for the four of us and we were all very full and satisfied, will definitely be back x

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.
Watch the website for details of our next live event... tickets always go quickly.

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

Had a lovely meal, after my sons graduation. With the service and choice of food excellent. Staff very helpful and friendly. Food was delicious with 6 out of 8 choosing different dishes so we had a lovely mixture. Would recommend a hidden gem, with beautiful surroundings, friendly and a lovely afternoon spent with family. Thank you.
