About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood 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.

    First time back after year or so and still a lovely atmosphere and service was pleasant. Food we thought was nice but did notice other tables with slightly different dishes which for a set menu we couldn’t quite understand. However food was ok but nothing exceptional if honest. Sangria used to be special as used to be a special recipe but quite disappointing to find a jug of what seemed like ready made which was pretty much out of tap mix for £25, all in all it still provides a lovely experience however do feel it’s a bit on the expensive side for what it is including the food. Might be a while before we go back mainly due to not being great value for money just in our opinion.

    Went for lunch and we chose the set menu between two, food was absolutely amazing, our server was very knowledgable about the menus which is always a good plus for me. Service was prompt and efficient and all completed with a lovely smile. Highly recommend Sol y Sombra Tapas to others.

    Absolutely brilliant, staff were super lovely, atmosphere was great, food was excellent. We are both vegan and I have an allergy to peppers and it wasn't an issue at all. Really recommend.

    First time at this restaurant was impressed with staff very attentive. Food was lovely just a little to much for us. The sangria was also lovely. Would highly recommend a visit and we are looking forward to the next time.

    I had lunch on Tuesday 27th May with my friend who was visiting from Edinburgh. We ordered the meat chefs selection and the food was lovely. I hadn’t been since the take over and haven’t had lunch before but was very pleased with everything and my friend loved it. The staff were very pleasant and attended to everything we needed. Pricing was great as it was 50% off Tapas Tuesday. Thumbs up all round
