About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Food service and drinks all excellent. I had club sandwich which was really lovely, all of us had cakes and hot drinks and all were really good Unfortunately the building is a bit chilly due to the size of it. This is my 4th time here and I’ve felt cold each time which is a shame.

    Excellent. Fantastic surroundings and good food. This place should be, deserves to be the central hub of Monifieth. The “place to go”

    We went to the Culdee on Mother's Day for lunch. We didn't order the Afternoon Tea as we had a few picky eaters in our group and it would have been a waste of money. The standard lunch menu was fine for everyone except for my daughter who wanted the Healthy Platter (she's the picky eater!) but the kitchen couldn't accommodate her as the Healthy Platters weren't available until after 3 so she ended up with soup which wasn't really what she wanted so that was a bit disappointing. However, the rest of us enjoyed our sandwiches and the cakes were great (especially the beetroot and chocolate cake!). The Culdee is very relaxing, the staff are very friendly and lovely ambience for a Sunday afternoon. Parking was easy, just on the street outside.

    Took my mum here for a Mothers Day lunch. I had accidentally booked a sofa instead of a table, which wasn’t the best for my mum who has mobility issues. I spoke to owner Gill who was so helpful and understanding and who managed to provide us with a table with no fuss. Gill was hospitable and helpful and the service was great. We had a lovely lunch here and the surroundings were stunning. We both have an interest in art and the paintings on display/for sale were super too. Will definitely be back !
