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 meal and very fresh. Onion rings were immense! Slight confusion on the starter with it being wrong and arriving late but when it did it was lovely. Would definitely recommend and return

About the restaurant

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.

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.

We had the set menu hot and cold tapas. Wish we could have taken the left overs with us, it was so good. You can say what your preferences are so you get dishes you will like. Lots of food and very tasty. Very friendly attentive staff. It was half price Tuesday which made it exceptional value, although it would still have been good value at full price.

Gastropub, freshly cooked food which means that there is an occasional wait. Menu varied enough that everyone is catered for including the non-foodies & coeliacs as they cater for GF (though do mention when booking & when ordering, as they separate fryers). Delicious cocktails, again a wait is involved. Reasonably priced wine. Have eaten lunch & dinner here & will visit again soon.
