We had such a lovely evening. The food was so tasty-highly recommend the sea bass and the mushrooms- the delicious garlicky olives.The wine was gorgeous too, and the waitress looking after us was really nice. We’ll definitely come back next time we’re in Dundee.

Delicious tapas, small restaurant so not too loud, great wine selection. Stand out dishes were the chorizo with red wine and honey, the garlic pesto mushrooms and the pork belly but there were no bad dishes.
