Dundee Restaurant Week is the innovative new event from the creators of Dundee Cocktail Week, again designed to help save our hospitality industry in these difficult times.
With the cost of living crisis biting hard, hospitality is one of the first areas to suffer – yet it’s one of the most essential for all of us, as social creatures.
Hospitality is about escapism, about freedom, about putting life behind you for an hour or two and relaxing with a great meal, a few drinks, or just amazing company out of your usual daily surroundings.
That’s why we must do all we can to save our hospitality industry – at the current rate there will ONLY be garden room bars before we know it!
Alice Christison, of M-AD, founders and organisers of Restaurant Week and Cocktail Week, said: “It’s vital that we continue to support our amazing hospitality businesses – here in Scotland and in Dundee in particular we really punch above our weight in the trade.
“The offerings we have across the country are just incredible, with something for genuinely every taste, from restaurants like Gallery 48, Mas, The Giddy Goose, Franks, The West House, Tailend, Tahini to cafes including Henrys, EH9 Espresso, The Flame tree cafe, The Cannon.
“We are proud to support our hospitality businesses by running events like Cocktail Week and now Dundee’s first ever Restaurant Week to help bring new people into Dundee to explore the wealth of options we have showcasing the very best in food and drink.
“Dundee has a lot to be proud of but we as people in Scotland are rubbish at shouting about our good things – we want to change that.”
It’s super simple to get involved – just go to the website and click for your free registration.
You’ll get a digital pass which offers you access to all the venues taking part in the week, from June 29 until July 9 – just show your digipass.
You get amazing offers on food and drinks, from set menus to freebies and extras, and you can visit as many as you want across the week.
It’s for everyone, so whether you want to revisit and old favourite, discover something new or even travel to Dundee specifically to check our faves out, go for it.
Alice said: “We really do have so much included, Dundee has really got behind restaurant week and we have some amazing deals for you.
“We have partnered with the Dundee’s Food Network to support Dundee’s Community Cafes, that offer free 3 course meals to help feed those in need, which is more important than ever as the crisis continues to bite.
“We are a proud part of the Dundee community and want to help enrich it even further.”
