Encore Brasserie At Dundee Rep Theatre

Top notch food and service. Went to the Dundee Rep restaurant twice in a week for lunch over the festive period. First visit was on a Saturday late afternoon and then again on the 22nd Dec. We were very warmly greeted by the staff shown to our table. As starters one of us had hot salmon pate and 2 went for red pepper polenta fritters. Delicious! For mains , turkey with all the trimmings and two of us opted for featherbed of beef. The beef was so tender and fell apart. The turkey was equally delicious. For sweets we had Baileys creme brulee with salted star shaped biscuits, limoncello cheesecake, scottish cheese board ,oatcakes, frozen grapes with juniper and plum jam. The plates were warm for the hot dishes. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and thought it was very reasonably priced. The atmosphere was really warm and friendly with a low background level of music. The staff were friendly, attentive and were happy to chat or share a laugh or two. They, the chef and kitchen staff deserve plaudits for the quality of food and the level of service given and we were happy to leave a tip which reflected the good meal and service.All in all a great time. Thank you to Eve and the staff. Highly recommend going here , it is a local gem.

The setting, service and atmosphere is very good but the jackfruit, butterbean and coconut curry was just a (small) bowl of flavour free, grey mush. NO flavour of coconut at all and just 5 tiny mini poppadoms (like the bags you can buy in the supermarket) and one of those was dark brown and overcooked. So very disappointing. This would have been a one star review for the food except that my friend's trout was good and the waitress was excellent. Plus the convenience of eating pre-theatre on site is great. Sadly, I won't be eating here again in a hurry.

Had a lovely lunch on Saturday 9th April with family . Cullen skink was very tasty. Lemon posset was to die for. Service was.great. This place should be very busy but for some reason unless there is a show people seem to forget its there.

We dined here before a show. It is recommended to make a reservation as the restaurant has limited seating. They offer both a la carte and set price options for 2 or 3 course meals. The menu had a nice variety and the food was freshly prepared and well presented. I had the haddock and my partner had the pork loin, but there were also vegetarian choices available. The restaurant is open for lunch as well. They offer a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and the atmosphere is laid-back and enjoyable.

I had a delightful two-course pre-theatre dinner at this restaurant. I had a main course and dessert, but they also offer three-course options. The food was well presented, although the service was a bit slow. However, I appreciated not feeling rushed. The highlight of the meal was the fresh fruit sundae for dessert.
