    Hands up, I don't know Dundee's food scene at all! But, an old school friend has just moved there…read moreso we will suss it out together and share with you lovely Yelpers! Having decided on my last visit we wanted Italian, we ended up here. Great, central location in the City Square it has plenty of outside seating for sunny days. Inside is modern and fresh with private dining available (when I say private, it's just a glass partition so I use the word "private" loosely here!). The menu follows suit and has a modern Italian feel and while we browsed we were brought complimentary bread and olive oil/balsamic...3 pieces of bread...between 2 of us...grrrr this really frustrates me! Thankfully we've known each other yonks so didn't fall out over the last piece lol. I eventually opted for the Wild Mushroom & Mozzarella Arancini (fried balls of risotto, sooo tasty but sadly only two which looked a bit odd) followed by Prosciutto, Rocket & Parmesan Pizza (proper authentic base I was really surprised how good this was, would have again in a flash! And only £9.95!). Service was attentive throughout, if a little too attentive, especially when I was still eating my last piece of pizza and my plate was being cleared while asking how it was, eh hello, mouth full, can't talk right now! My numero uno pet peeve I'm afraid, just leave it a couple of more minutes, THEN clear, OK? Pet peeve aside, food was tasty and I would definitely go back next time I'm up that way :-)

    Great meal and excellent service in a well presented venue. We enjoyed gnocchi and a pizza and had…read moreour eyes on some fine desserts but both mains were generous that left no room for sweets. Wine selection and coffees to finish were all delicious. Visiting Dundee from overseas so may not make it back but would recommend to anyone looking for a great meal.

    Dundee University Student Union is pretty much the go to place in Dundee for Students looking for a…read morenight out, its location centered in the middle of the Dundee University district is ideal for the students who live on campus and it couldn't get closer to Perth Road and all the pubs that come along with it. With 5 floors it's a pretty versatile place. The bottom floor known as Mono is the most popular of the 5, playing mostly chart pop music and dance, whilst not being to everyone's taste it's usually where most people end up by the end of the night. The third floor is home to the "liar" bar (named after the Stephen Fry novel of the same name due to his time as rector of the university) which is mainly the area that people tend to pre drink in before heading either up or downstairs later on in the night as it is a comfortable environment to have a drink in due to comfy couches, the liar bar also has plenty of screens to watch sports on. One floor up there are pool tables and the air bar which has karaoke regularly and serves cocktails. On the very top floor sits the aptly named floor 5, which is usually the alternative to mono by the end of the night, it has a dimly lit feel to it and usually plays music that wouldn't normally be played downstairs (hosting genres inducing specialised electronica all the way to the now sadly defunct rock and metal night). In terms of a cheap night most students usually go to what is (in)famously known as "Skint" on a Tuesday night where entry is a pound and (selected) drinks are usually the same price. Weekends tend to be a bit dearer in terms of entry at the door and drink prices are usually a bit more expensive too (but nothing wallet stretching). The only real negatives about the place are that as it is a student union the busyness of the place really depends on when the students are about, exam times etc, the place can be absolutely dead during summer and during exam time and almost too crammed to enjoy at the start of each term. That and the selection of alternative nights on floor 5 is dwindling to the point that all that is really left is an indie night and a cheesy pop night which seems to play the same playlist every weekend.
