Eastfield

‘It’s become a genuine local “hot-spot” and has quickly built a reputation as one of the most talked-about food spots in Dundee,’ affirms one fan, so expect ‘regular queues and busy service’ from a team who know most of their customers by name. Founded by renowned chef, wild cook and educator Harris McNeill and his wife Katie, Eastfield serves up local and seasonal produce ‘cooked with flair and passion’. Occupying that sweet spot between daytime café and restaurant, its communal tables, chalkboard menus and shelves of provisions create a real local buzz. Expect simple, unfussy dishes, and readers speak fondly of the ‘elevated breakfast rolls, handmade pasta and standout bakes’ – the Guinness cake gets plenty of attention. Also look out for specials such as spatchcock pigeon with spring greens, charred onions and salsa verde. On Saturday evenings, the place puts on its glad rags, while drinks satisfy all-comers.
