The restaurant is handy for work and we popped in for an after work catch up/dinner. Not our first visit and service was once again excellent. Menu is varied and catered for everyone in the group. Food is very good and good value for money. As a bonus they were running a discount for the fringe festival so exceptionally good value for money this time. Worth a visit if you find yourself in that part of the city

Afternoon tea at KIN is quite a ceremony, a parade of delicate finger sandwiches, homemade cakes and warm scones served with clotted cream and Scottish preserves, on silver stands and in a setting made for exactly this kind of afternoon. Choose from a carefully curated selection of loose leaf teas, a glass of champagne or a botanical Kombucha and simply let the afternoon unfold. Vegan, high tea and gluten-free options are available, each as considered and carefully prepared as the original. We kindly ask that these are requested at the time of booking with 48 hours' advance notice.The tea selection at KIN is sourced from The Tea Group, a curated collection of organic, sustainable teas from the finest terrains of China, India and Japan, chosen with the same care for provenance and origin that runs through everything at KIN. A quiet nod to the women connoisseurs whose expertise and discernment lie behind every cup.

• Afternoon Tea • Dundee
The food here was spectacular. The dishes were all flavorful and well-balanced, and the service was well done in a room full of ambiance and very chill 1920s style music lightly playing in the background. A worthy dining option for anyone in Dundee!
