REVIEW: Brain curry no longer on the menu but Tang’s in Dundee serves up a fun night out
The transformative power of great architecture and spatial design to make the spirits soar is inarguable, from the grandeur of the Baroque to the understatement of Le Corbusier.
REVIEW: Italian Grill has a great location in Dundee but the pizza is bad and music awful

Lands of Loyal in Alyth was a complete revelation and certainly one of the nicest surprises of the year for me.
