With freshers week starting on Monday, Dundee’s newest students are sure to be on the hunt for the best food discounts in the city.
And it’s not only the new starts – returning students will also be looking for some good-value meals to get them through the weeks of study ahead.
So, to keep the energy levels firing all term long, we have put together a list of some of the places you can find a tasty bargain.
From cheap wings to discounted tacos the deals in the city are an incredible find for those who enjoy dining out.
Below are eight popular venues in Dundee that the food and drink team recommend for an experience you won’t forget, and your wallet will thank you for.
The Braes
If you are new to the city you may not be aware of The Braes‘ fantastic offer on Wednesday for 30p chicken wings. That’s compared to the normal price of seven wings for £5.50, or 80p each.
In addition, for only £3.75 The Braes offers craft beers and cocktails so that you can enjoy a drink even if you are on a budget.
And if you are a lover of dog-friendly places, The Braes lets you enjoy your meal with your family, friends and pets too.

Más
Do you love tacos? If so, my recommendation is to book your next meal at Más Mexican restaurant on Perth Road.
On Tuesdays, customers can enjoy tacos for half the price starting from 5pm onwards.
And with a reputation for offering incredible vegan food, Más is definitely one to try if you have special dietary requirements.
