A new restaurant with stunning views of Dundee and the Tay is opening up this week

A brand new restaurant is preparing to open in Newport-on-Tay this week, and it’s already turning heads thanks to its picturesque location and the team behind it.

Named Shoreline, the restaurant will take over the former Boat Brae premises and is expected to welcome its first guests this Friday, according the restaurant’s Instagram account.

Set along the waterfront, Shoreline offers stunning views across the River Tay to Dundee. Its location is one of the most scenic in the area, with uninterrupted views of the city skyline, Tay Rail Bridge and passing river traffic.

The setting alone is sure to be a major draw for diners looking for a unique and relaxing atmosphere.

The new venue comes from the same operators as Top Dog Sports Bar in Dundee, suggesting a flair for creating popular and well-run establishments.

While Top Dog is known for its casual, sporty vibe, Shoreline is expected to offer something different – potentially more refined but still approachable.

Details about the menu are still under wraps, but expectations are high for a diverse and creative food offering.

Locals and visitors alike are hoping for a strong mix of locally sourced ingredients, fresh seafood, and dishes that complement the riverside setting.

The Boat Brae space had developed a loyal following before it closed, and many in the area are pleased to see it being brought back to life so quickly. The arrival of Shoreline marks a fresh chapter for the site and for Newport’s growing food scene.

With its grand opening slated for Friday, excitement is building among food lovers on both sides of the river.

Whether you’re crossing the bridge from Dundee or just popping down the High Street, Shoreline could be the perfect new spot to enjoy a meal with a view.
