Dundee food & drink
Tayside's food city — monthly market, riverside revival, and the Dundee Flower & Food Festival
Dundee has been quietly reshaping its food and drink identity over the last decade, helped by the V&A waterfront development and a steady stream of new openings on Bell Street and across the West End. The monthly farmers market at the Waterfront (Slessor Gardens) showcases Angus and Fife producers. The Dundee Flower and Food Festival each September brings horticulture and food together in Camperdown Park. 71 Brewing is the city's craft brewery, with a taproom in the East End. Surrounding Angus and Fife give easy access to Arbikie Distillery (Scottish vodka and rum, 40 min north) and the Highland-Perthshire whisky distilleries to the west.
