He says, I had the fish pie and it was tasty. Accompanying vegetables were plain and simple. Haggis pakora for starters were also yummy. But, food portions are huge, if you don't have a big appetite then go for the half portions. (Or, skip a starter!) Staff were friendly and service was quick. She says, This was a great place! Book ahead by phone to make sure you get a table. Restaurant is upstairs, bar downstairs and some outside seating. Food was great, flavoursome and well seasoned. I had salt and pepper squid and haddock risotto from the special menu. Both were generous portions and very nice. Will definitely go back and recommend to friends and family. Service was also friendly l, chatty but professional. Some might think the surroundings a little old fashioned but to be honest, the view and the food make up for that. I would have given 5 stars!

Oh, you won't believe how much I adored this place! I couldn't stop myself from visiting it again and again. And why wouldn't I? The "Fresh Scottish Mussels" were an absolute delight and the beautiful Tay in the background made it all the more special. I've also tried other dishes here like crab cakes and Cullen Skink, and let me tell you, they were beyond satisfactory! The service was nothing short of amazing, and Lynn deserves a special mention for being so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. If you're ravenously hungry, I suggest you go for a starter because the main dish might take a while, but trust me, it's worth the wait. And you know what? You simply can't visit Broughty Ferry without checking out The Ship Inn!!!

A good Sunday meal with the family. We dropped by on Sunday for a family meal to get out of the busyness of Dundee and were very happy with the food experience at the Ship Inn. It’s a first floor restaurant, and you enter via a small lobby door with stairs up. Unfortunately the entrance is right at the bar, and the bar smells greet you immediately and that is not wonderful. The food was great, even better than that, but the place could do with a deep clean. The tables were sticky, and so were the majority of the surfaces. Staff were excellent and attentive, and the quality of the food really great, but a real clean and tidy would do wonders to improve the overall experience.

Absolutely one of the best dinners we have had all year. Outstanding in every way but especially the flavor profiles of each dish. You might want to make a reservation or plan to have a pint downstairs before going up for dinner. Tastefully decorated and quick and attentive service at all times. Try the Cullen Skink (in the states we call this fish chowder) and the Seafood Pie -- two of the best I've ever eaten and I'm over 60 years old. And reasonably priced considering we couldn't eat all our dinners with just a shared Skink and our own dinners. We took home enough for another dinner. The house wine was inexpensive and great, too.

On a day when the wind blowing off the Tay will cut you clean in two and there are only so many streets you can tramp up and down, looking for shelter somewhere dog friendly, The Ship is an oasis. And what a lovely welcome from the staff! If the rest of the extensive menu delivers food to the quantity and quality of the 'snack' I ordered (Cullen Skunk) then this is without doubt the place to eat in Broughty Ferry. Don't tell everybody though... Returned in the evening to learn that lunchtime assurances of bar food (I have a dog) were not to be. Most disappointing but I'll leave the rating unchanged for now.

Bitterly disappointed. Love Broughty Ferry and love the Ship. Tried calling to reserve a table three times but nobody picked up Came in tonight to see if any available tables but told they to busy. I asked why I couldn't book over the phone as nobody answering. I yet again was told to busy. I am puzzled how the were full when they only take phone or walk in reservation.... Answer the phone please 🥺 A very frustrated and hungry ex customer . Screenshots show my calls and their reservation policy
