Inspired by the southernmost location that Discovery reached in the Antarctic, 77º South blends the Scotland’s most recognisable flavours with views overlooking the bow of Captain Scott’s ship, and a spirit of adventure.
From a range of cakes and treats baked on site, to breakfasts that could fuel expeditions in the coldest environments, to light lunches showcasing Tayside’s best ingredients and producers, the 77º South menu caters to all.

A Taste of Scotland
A Taste of Scotland
Nestled in the former boiler room of Verdant Works, our cafe menu has something for everyone; whether it’s a delicious homemade lunch with friends; a cup of tea and scone served with Heather Hills jam; or an oozing strawberry sundae in the summer.
We take pride in sourcing our ingredients as locally and as seasonally as possible, adapting our menu to showcase the best fresh produce that Dundee and beyond has to offer seasonally.
On a sunny day, sit out in our peaceful courtyard and take in the beauty of the 19th Century architecture. In winter, come indoors and warm up with hearty soup and a scone.
