Memories of Restaurants in Dundee

[dundee_til_i_die]

Antonio's on Roseangle was a brilliant restaurant about 10 years ago.

Used to go there a lot for a few Nastro Azzuro's and some Italian food.

My wife is currently racking her brains trying to remember the of the chinky above Millets.
It was originally the Continental Ballroom.

That word is in very poor taste and is insulting to Chinese people.

Just saying like.

Top of Peter Street.

I think it was the best burger place in Dundee at the time but also sure the owner had an (ahem) accident and it unfortunately experienced a fire that closed it down. Just before McDonald's came to Dundee as well.

Totally agree...The word was used twice by Islay in two posts...just cannae believe it was a casual slip of the tongue.

( On the basis of above Islay, I would like to ask you the following questions, if you feel like answering them... )

Would you use the term "paki shop" and believe it was not an offensive term ?

And if you had direct dealings on a personal level with your bank customers...how would you address them, if they were Asia, African etc ?

( I am not trying to "get at you"...I just cannae believe you would use that term )

First Chinese in Dundee was called the bamboo or the bamboo shoot.. Top of reform st .. Never lasted long as the Hong Kong the Kowloon and the or oriental garden got more and more popular .. Rumour at the time was loads of Chinese waiters and family kipped upstairs in the oriental garden

Yep!!!

Wimpy was on Reform Street but that was never a *fast-food* joint. Brumby Jumbos was Dundee's first foray into that world...

And yeah... strange that EVERYONE knows it was 'an accident'...

I am sure BRUMBY JUMBOS was in the nethergate/ High Street, around where Nandos is now,i thought they moved into the ground floor of the old Nicoll and Smiberts building?

Wimpy was in Reform Steet orginally, then closed and moved to the Murrygate a good few years later just along from Peter Street about where th
