Memories of Restaurants in Dundee

[Deeranged]

BRUMBY JUMBOS!

(That'll seperate the men from the boys!)

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.[/quote]

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'... [/quote]



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 lat

I remember being taken by my boss to a small Chinese up Stobie way late 70's early 80's that did set menu lunches. Cannae remember it's, anyone know ?

We will soon be on to Mr Beaujangles, the Timex, Hugh Farquhar's and the Barracuda/Coconut Grove...depending on your age...

Seem to remember it being pretty exotic when the Pizza Gallery opened up. Could well have been a pizza only joint before that but not sure?

Trying to remember the early Indian's as well. Dinnae say Chief Sitting Bull...!! I was thinking the wee Gulistan in Gray Street in the Ferry must have been one of Dundee's earlier ones??

I thought Nicoll and Smiberts was on the corner of the city square where the Clydesdale Bank is now???

A family member used to run the show in there.

My dad was a business acquaintance of the afoermentioned Mr Wong for a very short time before he met a sudden end... my old man also suspected a score had been settled by some fellow countrymen!

Good that these nostalgic posts come out when it is the close season.

My favourite one is still recounting your first outdoor shag though...!!!

Hello mydadwasadee,

From your post..."Good that these nostalgic posts come out when it is the close season."

"My favourite one is still recounting your first outdoor shag though...!!!"

The last bit might be a lively theme to pursue on the forum

But maybe NO (or maybe more so, in the hoose) if husbands/wives/pertners, are inclined to have a wee nosey to see what youe posting aboot.

Especially if you told them..."Of course, you were the first darling. I was saving myself (and keeping myself pure), until I met someone SPECIAL like you"

( I wonder how many posters on here, "saved" theirselves for that special person ? )

The former bit o' your quote aboot nostalgia filling in the space left on the forum during the quiet fitba news time in close season...

I am no sure if you are serious, or if many posters agree with you...

But I've decided to start a new topic on "auld picture hooses".

Which could easily fit in with your last quoted subject... but I'm thinking of the more innocen
