The View is an aptly named restaurant. Set in the lovely village of Wormit, it overlooks the Tay Rail Bridge with a view of Dundee across the river. It even has outdoor seating where you can dine, have a drink and take in the view, weather permitting of course.
I had lunch here with friends and was very pleased with my meal. The main menu has options of 2 or 3 courses with a la carte options as well. I opted for the lunch menu and went with the Chicken tikka open sandwich. I was thoroughly surprised that it was actually chicken tikka strips on an open sandwich. (I was surprised simply because most places that advertise a chicken tikka sandwich really mean that they have chicken chunks in an Indian-ish flavoured mayo.) The chicken was served on a bed of salad, mayo and an impressively thick slice of brown bread (no complaints about this lovely bread). The sandwich was great. I did, however, think that it had too much mayo, partially due to the fact that I didn't feel like it added anything to the taste of the sandwich... but this is an extremely minor complaint, if not simply a personal preference. It was served with a side of coleslaw and small portion of salted crisps.
My friends got the impressive looking seafood platter for two, which I think I would recommend.
The View is a nice little unexpected gem in a village that has a post office and one local shop. If you're in Wormit or Newport, check it out. read more
