A Landmark Destination
Bridgeview Station is more than just a restaurant; it's a landmark destination. Designed to mirror the original structure of Dundee's old Magdalen Green Station, our building was constructed over a six-year period using local skilled tradesmen. Today, it stands as a testament to the city's rich heritage, boasting many individual features and an 1870's railway carriage, which was operational during the period of Dundee's infamous Railway Bridge Disaster. This carriage now serves as our takeaway outlet, providing a convenient option for those who wish to enjoy our delicious food on the go.

At Bridgeview Station, we believe in showcasing the very best of Tayside's local produce. We take great pride in supporting independent suppliers and small-scale farmers, and our kitchen philosophy reflects our commitment to using only the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. Our menu offerings are a harmonious blend of precision techniques borrowed from fine dining and the simplicity of everyday cuisine, resulting in dishes that are both innovative and familiar.
