The Royal Arch occupies a prime location in Brook Street, Broughty Ferry. A cosy and pleasant ambiance creates a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy your meal and drinks.
A Little Bit of History: The Royal Arch Bar is named after the Royal Arch monument built in Dundee during the 1840s to celebrate the visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1863. Though the monument was demolished in the 1960s to make way for the Tay Road Bridge, a fragment is on display at the bar. The Royal Arch is now owned by Jonathan and Alison Stewart, along with their son Jon and daughter Jenny.
Dining Experience: We offer an extensive menu catering to various tastes, from light snacks and healthy options to traditional fare and global favorites. Dine in our Art Deco-styled bar or our historical Tavern Bar, known for its authentic hand-carved solid oak gantry and bar dating back to 1849. Renowned for promoting fresh local produce, our menu ensures a delightful dining experience.
