Boat Brae in Newport

Welcome

Boat Brae overlooks the Firth of Tay and out towards Dundee.

The menu focuses on creating well-known dishes with a contemporary spin, as well as sprinkling the menu with unique flavour combinations and dishes that hail from all over the world. You’ll find it particularly popular on Sundays – when roast dinners with all the trimmings are top of the menu.
