The Daisy Tasker

And who could possibly forget about Hotel Indigo’s restaurant, The Daisy Tasker?

There for you to wine and dine in whenever you fancy, this 2 AA Rosettes-winning restaurant is named after a 14-year-old weaver who organised social events for the former jute mill’s workers.

Run by MasterChef semi-finalist Stewart Macaulay, The Daisy Tasker serves a diverse, Scottish cuisine menu, inspired by Dundee.

Plus, its drinks menu offers a range of locally produced spirits and cocktails for you to sample.

Sometimes coffee just doesn’t quite cut it. We’ve got a range of cocktails including this incredibly smooth espresso martini. Why not treat yourself?! ?

How are AA Rosettes awarded?

AA Rosettes are awarded by AA hotel and restaurant inspectors. The award-scheme aims to credit fantastic UK restaurants.

Of all the restaurants across the UK, only around 10% are considered deserving of one Rosette and above.
