Sandbanks Brasserie
This Broughty Ferry spot offers a delicious Sunday roast – plus gorgeous views while you eat it.
The roast lunch at Sandbanks includes the slow roasted rump of 36-day aged beef from the Hendersons butcher in Glenrothes.
The team at Sandbanks Brasserie cook the beef for 90 mins at 90 degrees until it reaches 38 degrees internal, they then roast the beef very hard on the fat side until it’s golden brown and the fat has rendered.
It is served with huge Yorkshire puddings, carrots, dauphinoise potatoes, green beans, braised red cabbage and a side dish of cauliflower cheese – yum!
