Boat Brae has announced it will be closed “until further notice” following a blaze in the restaurant during the early hours of the morning.
Fire crews rushed to the Newport-on-Tay restaurant just before 6am on Saturday morning after a fire broke out in the ground floor of the building.
The owners issued a statement online to say they have been forced to close the restaurant and cancel all future bookings due to the damage caused by the blaze.
The statement read: “Boat Brae will unfortunately be closed until further notice due to a fire on the premises.
“We are so sorry to have to cancel all bookings and hope to be back up and running as soon as possible.”
Crews remained at the scene for five hours
Three fire appliances from Dundee and Fife were sent out to the fire for around five hours.
The last two appliances left the scene at around 11.15am.
The remnants of the blaze has been left outside at the front of the restaurant, including a badly damaged washing machine.
A spokesperson for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We were called at 5.53am to a fire in a commercial building that is used as a restaurant.
