Overall Rating

Excellent

Level access restaurant joined on to Hotel Indigo in the city centre of Dundee selling delicious food.

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

There are 2 sets of double automatic doors to enter Daisy Taskers which was great because it was torrential rain the day I visited. To exit the restaurant there is an automatic button to open the closet set of double automatic so that the doors don’t open every time people pass the, the button was at a great height for wheelchair users. I would say the tables are well spaced out to get around the restaurant however, I didn’t have to go around them because we got seated at an outer table although you can see a photo of the table layouts below. There was plenty of space at the table for myself and my friend in our wheelchairs, as well as space for her assistive dog to lie on the floor. You can also see from the images below that there are booths as well as standard tables. A couple of the booths have chairs that you can move for wheelchair users that can get into the table. The bar is quite high so, if you are visiting Daisy Taskers I’d recommend sitting at a table.

Parking & Transport

Excellent

There are accessible and standard parking space available outside the entrance to Daisy Taskers and Hotel Indigo, as far as I can remember there were about 3 accessible parking spaces at each entrance. Daisy Tasker is located roughly a 15-minute walk from Dundee train station and a 10-minute walk from Dundee bus station. I would also say there are plenty of taxi ranks around Dundee to get a taxi from the train and bus station.

Accessible Toilets

Excellent

The toilet for Daisy Taskers is located within the lobby of Hotel Indigo. I would say that the accessible toilet is fairly spacious but, you would have to move the bin at the left-hand side of the toilet for an easier transfer as there is a sink at the other side that blocks transfer access. Within the toilet there would be enough room for a wheelchair user to have assistance from someone. There are enough grab rails around the toilet and you can see an image of accessible toilet below. The closest Changing Place toilet is at the V&A which is open until at least 5pm.

Staff

Excellent

I would say the staff were very friendly when we visited and they gave my friends assistive dog a bowl of water when she arrived. They served our food very quickly but, I feel they weren’t very attentive during the rest of our visit.

Additional Information

The food is delicious and there are a few little plates to choose from if you can’t eat that much.
