Tay Together is a grassroots network uniting independent businesses across Tay Street, Tay Square, and Perth Road — with more to come.
We’re here to connect, collaborate, and champion Dundee’s local scene. No fees. No fuss. Just good people, great ideas, and a shared goal to support and grow our community.
Tay Together isn’t run by one person — it’s a collective effort driven by the businesses who call Tay Street, Tay Square, and Perth Road home.
At its heart is a Founders’ Committee made up of passionate local voices who help steer the vision, guide decisions, and keep things moving forward. But every member plays a role — this is a network built on shared ideas, mutual support, and community pride.
We’re in this together — that’s the whole point.
We believe independent businesses thrive best when they’re connected — not competing. Tay Together exists to spark collaboration, share opportunities, and build lasting relationships across our streets.
We’re here to amplify local voices, champion creativity, and make it easier for everyone to succeed — not just as individual businesses, but as a united community.
There’s strength in solidarity. And there’s power in keeping it local.
Tay Together was born out of countless conversations between local business owners who shared the same thought — we’re stronger when we work together.
What started as a few neighbours chatting about shared challenges quickly grew into a movement. With a mix of passion, purpose, and a deep love for Dundee’s independent scene, we came together to form a grassroots network spanning Tay Street, Tay Square, and Perth Road.
There was no big budget or organisation behind it — just local people, building something real from the ground up.
As one of Dundee’s most distinctive independent restaurants, Don Padrino is proud to be a founding member of Tay Together.
Rooted in Tay Square, Don Padrino shares the same values that inspired the network — local pride, creative collaboration, and a commitment to elevating Dundee’s independent scene. From theatrical dining experiences to grassroots partnerships, Don Padrino brings energy, character, and real passion to the collective.
We don’t just serve the community — we’re part of building it.
A beloved name in Dundee’s food scene, Don Michele brings authentic Italian flavour and family warmth wherever it goes.
Although no longer on Perth Road and now proudly based on Exchange Street, Don Michele will always be part of the Tay Together family.
Its commitment to community, hospitality, and independent spirit remains unchanged — serving great food with heart and supporting the local businesses that make Dundee thrive.
Because no matter the street, true family sticks together.
