Dulse - Seafood & Wine in Edinburgh, City of

Wonderful! Very sophisticated! Try the locally made vodka. Share two small plates and a main.. plenty for two people!

It was an incredible experience. As seafood lovers, the tasting menu was a lot of fun. Some highs, some lows (mostly to do with salt), but overall, we were very happy. The 'corn dog' at the beginning was delightful, crispy, smoky, hot, and slightly spicy. The second course was my favourite. I called it shreddies with fish. I've never had such a well-balanced and tasty bowl of shreddies! I would say the petals were a little unnecessary. It was such a different style of dish than I've ever had before, with the cubes of trout delicately nestled at the bottom of the bowl that . More pickles would have been welcomed, though. The third course was the difficult one for us. We love mussles! And I absolutely adore fresh tarragon, so the flavours were spot on. The only issue was the broth. It was so salty that we were craving something unsalted to balance it. I decided to order bread. which, as a standalone course, was fantastic. It was a paprika foccacia that felt like cornbread and tasted smoky and salty with a smoked salt butter. So delicious! But it definitely didn't work or help with the mussel broth. The fourth fish course was absolutely amazing. The fish melted in the mouth. Again, it was possibly a little salty and needed some more sharp flavours to cut through it. But overall, I couldn't get enough of it. The dessert, despite being far too full, was one of the best desserts I've ever had. They managed to make rhubarb not slimy! And that sharp lime flavour was so tasty and very welcomed after all the sodium we had indulged on. We would love to come back!

Delicious and inventive fish, shellfish and octopus dishes. A real treat.

A fantastic restaurant, the food was excellent and beautifully presented. All the staff were incredibly friendly and provided superb service. Well worth every penny!

Absolutely stellar dining experience!! Still dreaming of the luscious langoustines! All the staff were knowledgeable, warm, and welcoming! Definitely add this to your dining list for Edinburgh!!

I made a reservation here for dinner during my trip, and I think it was truly a great choice. I wanted to have seafood, and I was able to enjoy it in various ways. Every dish I ordered was absolutely delicious. It was such a happy moment to have such a wonderful time during my trip. I especially want to mention that the staff were incredibly friendly and gentle, which made the experience even better.

Amazing food: it's pricy but you can see where the money goes. The Arbroath Smokie spring roll is probably one of the nicest things I've ever eaten. Server Ausrine was great and accommodated us sharing a main course (turbot - huge, delicious). Comfy surroundings and convenient location.

Just had a lunch here celebrating my husband's and my birthdays. The environment was very relaxing and the staff were very warm and friendly. Ausrine attended our table, taking time to explain through the menu and seasonal dishes. We had brilliant oysters to start with, followed by a lobster spring roll and octopus couscous, and we shared an amazing champagne turbot as the main. For dessert, I had ginger bread with rhubarb, and it was so tasty (I'm very picky on rhubarb dishes). Overall the food was fantastic, from taste to presentation, and the staff were very nice. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys high quality seafood and a relaxing dinning environment.

Highly recommend. Food here is incredible, the mussels crumpet was a particular favourite! We also enjoyed the special turbot that was on offer and tried all the sides. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Our server austine was lovely. We had a beautiful view of the corner of the castle as well.

Simplemente delicioso, el mejor pescado y marisco de Escocia. Recomiendo encarecidamente el rodaballo de champán al horno. Ausrine nuestro servidor era genial también, muy profesional.

A truly lovely meal! It was our first time visiting Dulse, me and my partner celebrated my birthday as well as our anniversary and they really didn’t disappoint. We were seated on a beautiful table next to the window, the servers were extremely attentive, but not too invasive which I was very happy about. We started with oysters, trout, octopus and mussels - they all were reasonably sized and very delicious. I am not a big fan of cooked fish myself, however the truffle cod was a very pleasant surprise and I truly wish I ordered another one 🤭 Overall a great experience and a perfect spot for a special dinner!

Outstanding meal at @dulseseafood at the weekend. We loved every dish and cleared each plate! I would highly recommend if you are a lover of seafood and all things Scottish produce! Photos: Langoustines, Mussels on a buttered crumpet, Monkfish, Halibut, Cheese Platter, Dark Chocolate Pave.

Fantastic. Seafood was fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back.

It was good but I wasn't captivated by the dishes.

Great cocktails at the bar downstairs on arrival then upstairs for dinner in the subdued candlelit dining room . Exquisite starters ( mussels / octopus ) beautifully plated. Keen attentive not overbearing service. Well built wine list. We shared the baked turbot between three of us accompanied by the most buttery of confit potatoes. All round winner. Very memorable.

A very limited menu however it all looked delicious. I had the lobster and Arbroath smokie spring roll and my son had the BBQ octopus. Both dishes very rapidly demolished. We both went for the monkfish in a tamarind sauce again plates cleared. Finally a dark chocolate pave and a ginger bread cake desserts. And again cleared plates! Service excellent. Would highly recommend

Overall, the experience was not bad, however, it did not reach all expectations. The BBQ octopus was full of spice and you were not really able to taste the octopus. The langoustines were borderline burnt and had very little meat. The pastrami trout, on the other hand, was very good. The main dish of cod was quite good. The cheese was warm and sweating which is not good. Overall not bad but not exactly worth ir and they are selling themselves slightly above what they are worth.

Dulse is a lovely place for seafood. The dishes were tasty and they definitely had some unique elements, but I do wish they had just slightly larger portions.

Lovely fish and seafood restaurant in Edinburgh's West end. A bit on the pricier side, but so worth it! All local, all fresh, amazing quality food, interesting desserts, friendly service.

Perfectly cooked seafood, interesting menu, lovely people.

A lovely Valentines night out. Food was amazing best oysters we have had. Thanks we will be back soon.

We were in for the week from Florida and had the tasting menu. Every course was nice but several were exceptionally memorable. The amuse bouche, mussels, and langoustines (18 supplement) in particular were very memorable. The bread was possibly the best bread we had all week. The service was fine but maybe just not quite as good as some of the other great restaurants we’ve been in Edinburgh.

Walked around looking for a quiet independent place to eat and this just hit the spot. Food was just amazing, service brilliant and lovely cosy atmosphere. Worth every penny and will remember the meal for a long time.

Such excellent food and service! Very impressed

We visited for my parents’ 35th anniversary and had the best experience from start to finish! We all went for the tasting menu and wine pairing. Food was exceptional and portion sizes were perfect. The GM Laura was so lovely and informative, I can’t wait to see this place thrive.

Opted for the 5 course tasting menu for £69, food was very good, but felt portion size was too small, and overpriced, would be more appropriate at £49-£55. Service was good, staff knowledgeable, but felt rushed, barely any time in between the 5 courses and in just over an hour we were done! Not really the experience we were hoping for.

Superb in every way! Delicious food and excellent service!

Loved the creative seafood plates here. The booking process was a bit complex and we wished we could have seen actual menus to decide between course menu & a la carte. Had my heart set on the lobster, which wasn't on the actual menu. Settled for the lobster smokie spring roll, which didn't really taste of lobster, as the smokie flavor dominated. The scallop was truly a delight & worth £12. It was a really beautiful & tender scallop. The trout pastrami was also a beautiful dish. I took the BBQ octopus as a main & it was perfect. I would definitely skip the brussels sprouts (very soggy) and seaweed potatoes. The cod was also a bit underwhelming.

Gorgeous lunch at Dulse Leith. Great service, excellent lunch menu, good wine and non alcoholic options. 100% recommend.

As we love coming here, I’m on their mailing list. In December they were offering the Tasting Menu for 2 plus a bottle of wine for £99 in January. We dined Friday night. The Cumbrian Oysters were huge and delicious. The meal was fantastic, as usual. The Sauvignon wine was excellent too. The staff are brilliant and so knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks to all the staff giving us a lovely evening.

Awesome food, great service from the manager who was really lovely and engaging.

This was my birthday treat with my mother. Couldn’t have been a better experience. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Mum has lactose intolerance and the staff were able to guide us through what was suitable and what tweaks could be made to what dishes. They were equally helpful when it came to selecting the wine and even gave us a small taste to help us decide. The atmosphere was relaxed and the food was delicious. We would definitely recommend and will be back.

Good but not yet up to the standard of Dean’s other places. The tasting menu was mostly very good, especially the coley. The mussels were tasty but lacked attention: several empty and broken shells, others closed so too many discarded. That’s OK for a rustic place but not for fine dining. The restaurant was very cold….15C…we could see the thermostat. Other diners were sitting with coats on throughout. It took a lot of persuasion to have the one member of staff call the manager to do something about it. The first response was “That’s above my pay grade”. I’m sure it will come up to standard but for now, needs some management attention.

Overall a good dining experience. Spent new years eve at Dulse. The early courses were interesting and thoughtful. The menu got a little flat as the meal progressed. The last main and the desserts were standard gastro pub dishes. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was charming and comfortable. I think going where you can choose a la carte might be a better way to experience Dulse.

Really friendly service! Ambiance was nice and cozy. Food was ok. I would go back for the service and atmosphere, but not for the food. Loved the dessert however!

delitious seafood and paired white wine

Really poor service. Food is ok but the restaurant is not a place for fine dining. The price is however... 250 per person is not correct.

A very pleasant lunch. Tasting menu with wine Black Friday voucher offer. Nice relaxed ambience, attentive and friendly service tasty food.

Fabulous chilled evening at the Dulse Leith. Great food, great service!

We are just home for a really delightful relaxed lunch at Dulse. The food was imaginative, portion size perfect and unobtrusive and professional service. It was great to look down on the street scene above the hustle and bustle of the city from the pleasant interior. We all loved everything about our lunch today, thank you!

Let down by poor timing and a poor cheese course. A couple of nice courses from the 6 that we had: the mussel crumpet and the trout with spiced cabbage. Please just stop serving Scottish cheese (the blue was OK, but as most cheese lovers sadly expect of Scottish cheese, the other two two were massively under ripe / not aged properly). Service; courses arrived on top of one another before we had finished eating the prior course at least twice during a tasting menu. Two other courses appeared immediately after we had finished the prior course.Too fast. Please put one waiter/waitress per table and keep a track of timing. Matched wines are an absolute rip off at £59 per head. We bought a (expensive) glass of champagne each and a full bottle of wine between two and it was still half the cost of the matched wines. Worse was that the bottle was brought to the table and we were asked if we would like to taste it whilst our aperitifs were still 80% full; another timing letdown. Also putting a default 12.5% tip on the bill automatically is taking the Mick. A tip of £27.20 is above what I would pay for well-timed service on food (10%), especially since the food and drink itself was already expensive. Another time I visited I left a cash tip as I didn't notice it had already been put on the bill. I only realised when I got home that I had paid £75 in tips; the waiting staff didn't mention a thing when they saw me leave an additional £40 in cash.

We expected more! The food was not impressive, although it is clear that they are trying! We took the menu with wine accompaniment. It's better to take a bottle of good wine separately! We won’t come for the 2nd time;(

We had lunch here on a cold Scottish winter day. Our welcome was as warm as the air was cold and service never disappointed. Food is excellent and wine list simple but well matched. My only gripe is the opt-out charity donation which I always find virtual signaling and uncomfortable for the customer

Great experience - beautiful food, charming service and a lovely environment.

The service was top notch. Noah and Bilhal were outstanding and made us feel special. We had the Black Friday Tasting Menu. I had forgotten to put my allergies on the notes when I booked, but the chef and kitchen made special dishes to accommodate on the fly. The decor is warm and inviting with a beautiful colour palette. All in all it was a great experience. Will 100% be back!

Conclusion: you pay way too much for too little. Service: more concerned with "processes" than with the guests. No connection and make a rushed impression without paying attention to the table guests. Food: sometimes burnt, the mussel dish lay on a spongy surface, the dessert made from very simple ingredients. Cheese board (extra supplement) came with dry tasteless toast. The dishes followed each other at too rapid a pace, leaving you standing outside after an hour and a half, while we would happily dine an evening with a five-course menu. Interior and atmosphere: cozy interior with simple furniture and somewhat (too) hard wooden chairs. Overall just good with nice background music.

I don’t understand all the rave reviews for this place. My partner and I were visiting Edinburgh from London – we love seafood and wanted to treat ourselves to a special meal. Unfortunately we left disappointed and hungry. The oysters with bloody mary sauce were the only good part of the meal. The portions for the small plates and mains were laughably small. We had langoustines and got about 3 morsels of meat from them, not the juicy big langoustines you expect in Scotland. The mains were tiny with a really small amount of fish and vegetables on them. We mentioned to the server that we felt portions were too small and all they said was they’d feedback to the chef. The restaurant also had zero atmosphere or ambiance, and my partner was sat in front of a coat stand. We were still hungry when we left – not what you expect when you drop £160 on a meal for 2. We ended up going to Bon Vivant for a cheese board and wished we had dined there instead!

We arrived a little early but we were warmly greeted & shown straight to our table. All the staff were friendly & attentive in a quiet, professional manner. There was a nice gap between courses & everything was delicious. In particular the Mussel Crumpet & the Sea Bass special. Would highly recommend & we'll be back.

Every single moment of this experience was exceptional. We had the oysters, bread & truffle honey butter, spring roll, scallops, and cod. Finished off with the caramel pudding and chocolate gelato. Gabi was so knowledgeable and timed every course perfectly. Frankly, by the end of the meal, I was ready to go to war for Chef Dean and the Dulse team. 10/10.

Absolutely delicious food, impeccable service and lovely surroundings. Seafood cooked and presented beautifully and tasing delicious. We really enjoyed our meal and will be back!

I recently ate at Dulse, and it was such a treat. I had the oysters and the fish chowder, both of which were absolutely delicious. The seafood is super fresh, and everything pairs perfectly with their fantastic wine selection. The vibe is relaxed yet stylish, and the staff were really friendly and helpful with recommendations. It’s definitely a great spot for a cozy yet top-notch seafood meal. Highly recommend!

wonderful dining experience for a very special occasion. we were lucky enough to get window seating, too! short, concise menu and a knowledgeable staff who didnt mind all my questions about the food… starters were creative and main courses really showed off the flavors of the produce. the two deserts we ordered was a wonderful combination of sweet and sour, hot and cold, soft and crunchy… a nice bottle of wine and a glass of whisky certainly helped;-)

I had a fantastic experience here last Friday for dinner. We opted for the à la carte menu which gave us the opportunity to try as many of the small plates whilst also having the lobster as our main which was a win-win. The food was fantastic and well presented. The service from the entire staff helped to make the evening more enjoyable. Their friendliness and attentiveness is the reason why I would want to return. I would personally like to thank Jenny (the GM) who has gone above and beyond. The team are very fortunate to have you and so is anyone who has the pleasure of dining with you. Thank you Dulse.

Un encantador restaurante de mariscos que engaña a sus comensales a primera vista... desde un acogedor e íntimo piso inferior, puede continuar por la escalera de caracol para ser recibido por un personal amable y un espacio para una experiencia gastronómica relajante pero excepcional. El menú degustación y los vinos maridados eran simplemente deliciosos... el personal era informativo sobre todos los cursos y vinos. El Pan Asado Shetland Cod fue el mejor plato de la noche.

Encontrar un buen restaurante de pescado es bastante difícil, encontrar un restaurante de pescado excepcional es aún más difícil. Desde el momento en que llegamos, toda la experiencia fue memorable... es un ambiente tranquilo cuando entras por primera vez y a pesar de llegar unos minutos antes nos ofrecieron un asiento para tomar algo. El menú de cócteles es limitado, pero hay muchas opciones para bebidas antes de la cena. Todo el personal era amable y acogedor y completamente profesional durante toda la noche. En la comida... entre nosotros teníamos las langostinas muy bien presentadas y perfectamente cocinadas y el pastrami de trucha con centeno tostado, que era excelente. Los platos principales se servían en una cama de cassoulet y nduja - este tiene que ser el mejor trozo de pescado que he comido ... se cocinó a la perfección; junto a esto la trucha steelhead que mi esposa eligió se cocinó maravillosamente con un sabor sublime. Asegúrese de añadir patatas o verduras al plato principal. . . Sobre los maravillosos desiertos... la pavlova de lima clave es un motín de increíbles sabores zingy. El pudín de caramelo salado con helado de chocolate fue el acabado perfecto para mí! No puedo recomendar lo suficiente y no puedo esperar a nuestra próxima visita...

Some great dishes and some really average ones. Service was fairly poor. Asked for one wine pairing but got two on the first course. I mentioned it and they took it away but didn't bring the drink I actually ordered. I asked what the specials were and was told there weren't any despite the board saying ask about specials (there were specials another staff member told us). It was way too expensive for what we got and other Dean Banks restaurants are much better. I love Haar and Dean Bank @Caledonian is pretty good.

My starter was amazing I had the scallop and the main was lobster which was not great unfortunately

Incredible plates served with style, taste and attention to detail.

We had high expectations but I can't say it was perfect. The food is good, the service too, the place very sober. The sticky tables

nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à diner. les produit sont de proximités les huitres un vrai régal. une belle découverte. allez y pur découvrir les plats écossais. Bonne continuation Catherine & Johnny

Amazing tastes and sauces Staff also brilliant Bravo

Good morning. we had lunch last night and it was a treat. oysters from the Isle of Skye are excellent. the dishes are prepared with finesse. The typical Scottish products are of the day we advise you to go there. continue to please us in your Scottish cuisine. Catherine and Johnny from Bordeaux France

Sorry, but … way too expensive in relation to the serving size

An incredible fish restaurant with superlative local products. Innovative cuisine, difficult to explain, but worth trying if you love special things. I will always remember the lobster with thermidor that I tasted here! Prices appropriate to the level of the dishes.

The food was superb, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I had a wonderful meal and evening.

The food was flawless, the atmosphere perfect and the service from Jenny was warm, friendly and wonderful.

Visitamos Dulse para una comida de celebración de graduación y de principio a fin todo fue perfecto! Pedimos del menú a la carta y cada plato que tuvimos fue impresionante! Ni siquiera puedo elegir un plato destacado, ya que todo, desde la salsa picante de manzana cangrejo servida con las ostras hasta el vino de postre con el que terminamos la comida fue 10 / 10. Nuestros servidores eran encantadores, muy eficientes y perfectamente presentes sin ser dominantes, así que nos sentimos muy bien atendidos. También fueron capaces de ayudar con cualquier consulta que tuvimos y recomendaron ciertos vinos, etc, así que definitivamente estaban muy bien informados en el menú. ¡Como una pequeña bonificación adicional aleatoria, el jabón de manos y la loción en el inodoro de mujeres también fue un verdadero placer! No puede faltar nuestra comida en absoluto, sin duda una de las mejores experiencias en restaurantes que he tenido en Edimburgo y sin duda volveremos!

We visited Dulse for a graduation celebration meal and from start to finish everything was perfect! We ordered from the A La carte menu and every single dish we had was stunning! I can’t even pick one stand out dish as everything from the crab apple hot sauce served with the oysters to the dessert wine we finished the meal with was 10/10. Our servers were lovely, very efficient and perfectly present without being overbearing so we felt very well looked after. They also were able to help with any queries we had and recommended certain wines etc so were definitely very knowledgeable on the menu. As a little random extra bonus the hand soap and lotion in the ladies toilet was a real treat also! Cannot fault our meal at all, definitely one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in Edinburgh and we will definitely be back!

Excellent, absolutely delicious. We'll be back.

A restaurant that deserves a Michelin recommendation. Octopus and lobster received full marks.

An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Dulse We are currently visiting from Berlin and are passionate about good food (especially seafood). We came across Dulse on Google so decided to check it out last night. Booking was easy via the website. The moment we stepped into Dulse we were warmly greeted by the wonderful Bilal. The restaurant has a warm ambiance, a perfect blend of elegance and cosy charm, which set the stage for what turned out to be a truly memorable dining experience. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive. Bilal was our main server but we also had two lovely female servers who delivered our main courses to the table. Bilal was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also had a genuine passion for each dish, which made his recommendations all the more exciting. He went out of his way to ensure we had a wonderful experience (bringing me an extra hot sauce because I loved it so much!) The menu highlights for us were the Cumbrian oysters (take both sauces, trust me!), the sourdough bread, the blue fin tuna and the octopus. We went for the catch of the day which was turbot (400g for both of us) with a creamy champagne sauce and all the sides!! It was a symphony of flavors that danced across the palate, balanced perfectly and cooked to absolute perfection. The chefs creativity and skill is apparent and all of the ingredients worked beautifully together and were so fresh and delicious. Despite being full, we were gently persuaded (by Bilal) to round off our meal with the decadent sticky caramel pudding and I’m so glad we did. The dessert, was the crowning glory to a delightful dining experience. The attention to detail, not only in the food but also in the décor and atmosphere, made the whole experience feel special, we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh who loves great food, wonderful service in a chilled environment. We can’t wait to come back again!

We just had the most delicious lunch here. Outstanding service and the food was great. Highly recommend.

Lovely place with very nice servers! I wish we were placed upstairs as opposed to downstairs. It was very nice on the second floor. Just be aware that the bluefin tuna appetizer is very very small. As in you can eat it in one bite. It was delicious though. We also had the oysters and they were great! They had two sauces, but I would only recommend the vinaigrette as the other sauce did not pair well at all with the oysters. For my main course I ate the crawfish. The first plate I got was very underwhelming to say the least. Most of the crawfish were gray not only on the outside, but the meat as well. I ended up telling the server (which I never do) and they gave me a new and upgraded plate that was a LOT better. They also paired it with a sauce and some butter. I have never had crawfish with butter before, but it tasted amazing. I’m also happy the servers were eager to help.

I couldn’t recommend this place more! Some of the best seafood we’ve had. The food and service overall is great, also love the option of having sharing style plates.

Wonderful oysters. Didn't like the turbot at all

Lovely restaurant with many fish items on the menu. Excellent staff and interesting wine list. Would strongly recommend

One of the best restaurants in the city so far.

After being nearly shooed away for not having a reservation (there was no one in the restaurant at the time, and hardly anyone showed up while we were there), my friend and I were met with very mediocre and expensive cod. The real redeeming aspect here was the sourdough with honey and truffle butter. Everything else was subpar

The food was quite ok, but a bit boring. We had the tasting menu and it tasted just fine, but have had much better food elsewhere in Edinburgh, at a much lower price

A stylish restaurant that serves creative seafood dishes. We enjoyed lunch, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Some customers brought their dogs. We recommend the mussel crumpets. It was very delicious. The bread was piping hot and very delicious. However, the calm atmosphere makes it unsuitable for families with small children.

Delicious food! Fresh fish of the day's catch. When it's gone, you can be sure that the fish is really fresh. The presentation of dishes is beautiful. Highly recommended!

Most important food on the menu were missing, the bar was not successful. Couldn’t make a margarita. It was overpriced overrated.

If interested in a warm and friendly place to dine in Edinburgh, this place is one of the best. The staff made you feel like you were part of the family. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor is something rare in today's tumultuous times. I look forward to returning to this amazing city and when I do, 'dulse' will be the first place we will dine. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Really just one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The space is impeccable and the staff is so excellent and welcoming. It's fine dining without the pretense. I can't recommend it enough.

We had an excellent lunch at Dulse. We opted for the tasting menu, which was amazing. The highlights were the scallops and the lobster but my favourite was the halibut. Everything was cooked to perfection. The service was first class and the restaurant had a nice relaxed atmosphere. I was the designated driver, but the other family members really enjoyed the cocktails and wine. Hope to return soon!

Nice Seafood restaurant just off Princes Street. We sat upstairs and had the 5 course tasting menu with a white Grenache wine to compliment the food. Service was excellent and the food very good.

Des prix surfaits pour pas grand chose dans l’assiette…pas d’accompagnements avec les plats. Les produits viennent d’à peine 100km mais les prix sont triplés. Belle dégustation, mais il ne faut pas avoir faim 😬

When I ordered a meal online, there was a note on their website that asked you to fill in. I wrote this as a surprise for my husband's 60th birthday, so I booked this restaurant without my husband knowing the situation. When the waiter came to introduce me, I needed to take off my contact lenses and put them back on because my eyes were uncomfortable. He didn't notice this. So there are no surprises at all, including the fact that when I ordered dessert, there was no word "happy birthday" on it. I didn't mind if he wrote it in Chinese or put a sign on it, it was fine, but it didn't feel like a celebration at all, and the table was sticky. It was super uncomfortable. There was only one dish we ordered that I thought was too salty. It was basically OK but the presentation was not as nice as the ones online.

Okay, overall a bit overpriced for what we had off the ala carte menu.

A truly special culinary experience. Some of the most incredible dishes with lovely staff. The ambiance was great as well. Hard to beat.

We were recommended this restaurant by another restaurant owner in the area, and were not disappointed! The menu was excellent - it was hard to choose just a few dishes because they all sounded so delicious. The advise and guidance from the staff was very helpful. We enjoyed the food, wine and appreciated the wonderful service - thank you for a lovely dinner!

Amazing experience and food. Lunch menu was great value for money and delicious. Staff were incredible and very attentive, especially Maisy and the gentleman on the bar downstairs.

Our favorite restaurant in Edinburgh. The seafood preparations are imaginative and delicious but we were bowled over by the burrata with Isle of Wight tomatoes, salted melon and buckswheat. We loved the decoration and spaciousness of the rooms and the servers were all wonderful.

Superb food and service. Lots of gluten-free choices as well.Definitely recommend it.

Wonderful meal, well presented and friendly, efficient service.

Great service as always, love to bring people here for the first time to experience it!

Absolutely amazing food and presentation. Staff was very knowledgeable.

First class dinner.. went with a party of 5 for an early dinner before Fringe shows. Was so impressed by the service, setting and quality of food. Will definitely be back

My wife and I visited on July 26th to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary (though the restaurant was unaware of that fact). We had never been to Dulse before, so we were taking a chance, but our gamble paid off in spades and we had a perfect meal worthy of the occasion. The cosy, but tasteful decor and the warmth of our welcome from Jenny made an immediate positive impression which was confirmed through every step of the meal. We knew that prospects were good when the sourdough bread arrived on the table: no scattering of slices in a basked, but a whole small loaf with delicious whipped butter. The oysters were the best that we have had for a long time: plump and almost savoury in flavour and accompanied by two unusual but exceedingly good dressings. To follow we had trout pastrami, bass crudo, octopus - delightfully tender, mussels crumpet and lobster crumpet. When we challenged each other to choose a favourite dish, we couldn’t because every mouthful was a delight. The wines and cocktails ( a special mention for the lemon meringue!) were very good and, we thought, reasonably priced. The service was perfect: courteous, informative, and non-intrusive. Thank you to all at Dulse for a wonderful, memorable meal which was excellent value. We have already booked our next visit.
