“A fairly new fish restaurant with an unusual menu plus daily specials. Great staff and a particular hat-tip to the bartender who mixes a mean cocktail. Small downstairs with larger dining room upstairs and tables well separated. Well worth a visit” - David Leach
“This place does not deserve less than a 5/5 !
Staff is really kind & great. We were speechless about the quality of the products used to prepare meals.
Octopus & scallop dish were just the best i ever tried !
This was such an amazing evening having dinner at this place.
I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for great food served by great people!” - Rebecca
“Genuinely one of the nicest meals I've ever had. Arty and different but without being overblown and off-putting. Even the bread was amazing.
Favs for us were the oysters, trout and the incredible smoked tart.
Service was chilled and laidback. Very reasonably priced for the quality too.” - Martin Thorn
“We had the 342 menu at lunchtime, three courses for two people. We picked Arbroath smokie tart, cod and goan curry with which we ordered seaweed baby potatoes to soak up the sauce. Finished with strawberry and sunflower brittle. There was a bit of a wait for the potatoes as they were roasted, but worth the wait. Necessary to get all that sauce. Bread loaf is another option, both extras on the menu. Adele had wine and I had Bon Accord rhubarb juice. Service was good and the place filled up with people being turned away.” - Joseph Kincaid
“The food was great! Especially the singapore style noodles (with breadcto dip up the juices!), the tart and the set cream.
The chilli could have been more outspoken with the monkfish and the fruits with the raw scallop didn't win us over.” - Wendy de Peuter
“Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere. What more could you want? Menu provides plenty of choice without being overwhelming and the "made to share" dishes make it so easy to try several things!
Only comment would be that one or two dishes were slightly over-salted.” - Ted Peppas

We spent a really nice 2 hours at Dulse. Dulse has a modern, fresh feel to it. Service is great and assuming you like seafood and fish, this is the place for you - quality produce, well cooked and put together - leaving you feeling as if you have had a high quality dining experience.
Prices are about right for the quality you get.

I meant to take pictures of the food for the review, however turns out they looked that good i dug in before the camera could come out of the pocket!
I think we pretty much tasted all the menu plus 3 loafs of bread!
My favorite being the lobster crumpet! So juicy and tasty could of eaten more of them but the other 12 plates were arriving.
Love the idea that it comes as and when so you gradually get through everything, just needed a bigger table for all out plates.
I think its seafood with a twist, lost of flavors with an Asian twist. Plenty of spices and sauces which are epic!
Cocktails on point cannot go a miss.
All in all a great experience. Will certainly be back!

3 friends (all local to Edinburgh) 3 small plates, 2 large plates, 2 sides, 2 desserts, 1 bottle wine, 1 coffee. Not got a bad word to say about anything. Our small plates were all fabulous but arbroath smokie tart just pipped. The main dish of hake was small ish but prepared beautifully with gorgeous sauce. Chocolate Pave dessert smooth and crunchy, perfect end. Will definitely recommend to fish loving friends (no meat/veggie except vegetable sides). If I could change anything would request larger plates in general and serving spoons should be provided when all dishes to share (arrived on request). I eat out a lot and best new place in Edinburgh for a while.

First visit and our group of four thoroughly enjoyed it. We started with oysters and then shared a variety of dishes with delightful home made bread and a side dish of tasty potatoes, we also shared a lovely Albarino to accompany all of this delicious food. It was our first visit but it won't be the last.
PS - staff were really attentive and helpful.
