Six reasons you need to visit one of the best restaurants in West End Edinburgh
As far as restaurants in West End Edinburgh go, we bring the finest ingredients that Scotland has to offer. It is what we do best. Since Dulse seafood and wine bar opened, we have consistently brought the most outstanding food, wine and cocktails to the capital.
If you haven’t visited one of the top restaurants in West End Edinburgh yet, let us give you a few reasons.
The menu changes often, and quite rightly so!
Our dishes change with the seasons, always. Dean and the team spend quite some time curating the most delicious and well-thought-out menus. These aim to showcase the best of what Scotland’s seasonal produce has to offer. Using ingredients that are in season allows for their flavours to shine, bringing you an unforgettable culinary experience.
Seafood that is caught fresh and delivered daily
We couldn’t bring you the best of what Scotland’s shores have to offer without it being the freshest and most delicious seafood around. Our team works closely with all our suppliers to ensure that we bring you the best. We only use local ingredients in the kitchen here, too, so you can rest assured that travel is kept to a minimum with all of our seafood. The lobsters, for example, are caught daily in St. Andrews Bay. Metres from our sister venue, Haar Restaurant.
Our cocktail menu is the stuff of dreams
Carefully curated by the Dulse bar team. You won’t find any of our creations on another cocktail menu. That being said, if you enjoy the classics, fear not. We still offer many of those, albeit with a little Dean Banks twist. Take our Dulse Martini, for example. On the face of things, it is still a classic gin martini. We have added a little pizzazz to our one, though, infusing Dean’s very own Lunun Gin with seaweed. This is also served with some caviar, in true Dulse style. You know how we do.
A delicious wine list that will take you on an incredible journey of the Old World
We have an extensive wine list that pays homage to the best European selections. Focusing on Old World wines, our team have sourced some fantastic wines from Portugal to Armenia, and they will always be on hand to advise on the best fit for your tastes, don’t worry.
Perfect for date night
It wouldn’t be date night without visiting one of the best seafood restaurants in West End Edinburgh. You and your significant other can indulge in a truly relaxed and memorable dining experience that is sure to impress! Enjoy some chilled-out drinks and small plates downstairs in our bar area, or head on up the Stairway to Heaven and enjoy the Dulse experience in our restaurant. Whichever you choose, you won’t be disappointed, trust us.
The most engaging culinary experience
At Dulse, we hold storytelling at our core, and this really shines through with the food and drink options from our menus. Each item on there has been meticulously thought out and has a tale to tell. Take our Wedding Martini, for example. One of our team, Connor, created this to be enjoyed at owner Dean’s wedding. Everyone enjoyed the cocktail so much that it has become a permanent fixture in our bar.
We have been open for quite some time in Edinburgh’s West End, and it has been an incredible journey to our opening in the capital. Bringing the best of what Scotland’s shores have to offer to the people of Edinburgh has been nothing short of spectacular, and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for us here at Dulse.
