Good sea food option for Edinburgh. Great range of options on the day. Mixture of small 3 plates and 2 mains was pushing our limit. Managed to squeeze in a dessert between us! The seafood was fresh and of course exceptional well prepared. Good drink options to match. With a separate bar area downstairs from the restaurant providing cocktails. Staff friendly and helpful. Nice addition to the West End. Potentially expensive - especially during cost of living crisis - but we will return when possible.

We enjoyed our '6 plates for 4 people' meal through Itison. The goan curry and the crumble were very tasty. They catered well for gluten-free by serving me up soft warm bread as a side (not that awful crumbly bread you get elsewhere). Atmosphere upstairs is great, maybe need a think about how to do the same downstairs as felt like two completely different places.

A wonderful experience eating at Dulse. The food is on the more expensive side but this is warranted given the quality - our food was delicious (the Thai curry crab was one of the best curries I've ever had). Staff service was impeccable - a brilliant end to our Edinburgh holiday.

Went for lunch with a friend, we are both chefs so we were quite excited to see what this new venue had to offer. I'll say it now, this experience was 10/10 for both of us and we can't wait to come back. We obviously loved all of the star dishes such as the crab ( packed with flavour), the octopus, and the cod (which was cooked to perfection and the sauce is to die for). As the expectations for the star dishes were definitely met, us as chefs look for the small details, as an old headchef of mine said: "the difference between a very good place and an excellent place it's in the details", and yes, at "Dulse" they knew all about the small details. We were impressed by the taste and texture of the bread (not your average bread), the mussels couldn't have been cooked more to perfection, the crab was broken apart so well that it was so easy to eat it without any effort, the side of hispy cabbage was to die for (again, simplicity done right). One of our favourite dishes technically speaking was the Arbroath smokie tart ( couldn't have been balanced any better) as the tart was perfectly crispy and felt so delicate! I'm sure I'm probably forgetting a thing or two but everything just deserves a compliment, but of course I will include the exceptional care and service of front of house, as well as the perfect cocktails we got recommended which made the hole experience that much better. This shows how important is it sometimes to allow yourself to be recommended and guided for the best experience. Thank you to all the Dulse team!

Great new Edinburgh restaurant with a lovely wine bar. All food was amazing but the arbroath smokie tart was just brilliant. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend and I will definitely be back.

The food was amazing. For starters we tried the oyster sharer and we all loved it. As main I tried the Singapore style mussels dish and oh my! There is no turning back to Belgium after that 😂 Atmosphere wise, I don't think the interior design does justice to the food. It feels like eating at someone's house rather than in a fancy see food restaurant but maybe that is what they were after. All the waiters were so nice and kind.

I really really wanted to love this place.... Each individual plate of food was delicious, the oysters beautifully fresh, the Arbroath smokie tart was light yet super tasty. A few things let it down (on our visit). We could only be booked in early so the place was empty, lacking music and frankly a bit dull. Never mind, we thought, service will be cracking since there's not many people in yet. But no, everything took ages and the staff seemed very interested in making cocktails but rarely glanced at our table (nor the guys at the next table either). A real case of must try harder I'm afraid. The other gripe was the insistence that the dishes were sharing plates. They weren't. They were individual starter and main course plates. You'll see what I mean if you go. I don't like to leave a poor review but sorry, had to be realistic with this one 😐

A great new place for Scottish seafood. We were particularly impressed by the whole lobster thermidor, tender and succulent meat in a creamy sauce, and the meat tasted even sweeter and was firmer at the claw and knuckle. The highlight of our meal. We liked the octopus as well, a single well grilled and tender tentacle complimented by burnt tomato and citrus barley sauce which were nicely presented on plate. We had our oysters natural and they tasted relatively mild, good yet not among the best we have had in Scotland. Cocktails were just alright, though we didn’t come for that.

I enjoyed a fantastic night for the opening of the wine bar. We had several cocktails with recommendations from the bartender Conor. The plates showcase Scottish seafood, I particularly enjoyed the scallop dish and the tempura squid. I can't wait for my next visit to try (& drinks) more of the menu. Furthermore, it has a great atmosphere with friendly, attentive staff.

Occasionally I have a dish that I'll remember for...well... the rest of my life. In this case it was the Arbroath Smokie Tart with Dulse Seaweed. Presented simply, it has bags of flavour, with small bites of smoked haddock in a creamy foam, on a light filo pastry base. I'd eat it every day if I could. For main I had the Goan Curry, which came with a perfectly cooked fillet of cod. Then, for dessert, the Edinburgh Honey Set Cream with sliced plum and sunflower brittle (see photo). Dulse wins my personal accolade for restaurant of the year.
