Dulse West End · 17 Queensferry Street
Seafood and wine for two
A wine bar downstairs and a dining room upstairs, a short walk from Princes Street. Our wine list holds an AA Notable Wine List award.
Dulse Leith · 102 Constitution Street
A relaxed night in Leith
Relaxed and lively, in the heart of Leith on Constitution Street. Seafood to share and a table for the two of you.
The food of love
Seafood, wine and a little romance
Seafood and love go back a long way. Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, was said to have risen from the sea. She gave her name to the word aphrodisiac.
Oysters
The original aphrodisiac
Oysters have had a reputation for romance since Roman times. Casanova is said to have eaten dozens for breakfast. The science is less certain, but they are rich in zinc and there are few better ways to start a date. Ours are Scottish. See oyster hour.
Shellfish
Made for sharing
Langoustines, crab and scallops are made to be shared. There is something about cracking shells across a table that brings two people closer. Dulse is built on Scottish seafood.
Wine and cocktails
A toast to you both
Fizz has been the drink of celebration for centuries. Ours is Champagne from Devaux. Our wine list holds an AA Notable Wine List award, so let the team find the right bottle from the wine list, or start with a cocktail at the West End bar.
Lobster and Champagne
St Abbs lobster. Devaux Champagne.
Lobster has long been the special occasion order and it is one of the most popular things we serve. Ours comes from St Abbs on the Berwickshire coast and you'll find it at both West End and Leith.
To pour alongside it, there is Champagne from our partners at Devaux. The house was founded in 1846 in the Côte des Bar, in the south of Champagne, where Pinot Noir leads the blends. It was run for much of its early life by the women of the Devaux family and today makes its home in an 18th-century manor on the banks of the Seine.
