Edinburgh favourite Dulse expands with second restaurant in Leith
Inspired by the success of the Plaice seafood pop up, Dulse grows with community and locality at its core.
Popular Edinburgh restaurant Dulse by Dean Banks Group is bringing its offering of fresh, local seafood to the shore, with the opening of a second location of his acclaimed restaurant, Dulse, in Leith opening next Wednesday, 13 November.
This expansion follows a record year for the original Dulse in the capitol city’s West End, which has become a go-to destination for Edinburgh residents and visitors alike, offering accessibly priced, high-quality Scottish seafood sourced directly from independent, local suppliers.
The success of the group’s seafood pop-up, Plaice, which ran over the summer, demonstrated the community's appetite for casual, accessible dining and inspired the group to reimagine the space. Dulse’s expansion into Leith is the result of this evolution, offering a laid back and community-focused venue that hopes to become a space for people to gather and enjoy a meal or a few drinks with friends.
Dulse has built a reputation for its emphasis on seasonality and the use of the finest local ingredients. The new location will continue this tradition, showcasing the best of Scotland’s waters while supporting the local economy. By using independent producers and maintaining close relationships with suppliers, Dulse ensures that every dish is fresh, traceable, and reflects the rich culinary heritage of Scotland.
In its opening week, the new Leith location of Dulse will be welcoming guests with an offer of 30% off the total bill, available throughout the opening week by quoting 'LOBSTER' on booking.
CEO Dean Banks commented: “After our Plaice pop-up this summer was a huge success, it showed us that there was a real demand for quality seafood that’s locally sourced and affordable. The support we received from the community was overwhelming and made it clear that opening a second Dulse was the right move.
“We’re excited to bring top-tier Scottish seafood back to the port neighbourhood of Leith, and we look forward to welcoming guests back to enjoy our fresh seafood in a relaxed setting.”
Dulse will be open for dinner seven days a week from 5pm, serving lunch from 12pm Wednesday – Saturday.
