    I recently dined at The Selkie on Exchange Street in Dundee, and what a delightful experience it was! The cozy atmosphere immediately drew me in, offering a warm and inviting escape from the hustle and bustle outside. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed evening with friends or a romantic dinner. I opted for a selection of tapas, and every dish was a hit. The lamb and steak tapas were truly standout – perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor. The rich, savory taste of the lamb was a particular highlight, while the steak was cooked to perfection, delivering that satisfying melt-in-your-mouth sensation. Alongside these, the mussels were a treat, fresh and succulent with a deliciously rich sauce that had me dipping in for more. And, of course, no tapas meal is complete without patatas bravas! These crispy potatoes, paired with a tangy and slightly spicy sauce, were the perfect accompaniment to the meal. The staff at The Selkie deserve a special mention. They were attentive without being overbearing, ensuring that every aspect of the dining experience was top-notch. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and their passion shines through in both the service and the quality of the food. If you're looking for a dining experience that's both comforting and memorable, The Selkie is definitely worth a visit. With its charming ambiance, delicious tapas, and stellar service, it’s a gem in the heart of Dundee. Highly recommended!

    The food and service were brilliant. Relaxed atmosphere and cool decor. Went at 6pm on a Wednesday and it was moderately busy so glad we booked ahead but they were taking walk-ins too. Great place to eat!

    Lovely lunch at Selkie had a selection of tapas between 3 of us ( including one vegetarian) and plenty of choice for all. Will definitely be back.
