    Confession - Im not a huge steak fan but have tolerated more than a few steak restaurants in my life, since my husband loves it. This was simply the best steak meal I have ever had. Cooked to perfection, divine sauce (red wine and blue cheese, fries and green beans that were the best I’ve ever tasted. I couldn’t fault a thing.. Staff were great, amusing and we felt ……..honest about the steak cuts. Not too much information - just enough to feel you were making an informed choice,. And the choosing of you steak knife was novel. Not cheap but a lovely place for a special meal, quality ingredients, expertly prepared. Next time my husband wants a steak restaurant, I know where I’ll be wanting to go. Thank you Kyloe!

    We had a fabulous lunch at Dulse. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, the crockery was aesthetically pleasing and the food was so fresh and appealing. We went for the set menu of muscles, baked cod and desserts (although one of us had the Argentinian prawns from the Specials board- extra cost but worth it) all the food was delicious.
