    Lovely tapas at the selkie. Quick service and good variety on the menu. What would be good if they did a set menu of a variety of dishes at a set price like £25 a head.

    This is a real find. A great range of Tapas on the Dinner Menu with an excellent Wine List offering great value. Staff were friendly and lively to the point of chasing me up the street to return the Bus Pass I had dropped to me. Will certainly investigate Lunch in the near future and return one way or another.

    My partner and I have been here a number of times now and always love it. The food is delicious, the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive without being over eager and the ambience is lovely. The place is beautiful and the music is entertaining without being too loud. We usually get a bottle of wine or a couple of cocktails and 5-6 dishes between two of us and the bills have been between £40-60 which I think is an absolute bargain for the quality of the experience. Would definitely recommend this place for a lovely dinner.

    We go here every time we visit Dundee and always have a great time here. The food was amazing as usual it was a complete new menu since we had been and it didn’t disappoint. The pork belly just melted in the mouth the Parmesan chicken was amazing so tasty and the cauliflower sauce was soo gooey. The service was great we had a young man with an accent and was very friendly.

    Lovely food but unfortunately, we were given the wrong bill on 2 occasions. First bill came to £70-odd and on checking, pointed out that we had been billed for items we had not ordered or received. When second bill came, the same thing happened When third bill came, this was correct - £53-odd. Quite a difference. I would suggest that anyone going to The Selkie check their bill thoroughly
