Dine
About
Dine is an award‑winning brasserie, champagne and cocktail lounge tucked above the Traverse Theatre and next to the Usher Hall in Edinburgh’s bustling financial district. The restaurant boasts a polished timber interior and a striking circular atrium crowned with a life‑size apple tree, creating an ambience of relaxed luxury that feels both intimate and grand. The menu, crafted by Michelin‑starred chef Stuart Muir and his talented team, celebrates seasonal Scottish produce – from venison and fresh fish to locally sourced vegetables – and offers inventive twists on classic dishes. Mid‑week lunch menus begin at £23.50 for two courses and £30.50 for three, while dinner serves a selection of seasonal a‑la‑carte dishes that satisfy diners of all tastes. Dine is the ideal pre‑or‑post‑theatre dining spot for theatre lovers, business lunches, or a sophisticated evening out, and its mixologists offer flagship cocktails and a curated house wine list that complement every plate. Dining hours run from 12:00 to 16:30 on lunch days and 17:00 to 23:00 on dinner days, with the last sitting at 21:00, allowing generous time to savour the culinary experience without rushing. Reservations are encouraged, especially on weekends and during Edinburgh’s festive or graduation seasons, but walk‑ins are welcomed when space permits.
