Dune

The food

The kitchen works with local produce and changes its specials with the catch. Signature plates include trout pastrami and seafood crumpets, and the Lobster Shack sells lobster rolls daily from 11:30am until they run out, which is often early. Lunch is à la carte with small and large plates, and there are a few meat dishes for anyone not eating fish. Seafood dishes have included lobster or crab crumpets, baked scallops and cod and chips, depending on the catch.

Drinks and atmosphere

Upstairs in the loft, the cocktail bar runs its own changing menu, with wines, spirits, coffee and tea as well. Inside it is dim and intimate with booth seating behind a brick front; outside, the patio looks across to the tower of St Salvator's Chapel next door.

Booking and when to go

Tables can be reserved online or by phone, and walk-ins are welcome. Go early for the lobster rolls, book for dinner on busy weekends, or come later for cocktails once the street has quietened. Dune also takes event enquiries and sells gift vouchers. It sits in the heart of the university quarter, so term-time evenings are lively.
