dine

i met friends for a pre theatre dinner. we all had different choices from the marketmenuand everyone agreed that it was one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time.

added bonus the prosecco was on offer. the staff were all amazing and attentive too

dine opened relatively recently above the traverse theatre. this is a beautifully formed restaurant, circular in design and reoccurring in theme with a tree as a central focus. there was also an additional bar area off to the side. melon colada – dine. the menus had lots on offer and we could both pretty much eat everything on offer as it all sounded delicious. i decided to order from the a la cartemenuand went for ceviche of rock bass followed by venison. my dining partner for the evening decided to go with the incredibly good value marketmenu(£17.50 for three courses!) and opted for the ham hock terrine followed by seabream. she opted for a large glass of wine and i asked to see the cocktail menu, which offered great variety and went for a melon colada which i thought might compliment the flavours of my starter. it was delicious and would quite happily drink more!

dine with stuart muir has only been open a couple of weeks and so the place is pretty quiet, but now is the time to go and try it out before more people find out about this hidden gem. the expressmenumakes dine’s great food accessible to those with tighter budgets, or makes a great option for a pre-theatre meal. either way, it’s well worth checking out.
