AWARD-WINNING SEAFOOD RESTAURANT
ONDINE EDINBURGH
Ondine Oyster & Grill is a proper seafood restaurant.
From the day that we opened the doors of Ondine in the heart of Edinburgh's historic Old Town, we wanted to create an atmosphere where people could roll up their sleeves, relax and truly enjoy the finest seafood and shellfish from the East Coast of Scotland and beyond, prepared with real love and respect.
Our emphasis is on the fishermen who provide us with the freshest and most sustainable produce, which we celebrate with knowledgeable yet satisfying cooking.
This year, we will also be adding something different to our menu, serving carefully selected cuts of meat from hand-picked British suppliers, simply grilled to perfection, with a beautiful crust on the outside, retaining all of the precious juices inside.
Meat selected for its quality and flavour, served as it should be.
We look forward to sharing our love of cooking with you soon.
