Overview

Set inside a reimagined former pub in one of Edinburgh’s liveliest pockets, Dogstar brings an energetic, welcoming atmosphere led by a genuinely warm team. The Modern Scottish menu leans seasonal and fluid—shifting week to week, sometimes day to day—with a focus on shareable plates that highlight exceptional ingredients, often kissed by the grill. Expect thoughtful compositions like tender local surf clams paired with sea laver, rosemary, and a splash of fino sherry. A well-edited wine list rounds things out, offering plenty of variety without overreaching on price.
