Quick info
About The Selkie
Tucked away down a side street on Exchange Street in Dundee, The Selkie is a small tapas bar and restaurant with a compact dining room. The kitchen covers a selection of smaller tapas dishes, with halloumi and patatas bravas among the options, and sangria is available to drink. Coffee and cake round out the later part of the menu. Booking is advised, though walk-ins can sometimes get a table, and the room handles both.
