Our Philosophy
The finest taste of Scotland.
Dining at the Dunstane Restaurant & Bar is an exquisite and distinctive culinary experience that celebrates Scotland's finest harvest, sourced responsibly from the pristine waters and verdant landscape of the breathtaking homeland. Indulge in succulent crab, lobster & clams, freshly harvested from the Scottish seas or savour tender cuts of beef from across bountiful Scottish borders and lamb reared in the rugged Highlands. We source from select local farms and fishermen who share our commitment to fresh, seasonal and sustainably sourced ingredients. Every dish on the menu is carefully curated and artfully presented, balancing depth, taste, texture and a deep sense of place. It's not just a narrative of culinary traditions and provenance, but a truly sensory experience.
Fitness
At The Roseate Edinburgh, we encourage guests to maintain their fitness and wellbeing routines in ways that suit them. Each room is thoughtfully equipped with a yoga mat, allowing you to practice yoga or stretching at your own pace.
For those who enjoy walking or running, the scenic Water of Leith Walk is just steps from the hotel. This picturesque riverside route winds through charming greenery and leads all the way to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, offering a perfect blend of exercise, nature, and culture.
