In-Depth Profile

The Selkie

The Selkie Dundee opened on Exchange Street in 2020 and is the original venue within The Selkie Group. It has established itself as a welcoming, community-focused hospitality space in the city centre, serving seasonal food with an emphasis on quality produce and bold flavours. The menu centres on breakfast, lunch and tapas-style small plates, alongside cocktails designed for sharing. Dishes change regularly to reflect seasonal ingredients and customer feedback. The Selkie Dundee plays an active role in local community support. It hosts regular events and initiatives aimed at reducing social isolation, including the Soup and Pudding Club, which provides free meals in a warm, no-questions-asked environment. Local welfare organisations refer individuals to the venue as a trusted point of frontline support. The venue employs a diverse team and places strong emphasis on staff wellbeing, inclusion and skills development.
