Kweilin Cantonese Restaurant has served diners at 19–21 Dundas Street in Edinburgh’s New Town since 1984. The established dining room offers lunch and dinner in a relaxed, traditional setting, with table service suited to both everyday meals and small private gatherings.
Cantonese cooking forms the heart of the menu, with particular attention given to fresh Scottish seafood. Fish and shellfish can be steamed, stir fried or served with classic combinations of ginger, spring onion, garlic and black bean, allowing the main ingredient to remain central to each dish.
The broader selection includes soups, roast and braised meats, poultry, tofu, vegetables, rice and Cantonese noodles. Guests can choose familiar sweet and sour or chow mein dishes while also exploring clay pot preparations, seasonal seafood and less common traditional specialities.
A full bar accompanies the food and the menu includes vegetarian choices for mixed groups. Anyone with allergies or dietary requirements should consult the current menu and speak with staff, particularly because soy, sesame, gluten, fish, shellfish, egg and nuts may be used across the kitchen.
Address: 19–21 Dundas Street, Edinburgh EH3 6QG, Scotland
