It's not just the name that has attracted most of the attention but also the affable atmosphere and sumptuous seafood at this Hanover Street restaurant. So what to expect at The Dogs - canine paraphernalia, or perhaps even a chirpier version of man's best friend prancing around - well, definitely not the latter, for this is a clean, minimalist place that appeals to those looking for an easy-going, value for money kind of experience.

The menu inclines towards British and Scottish styles of cooking heartily supported by dishes such as spiced whitebait salad, slow roasted duck leg and creamed cabbage, and pan fried venison liver with bacon and onions. This could be followed by braised chicken leg, leeks, potatoes and prunes; pork belly with butterbeans, haggis and mustard, and game pie with rosemary scone.

The day menu at The Dogs is devoted to small bites such as kipper pâté and toast, creamed leek and cauliflower crumble, and roasted ham and piccalilli open bap with chips.
