Creel Restaurant in East Lothian

One of the best restaurants in East Lothian. Seriously - relaxing atmosphere, friendly service and unique food. The cod with curry and coconut is a must! Highly recommended. Fingers crossed they'll get the Michelin star anytime soon :)

Very nice restaurant, delicious food and polite waitress! Soup and sandwich in a bundle called The Combo is very delicious plus there is lots of bread - a perfect lunch that provide you energy for the whole day exploring the beach. Highly recommend for all travelers!

Tasty dishes, gorgeous flavours, yum! Your chef is amazing! Been for dinner and was blown away with the flavours and the freshness of the ingredients in our dishes. Wow, we left happy. Starters were perfect, mains were perfect couldn't fault this place. I never imagined cod could be so tasty and delicious. Everything cooked to perfection from scratch so be patient you won't regret it. We booked again to return a second night but sadly had to cancel but we will return! Wonderful place brilliant service with extras and atmosphere. Thank you!

A wee gem. The food is unique, fresh, absolutely wonderful. Honestly, the cod was faultless! Probably the best I have had so far. Good wine, lovely, relaxing atmosphere with friendly staff. We've had a great time and we will definitely be back for more..

Fantastic food and friendly service. The food is cooked fresh and tastes amazing. We have just enjoyed a fantastic meal in a really cosy setting.The soup was delicious -you have to try it.What a find and so reasonably priced as well. We will be back when next in Dunbar

We visited The Creel on the 14th February 2020 for a Valentine's Day meal and had a table booked for 6.30pm. However, the doors remained closed until just after 6.30pm where we, along with another couple waited outside in very cold conditions. This, is quite ridiculous and shows little 'Customer Focus'. Upon entering the restaurant it was cold and despite asking, no attempt was made to increase the heating. Moreover, after ordering a £37 bottle of red wine the wine was served very cold and not appetising in the least. Weren't the owners aware of serving red wine at an appropriate temperature? This is not the first time this has happened to us.In summary, although the food was undoubtedly good, bearing in mind the problems encountered, an overall cost of £117.00 for the meal was too much by far. With many new housing developments being built in Dunbar, The Creel needs to improve its attention to detail and its overall performance in order to retain its existing customers and attract new ones.

Fantastic food & service. Wine was excellent too. Logan couldn't accommodate our request for seafood platter, but made us a complementary amazing lobster dish with aioli. The little rhubarb palette cleansers & other little touches makes The Creel THE place to eat in Dunbar.

Popped in to Dunbar to find somewhere for a bite to eat whilst on our way to Fonab Castle for the weekend. Found the Creel a few minutes from the high Street. Ordered the Shellfish soup and toasted sandwich combo and was only expecting a fairly normal snack taste experience. How wrong could we be. Out comes our food,two quite small bowls of soup and very luxurious looking toasted sandwiches along with some garnish and decorations. Biting into my cheese and onion toasty my eyes rose to see my wife doing likewise. They tasted amazing. These had been made with love. Next step the soup. What an amazing flavour, like a lobster bisque. Lovely and rich and at just the right temperature. This was no ordinary snack type lunch. This was food that my wife and I were still talking about, even during a five star dining experience at Sandemans that evening. Thank you to the Creel for a lovely lunch. We will be back!

We had excellentellent food and service. All food freshly cooked to order and there is a good selection of seafood dishes on the menu. The restaurant serves locally sourced meat and fish. It also has local beers and a whisky.

Fab food, starter of prawns was amazing. Had the steak for main and would have been 5 star had it came how I wanted it cooked however I still enjoyed it! You have to wait a while for the food but you can see why when it comes. Nice atmosphere also :)
