No atmosphere , too few staff and food was ordinary . The wine waiter poured the wine without asking if we wished to taste and then filled every glass to a different level . When he was requested to open the red to let it breath, he didn’t know why we wanted to do that .. This at Hotel du vin !!! The clue is in the title .

What should have been a wonderful evening to celebrate my daughter's birthday was a disaster. We waited over 45minutes for our starters and they forgot the main course for our youngest member of the family. It arrived so late that she was too tired to eat. The waiter gave incorrect descriptions of some of the dishes which also led to disappointment. The manager did give us a discount on the meal but that did not compensate for a spoilt celebration. Having said that, the bar stff were extremely efficient and helpful.

Having eaten before at Hotel du Vin in Edinburgh and St Andrews we were very disappointed..6 friends meeting up for the Fringe. It was explained there were no olives..no Chateaubriand and they had ran out of Grouse whisky..it was only 3.30pm. All this is understandable at Fringe time but the girl who was serving us (wearing a checked jacket) had an unfortunate manner..she was very off hand and acted as if she was superior to us all.

Si tratta di un locale situato all'interno di un hotel elegante, preceduto da un suggestivo angolo di un piccolo giardino, che abbiamo trovato molto accogliente e caratteristico. Il personale è davvero gentile e disponibile e le pietanze provate sono risultate gustose. L'anatra è notevole, la bistecca tradizionale e i dessert buoni, tra cui la black forest davvero degna di apprezzamento. Prezzi medio-alti.

The overall experience was nice and majority of food was lovely. However they really need work on the presentation of the black pudding salad. I really hope this allows me to upload a photo- because it looked honestly like a dog had squatted onto a salad plate. I’ll leave it at that!! My poor mum didn’t know what to say ( we were all laughing becasue it looked so awful) so she just broke it up and ate it. A better woman than me!!

Was celebrating a big birthday with a group of friends from all over the UK. We all met at Hotel Du Vin for a private Saturday evening dinner, nearly 30 people. Champagne on arrival, a sumptuous meal in their private dining room, birthday cake all round - everything was perfect! Everybody's food was divine. Wines also excellent (the clue is in the name) All of the staff at HDV were very professional but also genuinely warm and friendly. Such a special, memorable evening. A hidden gem amongst Edinburgh restaurants - highest possible recommendation

Vi nød en dejlig middag, velsmagende og pænt anrettet. Vi smagte hhv. kylling med kartoffelmos samt rumbsteak med pommes frites og bearnaise. Restaurantens lokale er hyggeligt dekoreret med utallige mindre indrammede reklameplakater fra tidligere tider, og med vinetiketter og andre effekter, der giver et fransk præg. Vi havde forsøgt på forhånd at bestille chateaubriant på hjemmesiden, men siden kunne ikke ekspedere bestillingen. Derfor forsøgte jeg at skrive til restauranten af to omgange, men mine mails blev desværre ikke besvaret. Det var lidt skuffende.

It was a shame as we were staying in the hotel but the service was pretty poor to be honest. Started off fine but then we just seemed to be forgotten between courses every time. It wasn't as if it was busy, 4 or 5 tables at the most. Had to wait for the starters to turn up because nobody took our wine order and waited 20 minutes for the desert menu to arrive. There was just no body around! A pity as the food is pretty good but this sort of thing just spoils it.

Visited restaurant on 19th October, we had been before and meal was really good. I opted for bouillabaisse, I was looking forward to the fresh taste of fennel in a seafood stew. The plate arrived, instead of a nice consommé type broth there was a pile of gloop in the bottom of the plate. It looked suspiciously similar to the contents of my grandson’s nappy. It was topped with one Luke warm prawn, two prawn heads, some mussels, who could have been the stunt double for Zelda from the Terrahawks, some greenery and a fillet of sea bass, the red mullet had already been reported as MIA. There was also another gloopy blob of caramac coloured substance, whose identity remains unknown. As for a taste of fennel, I think the dish may have been shown a fennel seed before being brought out. The meal was sent back and I refused the offer of something else. If a Chef was responsible for this he or she should be ashamed of themselves. We will never go back.

We chose Bistro du Vin for a birthday lunch in the Burke and Hare private dining room, for 17 people (adults and children). Overall the experience was faultless - right from the first contact with Martyna we were made to feel that nothing was too much trouble and communication was always prompt and to the point. Martyna did a great job working through our requirements, sorting out dietary needs and ensuring everything was as expected on the day. On the day itself Rene and his team were outstanding. Everyone was made to feel welcome, service was efficient but still warm and friendly and Rene was ever-present without ever being intrusive. The food itself could not have been better, and everyone left talking about already booking their next meal!

We visited Hotel du Vin for a special meal on Friday 7th August .... we were greeted by a very friendly lady and liked the ambience. I ordered steak and asked for it as advertised ... pink. It was done to shoe leather We asked for wine with the meal but had to ask for it to be served and it arrived when we had almost finished without an apology from a male wIter who was clearly not i terested in his job The rioja was delicious We decided to have another one and the rioja tasted as though it was dregs . I complained and was offered another glass but stupidly did not want to make a fuss The bill was £100+ which would have been OK but not with the poor service, poor food and atrocious wine. I did nor want to make a fuss as it was a special visit and it would have spoiled the moment .... I should have done!!!

Wir waren zwei von den 78000 Touristen, die Edinburgh zu "Hogmanay", also dem schottischen Silvesterfest, besucht haben. In weiser Voraussicht hatten wir über die Toruismusagentur ein Abendessen im Hotel du Vin gebucht, ansonsten wäre am 31.12. wohl nur McDonald möglich gewesen. Das Dreigangmenue bestand aus Wildpastete, wahlweise Fischfilet "Wellington" im Blätterteig oder Tagliata vom Rehrücken und einem Dessert.Das Essen war nicht schlecht, aber es war Massenabfertigung. Die Wildpastete war kaum gewürzt und liess die Gewürze vermiassen, welche Wild erst zum Wild machen: Etwas Wacholder, ein Hauch Nelken. Das hier schmeckte nur nach Fleisch mit Salz. Ähnlich sparsam waren Fisch und Rehrücken gewürzt, nicht schlecht, aber auch kein Hochgenuss. Enttäuschend war auch die Weinbegleitung, insbesondere angesichts des Anspruchs der Namensgebung des Hauses. Weisswein und Rosé, glasweise ausgeschenkt, schmeckten so, als sei die offene Flasche schon mehrere Tage im Kühlschrank gestanden - abgestanden, ohne jegliche Brillanz. Wir haben die Gläser halbvoll stehen lassen, was eigentlich nicht unsere Gewohnheit ist.Positiv zu vermerken ist der professionelle Service und die schöne Einrichtung des Restaurants. Vielleicht müssen wir nochmals wiederkommen, wenn der Stress eines Silvestermenues nicht auf der Küche lastet.

We were a part of a tour group who stayed here and had a dinner and and breakfast. The dinner was with our tour group, we were to get a free drink and a meal. The staff were not told about the free drink we were to get, so we had to follow that up to ensure we weren't charged. The meal was one option for all, not sure if the tour company demanded this or the restaurant just did this on their own. Bottom line, I did not enjoy the meal, and judging by the amount of risotto sent back, many others did not like it either. The breakfast was much better, lots of choices and the meal was delicious. The staff at both dinner and breakfast seemed to be put out by any requests. The best employee there was the bar keep who was very pleasant and no request was too big. The ambience is nice in this place, but staff need more training regarding customer service.

This restaurant was a refuge on a busy Friday evening during the festival. Was expecting slow and poor service but how wrong. The staff were prompt and charming. Our food was exceptional - slow roast lamb for my companion and a sole meunière for me. Absolutely delicicious. Together with beautifully cooked side orders of haricots verts, creamed spinach and lyonnaise potatoes. It isn’t cheap but you get what you pay for. A lovely experience.

We got breakfast included with our room, so ate here every morning but one (got room service on Saturday since we had an early tour booked). Breakfast menu is not large but does offer good variety from Continental Breakfast to Full English Breakfast. There is a fully-enclosed outdoor patio for lunch or evening drinks and snacks (when it isn't raining). They offer Afternoon Tea (we didn't try this) and a good variety on the dinner menu. The Onion Soup is really good! Prices are reasonable for Edinburgh.

We went for dinner on a Friday. We were immediately sat but it felt like the maitre d' was the only person who could actually take orders, and she was really welcoming and friendly. There were at least 5 waiters and waitresses but nobody could take our order and they kept calling on someone else, and it took more than 15 minutes for our empty plates to be taken away. The evening was still enjoyable though as the food and the wine were amazing. The salmon was really fresh and the beetroot risotto was perfectly cooked. I'd happily go back if they sort out their issues with the service.

We did not stay here but booked for dinner in the bistro. The food and service were excellent. It is not cheap. The Steak was £28 and £24.50 for fish. The streak was beautifully cooked. Only dis appointing thing was an £8.50 service charge which is poor in my opinion. Regardless of the service standard you will incur this.

We ate here with a tour group and had such a lovely meal. The staff worked hard to serve everyone promptly. Granted, we dined from a pre-fix menu with limited choices.

Ask your server about it. It is worth a try. Would definitely try then again if in the area. The hotel has a beautiful courtyard as well.

Me alojé aquí un par de noches mientras estábamos en Edimburgo con un amigo, qué lugar tan encantador. No es particularmente céntrico, pero tampoco es una mala ubicación, cerca de la Iglesia Greyfriars y del famoso Bobby. (Por favor, no le toques la nariz, ¡no hay suerte y está dañando la estatua!) El hotel es encantador, las habitaciones son amplias y confortables, sin embargo, el único inconveniente es que los que nos quedamos en la parte delantera del hotel encontramos el ruido de la calle. Los perturbó durante la noche hasta altas horas de la madrugada. El patio interior era encantador y el restaurante desayunos deliciosos y una buena elección.

Tenía grandes esperanzas para este lugar, pero me pareció horrible. La falta total de condimentos en el main fue especialmente un gran error de novato. Alguien no estaba probando la comida que estaban haciendo. Al tener que agregar una tonelada de sal y pimienta para intentar rescatar las mejillas de los cerdos, fracasaron por completo y se olvidaron de agregar la mostaza a la mostaza (o sal). El primer plato de jamón de corvejón tenía demasiada jalea yuck a su alrededor. Así que esperaba con ansia el postre ya que me moría de hambre. Se le dio el menú para mirar, esperó una eternidad a que regresara el mozo, pidió que le dijeran a la migaja que no quedaba nada. Obviamente, no pensó en decirnos eso para empezar. Conozco otros que han estado desde entonces y algunas de las opciones no estaban disponibles. Si hay un menú fijo con solo 3 opciones de entrante, principal y postre, faltar una o dos reduce drásticamente las opciones. El lugar estaba lleno, muy ruidoso y no hay un toque personal. No te hacen sentir bienvenido. Te arrastran, te alimentan y luego te arrastran. Nunca volveré! ! !

We arrived with a booking on a Friday night but the restaurant was not busy. I had looked on their website before arriving for an idea of their menu items. There are three menus on the web, we were offered one when we were seated. I enquired about the others and the waitress went off to consult and then reappeared with a second menu, but the tasting menu did not get a mention. Wine is on the expensive side - we went for their cheapest red and it was very good. I just cannot detect the added value in a bottle costing three or four times what the waiting staff are earnng per hour. Portion sizes are not large but the food is well prepared and presented. Ambiance is pleasant with a relaxed feel.

The hotel is very pretty and the 2 areas of the restaurant very attractive. We had some snacks and then the steak with a bottle of red and 2 sides. The red and steak were both very good but the sides were a little disappointing. Small portion of skinny fries and a very plain boring side salad.

The staff at the hotel, in the bar and in the restaurant really made our weekend away special and I can’t praise them highly enough. This was our first experience of the hotel du vin chain but ‘chain’ is not appropriate. You are made to feel special, part of the family almost and you are catered for by people, not employees. This is the highest compliment I can give and would recommend a trip here for any occasion you might have. Special mention to Ashley and Lucas for their efforts in making our stay great.

A group of us had been in Edinburgh to complete the Breast Cancer Moonwalk on the 9th June and decided to treat ourselves to Afternoon Tea on the Monday. As some of our group are Mental Health Professionals the fact that the Hotel is in the old asylum seemed fitting! We booked a couple of days earlier and the Hotel checked on any food allergies (one dairy free and one cannot have eggs). The food was fantastic, well presented and an interesting choice. Only disappointment was the service which was quite disjointed, there were lots of staff and the restaurant was not busy, so could not really understand the delays that we encountered. Overall a good experience, but we did not pay the service charge that automatically gets put on the bill.

We were staying in Edinburgh as it was my husband’s 50th birthday and booked the table online after reading reviews. We had a lovely, relaxed evening. Staff were attentive and pleasant throughout. Would definitely go again.

Amazing experience. We were given the chef's table which was such a cool experience. Sunday Lunch is great value for money and a very high standard of food. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Will definitely come back!

Both our host at reception Lucas, and our waiters (Dirk and Alex) for dinner were absolutely amazing. From our perch in the whiskey den to our amaizing dinner service including one of the best steaks we've ever had. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

En el lado positivo, la comida (cuando los platos) es precioso, el ambiente es estupendo y hay algunos vino en oferta. Por desgracia, nuestra noche era un catálogo de errores que comenzó con la que se presentan con un bistec a la tártara en vez de una tarta provenzal. Mi compañero de arranque no fue eliminado con el bistec a la tártara ilícitos así que comimos los entrantes por separado, lo que no es genial. Habíamos pedido un vaso de vino para nuestros entrantes y platos principales al comienzo de la comida. El vino con el impulso a empezar llegó, pero tuvimos que pedir tres veces para el vino con los platos principales. Cada vez nos preguntaron "¿Qué pides? "Lo que me molestó: lo que dice la orden. Habíamos pedido guarniciones con nuestros platos principales. Estaban fríos y sustitución (y no nos cobraron por ellos). Pedimos dos vasos pequeños de Pedro Ximénez después de la cena y cuando recibimos la factura, nos cobraron por vasos grandes. Estábamos harto de consultar cosas en este punto que pagamos y la izquierda (aunque lamentó que la mañana después! Fue una noche) caro (150 libras para dos) que haya tantas cosas mal.

We were staying here so on the last night we had dinner. It was the best overall meal we had in Edinburgh and that was down to the others being poor.

Great restaurant, with top class food and great service from a quality staff. BUT...........for value there needs to be an offer on as the prices aren't cheap. For January - 50% off the a la carte menu. Tremendous value

Me alojé aquí por negocios por 2 noches la semana pasada. Muy satisfactorio - habitación bien amueblada, con una cama muy cómoda, buena calidad y un personal amable y servicial. No comimos en el restaurante por la noche, así que no puedo comentar sobre eso

I have eaten at branches of Hotel du Vin in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Cambridge and have found the brand unfailingly reliable. I had a lovely meal with an old friend and was delighted with my evening.

We have had lunch here often over the years (with a rating of 5) and some evening meals too, but this was the worst so far.

Two friends and I booked to have a festive dinner at the Hotel du Vin earlier this month (15th). It was a great evening, excellent food and excellent service.

When you dine out in Christmas Day, it’s meant to be a nice, fulfilling experience as a treat; this was our first Christmas Day not entertaining and cooking so we opted for a brand we knew and trusted.

Not as good as previous experiences with this chain. Staff just not on the ball and roast potatoes burned. Air of couldn't care less, sadly as this chain usually pride themselves on customer service.

Yo he comido y estuvimos en muchos hotel du vins alrededor del país, pero nunca he tenido el té de la tarde en uno. A menudo para el té de la tarde, así que tengo muchas experiencias para comparar. En primer lugar, no me puedo...

i see the store is closing soon and i can see why, I was attended by “G” and it was very impolite and impatient with me and my friends. The food was good but not great.

Ordered 2 x large breakfast. Drinks not recieved by the time food arrived. Had to go collect them sitting on end of bar after we had had finished eating. Coke flat and not chilled, can of monster warm *dont think this was because they were sitting think this was how they would have been served). No hash browns with food. Asked at the bar to have them sent out, should have been 6hash browns with 2 large breakfast. Only 4 came after we finished eating. Burned toast and barely 2 table spoons of beans with no juice wish I'd took a picture to show you how awful it was! Will not return. Sounds like I've just been picky but it really was not the regular wetherspoons cheap and cheerful we are used to and we eat in spoons all over the country 😞

Stood for 3/4 mins until someone came and spoke to us. That didn’t feel very welcoming Service was variable - overall 7 out of 10

No atmosphere, poor coffee, lacked any level of customer service. Fantastic location must rely on passing trade. Sorry 😞.
