Spry Wines in Edinburgh, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely place, great feel to it, and amazing staff! However have to be honest and rate it down due to two factors: 1. For what it is, the place is really overpriced, loved the experience still, but not sure it justifies the cost tbh 2. While the food tasted great, all my party member including myself mentioned they had a really bad stomach ache after, some lasted to the next day Though I wish I could rate higher as the satff was some of the nicest and friendliest I habe ever dealt with, all the love to them ❤️

Lovely meal & attentive service. Cool chic vibe, expensive but unique experience for Edinburgh

I stopped to this place a few times ready and I always want to go back! The food is great and so are the wines 🙃. Highly recommend

Wow, what a place. Staff who don't claim to be a Sommelier but are, food to die for and a reputation that is well deserved. Add an ability to buy from the wine list at good prices. Oh and back to the food. Just amazing! Don't read the reviews, just go!

I went here with my boyfriend for my birthday surprise and it was amazing. We had the tasting menu with the matching wines and every single course was delicious. Fun and efficient service and a relaxing vibey atmosphere. Will definitely be returning!

Had the 5 course menu with paired wines. Great experience, worth the price, will repeat.

Delicious wines, friendly service & exceptionally creative dishes. The small terrace outside is a real suntrap and perfect for people watching.

Beautifuly amd well thought out natural wine bar. Staff know their stuff, impeccable service and delicious food at an acceptable price point for the experience.

Not a place where you would feel welcome with a kid. We called up and asked if it I was okay to bring a kid along, the stuff was so welcoming and reassuring on the phone. And when we turned up, the experience exceeded our expectations. So glad to have a family friendly wine bar like this in the area.

Great food, great wine, great service.

Exciting menu; expertly executed dishes. Fantastic knowledgeable service. A very classy gem.

Lovely place, nice wine, nice nibbles

Stellar experience. First the wine was very refreshing and simply delicious. The selection and pairings with the food was perfect. Then the food itself was delicate, diverse and sometimes even complex,but always with pleasure and taste as the center. The chef is very skilled, and the whole crew makes for the best hosts. I recommend fully

Wine selection was pretty good, small snacks were perfection and ambiance is unbeatable. Loved our little nook by the window. Tried the sourdough, orange wine, and monkfish, everything was delicious.

Spry reminded me very much of pintxos bars in Spain. The canapé style food included some interesting combinations but was let down by the available wine selection. They also need an extractor fan over the hotplates when frying.

Food and wine was delicious. Disappointed with the service though. We were told to move from the table we booked because it had been promised to someone else. We were still waiting for food we'd ordered at that point, so we just asked for the bill and left. Won't be rushing back any time soon.

Delicious wine, relaxed atmosphere, it is special place.

Great vegan options. Beautiful setting. Lovely staff.

My friend recommended this we cute place and I loved it! Loads of variety of unique wines that you can't see in another places. Food was very nice, small plates to share were delicious and presentation very good. Staff very friendly and helpful with the choice of the wine. Our waitress was very attentive all the time. The only bad thing I could say and it wasn't a problem it was the food service was a wee bit slow but the place was very busy then we could understand.

Good/interesting selection and lovely staff but let down by sauna conditions caused by zero ventilation and soup/stew simmering on the bar.

The orange wine was fantastic. Lovely service and atmosphere.

Me and my gals went for a bottle of orange wine, shared creamy gnocchi, roasted cabbage with hummus(?), and this cheese and cracker dish- wigmore cheese with some kind of jam was really tasty. The vibe was so nice, staff was very friendly, it was a perfect night out with the girls at Spry! Would go there again.

We had the five-course tasting menu with wine flight on a very busy Friday evening. In short: fascinating food creations, intriguing wine choices and much grace under pressure. A charming, life-affirming evening. Thanks to all the staff who made it so enjoyable.

Liberal + student-y clientele. Lovely ambience. I really enjoyed the minimalistic decor. The food was decent. Really interesting wine. The service was really disappointing. Staff would forget basics (e.g., clearing up all your plates but forgetting to clear away your cutlery or clear the table) and were inattentive. The food took too long to arrive. I think that the staff need greater training and some senior oversight.

Fantastic food, great vegan choices plus delicious alcohol free drinks, lovely staff. Been 3 times & never dissapoints !

Incredible good Drinks & Food! Very nice Staff. Thanks guys

First visited at the end of 2019 and have been coming back ever since. Great staff who are terribly attentive. What a beautiful selection of wines, and the price range is great. It allows the more adventurous to try some particularly unusual ones that catch your attention. Great to sit at the bar with a bottle, grab some food to pick away at and enjoy the atmosphere. One of our favorite places in edinburgh by far.! Do make sure and book, tables are sought after. This is must visit..!!

Food very nice although not quite 'there' yet but excellent attitude towards dietary requirements and overall great experience.

This is one of the very best tasting menus in Edinburgh - it's such great value and the experience is amazing. We were lucky enough to have braised beef with the most delicious mushrooms I've had in my life! All the courses were really delicate with fantastic pairings. It was such a special experience - the staff were so lovely, and we were served by the chef. I'm a really big fan of tasting menus but they've become so expensive in Edinburgh - and sometimes a little fussy. I think this one is amazing because the food is so simple; delicious; and the chef is a firm believer in sourcing hyper local produce. It's also super down to earth - with a focus on nice food and presentation, but none of the fussiness of Michelin star restaurants. The bar staff (sommeliers?) are also so passionate about the wine and speak really engagingly about the producers/grapes/flavours. A total hidden gem for fine dining in Edinburgh. And super laid back.

Really lovely place discovered recently! Nice atmosphere and wine, friendly staff 😊

This is a new one on us but a really good choice. Food was interesting full of flavour and very tasty. Non alcoholic beer was super good and if I am honest the service was second to none. A very relaxed, Sunday afternoon was had by myself and our friends. Lovely 😍

Åt middag, alla rätter jättegoda! Mkt trevlig service och ganska kul viner.

Elegant wine bar offering a fair selection of wines as well as great food. It is expensive but great value for money for a fine-dining experience. I loved the modern aesthetic and cool atmosphere. Staff were very attentive and nice! Would highly recommend coming here for a drink and light food, or on a date.

We had an absolutely wonderful time here. Every dish was phenomenal and so well thought out. The food was paced very well so we never felt too full but we were satisfied. We didn’t feel rushed at all. The atmosphere was so relaxed. Staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The selection of wine was so interesting and broad, with options for every price point and the staff recommended pairings for the dishes we had. We were absolutely blown away and enjoyed every moment.

Amazing cozy wine place with authentic small plates food

Great wine bar, excellent atmosphere and friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lovely small bites to go with the wine, especially the really fresh cheese! Can't wait to go back.

Excellent wine bar at the top of Leith Walk -very near the tram stop. Decent prices in a nice setting and friendly service.

Throughly enjoyed our time at Spry Wines. Every single dish we tried was amazing. Nice selection of wines by glass and quite extensive list of wines by bottle. Very friendly crew, I would recommend to sit at bar and enjoy your drinks while watching them in action.

Super freundlicher Service, die Auswahl an Weinen und Snacks ist auch top. Kartenzahlung möglich.

Spot on in every respect. The Stilton and pain perdu was something else!

Best wine bar in Edinburgh! Great service again this time, the staff remembered us from our last visit and even remembered the specific bottle we wanted. Will definitely be back! Also the chocolate raisins are always a bonus

Very cosy, intimate place with friendly staff and wine was delish. Will be back to try more, and the food next time! Worth the price for natural wines that you can't find easily elsewhere.

Amazing wine bar with a flawlessly designed interior, a constantly evolving menu of wines and the staff are extremely helpful at making recommendations. Great date night spot or a place to catch up with friends

Truly stunning food. The raviolo is the best thing I’ve eaten this year. Great wine selection, lovely atmosphere but above all friendly service.

Great food, excellent selection of wine and great sommeliers. Great place to sit on a wet Friday night, nibbling delicious dishes, sipping wine through candle light atmosphere.

It’s been a while since I wrote a review and I feel a bit bad that I feel almost compelled to write this review given our experience. We were unpleasantly surprised with our experience this evening given at the tables versus the bar. The high tables for 4 is extremely cramped and the regular tables are more like a couch and 2 chair with side tables. Definitely not what I expected. Portion sizes are extremely tiny and we left the place hungry. Our last two dishes, salami and cheese, took ages to arrive - at this point we just cancelled our order and asked for the cheque. Understand they were short staffed in the kitchen but combined with the fact that the food was underwhelming, it left a pretty poor impression. Grossly overpriced and mediocre food at best. The wait staff was friendly though :)

Really lovely find, staff did their utmost to fit us in + a great/fun wine list with inventive small plates. Would come back.

Fantastic selection of natural wines and small dishes. Knowledgeable staff that is fun to talk to. As we came quite early not all dishes were available, which didn't have any impact on how much we enjoyed ourselves here. If time would have allowed we would have come back to try the whole menu.

Cool vibe and interesting wines. I tried the Czech orange wine which had a super complex flavour. Good music playing and friendly, helpful staff. Definitely will come back to try the food next!

The ambience and the people are fantastic. An added bonus :) - food and drinks are delicious!

Had a fabulous dinner tonight, the owner is passionate, « aux petite soins » everything is done with care. Decoration perfect, even if I do not drink wine I had a lovely time. It is a refined place.

Nicely decorated, friendly staff, good wine selection and well prepared small dishes - but the smallest of small dishes I've ever encountered, and as a result bad value for money. We left hungry.

Sat in lounge for an hour and got a glass of wine but still no dentist. Tooth is beginning to hurt. Hope to hear soon. Ouchy! Should up at 2:30, tooth still hurty. Lot of wine about the place, not very profesh. Staff seemed a little wasted — actually they could just be chillax like my buddy Alec. He needs teeth!

Simply amazing!! Delicious food paired with great wines (highly recommend the lobster dish & the Pinot gris from Alsace, a bit cloudy and sour). The service was also great, they were very knowledgeable on their wines and the atmosphere is so nice. Highly recommend!

Very enjoyable visit. Excellent and tasty vegetarian options. Friendly service.

Amazing selection of exclusively natural wines for a very fair price. Very friendly staff and great vibe

Spry is a hidden gem of a wine bar and bottle shop in the heart of the Leith. Specializing in naturally made wines, this spot is a must-visit for any wine connoisseur. The menu is an ever-changing selection of locally sourced and seasonal dishes, offering a unique dining experience that never gets old. The wine list is impressive, featuring a vast selection of reds, whites and oranges that perfectly complement the menu. With its warm and inviting atmosphere and attentive service, Spry is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal and a glass of wine with friends.

Second time visiting Spry, it's becoming a go to in Edinburgh. Wine list is outstanding, and the food list is great. One of the few wine bars to cater for vegetarians too - always a decent amount of offerings. Beautiful shop, lovely staff and all round banging service. Can't wait to return.

Amazing food and good selection of wines. Unique ambience for a hang out 🤍

Super moment dans ce bar à vin très qualitatif : l'ambiance, la nourriture délicieuse, des très bons vins nature !

Really liked this place, will be back v soon 😄 Really friendly staff and a great selection of wine

Pretty much perfect - food, wine and service were all excellent

Extremely rude member of staff inside this place who is tall with curly hair. Atmosphere is nice but the rudeness overrides anything here. Would suggest going somewhere else

Just love it here. Go time and time again

Super cozy, great natural wines, nice staff and aesthetic interiors… what else do you want?

Surprise of the town. Tasty food, very interesting labels in terms of wine, friendly service.

Can't recommend more! Tasty small plates, inspired wine list and lovely staff!

Great place for an intimate date with friends or loved ones.

Cost wine bar, good for catching up with small group of friends

This is a beautiful, intimate wine bar with a minimalist vibe, a great atmosphere and a fantastically large range of wines, served either by the glass or bottle. They also serve some tasty small plates, which are well worth trying. Staff are friendly and uniformly trendy in a very consistent way. It’s like they have a casting department rather than a HR officer, ha! The only issue with Spry (in my opinion) is this - if you book (as is sensible because it’s popular) you are required to leave credit card details with a £40 fine if you don’t turn up. £40 is a little steep, when it’s not a restaurant, in my opinion but that’s not the issue I have. My issue is that after booking, and leaving card details, you are taken to two bar stools upon which you are left for the remainder of the evening. They do not allow you to graduate to a table, it appears, unless you are lucky enough to be placed on one of the few tables on arrival. It just seems to me that having the strict booking rules with a £40 fee for non-attendance is a bit much when all you get is two wooden, quite uncomfortable, bar stools. I think people expect a little more than that, maybe even a chair or stool with a back (!), when the reservation system is like that. Anyway, great place, otherwise!

Had a beautiful evening meal, we did the tasting with the accompanying wines. The staff were knowledgeable and just really nice. The food was interesting as well as delicious and the wines were a good balance of challenging and classic. We liked it so much we went to their coffee shop for breakfast the next morning, it was also delicious. If we lived in Edinburgh we'd be there every weekend. A lovely spot.

Lovely place. Really accommodating and knowledgeable staff. 10/10 will be back.

Delightful wine bar with exceptional small food plates. Staff were fantastic

Great selection of wines with good food pairings. Cool vibe

Great service and fantastic nibbles and vino ! A firm favourite!

Outstanding service, great atmosphere and superb wine selection makes this little place one of our best experiences in Edinburgh. They serve delicious wines ranging from Slovenian orange wines to sparkling wines from England. And on top of that top notch food, so there is no need to hesitate.

Had a lovely afternoon at Spry Wines, a great space with lovely service. Really enjoyed the selection of dishes on the a la carte menu, as well as some great wines and in-house soft drinks for my partner. Highlights of the menu have been picture below:

Fantastic service, however let down by the overpriced food and drink. We had the set menu (5 very small portions and, aside from a course with 4 langoustine tails, all vegetarian) with paired wines (all less than 100ml) which came to 170 for 2 plus tip. Prices on the website need updating as it was £20 more expensive than stated.

Beautiful spot for unique wines. Staff so wonderful and attentive with plenty of suggestions if you are struggling to chose. Small plates very good too. Loved the communal feel of the central bar. Will be back

Spry was incredible. Fantastically fresh and delicious tasting course with delightful wine pairings. Incredible service from the team who worked seamlessly, whilst being super friendly.

Don't usually write reviews but had to share about this amazing place. Wines were sometimes unusual but great. Food was excellent. Small plates well put together, the cicely ice cream was very special. Atmosphere was beautifully done, all round a top class dining out experience

An excellent natural wine restaurant with really nice eats and super nice service.

Incredible wines and always great service

Good space, but we were basically bullied into coming. We booked and needed to cancel for no fault of our own and they charge a £50 fee. Ridiculous!

Rather plain premises, decent wines, not many seats. Not terribly cheery staff.

This place is a unique spot that I want to give five stars for ambience, wine, food. But experience ruined by poor handling of table booking timing. Still irate that they would serve us food and a second glass of wine then bring us the bill and say we have to leave in the next five minutes before my friend had time to even taste it. Am sure the wine would have been perfect. Shame still major kinks in the rest. Definitely try the wine again but take my stopwatch next time.

Fantastic wine and tasty morsels of food

Great staff and fantastic wine and menu. Room feels a bit sparse and echoey due to Covid regulations. But definitely a very affluent hipster venue - if you like that kind of thing.

Amazing little place my wife and I visited while we were in Edinburgh, incredible wine, lovely interior and amazing vibe of place, would highly recommend a visit, it’s so good we went back the next day

Interesting wines by the glass. We didn't have any snacks this time but they were interesting and tasty last time we were here.

Recommended by few friends and the manager at Noto (another place you should try), this is definitely the best wine place you can find. Relaxed atmosphere, broad wine selection, great service, food is perfect. This is the ultimate spot for treating yourself or go for a date.

What an excellent place to spend a few hours. They really excelled in every way that they could. Run by a couple who are passionate, knowledgeable without the usual pretentiousness that many places with this standard of wine and food can sometimes have. They offer you a very unique experience and a journey of flavours with food and wine pairings that is by far my best experience in Edinburgh in the last 10 years. The food is unique, well thought out and expertly delivered. Similarly the wines are well sourced with many from small wine producers with amazing stories of who produces them and where. All the information delivered in a relaxed and informative way and he is patient and never once made us feel awkward if we asked more about wines that we didnt know about but instead educated us without judgement. So if you are looking for a high end culinary experience with warmth and unpretentiousness, this is the place for you. Plus, you can buy any of the wines you liked to take away. Well done guys!

Without a doubt my go-to place for wine now, being a fan of fruity red wines personally, the staff here are very friendly and know exactly what wines are up your street. Never had a bad experience here in the few times visiting 🙌❤️

Great selection of wines. Bit disappointed on the food side, but other than that it's a brilliant and cosy bar with a vibrant atmosphere. Will be back!

Lovely wee wine bar with the most helpful + friendly staff. The food is delicious too.

Spry Wines is a favorite of ours. We discovered it shortly before Lockdown last year and since reopening for sit in, it has quickly become a favorite spot to catch up with friends and family. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the owners cannot do enough for you; always smiling and ensuring your time there is enjoyable. Spry Wines is a great spot for all occasions whether its to have a quiet relaxing time trying some new wines or catching up with some friends for a fun night. Oh and the chicken dumplings are an absolute vibe, delicious!

Unfortunately really bad and arrogant attitude of owner - bought a bottle of wine which was corked and they refused to accept that.

Delicious homemade food and natural wines with very smart interior and attentive service. No complaints.

Great advice! Loved our first orange wine.

Beautiful ambience and fantastic range of wines.Owners very knowledgeable and welcoming. Nice side dishes to compliment wines.
