The Black Grape in Edinburgh, City of

Instagram photos don’t always tell the truth. While service and wine were very good, the food was a big disappointment. Look very pretty on the plate (for instagram) but none of the dishes were memorable or flavourful.

Excellent food and friendly service. Everything was delicious and service top notch. Lots of vegetarian options as well. Would love to go back.

I visited on the 13th July for my friend’s birthday. The staff were so welcoming and gave us useful information on how the menu worked and came to checked we were okay for drinks several times throughout. I was so impressed with the standard of the cocktails and our food was amazing. The crispy pork belly and the buffalo mozzarella were my favourites but genuinely couldn’t fault any of the dishes and all our plates were completely clean at the end. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, is beautifully designed but has a nice relaxed feeling to it too. Will be recommending and coming back!

The freshest high quality produce used to put something together that’s very very good… Excellent staff make this a lovely date night.

Superb selection of well cooked, interesting dishes. A wonderful new wine for me was a real treat (Xinomavro) The service (Jess) was perfect! Relaxed, efficient, friendly and well timed. I loved the furnishing and decor - very comfortable. One minor complaint - it was just too noisey. A combination of many hard surfaces, few soft surfaces and music that was unnecessary. Would we come and eat here again ? Absolutely! Would I change anything? Only the acoustics need improving. This place is special and we enjoyed a lovely night together. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our evening.
