- SShionaNorth Scotland •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoFrom start to finish our Afternoon Tea experience at The Ivy in Edinburgh was wonderful. The staff were extremely friendly and courteous. The food was delicious, from the tasty sandwiches to the scones and amazing chocolate cake! We enjoyed every mouthful but had to take the chocolate bombs and truffles home as we were so full.More infoThe Ivy on the SquarePrice: Expensive• Contemporary British• Old Town•4.5

- JJohnEdinburgh/Midlothian •8 reviews4.0Dined on 14 Feb 2025We had a very good meal and the service was excellent. It was marvellous to get a proper French meal with escargots, chateaubriand and tarte tatin - an excellent set dinner with a bottle of red Bordeaux wine. The price, however was more elevated than it might have been, but I am perhaps a bit out of date.More infoBistro du Vin EdinburghPrice: Expensive• French• Old Town•4.1
