    Incredible restaurant with a modern take on traditional local cuisine. Great value and small plates for the entire table to enjoy. The cocktail list is another high point as they use ingredients you would never think to use at home but executed perfectly. A definite spot for those that want to explore the local cuisine without traditional stigmas.

    This is our first trip to Edinburgh, and we were delighted to find The Black Grape. The food was exceptionally well prepared and presented. We loved the flavors of everything we had. The scallops, olives, hummus and arancini were particularly delicious. We look forward to dining at The Black Grape on our next trip to Edinburgh.

    We absolutely loved this tapas restaurant in Edinburgh on our way down the Mile to the Palace. The food and menu were great, and the staff very engaged. We were the first customers of the day at lunchtime coincidentally my wife’s birthday and the kitchen delivered. Great place to wine and graze.
