The hospitality and overall vibe here is great. The menu is short and easy to share many small plates. Our second visit here did not disappoint. There’s a creative flair to the dishes that make them very interesting and delicious. Will come back again and again. Cheers!

Perfect sharing experience. The food, the space, and service are all world-class. Couldn’t rate The Black Grape more highly. They’re also excellent with dietary restrictions.

Great restaurant with small dishes with great flavours and tastes. Seems to be very heathy with food prepped on the premises and presented really well. A great little find away from some of the hustle and bustle further up the Royal Mile.
