Du Vin Bistro - Edinburgh, City of

It is a local located inside an elegant hotel, preceded by a charming corner of a small garden, which we found very cozy and characteristic. The staff is very kind and helpful and the tried dishes were tasty. The duck is remarkable, the traditional steak and good desserts, including the black forest really worthy of appreciation. Average high prices.

We enjoyed a nice dinner, tasty and neat. We tasted or chicken with potatomos and rumbsteak with fries and bearnaise. The local restaurant is cozy decorated with countless minor framed advertising posters from earlier times, and with wines labels and other effects that give a French touch. We had attempted in advance to order chateaubriant on the website, but since it could not be able to execute the order. Therefore I tried to write to the restaurant of two laps, but my emails were unfortunately not answered. It was a bit disappointing.

We visited Hotel du Vin for a special meal on Friday 7th August .... we were greeted by a very friendly lady and liked the ambience. I ordered steak and asked for it as advertised ... pink. It was done to shoe leather We asked for wine with the meal but had to ask for it to be served and it arrived when we had almost finished without an apology from a male wIter who was clearly not i terested in his job The rioja was delicious We decided to have another one and the rioja tasted as though it was dregs . I complained and was offered another glass but stupidly did not want to make a fuss The bill was £100+ which would have been OK but not with the poor service, poor food and atrocious wine. I did nor want to make a fuss as it was a special visit and it would have spoiled the moment .... I should have done!!!

We had Sunday lunch here the last Sunday before lockdown it was absolutely delicious. We used an ITISON voucher I can’t wait to go back. A glass of champagne a starter from the amazing cold buffet then roast beef (wow) followed by a amazing puds. Service was very good the place was busy so a great atmosphere too.will be back soon.

We came here with an Itison voucher for a two course lunch time meal Choice of three starters,mains and sweets Chose our main to be told they had run out of crabcakes....at one o’clock Only one meat or vegetarian choice then ! If this is the usual menu ,why had they run out of one dish Cullen skink soup starter was very nice,our second choice was the vegetarian haggis,as we don’t like lamb.It was also good Drinks expensive,plus a service charge added on Nothing startling decor wise Tables very close together Looking forward to coming here A bit disappointing
